Hair transplants. Blackrock Clinic Vs DMI Vs surgeons outside Ireland Vs other option
-
16-06-2015 3:00pm#1Id imagine, like a few on here, the male pattern baldness is starting to get to me and I was wondering who have used what on here and how did it go for you?
Blackrock Clinic: www.hrbr.ie
Perhaps the best known one in Ireland? They certainly did a great job on Louie Walsh but I wont be spending 30 grand with them for those kind of results
DHI: www.dhi.ie
In Ireland Im leaning towards these based on price compared to Blackrock. From some research so far it looks like they are at least half the price.
Surgeons outside Ireland: There's apparently a surgeon in Spain doing work for 10k that would cost 30k here. Anyone? I need to research this more.
Other option: Anywhere else/any other hair loss solutions you've found to have worked?
Not interested in wig solutions like Northwest Lace or Toplace as they dont always look great and it is still a wig regardless if it does.
Not interested in Rogaine as the list of side effects it has is ridiculous and needs monthly top ups.
And not interested in hairloss drugs either such as Propecia because their side effects potential are downright scary. How they are still given out willy nilly is surprising. I dont think we're allowed talk about them here anyway which is good.
So gentlmen, your feedback on the above?

I love how they try to infer low self esteem on you with the adverts
"Going Bald? Feeling like a Loser?"
Just get a buzz cut and shave it off.
I went thin on top aged 19. Was in denial for a few years and just did the above.
I think I would look ridiculous with a thick head of hair now.0 -

Now I know you're trolling!!!!
It does though compared to what it was. Not sure it was worth 50 grand and given how much publicity he gave to the clinic that did it I doubt he payed a single penny of it.
On the contary he almost definitely made money out of it.

I dunno, every time this baldness thing comes up it's guaranteed to be "shave it all off" as advice. And that's cool, but it can age many men overnight and a lot of men simply can't pull off the chrome dome look. They may feel they got the Sean Connery/Jasan Statham/Patrick Steward goin on, but they can be more dodgy potato with ears. Some skull shapes just look odd. Dudes of African extraction are the outliers in this. They win the lottery in skull shapes.This is completely unneccesary for most men, I could imagine some women losing hair could well have more understandable pscychological reasons to do it, but there are still wigs.
The other aspect may be frivolous, but it impacts the whole fashion thing too. Bald means pretty much one "look", not a lot of options going on.
Though one advantage if you go bald very young like around 20 and take a razor to it, the decades will pass with you staying remarkably similar in looks. With blokes having more collagen and thicker skin, we usually age in appearance more slowly than women, so long as we eat well, don't smoke or drink to excess, or we're not tanning ourselves mahogany(unless you're mahogany to start with. African dudes win here too, the bastids). The aforementioned Paddy Stewart is in his 70's IIRC and he looks remarkably similar to how he looked decades ago. I knew a guy who went bald and I mean ring around the back of his head above the ears bald by 18. Yea. Went from a full head of actually thick hair at 16 to almost nothing within a couple of years. Mad fast and he was very troubled by it, but tried to cover up that upset. That said the last time I bumped into him he would have been 40 odd and looked ten years younger, so...
Just my take, but although going cue ball at 20 must be a real heart scald for many men, going bald at 30 I reckon might be harder.
Judging by the amount of forums and spam and lotions and surgery etc out there it does affect many men very deeply. If it does and you can afford treatment to make you feel better I say go for it.
One of my great uncles had a full head of hair and jet black with it(with some grey at the temples) until the day he died at 90 something. This was in the days before the transplant stuff and he did look odd I have to say. Even more odd, his beard was also dark for the most part. He was constantly accused in whispers of dyeing his hair, but nope, it was just the way he was. His beard/stubble hair proved it. That's mad rare mind you. Red hair doesn't appear to be particularly strong, either falling out or going grey early. When I was in my twenties I had a mix of black and red hairs, but mostly black. I got accused of hitting the old clairol myself.I almost feel sorry for auld lads with full heads of hair or no grey hair nowadays -as I guess people might consider them vain thinking they have had work done.
The red fellas went grey early on and started to changeover to old guy by my mid 30's. They also thinned out too. It was only in my early forties the black lads decided to join the party. This was even more noticeable in my beard hair, which was more ginge to start with. Though body hair wise, whether ginge or dark have stayed the same. Though a certain *ahem* area grew a streak of grey, like a Mills and Boon cover hero. Very dashing. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
