  1. Have you tried oral minoxidil? IMHO I would not get another transplant at this stage. Going by your pics I think it just needs to be styled more. How old are you can I ask?
  2. These are great results and a great example why medication should always be the first port of call before surgery. 👌
  3. Taking any medication for your hair loss can cause a shed in the early stages.
  4. No. It's to test for any scalp conditions like Hashimoto's disease, Lichen Planopilaris, scarring alopecia, etc.
  5. Three months is way too early. It takes one year to reach full benefits. But sure, you can expect to see benefits before this.
  6. Probably by 5-6 months I noticed improvement. At one year I definitely felt the full benefit of thicker scalp and beard hair. My hair transplant just felt fuller all round. Same with my donor.
  7. Be guided by your dermatologist on the dose. 5mg is maximum. I didn’t start on this dose.
  8. Loniten comes in 100 tablets of 10mg. I just break the tablet in half.
  9. @track_rat this is becomes the greatest repair of all time. Already those ilL placed beard grafts in the crown by Eugenix are becoming a thing of the past! You are down the home straight now proving that guts, patience and determination does work. Super happy for you. The next surgery will seal the deal for sure. 👌💯
  10. Loniten 5mg oral minoxidil is $30 for a 200 day supply. That’s cheap!
  11. You have a lot of hair to keep so medication would be your first option. Going by this one pic I would say you are a Norwood 5 going to Norwood 6. At 65 your hair loss may well have stabilized. But if surgery is on the card then I would still be looking at medication first. All the best.
  12. I wore a hair system/patch/wig, etc for 25 years. Just use a normal hair shampoo and conditioner that ensures your hair and scalp is healthy. Don’t wear a hair piece at night. Have days where you give your scalp a rest by wearing a cap or nothing. All the best.
  13. Another surgeon for Norwood 7 patients that I would throw in the ring is Dr Sethi.
