Conscious and Deep Sedation in Outpatient Dermatologic Surgery

Concerns about hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil not being administered during a coma. Dutasteride remains in the system longer, and hair loss may not be immediate if treatment stops temporarily.

Finasteride can cause dry eyes and vision issues due to its impact on the meibomian glands. Users have mixed experiences, with some experiencing eye discomfort and others having no side effects.

A person shared their positive experience with a hair transplant at Sule Hair Transplant in Istanbul, performed by Dr. Selahattin Tulunay using the Hybrid FUE technique with 5,000 grafts, costing €2,990. The user reported significant hair growth and satisfaction at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery, without using finasteride or minoxidil, but faced skepticism from others about the authenticity of their post.

Stopping finasteride and minoxidil during a hospital stay led to significant hair loss. Resuming the treatment is expected to restore hair growth.

A user shared their experience with a hair transplant, emphasizing the importance of avoiding caffeine 7 days before the procedure. Ignoring this advice led to reduced effectiveness of the numbing agent, causing significant discomfort during the transplant.

Androsterone may help with sexual and affective dysfunction from finasteride by replacing disrupted neurosteroids without increasing androgenic side effects. Controlled testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
