Not an expert by any means but not sure you can prevent shock loss...it happens to some extent to everyone....more than others..you lucked out..it wasn't till my third HT that I didn't have a lot of Shock loss

Seems to be less shock loss the more transplants I have.

Thanks GJ for replying ...that's actually great information !!! just venting a bit ....17 posts with very little feedback from one of the biggest hair restoration sites is disappointing at times..... FYI search feature isn't the best for looking up questions.

Sounds good thanks for replying ......I'm amazed (with all the people on this site) how many people don't reply to posts...it's like no one wants to share their experiences.

Hello everyone...Just had my third transplant...I want to tart using Rogain again..Doc says to wait a week or when scabs are gone..... I've read on a few post (here) people have used rogain right after a HT, they stated their donor hairs never fell out while using it....aren't those hairs supposed to fall out, isn't that part of the process ? just curious

Ok so I just had my third HT (1800grafts) 3 days ago ....and yes I purchased a Low level laser helmet to help with healing.... I don't want to get into the whole laser debate !! .... if it works it works...if not ..... what I would like to know is at what day/week post ht should i start using the helmet ??? Thanks

Seems to be a new hope in hair loss ...haven't heard anything about it lately though.

Hello my HT Dr wants me to take 1000mg of Vitamin C three times starting two weeks before my scheduled transplant, he did that last time also .....anyone else hear of that ? I guess it promoted healing.

Just saw that studies show statins (cholesterol lowering meds) have a direct impact on hair loss .....Been taken Simvistatin for a while and noticed more and more hair loss during this time ...anyone else ???

Thanks Nick !!

OK thanks ..yep took the antiinflammatory's they gave me and my crown still swelled pretty bad, which wasn't even the transplant site. Maybe a higher dose ?? any thanks for the info

Hi ....signed up for my third transplant and will need a fourth....anyone ever had or heard of that many ??? or more ?? just curious.

Hi everyone ...my last two transplants I experienced excessive swelling around around the transplant sites....anyone ever experience this ?? I'm planning a third and worried about it happening again ....when talking to the nurse in pre op visit, they don't seem overly concerned ..... Is there anything that is proven to reduce swelling ??

Just starting using the new rogain foam......it feels a lot diff then the original ...dissipates or drys very quickly ! Anyone have comments ??

Anyone here ever went under the care of a Bosley Dr, If so how was the technique as well as the charges $$$ Thanks
