  1. Hi Guys, Do you any of you guys think Finpecia from India is weaker than the real thing - Propecia from Merck - I have so few side effects from Finpecia which has got me thinking is it weaker - if so, it wont be as effective????? CHEERS

    Hi izzy,

     

     

    Just saw your thread about haircut post HT.

     

    Can you tell me what you happened to do?

     

     

    I'm planning to go back to work on Day 11 post HT (day 7 today) and buzz my whole head down to a 1. I know my scar will be showing but would like to find a concealer to have it not so obvious.

     

    Any idea?

     

     

    I would be grateful if you could share with me your experience.

     

     

    Have a great day,

  3. Hi, Its been 10 weeks since i had a ht - i've gone back to what i was like before the ht - when will i see any new hairs grow ? Is it the 3 month mark you get to see new hair or 6 months? any thing i can do to grow back more hair. I am on finpecia been on it since Jan this year and I apply minoxidal 5% twice a day --- Cheers guys thanks for ya support
  4. Hi Guys, I had a HT 8 weeks ago- and i'm back to normal pre HT. When am I likely to see growth? Should i be seeing growth now after two months? Also I've started minoxidol - is this a good thing or should i wait? Cheers guys
  5. This may seem a little random but have you noticed that most of the alcoholics and drinkers we see have a full head of hair! I'm starting to think that alcohol must have an effect on DHT or play a role in effecting the hair and that it must lower DHT somehow! What do you guys think?
  6. Is it okay to go into a Sauna or Steam Room or Swimming Pool 6 weeks after a Hair Transplant or will the going into a sauna or steam room ruin the hairs or potential growth?
  7. Phew thanks for that! I keep touching my head and combing my hand and palm across the top and I don't wish to damge any hair - will all the hair fall out after 4 weeks .....ahh i'm going to look so bald....also when can I start using Minoxidol ie Rogaine?
  8. Hi Guys, I'm 18 days post HT and every time I press my hands across my head I seem to have 3 or 4 transplanted hairs on my hand is this ok? Also should the hairs that come out have the roots at the end if so does this mean they are damaged transplanted hair? Please help I am worried that I keep touching my head and feeling the hair therefore damaging the transplanted hair
  9. HI Guys, Just wanted to know if anyone has tried the Scalproller™ Titanium Microneedle Roller they say it enhances any topical treatment regime. Stimulates natural repair pathways to support scar healing and maintain healthy hair growth. When can you start using it after a HT - could it damage newly implanted grafts? So should one wait a year after a transplant to start using it? Have a look at this link they say it stimulates new growth? Scalproller : Titanium Microneedle Roller for Thinning Hair Cheers
  10. Cheers guys, I was a diffused thinner but covered it well with concealers such as Dermmatch and Toppik and COurve but i'm worried that when I go back to work and eventually when the grafts fall out i will look pretty thin on top, i've heard concealers can damage or hinder grafts and growth, so i'm thinking of keeping my hair short but how short i do not know yet as I may just show the scar off - it looks cool x
  11. Hi Guys, I buzzed my hair grade 1 all over for my HT. I may keep it buzzed grade 1 for a year until growth appears - is this a good idea will it effect growth or grafts? Also, how long do I have to wait before I can buzz the implanted hairs with a trimmer? Thanks
  12. Thanks for the tips guys - if using any concealer could hinder the health and growth of the graft I may just keep my head buzzed and show off the scar! Until growth appears. I just need man up!
  13. Hi Guys, After how many days after a Hair Transplant is it safe to use a concealer? I'm thinking of using either Nanotick -Topik -Courve or Dermatch. Having had a buzz cut for the the transplant I will look pretty thin on top. I want to know if using any of the above mentioned products will hinder or damage my hair and growth. Is it best to be brave and just not put anything on and look bald until growth appears?
  14. thanks for the info guys. After 3 days or so how many times should you be washing your head? Twice a day gently with baby shampoo?
  15. Hi Guys, Do you have to wash your head after a hair transplant - or is it best to go a week or two without washing the newly implanted grafts so you know they are secure and the scabs have fallen off? I know you will be dirty for a week or two but its worth it if the grafts will be secure. Cheers
