  1. What kind of prices have you all paid per graft for FUT in the USA in the past year?
  2. Exceptional result. Did the patient take propecia or so rogaine or anything for the one year post his surgery?
  3. This result looks real good. Considering you had hair loss pretty far down which also impacted your donor area. This looks good. Perhaps consider another 1,000 or so in the future. Make sure to do preventatives like minoxidil and lllt
  4. I received a transplant about 3.5 months ago on the crown of my head. While doing some work outside for a few hours, my crown looks to ha w gotten sun burnt. Should I be worried? Will this impact hair growth in the area? My initial thought is it shouldn’t matter but would like to hear others opinions. thanks!
  5. Looks like a good transplant. You will undoubtedly lose a few grafts. Try not to panic and stop looking in the mirrors and touching the hairs and driving yourself crazy. You won’t miss one or two grafts. Just don’t inflict damage to your transplant by picking at it
  6. Really solid result Dr. Charles. Did the patient stay on 1mg daily finasteride and LLLT for the entire year after his surgery to attain these results?
  7. Studies indicate that 0.25mg provides about 80-90% of the full benefit when compared to anything else above it. In fact, 0.05mg would give the same impact. This tells me that the limiting agent is the testosterone enzyme in the blood serum which is part of the plasma. Therefore there is an excess amount of finasteride resides in our plasma. In order to prevent excessive build up, I chose the 0.25mg. The best thing to do is to check your testosterone % in serum and testosterone/DHT ratio before taking it and then after to ensure its still in the safe zone. I think all of my side effects were simply the nocebo effect. I have read one too many horror stories and it psyched me out. Even if they were accurate representations, or not, I simply stopped taking it after a few weeks; even though I suspect everything was fine physically and moreso general anxiety about the "what if." See this link for the study I mentioned https://www.hairguard.com/finasteride-dosages/
  8. How old were you when you had your first transplant? Have you continued to lose native hairs in other areas such as it traveling to your crown? you certainly have a fantastic donor density so Im sure doing more procedures wont be an issue for you.
  9. Very nice results. Are you on finasteride? rogaine? laser?
  10. Hey Kaliber, do you have any updated pictures since you did this?
  11. Anyone on fin at 0.25mg successfully? Study show there is a non-statistically significant difference between 0.05mg and 1mg in term of reducing serum dht and scalp dht levels. see link below... https://tophairlosstreatments.com/best-finasteride-dose-hair-loss/ so anyone?
  12. Anyone on 0.25mg successfully? Many studies show there is a non-statistical significant difference between 0.2mg and up.
