Ginger, Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper etc when taken also help blood flow to extremities. Take in the form of tea or in the case of Ginger and Turmeric you can eat the root.  Garlic also if you can handle the odour.

Thanks a lot I never heard of this !

Any other way to improve scalp circulation does anyone know ?

Hello,

As I was researching the web into hair-loss treatments I found numerous citations from doctors and clinics saying that bloodflow to the scalp is the key to healthy hair.

As blood keeps the healthy hair, blood vessels up there do that too, healthy transplants need lot of blood flow to grow the recipient, etc.

Available remedies for increasing blood flow in scalp

Unsurprisingly, amongst the popular remedies against hair loss are:

* Inversion method to physically instils higher blood flow to scalp
* Scalp massages to stimulate blood flow
* Caffeine, popular stimulant in hair growth serums
* Derma rolling to prompt  micro wounding and production of collagen as well as improved blood flow
* Castor oil with its main active ingredient being ricinoleic acid, which activating receptors in hair follicles

All these aid the proliferation of stem cells to support new hair growth, as well as strengthening existing hair follicles. Hair miniaturisation commonly associated with ageing, have also been repeatedly reported to go into remission after topical stimulants for blood flow have been introduced.

Now my question is, do you know any good ways to increase bloodflow to the scalp ? we would help each other in this way,

Thank you

1. PRP is just a therapy. It could boost the effects of other treatments like medicines etc. It cannot be taken as a treatment in itself. 

2. Laser treatment and red light are just for cosmetic purposes most of the times with no scientific evidence or proof for support during hairfall or baldness.

3. If you are experiencing Androgenetic Alopecia then you should consider taking Finasteride to prevent any further progression of the same, i.e., after consulting a Dermatologist.

I d rather have no scalp than take finasteride;

as I saw reports of permanent erectile dysfunction after intake of finasteride,  problems that popped randomly after months or years of finasteride workinggreat!!

and effects that never stopped or resulted in suicide of the person; I d rather have a sexual function.

Thanksss

opinion ?

I mean; the native hair, the one who might fall after hair-transplant, the one who was still up when we had the transplant;

Can it be held / protected by PRP / laser treatment / red light in any way  ? If yes, can you provide proof /real photos with people who had results, not advertising from clinics ?

Thank you,

Davis. A

statistically only 1.7% of people experience side effects.  of course, out of millions of people who take it, there will be people with side effects who start forums about it.  you are showing us only anecdotal evidence that is in the fringe minority .0000001%, might as well tell us not to go swimming in the ocean, because you will get attacked by a shark. lol. 

Lastest research shows 25 % with more probably not reported and some brecause of unknown cause of their problems (many people in third world countries or poor countries don't know what's causing their penis to die  / depression / suicide tendency etc)

Do you have any idea how many killed themselves over prophecia permanent erectile dysfunction ?  Carry on mate, say it's just poison for some, don't be amazed when it hits you randomly as it happened to my buddy

The only reason this drug is still legal is that idiots put millions into Big Pharma, and Big Pharma cannot be touched for how many it gives to USA economy

Is that so ? Follicles won't be affected by that, after hair transplant I do myself a rough massage with my hands on all the scalp and that is not mild at all, it's brute force, still the grafts wont be damaged... because it's 2 months since that

Alright

I am a hater cause I wanted to help make him aware of such dangers of finasteride, whatever 

Carry on guys ! take finasteride as it has no sides, it's safe

/outofthisthread

You don`t really get what I say, do you ?

There are loads of people who experienced sides randomly after some time and those sides never went away after stoping the drug. This is the REAL concern

I have no idea why this drug still exists and it`s legal thou

At the same power ? I doubt it...

Be aware that finasteride syndrome can hit anytime to people on it, as many reports were on finasterid survivors forum....

Yeah in the initial hairline, makes it look stronger and thicker 

why would you posts results with topikk in it ? just show us  the natural hair

Impressive results but why risk your life with finasteride ?

I know someone who commited suicide after 3 months use of finasteride and on month 4 he developed permanent erectile dysfunction ,,, 3 years of agony and nothing not even viagra could give him an erection anymore. He posted on finasteride survivors before his death.... I think it doesn't worth the risk mate, you can get that erection bomb anytime  from these drugs

Hello, so these are the pics - post OP, this is month nr 2 and to this day I have lost not one single hair for some unknown reason.

I am not on propecia or whatever else medicine and never plan to do so considering the potential desatruous effects that it might have on sexual function, brain, etc.

I will try to find pre - OP photos and post there here soon. The situation looked somewhere to mild near severe, I had lost temples, the crown area had a hole in that spot where people get balding and hairline receeded a lot.

This is the result done in a clinic in Istanbul, not sure I am allowed to post the name so it will be private.

Hair was shaved with measure 3 clippers one week ago and the photos were taken today. Hair looked bit different in growth as in there was a vertical line in the center of the scalp that was less hairy then the rest, also less hairy temples too, you can see that if you look carefully in the photos aswell (shaved scalp now to nr 3)

In the last photo I highlighted with red the areas where my hair was not grown so much before shaving it to nr 3 (it looked in the red areas like hair was rare compared to rest of scalp)

Here are the photos :

my questions are why I had no shed after hair transplant ? and if there are REALLY any supplements needed to take as many many clinics recommend tons of vitamins and minerals etc but I`m not sure if that is needed or not for the best result.

Thank you

Interesting, good answer, if you are right then most clinics recommend pills for .. nothing ?

I mean there was a thread around with indian patients who had to take like 10 - 20 ingredients in a supplement, from iodine to molybendum ? copper, folic acid, d3 , a, e, b6 vitamins, panto acid, etc ,etc.

Is that all really useless in the healing  -growth period ?

DHI hair transplant

Post OP month nr 2.

Total grafts : 4700

I will try to find the pre OP photos, the hair loss was prety bad. Temples were gone, receeded a lot and there was a hole in the back of the head - crown bald spot (you know that spot)

Hair was shaved 1 week ago with measure 3, it kinda looked a bit different leveled like a straight vertical line with less hair, centered in the middle and less on temples too, as you can see there is less hair on temples than rest

2500 grafts max

There are a couple of things that happen during a procedure. 1st there is the shaving of the donor.  (There will typically be a short stubble along with the follicular unit so the clinical staff can grab it and transport it to the recipient site the doctor made).  Each time the doctor makes a site, there will be a bit of blood. A few days post op this blood will dry up and turn into a crust.  And, as this is happening, the short stubble continues to grow.  At 7-10 days most recommend scrubbing off.  This is when the "stubble/hair falls off.  Some people call it shedding but this is incorrect. From time to time the hair just continues growing - which seems it's what happened in your case.  This means absolutely nothing except you are 3-4 months ahead of everyone else. (Eventually this same hair will fall into the shedding routine.  This will happen to all the hair in your head throughout your life...not all at the same time but in intervals).

There are two types of loss.  The one you see and the one you don't.  The hair you see in the tub, sink, floor, pillow - is normal.  The follicle gets tired of producing hair and it takes a vacation.  That hair eventually will return.  The hair you don't see is hair loss.

Go to the mirror and look at your temporal areas.  You'll notice the caliber of each shaft. Some are thick and robust while others are very fine.  As the strand becomes thinner and thinner, (called miniaturization), eventually the hair does not seem to grow and eventually dissipates and disappears. 

As far as medical therapy is concerned.....If you've shown the propensity to lose, you will continue losing.  It is imperative you do some type of medical therapy to help you retain and perhaps enhance the native hair.  (Meds are not intended for you to re-grow anything.  Nothing out there regrows hair.  It is intended for you to keep what you have and hopefully thicken up the miniaturized hair). Propecia, Rogaine, Laser and PRP are the modalities we typically discussed.  The mechanism of action of each is totally different and are thus, synergistic.  Hope you're doing something otherwise you'll continue losing hair and have to return to do more grafts and never improving density.

I ve seen people : example be it Zabit Samedov Azer fighter who has super good denisty and had only 1 procedure,

I doubt that fighters like him can be on propecia or finasteride, whatever, so do you think it cannot be possible to have good denisty after first transplant ? there are other cases of such people that don't take finasterid and still they get nice results. What  causes this ?

I see but why iodine ? there is a guy around these forums who has a supplement containing more than 20 ingredients soo

CONCLUSIONS:

These data suggest that follicles in the telogen phase can be induced to enter the anagen phase by the topical application of T3. This thyroid hormone may reverse graying of the terminal hair. In the in vitro experiments, T3 stimulated hair shaft growth. Follicular melanocytes may be the target cell for these actions.

Hello, so I`ve had my DHI hair transplant 2 months ago and the doctors gave me a medicine there, containing zinc , copper ,iodine, folic acid, b12 and other stuff, while most people on these forums say that no medicine is needed after hair transplant, but i see many threads here on people getting tons of supplements from their clinics after hair transplant.

So my question is simple, is anything as supplement needed after hair transplant for good results or not ? if yes which are those vitamins and minerals needed ? tx

??

Sir you haven`t even answered my question........ can anyone here do that please ?

I asked for something else..
