    Hey @JohnAC71, thanks for checking in! I don't have good photos at the moment - I feel that clicking good ones is a two person job 😅 Sharing a couple of recent selfies. Clicked after a shower + shampoo, after drying the hair. Natural light.

    Thanks @Melvin- Moderator! Least I could do for the forum 🙂

    @ADil Looks on track! The growth will surely pick up in the 3 to 5 month window 🙂

    @Alejandro Essentially supplements but taken in a "cyclic" fashion - perhaps this helps the body metabolize them efficiently. For instance, I take these nutritional supplements in a weekly cycle. Calcium and vitamin D on Monday and Thursday, iron + others on Tuesday and Thursday, etc etc. Go for it man 😁

    Hang in there, @Naveenkumar. Only going to get better from here

    Update at 5 months / 157 days / 22 weeks I've seen good growth in the last 2 months. Overall happy with how things have turned out so far Also feel that crown and back half of the mid-scalp have responded favourably to minoxydil + finasteride. I am a little concerned about hair fall since the last 3-4 weeks - mostly existing hair from sides and back, but some transplanted hair as well. Perhaps its just regular, expected hair fall. I'll keep an eye on this for another month and check-in with Dr Arika at the 6 month mark. Medication (same as last time) - 1. Oral Finasteride 1mg daily2. Topical Minoxydil 5% solution. 1ml twice a day (brand: regaine)3. Multivitamins, including biotin 5mg. Cyclic.4. Shampoo on alternate days. I use a regular mild shampoo (brand: dove) and ketoconazole 2% shampoo (brand: arcolane) alternately5. Aloe-vera and amla juice dailyI also started working out 2 month mark onwards (moderate weights, jogging / running). Switched to vegan protein supplement (used to take whey based earlier). Photos -(I've marked "L" to indicate my left side - since the photos are taken from both selfie and primary camera)

    Looks good @ADil. The photos at day 10 were very promising. It's a waiting game now. The fact that you had the HT done at a good clinic should keep you assured of the results (as opposed to waiting anxiously for the 6th / 8th / 10th month mark to see if your HT would yield good results).

    Top-class! Congratulations @Naveenkumar Also huge credit to you for making the correct choice with Eugenix. There are so many HT clinics in India, each one promising 100% satisfaction, at such cheap prices. It's really difficult to not fall into trap of picking a cheap, next door clinic! So kudos on picking Eugenix. Wish you the very best, and happy growing 🙂

    Fortunately the baldness has not progresssed deeply into the crown yet. Hope I'm able to save what's left with medication. Thanks for the good wishes, appreciate it

    Update at 3 months / 92 days / 13 weeks So far so good! The transplanted hair are "pre-mature" right now, because of which their contribution to density is little. This is expected to improve as they mature over the course of next few months. Current medication / therapy - 1. Oral Finasteride 1mg daily 2. Topical Minoxydil 5% solution. 1ml twice a day (brand: regaine) 3. Multivitamins, including biotin 5mg. Cyclic. 4. Shampoo on alternate days. I use a regular mild shampoo (brand: dove) and ketoconazole 2% shampoo (brand: arcolane) alternately 5. Aloe-vera and amla juice daily I also started working out 2 month mark onwards (moderate weights, jogging / running). Switched to vegan protein supplement (used to take whey based earlier).
