David from NY calls to talk about his first hair transplant when he was a NW2 and 22 years of age. Three years later he’s happy but had a consultation for a second procedure “just to add density”.

22 year old caller from London has minor recession and after 8 months of research decided to try finasteride. He continues by telling about his first few weeks of use without any side effects. However, into the second month he feels he did have some sexual side effects compounded with early signs of gynocomastia. His side effects disappeared after he stopped using finasteride. He finally asks if there is any point in committing to minoxidil given his finasteride experience.
