FinallyHT

Just to be safe, there is no concerns with using a steam room/sauna ten weeks post hair transplant, correct? 

I was worried about temporary shock loss. But I guess a good surgeon, knows how to work between existing hair. 
 

Once the new hairs grow in, I should have an insane amount of hair. 

Day 75 

Its been 8 weeks/57 days and I have about 8 grafts that have not fallen out.  Is this normal? 

This was day 20. (I’m on day 78 now.) I hope my hair looks like this in a year. 
 

Before. 

2019 HT

2023 HT. 

After my first HT. 

I’ve had two transplants for a total of 5800 grafts. Based on these recent photos, how many grafts do I have left?

I came across this Rogaine review. I did the same thing a few years ago and I believe I got similar results. Furthermore, it seems that liquid works better over foam.  
 

“Been used Rogaine topical solution for almost a year. Twice a day , every day . I had some results within 2 months but nothing to write home about. Then I tried wetting my scalp in the shower towel drying then quickly applying the solution. My results doubled ! Then I took it one step futher and applied it in the steam room at the gym. Results got even better. The new hairs start off fine and white but later gain color and thickness. Presistance is the key ! Don't expect a miracle right away and stick with it. GOOD LUCK !”

Do you think a tretinoin and Minoxidil combo will be more effective? 

it says 0.03 percent.  But the question is does Latanoprost do anything?

What about Ro's product that adds trenoniton plus Minox? Does it work better?

Do any of these topical drugs have any validity?

Finasteride actually prevents prostate cancer. 
 

It also slows the aging process.  I’m 40 and just this past week, three people thought I was 25 years old. 

Hair only grows half an inch a month.  Give it some time.  see how it look in 5-6 weeks.

I've been on finasteride for 17 years. 

I don't think topical 0.1 percent is as strong at 1mg oral.  I'm not sure though. 

You will likely need another HT down the road given your age. I just had my second one. 

testicular pain can be something else. Did you see a doctor?

Microdosing MWF of fin or dut is probably better.  What is your age and hair loss so far?

I knew I looked good with my pointy hairline.  But I am not sure a straighter hairline would be as nice.  Hair loss is about losing one's identity and how they remembered themselves prior to hair loss.  My identity to me was my extreme V hairline. 

I was born with that pointy hairline. 

A couple of better photos. Before and after. 
 

Yes, that’s my natural hairline!
