The only evidence I could find of this treatment being used elsewhere is in this paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22686691). Thanks I will look into it!

Although I read about how the majority of people shed the transplanted hairs, I like everyone else was hoping I was one the lucky ones who didn't! Attached both transplant and donor pics below. any update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member lift24 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi, I've been meaning to give an update just been a real busy time moving jobs/house! The picture attached is at 2 months and 1 week, I feel like I might be slightly lagging behind people at the same point in time but I'm keen to hear what you guys think. I've been told this month and the next the growth should start to accelerate. Also sometimes I notice dead skin in my recipient area and when I rub it (gently) away in the shower a hair or two may go with it. Has anyone else experienced this? Currently wash my hair 3 times a week if that info helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Lyubo93 Posted September 1, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Looks very nice, but want to ask you something, hope it's not a problem. Are the hairs on your neck from the oral Minoxidil? I plan to start regimen with fin and something more, and the oral minoxidil is not a bad idea, but I am worried I will get to much hair on the rest of my body.

Hi, The oral minoxidil definitely led to more body hair, but I was always a pretty hairy guy (except for my head of course ). I'd say the difference is noticeable but not insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member lift24 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hey guys, sorry for the slow updates.

Senior Member keysersoze Posted October 2, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2019 Seems pretty normal and start expecting things to happen. Your day 8 pics are insane. Mine never looked like that, as in just like native density which worries me a lot. But I'd say for you just a matter of a little bit more time.

The Doctor said my donor hairs were very thick and I think the minoxidil helped with that. Researchess suggest oral minoxidil in the range 2.5/5 mg daily. Why are you going so high? Any doctor prescribed you 10mg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member lift24 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Hey guys sorry for the long delay between updates, here are some photos at the 7.5 month mark. Although I’m definitely in a better position then when I started I feel the front of the hairline is at a weaker spot then others at a similar month post op. I’ve attached some pictures with different harshness of light variations, let me know what you think. Edited February 7, 2020 by lift24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
