I would not go off Dut.

I can only speak from my personal experience from duta. Based strictly on what *I* experienced, this is absolutely not true. My hair was falling out all over. The hairs on the side and back of my head which are *not* subject to DHT were falling out just as quickly as the hair on top and front of my head. I could very lightly pull on the sides and back of my head where transplanted hairs are removed, and a lot of hair would come off in my hands. Even my beard hair was becoming very thin which is normally quite thick and coarse.

Again, this is only from my personal experience, but this is not what happened to me. I quit and continued to shed for about 5 weeks. Duta stays in your system for a long time. After about 5 weeks, the shedding started to slow then stopped roughly 2 months after I stopped. About 3-4 months later, the hair I lost on duta started to come back. I probably regained 95% of what I lost but it took several months.

Again, it's up to you to make your own decisions on this. But for what it's worth, if someone offered me $50,000 tax free cash to get back on duta for one year, I would turn it down.

hi im going through the exact same thing as you but not quite as bad just yet im hopring, basicly i have alot of those bumps in my hairline from the tool they used to make the holes to place the grafts, and mine also look ugly under bright light. when i emailed the armani clinic they just told me it was the monixidol and it will go and i replied saying im not stupid and i know when i have scaring and that it was not the monixidol all they told was to wait and that it would improve witch it did a bit like all scars do, anyways back to the original topic my hairtransplant looked far better at 6 months like yours did at 3 than it does now at 10 months basicly it looked allot lot thicker and just better at the 6 month stage then gradualy over the past 3 months it began looking thin and is the same as how you describe your hairline the hairs getting gappy and thinning out on the hairline and thinning out just behind the hairline, the thing that got my attention from reading your posts were that you got a reponce from the clinic telling you to use betaderm, well the armani clinic gave me betaderm post op and i know you said you didnt want to menstion the docs name but please tell me if it was armani or not becuase if it is then there is 3 of us now all going through this so called shedding phase which is woring us all me you and scopion. if you realy insist on not saying the docs name please private message me with the answer and i wont mention it puplicly, how much worse has the shed got since the camping to todays date? and have you noticed any of the areas getting better, also my head is realy itchy at present as i am going through this stage and nothing seems to be helping it, are you going through anything similar, i have recently gone back to a ragiem of wasing moisterising scalp etc. to try and stop all this i have started taking more MSM and vitamin C Zinc. and including Flaxseed/Linseed in my diet for the Omega 3 benifits which i have always found to make my hair thicker and more healthy, i only started doing all this a couple days now so i will let you know if it improved my shed, do your transplanted hairs that are shedding, minimize first before shedding, what i meen by this is do they get thinner and go lighter before they are falling or are they comeing out at the same thickness all the way along the hair? damm what a long post im guessing i way have blabed on and may have repeated myself a little but i cant be botherd to read it back lol

Severn I hope you read this.

I want to thank everyone who responded with imperitive imformation and insight, especially severn. You guys were right. My hairs shedded ARE starting to grow back! THe only thing I did differently severn, was I didn't stop using the dut. I continued because for some reason i had hope that it was just a shed and regrowth will follow. For 3 months as you know my hair was murdered and stabbed to death. THen the shed slowed down, then it halted for about a month, and now I see a lot of regrowth terminal hairs and my hair is exceptionally thicker. Thanks everyone. This site rocks.

Hey Eistein,

Glad to hear things are looking up.

Can you be sure the new hair grow is the shedded hairs you were so concerned about and not new transplant growth?

Thanks man. I thought about that Maxxy, but it's just too many hairs growing in at one time. And not only in the transplanted area (only in front) but all over the top of my scalp. I'm 8.5mnths post-op. Ofcourse, there may be some hairs growing in which may be the new hairs post transplant, but if they are they're growing in in conjunction with my shedded hairs too.

That's good

Do you feel the Dut has actually grew some new hair or do you feel you are just getting back the shedded hairs?

Only time will tell. But prior to the shed, dut did regrow new hairs on my crown and vertex. So if even they regrow, it will still be considered regrowing my shedded hairs along wit new hairs. But time will confirm this.
