Rocking the look with that new hair style Adrian! That is a very fitting look for you. Your new diet and exercise regimen has also made a world of difference in your appearance. You have such a youthful look now comparatively to even a year ago. Great accomplishment on all fronts!

Thanks Adrian! Your kind words mean the world to me. Especially knowing your story, and how long the road to recovery and full transformation took for you. You have been a true friend thoughout my journey and the rock I know I could always lean on over the past few years. I thank you for all the support and can only hope someday to meet you in person❤️

Hey guys! I wanted to wait and post again at the 1.5 year mark, as the improvements slow down considerably after 12 months. Although minimal, I have seen slight improvements with density and refinement over the past 5 months. I believe at this point, the final results are locked in, and feeling soooo good about it! The importance of patience from when I started this journey over 2 and half years ago has absolutely paid off in every way. When I go back to page 1 of this thread, I'm still shocked with how the old version of me is unrecognizable. My family and friends are use to the new me, but every time an older picture pops up somewhere they can't believe the vast change from the old me. A major check box in my life has finally been checked and become my reality. Time to close the book on this chapter of my life. I am so grateful to this forum first and foremost, because without the strength of this community, I could have never gone thru with it. For all the casual lurkers on this forum, my advice to you is to do more than lurk. Research, ask questions, post pictures, and get involved with helping others more than yourself. If you approach your own jouney that way, you'll have the best chance at success and having the backing of this awesome community to help you thru every stage and phase of it. Hats off to @Eugenix Hair Sciencesand this forum. I'm forever in debt to you! ❤️

Love the new shape of the hairline, and the crown, temple points, and donor are all where they should be at this stage. Looking great John!

Angling downward and backward is definitely the correct approach for temple points. I personally would not base my decision to cancel a procedure purely on that alone, especially when they are one of the few clinics that knows temple point re construction very well. No clinic is perfect, but it is truly the body of work that matters, and this thread doesn't represent that as its now been well over 3 years since that work was done. It seems like the only thing this thread is good for is anyone that feels like hating on the clinic and wanting to push people away from Eugenix. If your own research leads you to another clinic, go for it, but the overall exceptional results, and ethical business practices speak for themselves with Eugenix, and is the reason they have thousands of clients around the world with nothing less than elite results. They wouldn't be one of the most well respected clinics in the world if that was not the case.

Early stages couldn't be looking any better for you Adam! You have a long way to go, but trust me, it's a masterpiece in the making!

Even with wet hair in direct sun, its got a nice thick look to it! Incredible Adrian!

Wow, completely free! You must have left an incredible impression on him the 1st time around! LOL!!!!

Wow, incredible man! Congrats! HLC is by far one of the best clinics in Turkey. You chose well!!! Have you considered taking a topical form of Finasteride? A product called Xyon, is awesome for sustained release of Finasteride to significantly reduce systemic absorption. Might be worth a shot so you have an insurance policy for that gorgeous hair you now have😁

The updates keep getting better and better Adrian! For what you give back to this forum and everyone else you've come in contact with, myself included, you are without question the most inspiring person with the most impossible transformation that anyone could ever imagine. The final chapter is not done yet brother! Incredible!!!

Exceptionally clean work! Congrats! Dr Das is one of the best in the industry, aou should have a great end result. Now, the painful waiting game begins.

Looks great @Berba11!!! Did you have grafts added to mid scalp on your last go? If so, maybe it'll improve more in the coming months, as you normally get 3 or 4 hair grafts in those areas, and those grafts normally take longer to fully mature as well. If not, no biggy as it is such an easy spot to conceal. The subtle corner temples and temple points made such a difference in achieving a more youthful look for you. Very well done brother! 👏

Looks like you hit a homerun brother! Great decision having Dr Das complete the designing and slits. It will have an incredibly natural look to it when all is said and done. Waiting game is the toughest part but you'll get there.

Not sure if the word GORGEOUS applies here Adrian, but I'm using it anyway! 🙌

Looks amazing @MachoVato! I was actually considering these guys before finding Eugenix. They are definitely one of the best options out of Turkey for sure, and your results are a true testament to that. Congrats bro!

Kamran buddy! Would love to hear from you! Hope you are well brother!

Hey @Berba11!!! Thanks for pinging me bud! I just started a new job and have been knee deep in work, which has unfortunately kept me from posting much in the forum. I also wanted to wait a couple of months as the gains tend to be slower in the later months. Can't believe it's 1 year already! Its been a wild ride! I'm so fortunate to have made the best of friends throughout this whole journey. The transplant was honestly the cherry on top, the real gift was the journey to get here and all of you in this amazing forum. I could have never done it without all your support. I've seen so many oysters turn to pearls from the Eugenix team and I can't thank @Eugenix Hair Sciencesenough for changing my life in so many ways that goes well beyond ever just getting your hair back! God Bless🙏

@Knightrider, it certainly looks to be on-track at the 5 month mark. The months that pack the most punch for growth and mature are months 8 thru 12, so you are less than half way thru. Fairly balanced growth, which is always a good sign.

Really good, clean work all around! You got a marathon ahead of you, but you put yourself in such a great position to have the best outcome. 👌 Congrats!

Unbelievable bro! You are a new man!!! Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

I'm just seeing this one now and MY GOD, how impressive! Looks like everything grew and the graft placement for the amount of grafts used really maximized coverage and with your wavy/curly hair, the illusion of density is really working for you! Love it man! Congrats! Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

Thanks @GeneralNorwood! 😊 I believe I'm right around the 17 inch mark for neck circumference. I've been hitting the gym hard. 6x per week with HIIT and resistance training. Really feeling a lot stronger, but most importantly, the vast majority of my aches and pains are gone. And now that I have my hair back, I feel better now, than I did in my 20's. It's so easy to injure youself at my age, so I'm being very careful with heavier weights, and concentrating on slow reps, as well as incorporating bands. So far it has been an awesome change that my body has responded very well to.

You did good going to Eugenix! Give it at least 4 months before you start using any hair products. You have to give the newly implanted grafts plenty of room to breathe. You'll be very happy with the results in due time.

Would love to see the progress

Thanks @Shadman! My BPM went from 65 to 80 when I started taking 2.5mg. I've since cut it down to 0.625mg daily and that seems to have gotten me around the high sixty to low seventy mark. What I may have to experiment with is how I react to topical once I start microneedling. Since more of the drug will go systemic in the body thru better absorption, would that potentially cause the same issue? Also, I want to do more research around how resting heart rate is affected long term with the drug, and if it could have negative effects on your cardiovascular system over the course of your life. The biggest problem is that not much has been tested from that perspective. Until it is FDA approved for hairloss, I'm hesitant to continue on it long term. I would also say, after listening to Kevin Mann's clip on Oral Minoxidil, it got me thinking more about the overall safety of the drug for long term use. I've attached the link here if anyone is interested, and would love to have anyone's opinion on this topic, as I do consider this to be a very big decision on how I move forward with my home hair care.
