mikeey started following Weight gain on oral minox and Oral Minoxidil for over 1 year
-
I have been on 2.5 mg OM for almost 14 months , and I can say with certainty that I have gained at least 5 pounds in weight , I have asked the opinion of others but have no definite answer from anyone . I have however stopped OM since 2 days so if it's water retention I will know within 10 days if I drop weight .
-

‘Propecia Castrated Me,’ Says New York State Man
mikeey replied to Mark2010's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
Mark2010 said that Propecia causes Depression without giving any Valid scientific study . now what this does is that Many guys who read such posts , get pissed off and Never Try / quit Propecia as they do not want Depression . And so they eventually loose their Battle against Hair loss due to this . -
‘Propecia Castrated Me,’ Says New York State Man
mikeey replied to Mark2010's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
This Mark2010 guy always comes up with these horror stories about propecia . its not new for him he is a total retard , just check how many posts he has regarding Propecia since so many years , I think he has No creative work left in life . I remember earlier some 8 months back "Spanker" had told me to ignore his posts as this Mark2010 guy was trying to push that propecia was the cause behind Depression with No valid scientific study . I think he has some phobia . -
I guess everyone does get itching after a HT , and that goes On and Off , but no one can really get rid of it , seems that the constant punching of the scalp makes it more DRY and Sensitive , If that wud lead to a Hair fall of Transplanted hair ? I really don't know ! All I can vouch for is that after about 14 months or so the Transplanted Hair looks thinner and less dense , I have spoken to many ppl and almost all agree that the Hair does not look as Dense as it did at months 10 , 11, 12 , 13 . Actual Patients have reported this on this forum many times , BUT No one is sure what causes it , some say donor Thinning , some say DHT from the frontal scalp playing on DHT Resistant Donor area , yet others say Hair Taken from None safe Zone, whatever it is I am 100 % sure that after the 1st year its a Downhill , you wont loose all ur HT hair but the Original Density will be Lost .
-
hi guys Need some help . wanna know if any guy here uses any product apart from the usual Toppik / hair fibres to make their hair look thicker after a HT ? Anyone using any wax or clay to add VOLUME and help hair appear Dense after a HT ! All inputs appreciated .
-
I feel that after the 12 months , many people do not feel the robustness that they felt after the 8 month onward , somehow I think that maybe as the hair matures back to its original form the wiry hair that were sprouting at the 6 - 8 month period begin to smooth out after say 14 months , hence many patients do feel as if they are loosing the Bulk . Many patients will echo the same with me , but I guess No doctor will agree .

FUE 4450 (Including 200 in scar) Dr.Resul Yaman
mikeey replied to hyperhair's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I have a different approach to this . I have been vocal in many posts before this , that HT looses its Bulky density at around 12 months post the Transplant , till now I have not got a convincing answer . Now if you look at your HT at months 6 - 8 I do notice some decent density and what seems likely to be a Good End Result , then Bang there comes a time where you show loosing Hair in the Shampoo , and after that I suppose it was all downhill , This exactly has been observed by many patients , stellar growth then a downfall in Density. I hope you agree with me on this , That the excitement is short lived and these hair loose density . can you please give us your experience on this ? -
Can concealers do damage?
mikeey replied to goodwally's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think all concealers Look like Dust when you are close enough from the person opposite you , from far it looks natural , But from very near I think they all Look fake because the all actually sink down to the skin of the head and not cling to the hair as they Claim . I have tried Caboki but found it very un-natural up close , looks like Crow shit . -
This topic has been close to my heart , as I have always avoided the HT because of this factor , I have convincing evidence that after the first year or so the HT which looks WOW starts to decline in the following months and you Never get the Original 12 month WOW Factor back . MY research led me to conclude that its mainly due to Lack of Blood supply and this was clearly explained by Dr. Feller a few years back on this Forum . And I have met atleast 5 guys who echoed that their Transplants in the Frontal area fell off after the 16 month mark and never recovered , Not everything fell off , but the density was effected by atleast 30 % or More , which never got back . Maybe I am wrong , But I hope if many members here could share their Journeys we could conclude on knowing the Truth .

DHT Technique By Dr Pradeep of Eugenix, Gurgaon, India
mikeey replied to Dipan's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Hi great results ., just one question ? is the donor area visible after supposedly "Over Harvesting "? is the donor skin visible ? -
hi guys returning to a rather old querie . Has anyone found any Answer as to why The "Transplanted " Hair on the recipient Area seems to loose Density after 14 months onwards? I have been researching this since the last many months and have even met some guys who shared my confusion and admitted that they had Lost density on the Frontal and crown area and that which was slick bald before the HT , so obviously there were No native hair to start with , what I wish to understand is why does the person Loose Density after a good Dense HT ( 12 Months ) and suddenly realises down the line after say 2 years that they do not look as Dense as the 1st year post Operation . even I have read on many internet sites where many have claimed that they too has experienced the same ! well if that is really the Truth , I have reservations of spending money just to enjoy a year of Blessings and the get into Depression till I fix it again with another HT OR Regret going that route in the first place !!
