  1. Following. Very curious to know hassons response as well
  2. How long does it take for grafts to develop a full blood capillary after surgery?
  3. Random question but many people claim fue is the way to go if they want to keep “short hairstyles.” Is this referring only to the donor areas being kept short, not the entire recipient/head as well?
  4. If u were using it before the surgery and saw benefits then it would not be good to quit. If u just used it to try and speed up growth post op then I’d consult with your doctor
  5. False beliefs? What I think duchaine is trying to tell you is that his “opinion” as you’re stating is backed up by studies etc. he’s not giving u his personal beliefs on minoxidil he’s stating facts as far as I’m aware
  6. Whatever you choose...my advice is to not rush into anything. Part of it is going with your gut.
  7. Recuperarelpelo forum has posted results for many of the Spanish docs
  8. Hi doron. Hasn’t dr maras moved onto a motorized punch? Any Specific reason manual was used in this case?
  9. Correct, so that came as a surprise to many when the placebo group had a decent amount of growth compared to the minox group from what was explained
  10. You need to see a dermatologist ASAP. It could be seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis among other things. Treatments usually involve anti fungals, steroids, etc. make sure to show the derm these pictures u have as well with the big flakes
  11. Did Diep explain why he only extracted in certain areas?
  12. Doctors need u to shed all gains before a transplant? ...uhh which doctor said this? theres a lot of hate on minoxidil in this thread but the reality is that it’s one of the few effective medications we have which is thoroughly tested, easily accessible, and affordable. It works synergistically with finasteride as shown in studies. Our hair follicles have a certain number of programmed cycles before they miniaturize forever. Minoxidil extends the anagen phase thereby extending this phenomenon. Whatever we can do to extend these limited cycles is a positive. finasteride and Minoxidil are treatments NOT cures so if u want their benefit then you have to use them continuously. Of course, finasteride is easy as u just pop a pill rather then apply a topical 1-2 times a day but such is life.
  13. Did he tell you how many more grafts you have left? How does the donor look now?
  14. Have you already talked to konior? I believe he has a 1 year waiting list
  15. OP I would visit a few reputable surgeons in person and have them give you an evaluation of your donor among other things to tell you how good of a candidate you are. Diffuse loss is a little more risky but can be done with the right candidate and good doctor.
  16. This is not a fair statement to make. Since the op has diffuse loss there is a chance the donor is affected as well. He needs a microscopic evaluation to look for miniaturization in the donor.
  17. You’ve gotten a bunch of great advice on this thread. Just to add my experience, Had I gotten a transplant at 23 (even tho I was on fin) I would have a gap between my transplanted and native areas because I still slowly receeded. Imo 23 is too young especially if ur not doing anything to prevent loss. Crown work is a HUGE no at ur age bc of the possibility of having a crown halo if u continue to have a crown that expands with loss.
  18. It’s hard to say as there are many variables. You have dark hair and light skin which creates more contrast and can potentially allow scarring to be more visible. Punch size and extraction pattern also matter. If u do get a procedure get in the mindset to prepare for the worst (maybe a 2 or 3 guard is the max u can trim down to) so ur not disappointed
  19. Hard to say really. I’m not sure of the specifics but 6 weeks off total seems like it can induce a shed in my eyes. How long after those 6 weeks? Hard to say. Remember, minox is a treatment, not a cure so it needs to be used Continuously to work. Initial results from minox should appear at about 3 months and go from there so you’re right that at 8 months it’s been a significant amount of time. id follow up with pekiner directly as his rep is prob not the best source of info
