The Hair Transplant Network is the only community that hosts a regularly scheduled Live Help/Chat session for discussion forum members.

Hair loss sufferers and hair restoration physicians alike have been drawn from all over to participate.

I strongly encourage any guest or member reading this to join the party on Tuesday nights at 10:00pm Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5:00). There is no better opportunity on the web to receive instant answers to your hair restoration questions by experienced veterans and medical professionals!

More information about how to use live chat and/or register in our community can be found on this sticky thread.

Hey Falc, congrats, the live chat looks to be working well and I enjoy reading the highlights. However the time prevents most of the UK & Europe guys from joining in as its +5hrs, so 3am GMT.

Perhaps you could gauge the response for a slightly earlier time that could allow more members to join in?

gazza,

Thanks for your positive feedback and I'm sorry you aren't able to join us due to the time difference.

At some point I may consider changing it - but for now, it will probably remain at 10:00pm EST for now. We could consider having two sessions of different times at some point as well.

Best wishes,

Falc
