    Thanks!

    Really? It sure looks thicker than mine lol Do you know how many microns (asking for a friend :D)

    Holy cow this looks phenomenon! Giving your "prime real estate" to cover I bet it's already a success! Imagine how it will look in the next 6-9 months! I'm so jealous of guys with thick hair like yourself! I'm on month 5 and my hair is thinner than my arms!

    Oh man, I feel worse and worse as my transplant matures more and more The "cutoff" is more and more visible. Well, to be honest that was my plan all along to try to camouflage it with slick-back. If you look at my hair from the front it looks very thin, but if you look from the back / top it actually looks pretty good. (took this picture a minute ago). So If I slick back front hair and push forward crown hair "technically" it should look ok Thanks! Happy to serve I guess this experiment was a success if I helped at least you

    Bingo! Let's keep 'em haters confused!

    5 Months The barbers opened up on Saturday! So I thought, It's 5 months after my FUE, why not to try out a skin fade and see how my scars looking like? Normally I won't go for this hairstyle, but I got inspired after seeing countless of posts asking how scars are looking like with shaved head. Here you go my friends, my contribution. I know ideally skin fade could have been higher, but that's what my barber did In this video you will find: - Skin Fade experiment - Visual outcome in different light conditions - Hairline Close-up under direct sunlight & indoors Any questions - hit me up!

    Google Serenoa Rapens to see studies etc. It's the other name for Saw Palmetto.

    A tiny bit of hair fibers and you will look like a rock star I'm at 5 month and see similar growth, so I guess you're right on track! Btw. I think you might benefit from skin fade? I just went to a barber who did skin fade on my donor and because the skin is quite pale, scar tissue is almost identical color, so it's literally undetectable.

    Maybe after 12 months when it's time to do "final result" pictures they decided to change camera settings as they found it looks better than the ones they did 12 months ago? That's my only legit explanation.
  10. Rolandas
    Man that is spot on! Looks incredible. "Harsh light / no harsh light" 🤣

    Donor - can't really complain. I don't believe donor could look any better after fue. This was me 1 month after my surgery when I buzzed donor to 1mm.

    I've done a good video for people like yourself. How to "narrow down" Dr's after doing some research and what & where to look for. Have a look and let me know!

    Hey man, I think you're on the right track to determine good doctor. My understanding was always to find the best surgeon for your particular case. Look at how each doctor does hairlines, ask them to explain in detail how they would do it. Don't forget, everyone would like to get you in their chair, it's your choice in the end of the day. Re: graft count - I was just talking to one guy about it lol. Every doctor has their "opinion" <--- key word. There's no right or wrong answer. One might think he can do with 1000 grafts, another with 2000. Obviously safe to assume more grafts = more density, but you have to also think about future hair loss. If you're lucky to stay on this stage then go for max you can, if not, be more conservative. You always can lower go back and top it up, but on contrary, if you have just this small area to cover and that's how much baldness is running in your family, then there would be nothing wrong of thinking about "one and done" type. From my personal experience with Dr. Ferreira: - He used both motorised and manual punches according to his needs for different parts of head and hair - Used punch size according to my grafts diameter (I had lots of multi-grafts growing in one line, meaning wider punch needed) - I had lots of popping on the first day, so he completely changed his implanting approach on second day and successfully avoided popping happening again (being knowledgeable) - Not sure how much this relates to others, but his anesthesia was pretty much painless 1/10 as he somehow been massaging my scalp while inserting the needle (lots of people report this being the most painful part lol) More info obviously on my thread, but just trying to give you something more specific from my experience, so you can compare. Good luck on your research and don't rush!

    Because Saw Palmetto does exactly same thing like Propecia it's safe to assume side effects should be the same. People overall report less side effects with it as it's not as strong as finasteride.

    Doesn't sound appealing having a haircut every week But nevertheless thanks for your insight! I'm still thinking whether or not to jump on this bandwagon
  16. Rolandas
    Some great points gents. I never looked into follica's trials but I know they're using very similar device and as such would be more customized towards hair loss as opposed to Dr. Pen and others that being generally used for general skin. My only issue with derma pens/stamps was that because of the angle it should cut your hair more often that regular derma roller as it has a rolling mechanism, thus most likely will put your hair flat. Also needles are quite spaced out, so it shouldn't cut as much as I believe you could do with Dermapen as you can potentially make hundreds more holes, thus higher chance of cutting the hair.

    Yes it's definitely better for convenience, but sometimes I don't care about convenience if it means better results? What do you think a bout 18 000 RMP? More than twice faster. Also doesn't it mean with 36 pins you can cover much of your scalp as they're tightly packed?
  18. Rolandas
    Hey man, any update on this?
  19. Rolandas
    Men that's just incredible result! It proves the point further that micro-needling can be a very effective way to "rejuvenate" hair and give them very good boost. I'm keep thinking whether or not I should do something more than just Finasteride. Since dermarolling with minoxidil didn't do as much as I would expect I stopped it and doesn't look like I lost ground (almost 7 months off from both), perhaps derma pen would give it a greater chance for my mid-scalp and crown? Also can't find any info on: - 12 pin cartridge vs 36 pin cartridge - Dr. Pen A6 vs Dr. Pen A7. Seems like the biggest difference is cordless vs cord and 8000 RMP vs 18000 RMP. Who knows if 18 000 rmp is actually better?

    I've seen incredible transformations and it looks so appealing, however knowing its side effect profile puts me off.

    Just made some pictures with wet hair mainly to see how my crown and mid scalp looks like. Been on Fin for almost a year now and as some of you might know I used minoxidil for a year before my HT. It did improve a bit, but once stopped I didn't really notice much change (stopped minoxidil over 6 months now). Does any of you guys used oral minoxidil, for how long and what dosage? I'm still deciding whether or not I should get on it. Potential sides are a bit more concerning than Finasteride. I would think these miniaturized hair have a potential to get thicker. Anyone with similar experience? P.S. I was quite surprised to see how well my recipient area looks like while wet (looks so much darker though!).
  22. Rolandas
    Thank you kindly! I'm just this kind of person who doesn't care what others will think of me and prefer to speak up. Oh, and also I absolutely enjoy editing videos. Been doing this here and there since I was 15, so I guess it's a great combination P.S. I secretly hope Dr. Ferreira will think the same way too lol
  23. Rolandas
    That's good to hear! I'm aware that from year 1 to year 2 hair should take characteristics of "native" hair and should settle down. For now I've got wires growing on my hairline
  24. Rolandas
    Thanks chaps. I hope it will turn up as good as you guys are hiping! 😁
