I think its a mixture of both to be honest. I did have some growth but I also lost some of my native hairs. I think I had quite significant shock loss and these hairs never grew back. Dr Feriduni was kind enough to offer a repair procedure. So this is the second (repair) procedure. First one was over 2800 grafts I believe (cant recall exactly) and this one was around the same numbers! I agree about FIN, would’ve helped in my case particularly with diffuse thinning but I had all the side effects (reduced libido, erectyle dysfunction and so on). I tried it again recently - same problem.
As I said before Im hopeful that this one would be better but given that I have no more growth in the front/mid section I’m becoming slightly disheartened.
In the past I saw no real improvement beyond 5-6 month but at present I can feel some small hairs in my crown area but unfortunately nowhere else.
What do you think?
