  1. Hi, will update when home. Not really the results I was after. Going to consider other surgeons in the future for sure.
  2. Great news Johnny and glad to see it's going well. Sadly mine with HDC has been poor a second time round, I'm 7 months in and have noticed minimal difference. Current in Turkey and when I went for a Turkish shave the barber there knew and asked if I had had a hair transplant done! Not great for the confidence and obviously it was noticeable. Time to hunt for a different surgeon for the future. Keep growing matey! Greg.
  3. That's absolutely amazing. I'm very happy for you Bob. Enjoy the new life plagued by bad hair days (in a good way!). All the best.
  4. Hey Johnny, how you doing mate? I'm seeing some excellent growth in my crown area and hairline and have been on Fin for about 2 weeks now. Taking 1mg every 3 days and no noticeable sides so far - going real slow. Get some pics up sonny jim!
  5. Wow amazing and congrats mate. I can only hope mine turns out in a similar fashion. Good luck for the future.
  6. Really appreciate the advice thanks mate. Yes like I mentioned I another thread we've both taken Accutane and the sides from that can be very extreme. I was left with lingering joint pain for 3 years after I finished the drug! Never fully recovered. I'll speak to my GP about a low dose and will get some blood work done first too. Not heard much about the nettle root. Is it a proven effective treatment? I'm going to try S5 cream too. Thanks bud.
  7. Thanks guys. I do expect a mixed response and a few more would be helpful. It's a really tough choice for me. I guess a low dose trial can't hurt can it?
  8. Hi all Right, I am 31 years of age and over the last 18 months have now had two hair transplants (FUE) with approximately 3,000 grafts at the hairline and frontal third and approx. 900 for the crown. My last procedure was in October so awaiting the results of course as early days. I have been using Regaine Foam for over 2 years now and I believe it has helped. It started regrowing a little hair at my temples before the first HT. I have also been using RegenePure DR twice a week, taking Wellmans Trichology tablets and also on 320mg Saw Palmetto capsule a day for two months. I also take Green Tea Extract. Now the big question, do I take Fin? I am PETRIFIED of the potential side effects because I had a bad experience with a drug called Roaccutane which left me with some lingering long term joint pain amongst other things. However, I appreciate I should look to take Fin if I realistically want to halt my hairloss and maintain what hair I have left. I have ordered S5 cream (6 month supply) and was going to try this first. Any suggestions and help would be most appreciated. I did consider maybe a small dose of 0.5mg every other day to ease myself in gently for a couple of months and then up to 0.5mg ED. Help. Thanks Greg
  9. If you find nanogen or toppik doesn't bind easily or falls on the scalp by the hairline, please give Caboki a try mate. Honestly I have all three and normally apply Toppik to crown and Caboki to hairline. It looks great and holds all day.
  10. I use Caboki because it is natural and binds to the hair more strongly, apparently, due to different charge. It's expensive but a truly brilliant product.
  11. 4 weeks is a good amount of time for redness to die down! Looking good here Hairman. I'm similar to you on surgery date so will be interesting to see how we both pan out. Good luck pal.
  12. Looks damn good matey. Keep us posted and here's to a damn epic 2014!
  13. That is pretty poor there's no two ways about it. I know what you mean about hair growing at a funny angle compared to your native hair too mate. That's what's happened to mine and it's damn frustrating.
