  1. Uk finasteride is a great source for the drug, I have used them for 3 years now, You can opt for either Proscar, generic 5mg of finpecia 1mg. Email them after you have signed up as a new patient and then they get back to you within hours and you meds are at your house as fast as first class can deliver I guess! Excellent
  2. Hi, It won't jump start the transplanted hair, by definition the hairs tat have been transplanted into the new area are genetically protected from loss. What I was meaning was that often a lot of peopel have native hair around the area which has been transplanted unless your completely bald. So here you would still want to protect those hairs. the transplanted hair has no dependency to the minox you should not lose the transplanted hair as they are gentitically protected form loss. just use the minox as a safeguard on the rest of the hair that you have and forget about it
  3. The scar looks pretty thin you are just having the slight shock loss of surrounding area, give it a few months, start putting some minoxidil foam on there that what I did it will help kick start the growth again I had the same thing don't worry 2 months later back to normal
  4. Minoxdil is there to provide vasodilation to the surrounding native hair,,, it has great results and if you are prone to any kind of loss it should be part of your daily routine just like brushing your teeth. We know it works so why put the doubt into the equation? Use the foam it is less irritating and better for a transplanted area initaily
  5. Keep us posted, looking forward to the result he looks like a great dr
  6. Hey Ritchie, Great updates and pics, Im needing a similar crown fix great to see the results you have had Uk R
  7. Hi Magnum, See my post here on this topic. I am now 7 months post 2nd surgery, and I have to say that the scar's chracateristsics are perfetc, i.e. ZERO ittching, no irritation no loss of nerve sensation, no ridge nothing, Bear in mind it has to do with the number of grafts i.e how wide the strip is. For exampe my first proceedure was around 2300 and the scar was good but noticeably more irritation to this one which was under 2000. Yes it deepnds on: surgeon sjill - tricho closure individual healing characteristics to trauma size of strip scalp laxity and the rest....... here is the link have a look at the scar healing post op http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/166679-fut-scars-detectable.html
  8. Well done Spex, great to see you putting yourself out there - this can only help the industry and standards. UK R
  9. Hey man welcome aboard, I wa where you were about 3 years ago, I can say that you got a great Doc ion your corner, I have ahd 2 great HT's there, still waiting for my 2nd to grow through, but I know that spending a few thousand pounds in new york for me is almost addicative! best of luck uKR
  10. Looking forward to the result! You got a great surgeon behind you and you just have to sit it out now
  11. Good luck, I'm thinking of the crown as well will be great to see your result!
  12. thanks for sharing, looks great and will look awesome, I have a similar tweak into the front hairline and will of course post up in a few months time when i hit 6 months
  13. Thought I'd show some pics of what a quality scar should look like and what expectations you can look for ( obviosuly individual physiology plays a great part in this) this is based on you having good healing qualities to trauma. This is a progression of scar healng from 10 days at staple removal - note how pink and raw it looks and indeed feels to the touch. then at 28 days still vsisbily quite red and pink and quite noticeable in terms of colour, but look at 4 months the scar is much much lighter in color and is healing execptionally well, you can see the close up picture of the hairs growing through a good tricho closure. 1 year down the line this will have improved even more. A few notes this was approx 1900- 2000 strip procedure with Dr Feller after a first Ht of 2250. I felt this was even better healing than the first not to say that the fisrt one as bad, just the nature of the fact that it was slighlty less grafts a good response considering the trauma and tension that was taken for round one. I dont even feel or notice the scar at all in fact the laxity of the whole domor area is just as it was prior to any Ht before. Which is probably why I cant feel any hiint of surgery or a scar. This again reaffirms the tremendoud resulst and work Dr Feller does every day Hope this helps settle a few nerves and shows what you can expect from a quality surgeon. best Uk R
  14. [4 month update] thught id post again after 1 month, the grafts are pretty much fallen out, however as you can see the native hair in mid scalp area and the surrounding hair line is grown back nicely, this is all he original hair in the first place as the new grafts which were placed in between the existing hairs are yet to come through. here are some pics of how well the scar has healed at 4 months it really is abeat, no irritation, pain or anything.
  15. Great write up and account mr No Kojak! YOu did all th eright stuff, YOur gonna love the result Dr Feller is gonna give you. I also am waiting patiently for my 2nd Ht to come to fruition, even though I have been through the process before witha tremendous result which was not complete until around 12-14 months I was well happy arund 9 months. Now I am also waiting for the 2nd one to come through. You have to just forget about it and get consumed with a passion/ hobby or something that can take your mind of things and before you know it you will be stunned at just how much hair you have grown. Keep us posted it's great to see more and more affirmations of what a good HT can do for anyone
