I think this is it more or less, after 14 months. Super happy with these results and I am sort 'proud' of taking this step. Hopefully it can help others with their decisions. 

Almost 10 months 😃

The hair is defenitely still improving in thickness and how strong it gets. Still happy with it.

Happy 8 months!

Not that much of a dirrence, compared to last month, I guess. Yet the hair feels a bit more natural I think. 

It's good fun to keep getting compliments when you meet with people after a few weeks or even months 😄

You don’t see a difference really? It looks fantastic man 

Ah yes for sure I can see results from te beginning! Sorry I meant compared to month 6.
 

But now I see the photos again of 6 months, I think there has been a little improvement in the last month. Hopefully it will remain. 
 

I do experience some hair loss in the last couple of days/weeks. For instance when I wake up and see my pillow. Could that be normal?

Comparing the pics to last month I can see a lot of improvement! 👌 thanks for the update 🙏

Thanks! And welcome 👍

Happy to share my 7 months up. I’ve been to the hair dressers again; felt awesome. 
 

My girlfriend can see the hair is starting to get thicker/stronger. I don’t see that yet, but maybe I’m too critical. 
 

Anyway, here are some pictures.

Results are looking great! That said, since you posted this more top-down angle to demonstrate your hair loss pre-op, and you had grafts placed across the full frontal third and midscalp, would you mind posting some similar angles of the current result as well? 
 

“After” photos seem to focus more so on just the hairline (which looks great!)

 

thanks 

Thanks for your comments! Ah yes I see what you mean. I think these photos answer your question?

We now seem to have x2 clinics ending in Genix producing good results 😂

Guess it's in the name 😝

That looks great for your age as they did not lower the hairline. You should be real happy.

Thanks ljpcarrera, I sure am! Before I even thought about having a transplant, I could not realise how big of a boost this can be for your self confidence.

YES! Today I celebrate my 1/2 years 🥳

In retrospect, the process went super fast. The first 2 months are tedious, after that everything gets more fun every month. I'm very happy with the result so far and if it gets a little thicker / fuller, I'll be back on the streeta as a very happy guy.

Here's an update:

- Photo styled a bit with some oil

Looking great man, I look forward to seeing your updates 🙌🏼

Thank you Melvin! I must say I am pleasantly surprised to have this result at this stage of the process. I hope it gets even better in the coming months.

Many thanks for sharing Tom. You are looking great at only 5.5 months post op! Can I ask who was your surgeon and what exactly is EssenGen 6+? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your compliments Gatsby.

It was Dr. Munib Ahmad who did the surgeon. I will update the intro of this topic with his name. 

I'm not sure if I am allowed to share an external link to the product EssenGen 6+? Is it a product of Minoxidil Max. If you Google it, it will come up. On the website is says: Essengen-6 Plus combines two FDA approved ingredients into one solution. It has 6% minoxidil and 0.05% finasteride. 

Right now: 5,5 months

I will try to update every full month from now.

5 months

Growth has been steady.

4 months

After 4 months I was already pleasantly surprised. I could also visit the hair dresser again!

3 months

After 3 months, the regrowth seemed to have started.

First 2 months
Unfortunately, you will not look your best during this period. Fortunately, the recovery went according to the normal pattern. After about 2 weeks a lot of hair fell out and I also had to deal with shock-loss. After 4 weeks I seemed to have less hair than before the treatment.

After about 2 months, the existing hairs had already grown considerably. In consultation with the doctor, I carefully shaved my head with the clippers. This looked acceptable again and I had the idea that the heaviest period was over.

EssenGen 6+
After about 2 months, I started to use EssenGen 6+ once a day.

The FUE
My hairline and coves have been updated and the front/top has been made a lot denser. We decided to create a natural hair line matching my age.

Hello fellow forum members,

On 16-12-2020 I had a FUE of 2,900 grafts in The Netherlands. I am happy to share my experience to help other members. Please note I have used the Google Translate tool. 

• Male
• 30 years of age
• Started thinning around 24
• Started balding around 27
• Using EssenGen 6+ 2 months after the FUE
• Sapphire FUE 2.900 grafts at FueGenix (The Netherlands) on 16-12-2020 by Dr. Munib Ahmad

This is my situation where you can cleary see a transplant is a must.
