      Super dry and rough skin after post HT wash

      By Ramin · Posted

      Hi, I’ve done the HT surgery exactly last week and today I washed my hair for 4th time, but the shampoo i used makes my scalp super dry and my heir becomes as rough as I can’t touch it and it bothers me so much specially in donor area! Also when I used saline Solution it start getting hot and burning! Do you guys have any recommendations for make it better? I can’t handle it anymore!

      Why did my transplant fail? I don’t get it and it just really sucks.

      By Hair-here · Posted

      It’s been about 20 months since my hair transplant.  3000 grafts with one of the top frequently recommended docs. Well over $10k spent.   And it just didn’t yield well. It’s patchy and just not what I expected at all.  I don’t get it.  I know there’s no guarantees in surgery but it just really sucks to go through all that for such a disappointing result. My surgery seemed to go smooth.  I didn’t bump my head. I stayed 4 days after just for careful head washes by the staff.  I made it past the initial 14 days and thought my grafts were in for good and the wait began. i probably am the kind of case where I should have skipped surgery- a NW 6/7 in my 40s who wasn’t on any meds or any hair regimen at all really.  I was realistic though and went in with low expectations, knowing 3000 grafts would give me back a hairline and some density in my front third only and leave a bald crown.  I just wanted to keep buzzing my hair and the new hair would erase the dreaded horseshoe even if I was still left with a donut.  I thought any new hair would be better- balding is still better than bald, right? Us advanced NWs have a different view of hair. I just wanted to see a hairline again even if a mature pushed back one.   I gave Finasteride another shot after my surgery, even though my previous attempt 15 years earlier (when I still had a nice head of hair) gave me some mild but unpleasant side effects.   I just don’t know what went wrong. My doctor had no explanation either but fully agreed it did not turn out well.      My mind has gone to a number of things but none seem likely:   Did the large whitehead pimples in the months after surgery hurt my growth?   My doctor had a very laid back after care and my grafts were very stiff and brittle feeling for weeks after whereas I know some docs like you to keep the grafts moist with spray for days after.   My donor isn’t looking so great either. I like to keep it buzzed down and had always planned to do that even after surgery. Probably SMP would have been suggested for my situation but I really wanted some real hair.  I was totally ok to keep looking like your average  balding (but not bald) mature Dad,    I just don’t get why it failed. It’s frustrating.  I’ve recently consulted with the top advanced NW docs and plan to give it another shot though.    To those who have had poor yields, any idea why?   My pics show 18 months after surgery and a week after surgery. No pic but before surgery, I was pretty slick bald on top.

      By HairlessTexan · Posted

      Hello!    Does anybody have experience with RenewU in Bogota? This is what they sent me when I asked details on their history:    RenewU has started doing hair transplant since last November, but our associate doctors have been performing hair transplants more than 10 years ago and more than 2,000 patients. Our mission is basically to be a USA patient focused brand for the Pulido Brothers. https://www.renewu.club/?fbclid=PAAaZr_XXvawHG-DLZ7qRhtKeLqv-QsmJ_5BLwhRYtJ3gZwNel614I9JD_BVU_aem_AVSk5HNpRhwC5_4uK-yzUby2g6VY3qbu93v4gKukfe77FgiCyG0HQyu3qlYsaa4dsYM
