Senior Member MusoInOz Posted February 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2015 To further what Rob is saying, the follicles can actually grow even slower post Op, they are still dealing with being shocked and relocated. My hair grows extremely fast however for the initial six months post although coverage from my procedure was great, the hair was not as long as usual. There is usually a section common for most that grows slower than others, my right side took longer in this case, don't let this stress you out mate!

Regular Member zx_toth Posted March 7, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 Here is my month 5 pics, things continue to progress and only thing a bit lacking is the hair in the middle needs to get thicker and more of the little hairs need to come in as there is a ton of new small hairs coming thru. Hey ftbpicks, Looking forward to your 6 month pics in 10 days time :-) as that is really where people have had some serious growth. Of course you have already had serious growth but nice to see at the half way mark what to expect from Dr. Rahal FUE work. Thanks and happy growing! Have my procedure in a month + 3 days!

Regular Member RobertHa Posted March 9, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi ftbpicks, zx_toth is correct! Months 6-7 is a 'sweet spot' and you'll see aggressive hair growth.

Regular Member zx_toth Posted March 22, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2015 Looks fantastic ftbpicks! It makes me more relaxed about my procedure on April 10th, seeing someone with Dr. Rahal, FUE and same number of grafts with a great result already at the half way mark. Thanks for your continuing posts. Quick question; are you planning on continuing your Proscar and Rogaine regimen indefinitely or only during the growth period Thanks.

Regular Member TMM Posted March 22, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2015 Looks really, really good. I had FUE with Rahal early Feburary and I'm also wondering if you plan to continue the minoxidil past the 1 year mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your continuing posts. Quick question; are you planning on continuing your Proscar and Rogaine regimen indefinitely or only during the growth period Thanks. Yeah i will continue with my small amount of proscar (1/8th of a pill) but probably only use the rogaine once a day to maintain after the one year mark. I would worry too much about further loss without these measures so the small amount of these drugs makes me feel a bit more safe for the future. I also think it has thickened up my midscalp over the last year and a half as that is when I first started taking proscar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
