  1. I’m no doctor but from what I’ve read I would assume it’s due to the time needed for new nerves to form for the grafts blood supply, for your 1st question. For your 2nd question, I believe I’ve seen posted that at maturity hairs from grafts should double in diameter , so yeah, 50% of initially.
  2. I wonder if one could buy one of those ab toning belts that go for $99 and put that on the scalp to increase & stimulate circulation and hair regrowth....or maybe I’ll just invent and repurpose one and market it for Hair loss...hmmm 🤑🤑🤑
  3. Nice! Yeah, your Doc should be able to tell you your graft donor amount info. Good luck growing, will be following your updates 👍🏻
  4. Hi Looks like you’re progressing well, the donor bruises at first glance to me looked a bit scary but healed up nicely. You got a lot of grafts done for just your frontal 1/3 so you should get a nice dense result. Do you know what your total donor capacity was and have left for any possible Ht down the road should you require need it?
  5. Did Capillus actually refund you the full amount you paid? Did they make you jump thru hoops to get your refund?
  6. Yes, he did. Just google him he was as bald as bowling ball before the Ht and throughout his NFL career, never hid it or covered it up. This is just a case of some other doctor/clinic in another state stealing and using his image and likeness to promote their shady business.
  7. Hi looking at all the progress photos you’ve posted, in my honest opinion it does seem as though you have had some improvement from your 6-th month, it may be slight but to me it looks much better now than 1.5months ago, with that said, the density is not there...yet, you could possibly see more new growth of fine hairs even up til the 9-10th month and the hairs that have already grown should thicken and mature as well. Thanks for posting your progress, hopefully you get more and keep posting!
  8. I’ve previously tried micro needling with a derma roller and believe it can help with increasing blood supply/circulation and possible generation or regeneration of hair follicles. I saw a few new hairs generated and growing to maturity in my temple area that was bare, and they are still there, but, it was too much of a hassle so I gave up on it. I do use pure refined emu oil a few times a week to help with growth and inhibition of scalp DHT, there is some information online that it is beneficial for hair and skin and it’s healing and skin penetrative abilities. Also take nettle root extract capsules instead of Saw Palmetto to inhibit DHT and naturally increases my free testosterone to give me a boost in the gym. Just like to add to the my micro needling example above, I do believe wounding or wound healing can induce new cellar hair stem cells due to an accidental injury as a kid (a really really bad flesh burn on my arm from a metal clothing iron), long story short...never went to the doctor for the injury only hid it from family put gauze on it from drug store many times, it took a long time for burn wound to heal as many layers of skin were damaged and constantly coming off and when it finally finally healed brand new hairs grew normally and like there was no sign of a burn or damage to my skin or scarring even to this day. This personal experience made me believe that there was something to that company Follica’s announcement back in 2008 and their experiments with wound healing to regrow hair since I’d experienced evidence of it personally and hoped they would be successful bringing their method to market but it’s now been 10-years since they made hair news and disappointing that they couldn’t get it to out there.
  9. Nice repair job by H&W. I believe I’ve seen this patients Ht YouTube videos, would be great to see a thorough video of this result.
  10. Hi In my opinion, given your age and current advanced state of hair loss, and pretty good donor area, I’d say you’re probably a good candidate for an Ht. I totally agree with what @Spaceman suggested for you.
  11. Growth looks real good for 4.5 months, do you have any concealer in your hair?
  12. Thanks for updating! Your results at 7-months look great to me, hairline looks natural! Congrats l!
  13. Hi @abysmo I don’t want to give you added stress, but being honest, the bad news first, your latest progress photos look pretty disappointing for close to 7-months post-procedure, now hopefully good news is that if you are truly a slow grower than you may have more improvement and growth over the next 3 months or so. Have you contacted and sent your current photos to the clinic to get their current take on your progress?
  14. Hi Your Progress and coverage looks real good for 6-months, more to come! Hope you keep updating your progress.
  15. Does anyone know a ballpark figure of what price he charges per graft?
  16. Don’t waste you money on PRP or ACELL or other BS, put the money towards an HT. I’m glad I did.
  17. Thanks JJ! thats actually bright white light from 4 led bathroom lights, not flattering at all haha. Yeah, I’m not so worried about any doubles in the hairline, and actually I’ve looked close and don’t really see them in the first row, even see a few new fine hairs just starting to grow in the front line, I agree, I’m not looking for perfection, sometimes perfection can look fake and unnatural, thanks, appreciate your input!
  18. True, and can’t escape it but able to cover it up. It was an older hair dryer that doesn’t have a cool setting so may get a new one and try that. I’ve almost always let my hair air dry, especially in all my previous photos in my posts, it’s okay just makes the hair look weak and frizzy.
  19. So, it’s now 8.5 months post my FUE procedure and I have seen noticeable improvement in my left temple side (right side in the photos) that was lacking growth. Ive taken a few photos in harsh bathroom light after styling my hair dry with a blow dryer since it is getting longer, haven’t used a blow dryer in 15-years 😂 but I’m not much of a fan as it makes the hair look thinner. I find it funny how the new hair is much darker than my native or the way my native hair was years ago, going grey sucks 😂
  20. Baseball hats🧢 were my captors in Hair Loss prison, 80% less now and hopefully even less as I get completely accustomed to my results. Definitly agree, regarding the fact that you stress and think less about your hair as you get it, it was the Ah-ha moment for me when I get up I get up in the morning and not fear the mirror, now no matter how bed hair messy it gets it feels good looking in the mirror.
