I agree @jj51702 I just find it interesting that the company keeps flushing money into this.

Yup! +1 for Humans Sorry “impeding robot ai takeover apocalypse” 😂

I agree @Spanker

Looks as if the company behind the ARTAS robot has come out with a newer smaller, sleeker 2.0 version .... that now does implanting as well.

Saw this video on YouTube on this new company, HairClone, a ‘Graft Bank’ of sorts, they are making claims of being able to preserve an individuals hair grafts in order to clone the cells giving a person a limitless cloned donor grafts down the road. On a practical level, it makes sense. On a business level, they seem to be using the ‘Kickstarter’ method putting out marketing material in order to get funding and investment on future promises and future technology they plan to do, they claim to be partnering with many Ht docs and several recommended on this forum to roll out their method and service. My bullshit meter is pretty good and I feel this is both, a pipe dream and scam to gain financial backing and credibility. Anyone familiar with them?

It looks fine and normal to be honest man. That “white stuff” looks to be just the build up of the your dried scalp skin that caked on while you it was healing the first several days and probably formed into what they look like while you were messaging with wash, I do not believe that those are grafts the “popped out”.

Yup. I mean the dude has done many other things to improve his facial appearance over the years why wouldn’t he get his hair beefed up, just look at his younger photos, looks like a totally different dude. Lost weight, fixed his bad teeth, sculpted his eyebrows, probably some facial plastic surgery to remove baby fat and sculpt it sharper and squarer, obsessed with skin care...etc.

The only growth will be the $$ bonuses to the marketing/pr department at McD’s.

I’m more curious to know which doctor Rafael Nadal went to for his Ht... https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Rafael_Nadal/38458/rafael-nadal-hairs-transplant-new-look-to-be-completed-in-6-months/ https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Rafael_Nadal/56723/rafael-nadal-may-undergo-an-hair-transplant-surgery-again/

I’m willing to bet he went to Dr Couto for a touch-up to beef up his hair.

Yeah, looks impressive but I bet it’s very pricey and comes with a lot of maintenance.

Work looks good. Good luck & happy growing!

Hair growth looks good, even though I’m no fan of finasteride I think it’s working well for you at this time, for how long remains to be seen since you are young and in your late 20’s, things could change if your body gets too accustomed and acclimated to the medication and results taper off down the road, but that remains to be seen if you continue use. I would recommend buying and using an all natural shampoo that contains Saw Plametto (Serenoa Repens) extract in it in conjunction, there are some studies that have shown it can help lessen the amount of DHT in the scalp so may help additionally . I know everyone recommends Nizoral but it can get too harsh on your scalp and hair given all the chemicals and you would need to limit its use.

Natural looking hairline and good density, nice work!

It was a joke, I’m aware guys shave their hair to camouflage receding, I don’t blame the clinic for that, Im pointing out how the pre-op photos posted are unhelpful because you can’t really discern accurate progression, would have been good for the clinic to obtain more grown pre to compare. It is a nice result by the doc & clinic as I stated.

Great results and work! Question: In regards to the exogenous DHT damage....was this patient putting his Transplanted hairs at any risk from taking the anabolic steroids he did due to the extra DHT ... or was the exogenous DHT nullifying what ever “protection” finasteride may have helped his Native hairs and that they had succumb to the extra DHT and that’s why he felt he had better results at 8months rather than 12? Thanks.

Nice result ... BUT ... the pre & post comparison is not. Posting pre-op photos of a fully shaved head alongside post-op results is not helpful. I’ll quote some 🎾 champ....“You cannot be serious?!” He hid his hair loss by looking bald? 🤔

Nice coverage and result Doc, especially for that small number of grafts. What is the age of the patient?

Yup, pretty accurate, imo. the incidence of side effects is always understated in order to get a drug approved for market, like I’ve mentioned in a previous post, when a multi-national drug conglomerate can fund their own studies and “trials”, choose and pay to whom conducts them, then cherry-pick the data that looks most approval-favorable and wine & dine...err lobby, agency officials and doctors to get to market and get the money rolling in, it’s absurd to believe what they place in their drug inserts to be 100% accurate and honest. All you have to do is look at all the drug lawsuits that have happened in the past and are happing by class-action for much more damaging and sometimes-deadly side effects that have caused patients, many times the pharmaceutical company having to shell out millions or hundreds of millions in judgments against them....but they don’t care, the’ve already made their ten’s of billions already so it’s just a ‘cost-of-doing-business’ to them.

Yeah, found this podcast entertaining and honest, haven’t seen the video you mentio but will look for it. Also wondered who his surgeon was.

Thanks! Yeah, for a young somewhat famous dude to be so publicly open and his hair loss and proactive definitely helps break down the stigma of guy, especially young guys wanting to improve their appearance without shame. I think he’s referring to dermarolling / micro needling when they joke about “stabbing” his scalp.

Found this podcast of YouTube workout/prankster Connor Murphy discussing his hair loss and what he does to remedy it and his Ht interesting...slightly annoying but interesting 😂 https://player.fm/series/the-adonyx-podcast-with-connor-murphy-and-brandon-carter-2390798/ep-041-hair-today-gone-tomorrow

Agreed with some of your comment and elaborated a bit more since you seemed to be asking a question you already knew the asnwer to. Lol I was referring to baldness. In my opinion and from many results on this site and others, to me, FUE is the cure to baldness and if tested and approved, that donor graft transfer from one persons scalp to another’s to provide donor grafts to those lacking is now closer to reality more so than cloning. Just as a heart/lung/liver/kidney transplant is a “cure” to an ill person’s alternative to dying.

The will never be a full baldness cure in the form of a pill/lotion/vaccine ...without serious side effects. Cloning maybe by 2040 The sort-of cure is here, FUE, and if the recently discovered science of scientists figuring out that they can remove the obstacle the prohibits transplanting hairs from one scalp to another is tested on humans and approved then that could improve donor supply availability much sooner than cloning.

Looks good and fine. Was this other doctors name Iman Idiot M.D.? Lol
