Hello everyone. Im new to this forum, and I found you all by searching for "hair restoration message boards."

I am a woman, I live in NYC, and I have been losing my hair since my early 20's. I am now "almost" 46 years old , and my hair loss is almost in the advanced stages where my scalp is becoming difficult to hide.

My hair loss I would say is mostly at the hair line and the crown, which I believe is typical for women (I might be wrong). I am not on any special shampoos to help stop my hair loss, but I have tried Rogaine and Nioxin in the past. Honestly, I never stayed on any of these products long enough to notice if it was working or not.

After much consideration about my options, I have decided I do not want to go through the rest of my life wearing a wig, or wearing a system that will probably only promote more hair loss. I want to find out more information about hair restoration.

I have read through Falcero's comments (thank you for sharing your experiences), and I think I am in the right place for help.

I am glad I found you all and this site. If you can give me any suggestions regarding:

1) why I should stay away from centers such as Bosleys for instance.
2) NYC area doctors I can visit to determine my degree of hair loss and what my options are.
3) Costs.

Thanks again for being here. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Thank you Falc! Will do

Hello this is my first blog. This is great to have a forum like this! Well I am interested in HT however I am skeptical of some of the results and Drs. I came across the Bosley website and infomercials. I also read some comments people made of them like the one Dakota made referring to them as the "Bosley Blunder". I am looking for a reputable Dr. with real results. How do I go about this? And are the Bosley Drs. all a scam and marketing? Or can some be legit? Can anyone help? I am interested in the surgery but just don't want to have to do the procedure more than once because a dr. messed up! I am 33 years old from New Jersey. So can someone help with great drs. in the new jersey and new york area?

THanks

Hello, my first post here - to give some sincere thanks for your independence - i.e., not being in the pocket for any particular doctor or group of them.

I've been looking into HT for a couple years now and it has become evident that a whole lot of hair-loss-related forums are apparent publicity forums for particular doctors/clinics. Not that there's anything inherently devious about publicizing one's practice, but given the seriousness of the decision involving any surgery, I found many of those sites wanting in objectivity.

I sympathize with your being dragged into a lawsuit by the curiously-sensitive Armani chain and I trust you and this site will emerge victorious (and pumped for a countersuit if it's warranted) - but on the bright side that suit is your badge of legitimacy, IMO. I now know one doctor whom I can safely, decisively pass over, so I guess we should offer muted thanks to the diligent Armani legal team for lending some inadvertent advice...

At any rate, thanks to this site and some consistent feedback I've read here and there, I think I've settled on a doctor who appears to be a good intersection of skill, cost, location and positive patient feedback, but since I still have good coverage and want to avoid using financing I will be holding off for a year or so.

So thank you for your independence, and keep up the good work.
