Hl design looks simple but is one of the hardest thing. in any case, it is hard from some pics with shaved and bloated head if it is ok or not. In any case, for a fair comparison, can you post better pics? Something like your pre op pics

The hairline looks unnatural (when I saw the hairline design it looked very nice the first line is very thick and doesn’t match your frontalis muscle and the shape of your skull) and the density is low. oral minoxidil could give some issues, but at 2.5 mg I have never heard of anybody having problems.

I was suggesting to use oral minoxidil to see a quick improvement. i talked two weeks ago with a former hlc doctor. We both agree that an ht improves over one year but, in 90% of cases, you need just 5-6 months to see if it is a good or a bad work.

From what I see and from my personal knowledge, I think you will improve another 10-15% at its best. Are you on medications?

Wonder what is happened to hlc.

It is just a siringe with a small needle, very similar to prp. Sometimes I have prp and duta separately, one after the other. Other times, my doc mix prp and duta. There are not researches on the efficacy of the mix but some doctors say that prp and duta work in a synergistic way.

You will!

@Melvin- Admin is there a way I can add some videos?

Never had sides. the only time I had sides was when I didn’t find Pfizer limited and bought a galenic product. agter two days, I had edema all over my face. i tried to lower the dose but I couldn’t handles 2.5 every other day!

I was using 5 mg daily.

On the two Spanish forum you will find thousands of reports. they have a rep, Toni, that is very active there.

I think that oral minoxidil is the best single drug on the market. A real game changer. duta injections are great but we don’t have precise protocols on it so a skilled doctor is crucial. as good as it, duta injections can cause very serious, not reversible problems to the scalp.

About 1,5 year after ht. you can see that density and tho went to the roof. i have a couple of videos to see the final results but i can’t attach them. is someone is kind enough to help me, i will try to post videos.

Transplant time (Jen 2020) as you can see, I just lowered a bit and didn’t work on mid scalp or crown area…

After 1 year (before ht)

At 39 (2017) I was turning into a nw 5. i started to use fina (i have always used fina but was not very disciplined), used great amount of topical minoxidil, dermarolling and prp. The results after 10 months was very good but I didn’t recover my temples. i went for an ht at hlc Ankara. 2050 fu, just to lower the hairline and increase the density on the frontal scalp. right after the ht, I added oral minoxidil and Dutasteride meso to the cocktail. i spent hours with doctor Lorenzo Squillace to share researches and decide if oral minoxidil was worth the risk and if duta meso was a real thing or snake oil. at the end, we decided to give them a try… the density I got is almost unmatchable! hope that this post can help other people. here my pics in 2017

2 euro per grafts. they pay a great attention to hairline design and use the minimum amount of grafts possibile. the team is 3 female docs and one man. And their leader, doctora Espinosa, that is a sweet and humble person. they usually don’t work on temples (except the male doctor, I forgot his name). their ig page is very good. i didn’t book with them because the first spot was in April(with dicotoma Espinosa the waiting list is two years) and I didn’t want to get an ht is spring or summer time.

I knew that implanting among preexisting hair is hard because the doctor can demage the preexisting follicles. from what I knew, if the doctor puts a graft on the top of a preexisting hair, the preexisting hair dies (at the best, the preexisting hair is replaced by the new one. At the worst, both hair, the old and the new, will die). Today I read a statement from Bernstein that supports a different theory. He says that placing a graft on the top of another can be aesthetically not pleasing but both the grafts will survive. “The reason to wait until the hair grows in, however, is so that you can better plan the subsequent hair restoration procedure. If two follicular units are placed on top of each other or very close together, you will essentially be creating a mini-graft and the results will not look natural”. is he right?

He worked at medecap. I think that the doctors at MEDECP are great and quite cheap. Give them a look.

So, did you think fina could/should be take the day after ht?

I suppose the question has been done thousands of times but I can’t find any topic on this. Should fina be stopped before ht? if yes, when should fina be reintroduced after the op?

Did you stop 5ar inibhitors before or after ht? If yes, when did you start reintroducing fina/duta? about topical minoxidil: did you feel any side (irritation, flaking etc) from using minox right after the op?

Yes, dxxk.

Hlc is a geear clinic. The issue is that the use a lot of grafts so, of you are on a budget, is not ok for you.
