DON'T DO IT ! I have had 3 they told me I would only need 2 and its still not perfect, good but not perfect. It's not the results I upset about it's that I can already tell in a couple more years I am going to need another one. I will probably have 4 before I am 40 years old. The rogaine, propecia, transplants its a real pain in the ass and the wallet. Just know that if you do one you are going to have a MASSIVE scar from ear to ear and if you ever want to shave your head and just be bald there is going to be a that scar and the questions as to why you have it. If I get my hair cut with a number 4 or smaller with the clippers you can see the scar. I totally regret it. If you have any questions feel free to email me I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TALKED ME OUT OF IT I was 31 when I got the first one not realizing what an uphill battle this was going to be don't just think of the now like I did. Think 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40 years down the road because thats how long you will be fighting it.
