Before HT

Armani Hair Transplant

I started losing my hair at around 20-21, probably started a little before that, but didn't notice it yet. I shaved my head when I was 21 with a bunch of college buddies and the NW6 frontal arch loss was apparent and on its way to fall out. I was cursed. Ever since then I've been waking up in the morning noticing my hair in my hands after some gellin' or shampooing. I'm talking maybe 15-20 hairs every day. I went and met up with Dr. Cole back in the day in 2001, he was in the DC/Metro Area and recommended that I don't get a HT, I was at NW1 at that point but he told me that I was definitely going to lose my hair. So I started on Rogaine 2% and hated how greasy/messy it was, and then started on propecia. As a college student propecia was just too expensive and I slowly went into denial, not thinking that my hair loss was going to get worse. So after a couple of years 2003 it got worse, and I started using minoxidil daily and it looks like it maintained my crown but the front was just not hanging in there and I was still losing hair at a rediculous rate. Then my cousing got an HT in 2005, saw the results and went in to a his HT doctor and told me i might need about 1500 grafts. After looking at the forums and started doing research in March/Feb 2007 1500 grafts was nothing with my problem. I then started my propecia regimen up again after meeting with Dr. Bernstein in NY in April, very cool guy, professional and conservative. He did all the tests free consultation, highly recommended but conservative with the hairlines. Then I really considered doing an HT with Hasson/Wong, but I was a little apprehensive about the FUSS procedure. I then was in doubt and thought cloning would come in before I lost all my hair, but I just couldn't wait any longer, my confidence really started to diminish and the hair loss really was affecting my social life and attitude. So I wanted a real good natural looking HT and I decided to pull the trigger with Alvi Armani.I went in for a 3560 FUE procedure, took a flight out to Toronto and finished the job. I already feel better, and I'm really optimistic about how the results will be, looking at everyone elses results with Armani. Great clinic, not as personalized as I wanted it to be, but the place is like clockwork in and out, Dr. Armani really has the FUE process down. They make it seem so easy.
