			<description>&#60;p&#62;I am pretty sure the rule is to use sunblock (like spf 30 or greater) and no direct sun or sunlamp without protection.  I believe a few folks have said some tanning sprays work really well.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi Guys,&#60;br /&#62;my name's Massimiliano and am an Italian guy.&#60;br /&#62;I did  my 3rd MHT treatment in March 2012. &#60;br /&#62;Summer is coming and I want to know how I can sunbathe. Can I use a suntan on my scalp? Can I do any sunlamp?&#60;br /&#62;Thank you in advanced.&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;div&#62;My plan is to only tell the people who can benefit from the treatment itself, for their own good. In regards to you, keep it to yourself until you get the treatment done, then do what comes natural. Trust me, if you have to &#34;EXPLAIN WHY&#34; you want to get this done, then who ever your talking too, will never understand. &#60;/div&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;@Carlito yea I know what you mean. But, I kind of prefer less people knowing about the procedure rather than it be plastered all over TV like those HT ads on ESPN playing every hour.  The less people that know, the less likely someone will know you had something done, you know?  Thats just my opinion, that's why I'm liking the discrete style of marketing HIS is doing and I hope it stays that way. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;@Conhair I'm real happy for you man.  I can only imagine how you feel right now.  I was looking over you're diary--its looks great, what NW level were at to begin with ? And how about you're brother?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I'm another case of non supportive people around me. Told my mum and she said &#34;you just had a high forehead&#34; whatever mum haha. Also the, &#34;you're so vain&#34; card has been played a few times. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As has been said above, happier being called vain and happy than miserable and bald.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Been a while since I've added to my progress diary. Third treatment is getting done later on today and will be getting pictures up soon after. Hopefully this will be the last time I need to go back for now!&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;I feel your pain dog, and believe me everyone on this forum has been there or gone through it as well. I think that's why its so important to continue to read and express how you feel when you really start harping on the date of freedom. I know it helps me. Yo, I can't just be the only one that does this, but I can't help it but every time I see someone one the street or TV with a short haircut I always wonder if they have had this procedure done or not. Then I see guys that are balding and wonder would they be interested in hearing about the HIS co. I know I would of listened if someone had brought it up to my attention back in the day.&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi guys&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Going for my third treatment tomorrow (well technically today due to the early hours of the morning) and I am also 23. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Skins, with regards to women and balding, there are a lot of shallow girls out there. As soon as you get the treatment done, that will be a thing of the past and you'll definitely thrive on a new found confidence; its the case with me. For some reason my head now gets more attention and girls seem to like touching it in clubs haha (in the best possible way though).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You will find that the time will fly by, and you'll be getting it in no time. My brother's going through what you are at the moment with constant hat wearing and he'll be getting it pretty soon also due to seeing the results so far.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Good luck guys&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;haha you got that right. Unfortuntley, I have fell alittle into that depression mode and I can't wait til September.  For now I am just trying to stay fit, using Dermatch as best as I can and hoping that day comes alittle faster.  Especially at my age, it really sucks when people think you're pulling their leg when you tell them you're 23 or  when bars don't bother carding you when they take a glance at your head.  Terrible feeling.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Yeah I read your post, you contribute allot. It helps being able to read and reply about common issues we all have and actually never really speak about except with people on this forum. I mean, I was just saying that I never really dwelled too hard on the fact that I was bald because one there was nothing I would be able to do about it and two I didn't want to start like some like of self loathing feeling or like depression yeah know so I just deal with It and accepted it and move on. Now that I know there is a alternative I'm finally free to actually say &#34;BEING BALD FUCKING SUCKS&#34;!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That felt good&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry Damien. lol&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Carlito7, I used to use eyeliner and felt tip pens (purple...?) before I decided on dermmatch, as I felt like buying something designed for hair loss was accepting my fate, and I somehow couldn't bring myself to do that. But black shoe polish never even crossed my mind haha, good show! Up until recently, I've not really thought about MHT since booking my treatment, but getting my week off work confirmed yesterday made me realize that it was actually going to happen. I suppose another month's waiting is nothing considering I pretty much made my mind up about getting MHT last September.

They say the best revenge is living well, so just think about how great your going to feel once you get this done. Man I'm in the same boat as you, I'm scheduled in the NY office mid September and its driving me crazy. It's the waiting not the &#60;span class=&#34;tr-spellcheck-wordid-7 tr-spellcheck-correctionid-2 s-rtetext-misspelled&#34;&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;tr-spellcheck-wordid-7 tr-spellcheck-correctionid-2&#34;&#62;&#60;/span&#62;uncertainty of how it will look&#60;/span&#62; that is getting to me.  I wonder if there is this type of wait at other HIS facilities around the world. I got to give it to you and Fodandahalf, when I was in my late teens and started balding, I knew nothing of these types of consealers they have on the market. Would you &#60;span class=&#34;tr-spellcheck-wordid-4 tr-spellcheck-correctionid-5 s-rtetext-misspelled&#34;&#62;&#60;span class=&#34;tr-spellcheck-wordid-4 tr-spellcheck-correctionid-5&#34;&#62;&#60;/span&#62;believe&#60;/span&#62; I used black shoe polish on the regular for like four years, until I just cut it all off.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Well you do sound a lot more active than me. My life consists of eating, sleeping and going to work. I'm planning on joining a gym/ getting out more during the day once my treatment is finished; it's really going to improve my life in a number of ways. Good timing really as I was quite chubby as a kid and lost my weight through growth spurts, but I can see it making a slight comeback around the stomach area.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;div&#62;Hey Chris &#60;/div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;div&#62;Welcome to the fold, I'm a NW7 as well and it sucks.....You know I never really accepted the fact that losing my hair REALLY SUCKED partly because I knew there was nothing I could realistically do about it but shave it off and try and convince myself I was another sexy bald guy like Michael Jordan or Tyson Bedford. Needless to say I'm not that great at basketball and god only knows why my wife agreed to marry me I'm no model. I digress, we make do with what we have and accept it......that was until that one fine day a couple of weeks ago when I stumbled across a YouTube video for HIS. I haven't had the procedure yet but just the hope and overall feelings of expectations of my finial results gives me this new found confidence that I thought I had lost. Thank You for that HIS.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Yea, not going to lie, Damien's post got me going lol.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks for your thoughts.  It's great to hear we can relate in using concealer in that way (I just wished i had more hair like you!)  At a NW 4-5, its pretty hard to pull off a full head of hair with just dermatch.  I always end up applying it in a way that is noticeble in photos (atleast to me) and I always find this out (when its too late) when I am tagged in photos posted on Facebook (hopefully noone else notices).  Like you, noone has said anything though, and most people like the look.  But, I am a really active guy and it always rubs off when I sweat, in the sun for long periods of time, or swimming or just whenever I am out in crowded bars and its get really hot...these situations scare me and I tend to opt out of going out most of the time without a hat.  But, you're words definitely reassured me. Hopefully, I can muster up the strength to relax and not worry about it too much.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Yo Skins, seems like Damien's recent post really worked! &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Absolutely sucks to hear about that girl. Nobody should have to feel like they need to fix their hair loss for any reason other than feeling better about themselves. I feel pretty lucky to be getting this done at 19. I started losing at 14 and still have most of my hair (norwood 3 recession,) so I holding off for any longer makes no sense. I'm lucky in the sense that I've not bothered with having a relationship so far, so I've not had that much to hide. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Using concealers (in a similar fashion to you, replicating a shaved look) has actually given my hair it's best appearance ever, as I've had a terrible hairline my whole life, so I don't think a great shaved look will be as much of a surprise to anybody as it would have been last year. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As for the worries about the dermmatch, for the first few months I felt the same way, I thought, I'll keep using it but I'll stay away from my friends, and try my best to keep quite a few feet at least between me and family members and colleagues etc. It took one night out with my friends to realise that nobody's looking for anything. Dermmatch is great in the sense that it's pretty durable, so as long as you keep the rain away from it, you should be fine. I've had people look at the sides of my head real close up (like when I recently cut it shaving people were looking) and not say a thing. Even once when my dad asked ''what's that stuff you put on your head?'' as he'd caught me applying it once, my mum and sister both looked at my head close up and asked him what he was talking about. I told him I just had a small bald spot from a bad shave and was applying makeup to cover it up for a few days. I do keep mine shaved really close though so there's very little real hair to compare the dermmatch to.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry for the lengthy post by the way!

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi everybody,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry for the lengthy post, but I just thought I would give my 2 cents for people who could relate to me or give me any pointers or words of encouragement as I wait for MHT booked 4 months away (wish it was alot sooner!!)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I've been what you would call a 'lurker' on the forum the past 2 months or so. I actually knew about HIS years ago as I was searching for a hairloss solution back when I first started to lose my hair at 18.  At the time, the &#34;head-tattooing&#34; seemed crazy to me.  But  after learning I would never be a candidate for a HT considering my rapid hairloss, I used tons of concealers and now its getting to the point where I can no longer use most concealers (i.e. toppik) as I simply don't have enough hair left at 23 years old! I would say I am currently a NW 4-5 (closer to 5). &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So, I decided to accept my fate and shave everything off last September.  It looks alright when I use dermatch to add a hairline and fill in my crown (i'm pretty artistic); however, it still shows I am balding and it looks nowhere near as good as many MHT heads do.  Luckily, I have a pretty nice shaped head, so I think MHT will suit me well.  Maybe its because I don't display that same confidence I once had, but I no longer get the looks from the ladies as I once did.  I have actually been &#34;dumped&#34; by a girl who figured out I was balding through my concealers....lol crazy I know.. and it speaks volumes to the type of girl she was, so it was probably for my benefit that it happened.  Basically, she stopped calling and texting me like she always did before, and I asked her friend why and she said because &#34;you're not her type---she knows you're balding&#34;.  This happened at about 20 years of age--and you can imagine how this killed my confidence.  But, I have grown to accept and live with it as best as I could but as some of you know--its really hard.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I definitely do not want MHT for her but for myself.  I just don't act the same way or display the same confidence as I once did and MHT seems like the best option out there to give me back my old self.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Despite accepting my baldness and shaving it all off, I still don't feel quite comfortable going out as I fear the dermatch will fade away or rub off.  I have been basically trying to avoid any event or going out when I can't wear a hat.  It's devastating to my social life and I just can't live my life at such a young age.  I have booked my first two sessions in NYC as soon as there was an opening in late September and it feels like these next 4 months will take forever until it happens but at least its booked and I can look forward to something positive and hopefully life-changing!  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank you everyone for creating such an open forum--reading many of the diaries and posts has given me hope. 
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Yo Chris, great to hear. Hope you don't mind but I did a quick mock up of what u might look like with a shaved head of hair. Your head shape is great, this is a brilliant decision for you.&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;@Derek9  I don't manage to replicate individual follicles with dermmatch, just a shadow, which seems to work. I dry shave the sides up until a certain point and apply the dermmatch over there as it is too light without it, then I apply the dermmatch beyond the hairline. This creates a seamless blend with several layers: &#60;br /&#62;1&#38;gt;buzzed hair, to&#60;br /&#62;2&#38;gt;dry shaved hair and dermmatch, to&#60;br /&#62;3&#38;gt;sparser dry shaved hair and dermmatch, to &#60;br /&#62;4&#38;gt;just dermmatch.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The dermmatch alone seems to break up a little which I suppose creates a more follicular look. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;@Bornreceded  Pm'ed you

			<description>&#60;p&#62;What's up Bizzy, &#60;div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;/div&#62;&#60;div&#62;Nicely done, I'm interested as well to see more examples of MHT on dark skinned clients.  During the consultation, the practitioner explained to me that my skin complexion would work well with this procedure.  I felt he was being genuine and not just trying to sale me a bit of goods. I am 35 as well and would say sort of a carmel color and interested in a sharp hair line in the front along with little to some form of evidence of reseeding.  But what am I talking about, beaggers can't be choosers right, to be honest I just want my hairline back ya know. Lol&#60;/div&#62;&#60;div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;/div&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi Everyone, After Damien called all the non-speakers to action I thought i'd pipe up and introduce myself. My name's Chris, i'm 30 and from Manchester. I started losing my hair and 20 and its progressed to about a NW7 I think, its bad anyway, I grow sort of wispy hair over the top of it but i'm kidding noone.  I went down and saw Ian in Birmingham and today I went into the Manchester clinic and did a bit of filming for the &#34;before&#34; stage for a youtube video for HIS, always nice to have a video camera and a very bright light panning round a close-up of your head haha. Anyway, if my boss lets me have the 31st off work i'm gona have my first treatment then, if she doesn't i'll have to wait a while, which i dont wana do so fingers crossed I can persuade her tomorrow! Anyway, lets get rid of this combover... so every time I step outside I dont have to look like Bobby Charlton in a wind-tunnel. Thanks to everyone who does post on here, its been really helpful to read, look at pictures and understand more.  I'll no doubt put more pictures and stuff up as we go through the process, but for now, greetings, hope you're all well, and if you've not given these guys a call yet, do it.&#60;br /&#62;[attachment=20873,2328]

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Actually, one company has announced big hair growth figures for people with thinning / miniturizing hairs. That is, they are turning those hairs into terminal hairs (still nothing for slick bald scalps though). This is pretty big news...and is not far away. It will remove fin and minox from the market easily.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;From one injection they achieved an average of 20% hair count increase across I think 24 patients. +- 4%. That was at 3 months. After a year it was upto 72%.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Their phase 2 trial at 3 months is very encouraging. Upto 62% hair count increase, at only 3 months.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This is no scam. Bald folk have endured hype after hype after scam, but there is very good news coming up for younger guys who are just starting to bald, or those who still have diminishing hairs covering their scalps in 2 or 3 years.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Add to that MHT, or whatever......things are progressing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;its slow going for the groups involved with trying to grow NEW hairs from stem cells, but another treatment is very much looking like it will be released.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Over 30,000 members?! Wow. That is mind-blowing. I never would have guessed it was nearly that many.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I honestly cannot imagine why somebody would create an account if they had no intention of posting anything. You can lurk on the forum without being a member.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I think alot of people are afraid of being found out.  We try and act &#34;like a man&#34; and pretend hairloss does not bother us.  But, it really does.  Even though there is no real way for people to know who you are on these forums unless you tell them we still feel like people will find out some kind of way and ridicule you.  I know of a few people in my family that if they found out that I had this treatment and that hairloss really bothered me THAT much then I would NEVER hear the end of it.  &#60;div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;/div&#62;&#60;div&#62;&#60;br /&#62;&#60;/div&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I just have to shake my head whenever I hear about a &#34;new cure&#34; for hair loss that is &#34;just a few years away&#34;. Like Damien said, it doesn't matter whether it is 1982 or 2012...the cure has always supposedly been &#34;just around the corner&#34;. I would certainly not trust a generic magazine as a source of reliable information, either.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Why is there hardly any innovation in the hair restoration industry? I don't know, but I would have to guess that it is because people don't have to come up with anything new in order to make a ton of money off hair loss sufferers. When you think about it, how many bald guys know a single damn thing about hair loss or hair loss cures before they actually spend a shitload of money on something only to find out the hard way that it does not work? There are still millions of guys each year who think that they can just go to Bosley, or even buy a $20 bottle of Rogaine from their local WalMart and cure their hair loss for good. Even though both of these companies have been around for a very long time and have never produced even a marginal amount of fruitful results, there are still tons of people who keep falling for the same old tricks. The truth is, this is the perfect industry for scammers to make a lot of money off of ignorant people, because most of the customers are desperate for a solution, and they know little to nothing about what they are actually buying. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Why would anybody be motivated to spend exorbitant amounts of time and money to do extensive scientific research on a microscopic level in order to find a way to clone hair follicles, when they can easily just go work for Bosley and make a ton of money without putting in hardly any effort at all? Even if somebody were to actually discover a way to clone hair follicles, it would be so expensive that there would be almost nobody who could afford it, and the company or doctor who invented it would soon end up going broke. That is the root of the problem.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I think the best way for a real cure to come out is for people to get educated about hair loss. And the existence of the internet is probably the biggest hope for that. The fact that the information is spreading, and there are many hair loss forums now where people can discuss what does and does not work, is a great asset to people who would otherwise have not known anything and therefore fallen victim to a scam. As the information spreads, there will be fewer and fewer people who buy products or services that do not work, and as the scammer companies become less profitable there will be more motivation for people to create something which actually works. Until then, MHT is the best way to go.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
