Hello Tommy,
I just looked at your Hair Loss Weblog, congratulations! You picked a first rate specialist and you will be very happy, so far it looks excellent. In my first HT I kept the donor closure dry not knowing any better, that was before I even knew about this Forum, it healed fine. For my second HT I tried to go both ways, keeping it wet half the time and it healed just fine as well. This time, for my third HT I went with what was most convenient, dry most of the time, even delaying the first shower by 2 days to give my skin time to heal after the trauma. From experience I seem to heal really well this way and today I could not really see the donor scar at all although the hair is still shorter in this area, so I think it might work slightly better in my personal case but I remember reading here that most Dr.'s recommend keeping the donor site covered with the antibiotic ointment and the recipient site wet with copper peptides sprays and so forth, I just never did any of this.

hey there,

thanks man for the look at my weblog, my first HT so a little nervous. I have never heard of Siporin, but his work on you looks fantastic. I will probably want a 2nd go in a year or so, like the idea that you didn't have to shave down and intersted in what you say about minimizing the shedding. You didn't look like you had anything down after 10 days, thats amazing, where is Siporin located?

I am posting my 3 week photos tomorrow, no shedding or any amount up to this point. I did start rogaine early and increased my propecia regime, so hoping that may help minimize the shed. Rahal also never suggested anything on the donor scar, just showering twice daily and it healed very early, there is no scabbing and clean scar after about ten days, so I agree with you on keeping it dry. We all hope for great and quick healing etc, growth, just would love to be in your boat, again looks excellent, hope all continues to go well, thanks for the prompt response and we'll be in touch,

tommy

We all know that the hardest part is the wait... That said, Dr. Siporin is located in LA, he does not require shaving the recipient site. I don't think increasing the intake of Finasteride (Propecia/Proscar) will help. Happy growing.

Bill/Bill thank you for your recent comment in my Hair Loss Weblog, I did not add new pictures because things do not really look different from the previous pictures, yet! I was thinking to post new pictures when I reach 3 months, around early December, to show the donor scar healing well and maybe some new sprouts coming in.
All the best,
HK500
