LOL that is like me staying away from food and air. Besides how do you guys apply your rogaine well without a mirror?

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm very optimistic for the future months but I also want to be honest and say sometimes the pics give a fuller look than my own mirror in real life.

Wantego,

Looking really good for 3 months! Are you using Rogaine? You seem to have really early growth, which is great.

Wantego,

You look great for only 3 months.

I do have to say that I'm starting to notice a trend. It appears that most of Dr. Rahal's patients begin to sprout early and often have significant growth by 3 or 4 months. I wonder why?

Perhaps Dr. Rahal can share the reasons for this trend on our forum.

Things are only going to get better for you my friend. Hang on - it's all downhill from here

Best wishes,

Bill

I've noticed this trend, as well. My only answer is a vauge one -- that the really sweet early growth is often a basic "symptom" (and prognosticator) of what will be an "exceptional result". By exceptional I mean that the HT will produce a look of truly robust density, acquired by some combination of #grafts/area + hair charachteristics, but moreso the former criteria.

Not all HTs are destined to be "exceptional", though that doesn't mean that they can't all be perfectly fitting and excellent; likewise, not being an "early grower" (i.e. the #grafts/area and hair caliber aside, you simply sprout quicker by nature of your physiology) doesn't mean you can't get an "exceptional result".

nice results so far. you kind of remind me of me: hair quality, early growth, and unfortunately persistent redness in the recipient area. I was prescribed tetracycline which really did the trick so you may want to contact Dr. Rahal about a remedy if it bugs you
