Tuscansun, I did find this on the internet. But, i have my doubts from reading other post here - be aware of generics over the internet. And you don't need a prescription...? Maybe confirm with one of the the other posters here. Manufacturer: Cipla & GenP Brand Name: Propecia Exp. Date: Approx.

PGP, I purchased some emu oil. I'll be going into my procedure on the 5th. What day post op did you start using emu oil? I've only heard good things about the stuff..

Hi Steve, Congrats!, It looks great. Very clean. I have a logistics question for you. Are you planning on staying out there until you get the staples out? Just curious..

You begin with the days leading up the HT.. Nervousness!

Steve, Good luck! You're on your way..

Jason, I agree totally with you, "There is always a balance, just as there are patients who possess ALL of the best characteristics and patients who possess very few or none at all." There are advantages and disadvantages of having fine or tick course hair...

NN, I didn't want to say.. But hell I think can point out a good donor away.

Thanks Bill, I wish some Dr's would have chimed in here... I think good Dr's can tell right away if your donor area is great or poor. Never mind graft and hair count. Just looking good DR's can tell...

Spoon, i agree with you, but if your hair is fine vs thick then it would be different. You would need less per cm2 if you had thick hair vs fine hair. So I guess grafts and Hair count don't mater. it comes down to hair thickness and hair per cm2..

Spoon, Are you talking about FUE?

Thanks gazza, I'm going on for my procedure 12/5 and have researched the hell out of the latest techniques. I think i'm just comparing too much. For example i think Glock08 got amazing results from one session of 4300 g's, full head (and doesn't need another session IMO). Then I read here and other hair loss sites people using up like 1500 to 3000 g's for 1 cm lowed of the hair line. That's for 1 cm! I guess it's all up to Doctor? But, still I would like to hear from more posters here, on the capacity of their donor area and their results. Because let's face it when it come to HT it's all about the donor area! Thanks again..

Hi Gazza, I hear what you are saying... I just think this is a good subject. I guess i'm comparing and would think for example Bill would have the maximum grafts ( like a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10) from his pictures. So I'm guessing he must have a good reserve. Niconitro on the other hand must be a mutant. I hope I'm sorted. I have read and think thick dark wiry course hair does you no favors, unless you it's dense.. I even read on hairlosshelp a guy with dark thick wiry hair and good HT ( from H&W) was spotted at his work of having HT work done. I still think it's hard to believe people have used up like 8000 g's. I'm thinking the average person has 5000 G's. Thanks gazza, I just think this is a good subject nobody talks about.

OK Gazza, Let's go with this.. I have color working in favor, light to medium brown. But, I have fine hair, which, I think doesn't, or will need more sessions.. Laxity, I think good. Density good to very good. And I'll mention high sides and high rear (less coverage), which could change. I'm 39 yrs old. So Jo has laxity and he got 8000 + g's. Hair color has nothing to do with his graft count..

Hi, Sorry for the confusion. this is what I mean.. I thought this was interesting.. I'm just quoting from Jotronic's web site... "2.) My donor hair is not the best. According to Mike, on a scale of 1 to 10, my donor hair is about a 3. What I did have in my favor was a very elastic scalp. This would allow more donor area to be removed to get the larger sessions." A 3 on a scale from 1 to 10, and he was able to harvest 8000 g's!

OK, here is the question.. I went in my consultation recently ( and will be having my procedure 12/5), and after reading Jotronic story, I ask on a scale to 1 to 10 - what is my donor area max? the Doctor mentioned 6 or 7. But, Jotronic mentioned his was only a 3.. Jotronic was able to harvest like 8000 g's. and he looks great.. Even on HTN I watched Dr feller (video) and he comments on it's all about the donor area. Obviously this is important in HT's. I know hair characteristics plays a role in this and all. What can I take from this? And, some of the regulars here, like Bill, Pat, Mrjb, NN, etc.. what can you estimate yours is on a scale from 1 to 10? BTW; Nicnito 10000 G's WTF?

Hi, I sure will tell them you said hello. Do they know you by your alias Mrjb or JOBI?

I think that is what I'll be using baby shampoo. grow well

More_hair, I'm going in for my procedure 12/5. I'm reading the booklet they gave me and it says Head and shoulders citrus clean,Neutrogena T-gel or baby shampoo. I hope this helps

Hi Bill, Thanks for the comfort. All I hear is I will be in great hands. And it is comforting to hear this, and I believe it now. And, Dr Dorin seems to be a great guy too as well as Dr True. Me and Dr Dorin will be going over last minute strategy before I go under the knife. So, i think I will have no surprises and he will take in my considerations too. BTW, I've been living on this forum lately, and I can't tell you how much this forum has helped me. You and Pat deserve a lot of credit. P.S; I will tell everybody there you said hello. Do you want to send me a Xmas gift to give to them? It could help my results.

Thanks Steve, I've read your all your thoughtful post. I can tell you thought this one through. And, I can tell you are a class act. I hear you.. The closer the date comes, believe or not I feel more ready and can't wait. More so to get it over with, I guess. But, i think it has to do with looking toward the future, like summertime. I hear you with the water park, I live on the ocean in MA. I can tell you it sucks wearing a hat to the beach, in and out of the water. Anyway i'll be posting my results in time. I hope you do as well. And feel free to PM me. I'll give you my email address and send pics. You too take care bro And good luck in 3 days, you're going first.

Hi Steve, So you have 3 days to go? You've decided to go through with the procedure? Who did you choose for a Doctor? You're not a lone I'm going for it on 12/5 with Doctor Dorin. I wish you luck man. If you are going through with this we can compare notes. I know the feeling right now, it's all that is on my mind. But, I think I'm in good hands? I hope? Good luck.

Looks great. I'm actually having my procedure done 12/5 with Dr Dorin. I hope my results are like yours.

Hi H2, It looks like you may very good results. Like the other posters said it's at the 7 month mark, more improvement is still to come. You are fortunate to have such thick hair. BTW, I sent you a PM.

How many grafts did you do? It looks great...

I have a question for one of the forum veterans or a DR, speaking of stress.. Is stress related hair loss permanent or temporary?
