    • I'm not sure you can attribute drowsiness to the drug. There could be several reasons for feeling drowsy, like lack of quality sleep. I would probably start back on 1x a week and see how you feel.
    • If you can take oral finasteride without side effects, keep using the oral version, its more effective. I have only tried one topical (Xyon). For me, it has worked really well. It's more expensive than the others, but that's because it has a higher concentration of finasteride and dutasteride. If you were worried about side effects, I would recommend topical dutasteride. 
    • As most of you know, our recommendation process has changed.  View the new process here. We rely on a selected board of highly esteemed, valued contributors from the forum with extensive knowledge to judge a physician's body of work based on our criteria. To view our membership criteria for recommendation, click here.    Why We Feel Dr. Kulakarn is Worthy of Our Recommendation.  Dr. Kulakarn performs FUT and FUE regularly in her practice. Dr. Kulakarn uses a 0.9-0.95 punch. She tailors the punch depending on the patient's hair characteristics and whether the hair is harvested from the scalp or beard. She performs long hair FUE, No Shave FUE, beard hair transplants (BHT), and Eyebrow restoration using the Mamba trivellini device. Dr. Kulakarn performs one surgery per day but can perform up to 2 surgeries if she's restoring eyebrows or performing a beard hair transplant, which requires fewer grafts.  Dr. Kulakarn harvests all the grafts herself for FUE; she creates the pre-made slits, and the grafts are sorted, and her team of skilled nurses implants 80% of the grafts. She finishes the last 20% of implantation herself using the stick-and-place method. She only uses the stick and place method for temple peaks because implanters cannot create a flat enough angle as manual implantation. She follows the same process for eyebrows.  Dr. Kulakarn is a Thai board-certified plastic surgeon with impressive academic credentials and degrees from renowned institutions. She has focused on surgical hair restoration since 2009, when she joined the DHT clinic with Elite Coalition surgeon Dr. Path. @Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich, who spearheaded follicular unit grafting and pioneered ultra-refined hair transplant surgery in Thailand. Dr. Kulakarn performed surgery alongside Dr. Path from 2009 to 2012. She has been performing hair transplants at her clinic (BHI Clinic) since 2012, where she has flourished and achieved excellent results. NOTE:  Our senior valued contributors have reviewed Dr. Kulakarn's results, ethics, and methodology independently. Without patient reviews posted on this forum, this recommendation is conditional and tentative based on Dr. Kulakarn's results and experience at her clinic and with Dr. Path, a pioneer in Thailand.  While we highly value independent patient reviews, we are talent scouts, and the absence of reviews does not mean a doctor is not good or worthy of recommendation. We pride ourselves on finding the best surgeons unknown to internet forums or the Western world. Many become top surgeons globally recognized once their patients start sharing their experiences in our community. We have no doubts that Dr. Kulakarn will be no different. But we want to stress the importance of doing your due diligence and carefully researching surgeons. Thank you, especially to the board. For total transparency, all except Al (our moderator) are unpaid community members and volunteers. @Gatsby @A_4_Archan @Steeeve @Berba11 @Al - formerly BeHappy We invite you to review @Kulakarn profile below:   https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/dr-kulakarn-amonpattana    
    • Definitely wasn't trying to be patriotic, as the top surgeons are definitely found overseas. I was just curious in regards to  Gro as a company.  At face value they seem too commercialised , but there patient videos do seem to speak for themselves. I do wonder if, technology and tools have advanced so much that the average practitioner/ dr can pull off a decent transplant these days ? i have no doubt that trick lighting / photography plays a part in that, but I feel like they show the best results for the Aussie hair transplant industry ?
    • 1,500 additional grafts, or 1,500 total (including the recent procedure)? looking at options for an unshaven procedure currently.
