I had some pain for a few days but the nerve regeneration did cause me to have a throbbing bad-head-ace like pain for around 5-7 nights, after that just occasional scalp itching and annoying pimples in donor and recipient areas. All in all, well worth it.

Fantastic results! Congrats!

Not sure but may have a couple or a few that have a 2 hairs coming out of 1 root but like in the close up photo, new single hairs seem to be sprouting in front of the ‘doubles’ but I’ll have to do a closer look when taking photos again, I’m not much bothered by them unless it was many more and 3 or 4 hairs per root.

Haha 🙂 Thank you!

Thanks JJ! Appreciate the kind words!

Thought I’d add that I noticed some newly grown fine hairs in my hairline, so it’s true, you can get new growth even after you’ve reached 8 months. Hope that helps those that are wondering.

Not really, since you are really early in the healing process. I just wore a baseball hat when I could to cover it, you can use pure aloe Vera gel on your donor area if it bothers you but for the transplanted area I don’t think you can do much really than to let it heal naturally, you don’t want to damage the grafts this early in the process. Also, definitely ask your doctor/clinic, they should have informed you for post-op care.

Hi. Looks totally normal, redness could last a month or two maybe less maybe more. Good luck & happy growing!

Very nice progress! @nick1111

Absolutely fantastic results! Congrats!

Thank you! @Baldrick101 At this point, I’m fairly happy. Yes, I definitely agree I’ve come a long way from before the procedure and the progress, although, honestly I do think my mid scalp and crown area need more improvement and density so hopefully that improves in the upcoming months to where I can definitely honestly say that I am fully thrilled at the full results, and I’ll be taking photos of those area next week to post at my 8.5 months. I definitely do not regret getting the procedure done. 🙂

Unfortunately the iPad that I was using to take daily post-op progress photos crashed and I lost a couple weeks worth of photos before being able to do a back up. I did, however, find 1 photo that I had emailed myself that I believe is 7-days post op, included below.

Just a short 8 months and 10-days update, noticing texture improvement as my hair grows longer (trying to get that pompadour style now 😂)

Hi, From looking at your photos and reading your expectations, in my opinion, I think you could get a decent reasonable result to frame your face/head with the blue area you’ve highlighted, although im not sure about how dense it would be but that all depends upon your donor quality and quantity as well as if you choose FUE or FUT. Even though your hair loss is pretty advanced, there’s a good possibility if you have realistic expectations. Do some in-person consultations with some doctors in your area or close, that only do Hair Transplants, get their professional opinion and take it from there. Good Luck!

Found this great clip by Dr’s Feller & Bloxham explaining “slow growers” with a great patient example, thought I’d share it for those that might be concerned or stressing out about their growth.

This things reminds me of those metal(?) wrist bands that were popular in the 90’s that claimed to so-called help “balance” & “improve” your mood/energy/chi etc. 😂

Yeah, the biotin & MSM just really helps speed up hair growth but don’t think it helps against genetic hair loss. Hmm I haven’t seen those on food to control DHT but sounds interesting. Thanks, yeah they seem to be helping. Yes, I purchase NOW brand Nettle Root Extact (not nettle leaf) on Amazon pretty inexpensive and in my opinion i think it better and possibly more effective than Saw Palmetto. Here is a link to an article on how Nettle Root helps with DHT if you’d like to check out: https://www.livestrong.com/article/271267-how-nettle-root-works-for-hair-loss/

Thanks man! Yours as well! Checked out your thread and I gotta say amazing results for your 6months already. Yes, I do take supplements, I try and take daily: Biotin/MSM/Multi-Vitamin/Clean grass-fed whey protein (post workout)/recently started taking Nettle Root extract capsules for its anti-DHT properties/and I try to eat healthy. I used to take Finasteride but got annoying sides. Oh and just like to add no minoxidil or Nizoral at all. How about you? Take any supplements and medication?

Great, I’m looking forward to seeing your post of your Ht results.

Yeah. After all..increasing blood to scalp circulation one could hang upside-down at the gym for 10-minutes a few days a week is free. I’ve always thought these 6-month or more money back “guarantees” were bogus, and you’d have to be an Olympic gymnast to jump through to their $$ hoop.

Fantastic 10-month results! Love the hairline design. Congrats! I too am a bit concerned about his techs doing all the extractions, but, I think if it’s a small dedicated long-term team that he utilized and not many teams like for 5-9 concurrent daily procedures then I would be okay with that given Dr Lorenzo’s consistently good to great results.

I’m very skeptical about this product. The science they put forward sounds interesting but they go through all the trouble of creating a product, going into detail on their theory and claims, offer a 180-day money-back guarantee...but don’t post any detailed before and after photos?? They couldn’t find any willing beta testers to back up their claims??...they want us to pay them $300 to beta-test their beta product & claims??...any legitimate company offers their product free of charge to Q&A beta testers.

Hi Been following your progress, and looks real good so far, the shorter haircut definitely makes it appear less gappy. I think the reason no one responded to your post asking advice on whether to cut or buzz it short is because it’s tricky to tell someone else how to get their hair cut just by looking at slightly dark photos imo, but looks like a good choice on your part until you see more progress and density. Good luck! Keep updating!

Did you have an Ht?...do you have a progress post link?

Thanks for the compliment. Its not that I’m afraid to disclose my doctor, I just want my photo updates and progress/results to speak for themselves first and foremost, as I feel that’s what everyone should judge moreso that any particular ‘technique’ or ‘method’ or ‘tools’ or ‘surgeon’, I do plan to update and mention my doc as I get close to my 1-year mark or as close to the point where I feel I’m completely happy/satisfied beforehand as I’m not even at the 8.5 months yet, as I’m still seeing slight improvements here and there.
