forgot to mention aloe vera.. i use 99.9 percent aloe vera gel the odd time to deal with redness, has a soothing effect.. best put in on at night time after u apply rogaine (make sure rogaine drys in first, around 15 to 30 mins).. the reason being it can leave a flaky film so have ur shower in the mornin, all good!

hi i had redness up to 5 months, somedays more than others but it never bothered me.. i used johnsons baby shampoo as recommended by my doc and to wash my hair with the palms of my hands for the first few months, i.e not to harsh! u dont need to wash ur hair everday when applying rogaine to get results. keep ur head clean tho.. i use nizoral twice a week and a mild shampoo in between.. my tip on reducing redness is not to scrub when washing but to massage with a mild shampoo.. ive ur getting flaky from the rogaine use nizoral or revita couple of times a week.

hey mrkneed just wondering did u notice much difference from month 7 to 9?

no need to ask my doc.. this site is all the info ill ever need!

there is.. bottom right of ur post there are 3 icons..the one in the middle

the following was posted by Mrjb .. i remembering reading this when i was in the hotel after my HT and it cheered me up and gave me the boost i needed.. Month 1 - Question? What did I do? This hurts! Month 2 - What's going on? Are these things normal to happen? Month 3 - Impatience/doubt?(no growth & scar concern) Month 4 - More impatience/doubt. This didn't work Month 5 - Frustration (looking in mirror every hour) Month 6 - Hope! I see something (scar fading) Month 7 - Elation! Growth and small results, hair is coarse but it's HAIR! Month 8 - Happiness & compliments (people notice)Scar fading Month 9 - More people notice. You have a new hairstyle! Month 10 - God I should have done this sooner!!! Month 11 - I want another!! Month 12 - WOW, what a difference (#2 is scheduled) Month 13-14 - It's soo natural and full im 7 months on now and everythings movin up there, haha.. every bought my first hair brush in 17 years! congrats on the HT

i would have gotten more but they said my donor site was not very good so i dont think i can get a second.. im just hoping that it will fill out a bit more over the next few months and ill let dermatch do the rest!

haha,, i was lookin for that post for the last few few weeks.. yesterday i posted for help in searching for it and found it!! where were u when i needed u man!!haha.. its a great monthly mood chart i have 2 say

happy belated birthday.. thanx 4 all ur help!

when i said im happy but its a little thin what i ment was im happy coz theres nice growth and i can also see little tiny white hairs stattered around so im kinda expecting them to thicken over the next few months.. hopefully!!! ha!

haha, classic!im enjoyin my lasercomb now and im going to give it my best shot,, question for u.. it takes15 to 20 mins session 2 cover the head twice with the lasercomb but just doing the top is were i need help so couldnt i just do that bit? it would only take between 5 and 10 mins.. what u think?

hey chucky, i posted some pics in the photo forum

i cant find a before pic at mo as my laptop in for repair.. i got 2200 to the front of my head in dhi ireland in late june 2007

i had 2200 hairs to the front of my head.. redness started to fade between month 1 and 2.. didnt totally fade until month 5 but nobody commented on it.. if they did i was going to say it was from a different soap!

i bought one around 5 months ago, used it for a week and got bored of it.. its boring brushin ur head when u have no hair.. im 7 months post ht and my hair is startin to look good and ive started using as of yesterday.. from my own research it works on some and not on other and the results wont be spectacular but i do believe it will thicken and add volume to my hair.. anyway im mad into brushin my new hair at the mo so im deffo going to give the lasercomb my best shot, haha.. i came across a video on youtube of a six month journey of a few guys, each on a different hair restoration quest.. guy on lasercomb got thumbs up form the doc.. the show is american so maybe uve seen it (im from ireland).. it was posted a year ago at the six month stage.. they said at the end of theyd check back at the 12 month stage to check further progress but this is not on youtube! if anyones seen it could u summarize it for me in a reply? cheers! anyway check the doc on ( if ive broken a rule by posting a link to another site i apologise)

thanx for ur help fixing it, i found it.. ive copied it here.. im at month 7 and everything said has been real so far, haha! Month 1 - Question? What did I do? This hurts! Month 2 - What's going on? Are these things normal to happen? Month 3 - Impatience/doubt?(no growth & scar concern) Month 4 - More impatience/doubt. This didn't work Month 5 - Frustration (looking in mirror every hour) Month 6 - Hope! I see something (scar fading) Month 7 - Elation!

Month 11 - I want another!! Month 12 - WOW, what a difference (#2 is scheduled) Month 13-14 - It's soo natural and full

i read a post here early last year, im tryin to find it again but with no luck.. basically it was a chart of your appearance monthly after a HT.. it was writen in a amusing fashion and accurate 2(judging from the replies).. id like to read it again, any help welcome.. cheers!

hi im at month 7 post HT.. got 2200 grafts from DHI in ireland.. looking at my results so far im impressed, stil a bit thin tho.. i no that over the next 5 months it will get better, my question is tho from month 7 to 12 will there be double to what i see now or do i have most of my new hair? maybe i have all my hair but some is to fine to see yet??? help please before i confuse myself haha! thanx in advance!

just bought nizoral on on the leaflet in the box lists side effects and i quote.'hair loss has been reported rarely with nizoral dandruff shampoo, but this may have been related to the dandruff and seborrheoeic dermatitis'. i noticed a lot of people on this site use this product to help with their hairloss.. way would a product that helps with hair loss warn people that it might contribute to it? weird!

can u leave dermatch on for a couple of days and put rogaine on as normal? i was told that if im using rogaine that i have to wash it off everytime to apply rogaine.. any truth in this? thanx in advance for response

it has worked for me, mostly noticable is my face is more toned.. didnt do a great job on my chin tho,, might need another session,, my mates got his face and stomach done 2 weeks ago,, ill fill ya in in a few weeks if he got results

galboon,,ive had one done with dhi in ireland, if u want send me ur email and ill send u my phone number and ill be glad to talk 2 u

be happy, more than happy to update u guys,, still awaitin delivery.. only thing is i just started rogaine 2 months ago and had a ht 1 month ago,, itl be very hard for me to see whats doing what... when i decided to buy the laser comb all i whated it for is to thicken my new hair.. fingers crossed eh! ill keep a photo dairy no probs!
