I began to develop the typical Norwood 2 A MPB in my early fifties. I also began HGH anti-aging therapy with my doctor's care when I was 54 YO. Some of my hair actually began to grow back, but ultimately I decided on a HT to adequately restore my lost hairline.

I personally view HT's as both a cosmetic procedure as well as an effective anti-aging therapy in that your appearance after the HT rolls back the visual clock 10-15 years.

I had my first HT in January, 2011 (2378 grafts) by a Bosley doctor in Denver who I regard as being very skilled. I know Bosley is held in general disdain by many on this site & it is unfortunate that they have had miserable results from Bosley docs. Fortunately my experience was positive and I went back for a second HT (to add density to my eyebrows, temples, and front hairline utilizing 1780 grafts) on April 11, 2012. At this writing I am almost 3 months post HT and quite pleased with my results so far.

I am very involved in anti-aging therapies as evidenced by my 4 year usage of doctor prescribed HGH injections, bio-identical testosterone supplementation, extensive anti-oxidant consumption, and most recently began TA-65 therapy on June 1, 2012 after having extensive blood lab work conducted to measure both my telomere length baseline and also my entire endocrine & body systems measurements.

Having Norwood 2a MPB made me look 10-15 years older than I would otherwise have looked. I started to develop some self-consciousness about the way my particular pattern looked, with a strange v-shape of hair in the very front that could not be disguised with any type of hair style so I decided to do something about it.

HT's

Yes, the first HT I held back on the total # of grafts (2378 total, but I definitely needed way more for optimum density) to see what kind of result I would obtain. After having seen the results I decided to have a second HT this April, 2012 & had an additional 1780 grafts implanted into my eyebrows, temples & frontal hairline.

HT's

Gave me back my more youthful appearance. Men & women estimate that I am in my early forties, not ever guessing I am actually 58 yo! I feel more confident about my appearance & that helps me in my personal life as well as my business career.

Don't be afraid to try novel approaches to improving your life, whether it be a HT, bio-identical hormone replacement, a proper exercise & nutritional program, or any manner of self improvement. This is YOUR LIFE, so make the most of it!
