Growth rate in a HT in the crown area
theportchesterpirate replied to theportchesterpirate's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I say 18 months because that's generally how long it takes for a ht to fully mature. I'm half way there so I won't judge it until then. My wife noticed very fine sprouting at around 12 weeks, that is when I started on the minoxidil again but with the shock loss in the surrounding ht area plus the shock loss in the transplanted region and the added shedding due to the use of minoxidil. I decided to stop using it so I'm just on the finastride now which I'm much happier with. -
Growth rate in a HT in the crown area
theportchesterpirate replied to theportchesterpirate's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
It's hard to put your finger on it really, but all I can say it's much slower. I'm at 8.5 months and even though I have coverage in the crown there's no real density. I'll wait till around 18 months till it's fully grown out then re-address it. I had a lot of work done from in filling the hairline, through the bridge and the crown. So I'm guessing I may have to have one last procedure to concentrate on the crown. That's the problem when anyone who goes down the HT route your in to get the desired result, whether that means one procedure or three, four etc. -
Minox and Fina is good for a 31 y.o. NW2?
theportchesterpirate replied to PeterPel's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
1mg daily propecia and 5ml twice a day minoxidil. I've been on this for two years now with no side affects. -

Get on propecia and minoxidil right away man, the propecia will block the DHT'S from shrinking the hair follicle's. So you will keep the hair you still have, and in time you may get some new growth. The minoxidil will encourage new growth, you may experience new growth within 4 months with the minoxidil. But you must continue using the propecia. I don't know of any natural or herbal treatments that actually work, -
Big difference from your pre-op pic good facial frame, good coverage, congratulations. -
Very happy Rob, the 2nd ht was done 8 months ago so it's in the thickening stage now, so it will get even thicker than it already is Rob. May have to have some more work done on the crown one day (if the wife will let me). -
4737 FUT with Dr. Rahal- 11/16/12
theportchesterpirate replied to agenteye's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Congratulations on getting the HT done agenteye it's a long wait now, you will get impatient believe me. But hang in there focus on 16-20 weeks you should have some descent coverage by then. And then from around 7-8 month the hair will start to thicken, generally takes around 18 months to fully grow out so long way to go, but it's positive all the way now dude. -

Growth rate in a HT in the crown area
theportchesterpirate replied to theportchesterpirate's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thanks Dr Charles I think I may now have to hang upside down everyday for a while LOL!. So that's what it most probably is down to blood circulation, thinking about it the crown being on the highest point of our body's the blood has further to travel to it. Thanks for your input. -

Spex do you know the reason why crown HT'S grow slower than hairline HT'S? -
Growth rate in a HT in the crown area
theportchesterpirate posted a topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Guys, i heard recently that if you have a ht in the crown area, the growth rate is slower than if you have a ht in the hairline. Is this true or false? if it is true then does anyone have any knowledge regarding this. -
I took this 4 months ago Rob it's actually thicker now, I'll get my finger out and put some more pics on very soon mate. Have you booked a date for your 2nd procedure then?.
