Here are some pics of some recently applied nanogen; the results are completely typical, and, in fact, I didn't even really tweak the application like I normally do for touch-ups. I also did not use any dermmatch prior, which can be utilized for maximum thickness and ability to style.

I will post some "pre-ops", as well, as brutal as they may be, but I'm going out tonight, so alas I must venture out nano'ed up. But, can check out some my pre-HT pics on my weblog until I get around to posting some mug shots w/o concealer.

Is Nanogen a hair shaft thickener? What is the best way to thicken hair 8 months postop in the hairline area?

would have been a lot more helpful if you would have shown your hair without concealers...on a side night you look like u have no balding at allw with it on.

Some pre-concealer pics would be great for a true comparison. Not quite sure how much growth you have right now, but looks like a good head of hair from here.

How long does the recipient hair have to be for nanogen to be effective? I have stubble right now and not sure if it would work for me.

Good to hear that you are living life, have fun tonight!

Here are some pre-concealer pics (in addition to those in my weblog):

**I will post all 4, though only 2 really show the true flavor of my losses; the others might give some additional perspective, though.

its752 -- Nanogen is basically a keratin fiber(s)....the explanation that I use, which may or may not be totally accurate, is that by latching onto your hair shafts, it is as if you are exponentially increasing your hair count. As for the best way to thicken hair 8months post-op, a 1-2 punch of dermmatch followed by nanogen is by far the best, IMO.

Repo -- the recipient area as to be longer for the nano, than for say dermmatch, as far as I am concerned. With stubble dermmatch would be your best bet; however, your hair doesn't have to be that long for nano to work....say ~1 inch, I'd guesstimate.

Without thy ol' faithful Nanogen I am but a miserly balding bozo, seeping through the cracked pavement of life in a state of hermetic angst.

With the Nanogen -- let alone Nano + Dermmatch -- it is like snorting a bowling lane worth of coke, from what people tell me....
