  1. All you rogain/minox user are you not concerned with the common side effect reported by many that it makes your face grow old faster? Many users believes they have got lots of wrinkles and a puffy face due to Rogain use. This is basically what has been keeping me of it since just the knowledge that it can cause this would be braintwisting since you wont know whats normal ageing and what is caused by Rogaine. Basically what Rogaine does is suppressing the Collagen Synthesis and this will make your skin grow older faster, starting with the skin close to your eyes since this is where it is thinnest. Here is some more reading for anybody interested: Info about Collagen: Skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reversal with collagen Info about Rogain/Minoxidil and Collagen Synthesis Inhibition: Inhibitory effects of bFGF, VEGF and minoxidil on ...

  2. Has anybody experience from injecting Acell into the white dots scars left from FUE harvesting? Since many have problems with noticeable dot scars left from not so caring doctors using perhaps to big extraction tools I think there is a quite big demand for this type of FUE-scar repair. Acell has showed good outcome in scar-healing so is it possible to make a slit in the white dot and inject Acell for a new tissue grow that will blend out the scar? Anybody have any idea?
  3. Well if you red my first post you will understand that the HT looks bad so either go with a unnatural look or shave.. Really? Well I am the living proof that at least one talk exactly like that, I also have it on email. But I am not here to discuss what the doctor told me, rather to find a solution. I just recently shaved it off after waiting for about 12 month. Since I eventually will open a juridical case against this doctor and his clinic, I am not sure how much info about them I should provide at this moment. But regarding you question I think most were standard instruments since as I said he is one of the "top docs". I hope anybody could help with some tips regarding covering the dots. Can anybody answer the questions about Fraxel and skintransplantation in my first post? Thank you
  4. Except for the cancer issue, has anybody had success with covering the white dots in some way? Fraxel,skintransplant, anything?

  6. I have some concerns I want to raise here and hope there is some knowledgeable people who can help me get some answers. I was butched by a so called ''top doc" with a very good reputation. I had 3000 grafts by him a year ago and it left me with terrible fue dots and overall a very unnatural look. Since I will not let this particular doctor touch me again I need some advice. Before I had the HT I clearly stated to the doc both verbal and by email that I wanted to have the possibility to wet-shave in the future, he said that it would not be a problem since the fue scars would hardly be noticed. Now since I had been doing allot of research before I finally decided to go for the HT I knew that there was a possibility for visible white dots, specially when you go for a bigger session like me. What chocked me was afterwards when I first had to melt the disappointment of the outcome and then reading something that would make me almost lose it. As I recently was planning for the summer I shaved all of and it looked bad as expected. My head is full of white dots and the skin surface of the donor site have the golf ball appearance. 2. I have read about skin-transplantation for persons who have Vitiligo, is this possible for the fue dots? Transplanting small pieces of skin with full pigment to the scarred dots? 3. Fraxel for fue scarring, could this be an option? Could it actually recreate new skin with new pigment or how does it work? Many thanks for all help provided. Edit ( removed wrong information regarding skin cancer, I had misunderstood something I read.. )
