Have you found that your hair/crown has stabilised from being on meds over the past year? Are you on Finasteride 1mg per day? Minoxidil?, etc?

It hasn’t  really gotten worse. But has not improved

PRP and laser, when done together, (and correctly), can help reverse miniaturization and can help bring in results of a transplant a lot faster.  A few providers really know what they're doing and are getting awesome results.  Like any other modality, however, these need to be done periodically to maintain the effect.  

SMP can be a great technique, particularly to camouflage thinning.  It can help minimize the contrast. So, if you have dark hair and light scalp, it can help you postpone a procedure.  Make sure they use organic ink so the body can metabolize it.  Then repeat as needed/required.

I can gladly guide you to providers that do these things.....

Hey what smp artist do you have in mind that uses organic ink. Can you name a few ? 

Yes if you can Pm message me . Or either leave in the comment box. A good laser device , prp location . And also smp clinic I can check I would highly appreciate it. 
 

also what’s your opinion on micro-needling ? I have been using a dermapen off and on. Not too sure about the progress though. @LaserCap

I haven’t tried laser or prp . What’s your take on those ? 
Also what’s your opinion on long hair smp? 
I was thinking about getting smp to eliminate the hair/ scalp color contrast but wasn’t sure how it would come out. 
 

thanks for replying!

Yates, they were terrible. I’m stuck in between choosing a fut or fue.

fut has better yield for Adrian Americans with my hair texture . 

But I think it would be hard for me to conceal the scar , especially with a part of my donor already thinning because of this bad fue scar. 

But then again I don’t want to do another fue for 1000 grafts . And have limited donor for a further procedure down the line if needed.

im stuck 🤦🏽‍♂️

@Melvin-Moderator I had dreadlocks when I had the fue done. So they shaved a small area.But if I knew what I knew now I wouldn’t of listen to that doctor at all. How many grafts do you think I have left in donor by guess? I wanted to do a 800- 1200 graft procedure for frontal. But I don’t know how many I will have down the line for future need 

@Melvin-Moderator if you look close you can see my previous fue scar . Hoping to see how many grafts I have left if they work around that, also which would be better to camoflouge scar. Smp or beard hair into scar area?

@Melvin-Moderator just shaved it down 

@Melvin-Moderator I respect your opinion . I’ve been reading your comments on blogs for a while now. Looking for some good input 

Which route did you take . What Doctor . How were the results 

@CosmoKramer apperciate the help. I hope my results are like yours.

@Melvin-Moderator when does finasteride re growth usually kick in. How many months ? 

@Melvin-Moderator First thanks for your knowledgeable FeedBack 🙏🏼.  Now I have been on finasteride for 4 months. I have stop the shedding but I haven’t experienced any new growth at all. Do you know anyone who got re growth ? And if so around what time phase.  Also I have a microneedling pen from hairliciously. They instructed once a week at 1.5 Needle. And I also use minioxldi every day at night. On the days I microneedle I wait 24 hours. Do you have any photos of micro needle results to? 

But any way thanks a lot. I will wait until around December to re think the surgery and give everything else a chance to work it’s magic 🙏🏼

@Melvin-Moderator 2 are wet 2 are dry 

@Melvin-Moderator I am 25 so looking to stay conservative as possible. As we all know grafts are limited . And future loss will happe eventually. I’m currently on finasteride for 4 months shedding has stopped completely . Just looking for a good surgents this time for a procedure . I know it is difficult with my curly hair texture. But I appreciate you referrals. I see you on here a lot do you have any nice AA Fue results you can forward me ? Also what’s your opinion with Vories Down In S.C ? And also Behnam in La

Why aren’t you a candidate for fue ? 

And what about fut

Yeah the crown is bothering me a lot. I keep hearing that I should stay away from the crown. But I was thinking about putting a couple hundred grafts in the crown then coming back if it got worse .
