  1. let us know how it goes. I've read smp fades quicker in scars. i cant even see any white dot scarring in your donor, just an even density decrease that most people wont even notice
  2. Ive read SMP does not last long in scar tissue such as fue scars. Do you know of any information otherwise?
  3. It’s funny bc on his site for years nizoral was recommended by spex. Then he went into the same page and replaced the word “nizoral” with “ groMD shampoo” yet forgot your replace it in one spot so it contradicts lol. He’s obvi getting paid to promote it
  4. Seems scammy. I would stick to nizoral as it has the most studies showing effectiveness. If I really wanted to add another shampoo that MIGHT help based off of a single study (check it out here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18498517) then I would add something that had piroctone olamine as an ingredient. Again, its only one study showing its benefit so we don't know the true effectiveness.
  5. Your results from your thread look great. What does ur hairline exposed look like now however?
  6. Please continue to keep us updated. The donor looks much improved in this pic. This is probably the length you would want to keep it at in the future
  7. Again I’m no expert and it’s all guess maybe 850-1000? But now the question is will it make enough of a cosmetic difference to make you happy?
  8. Bro do u realize how much 1 MILLIGRAM is? It’s a super tiny amount. That propecia pill is mostly filler. People have been using quartered proscar for years with success. If you’re really that paranoid get the 1mg from Costco pharmacy for very cheap
  9. All guess here but if it’s equal on both sides and roughly 30cm area transplanted at 50 grafts/cm I’d say about 1500
  10. Hi Dr. Lindsey I’m the “hater” you reference in your video that asked a question in your previous thread. All I asked was if the punch size was on the larger side since the artas uses around a 1.1mm punch and gets criticized for heavily scarring up donor areas of patients. I also was asking what the wall thickness is on the feller punches you use. So instead of answering you made a video referring to me as a “hater?” Not sure if I’m following the strategy correctly... thread in question:
  11. Not really. H&w for sure, rahal sometimes (even tho they r not US docs per se). I just don’t think US docs have the highest reputation in other countries even tho I think docs like konior and Shapiro can easily hold their own against some of the worlds best
  12. I have no idea about Rahal because his patient coordinator Aaron bugayong was the most annoying person I’ve dealt with in my life. Aaron single handedly made me cross rahal off my list
  13. Totally agree. I believe this is the only site he is recommended and part of, and funny enough, the only place you’ll find his reviews. So membership plays a big part too as well as the entire patient rep aspect.
  14. I notice on most forums that marketing plays a huge part. I believe that’s one of the reasons why these forum reps from the doctors exist: to post reviews and showcase work to make a name for the doc. I see feriduni mentioned more on other forums such as international hair loss forum. Hlc represented more on German and Italian forums. Another example is konior, he is seen as an mvp here but I’ve never seen his name mentioned elsewhere especially the non English forums.
  15. Good transformation. The donor harvesting looks nice and homogeneous @Melvin-Moderator I could be wrong but I don’t think that’s smp. Looking like a straight up tattoo as I see no “dot simulation” to mimick hair
  16. You’re absolutely right about being more aware of more minor imperfections. After a ht many of us hyper examine everything. I was finding weaknesses in areas I never paid attention to before. I think it’s normal but can become very unhealthy and lead to BDD-like behavior. You seem to have a good mindset towards it all. @Melvin-Moderator recently made a great post with the main message being “hair transplants are not perfect” which is very true
  17. Don’t be too concerned just yet. The grafts are barely coming out so the hairs are wiry and a bit untame. Try to remain patient. If it was 8 months with that much growth then I would say be worried but you have a lot of time for stuff to happen. There is a poster here that got surgery from bisanga on his hairline and he just posted his 4 months and it looks similar.
  18. Looks about right for 4 months. You didn’t even have an ugly duckling stage since your native hair grew in well, must feel great. Did bisanga tell you how much donor you have left?
  19. Wrong! scientists at Merck knew damn well that finasteride helped with prostate as well as male pattern baldness. They sent their doctors and scientists to the Dominican Republic to study a group of men know as “psuedohermaphrodites” who had a 5ar deficiency. The scientists noted these men had virtually no mpb and no prostate issues while remaining otherwise healthy. They developed finasteride to mimick these people’s hormonal profile as best possible. they released proscar first in 1992 and juiced the profits for a good 6-7 years while the fda studies for propecia were process. Hair loss treatment was not an accidental outcome of treating prostate issues with finasteride
