Regular Member mm Posted February 16, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have been told that shock loss does not occur until month 2 or so. I had an HT and I noticed considerable hair fall out from day 1. Is this something different or was I just incorrectly informed about the timing of shock loss. Also, isn't propecia the best weapon against shock loss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bro66 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I had shock loss around the donar strip area during the second week. I'm just past two months and I haven't had any shock loss in the recipient area. The transplanted hairs fell out around the same time the scabs fell off.

Senior Member Beefy Posted February 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2006 The best way to combat shock loss would be to start taking propecia a month before surgery. I am not a big fan of propecia but I think it is one of the only drugs that would help shock loss. 1045 FUT "hairline" with Dr Feller on Nov 05 825 "hairline" with Dr Loria "saw so so results" on Jan 01 MHR 325 "hairline" micro/mini 's 1999 "big mistake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Island Girl Posted February 17, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2006 Reply mm I noticed a considerable amount of shock loss beginning around week 2. Everyone tells me that it WILL come back, but will take anywhere from 2-4 months to show it self again. Meanwhile, I am praying to the Hair Gods....

Senior Member hairworthy Posted February 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2006 Originally posted by mm:I have been told that shock loss does not occur until month 2 or so. Sounds like BS to me. Although it largely depends on individuals, I had the same experience as you and bro. All the shock loss (mostly in the donor area) happened DURING the first 3 weeks. 3045 FUs with Dr Victor Hasson on 8 June 2004 1836 FUs with Dr Jeffrey Epstein on 2 March 2006 Regimen: 1.25mg Proscar every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 18, 2006 I have noticed little, if any shock loss, thus far (16 days post op). 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ. As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun shall shine And the grass will grow Let me listen, I will learn to speak The old language Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies And fall apart from the world of machines Regain my feet and my pounding heart My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
