As many of you know, I am a long time (16 years now) user of fina. Worked wonders for me.
MPB is a big problem on both sides of my family tree - every man on both sides has been totally bald by age 30 (except me of course b/c of fina).
My little brother just turned 30 and he refused to take my advice back in his 20's and get on fina when his hair started to thin. He was so worried about "going limp" that he wouldn't even consider the idea of using fina.
Well, he just spent $17K last July to get a follicular transplant of 5800 hairs moved from the back of his head to the front of his hairline.
It has not reached its full density yet (takes a full year) but by every indication, it is going to look fantastic.
It was a one day procedure that took about 10 hours. He worked with a specialist who only does hair transplants. That is the key to it. Do not go to someone who does hair transplants unless that is all they do. The guy he went to is in Atlanta and his name is Dr. Edmond Griffin. He has been doing transplants for 25 years. He is one of the the very best in the country. He ain't cheap but if you are going to do this - do it right.
If you want more info, let me know. My brother is an MD (Pediatrics) also so he did his homework. I'll find out anything that you might want to know.
Regards.
