9.5 months in, life has completely changed in all aspects, hair is not a worry until I lose my crown or temples.

Now I can safely recommend and say that to me - Maras is the best.

Thanks everyone.

a few extra following an haircut today

Hey Just a quick update:

266 days post op

Thanks guys! This is only 6 months in so roughly 50% of the final outcome, ill keep this updated in months to come as more thickening and growth happens. 
i have to say using propecia + hair restorarion labs shampoo has def improved my crown and mid scalp to the point of no visible hair loss!

i tried using minox but got terrible blowfish face and some sexual side effects, all went back to normal after i dropped minox.

Coming in strong 💪 

Yup, although way too early to tell, but if it keeps on getting better then maras is truely a one of a kind artist at this🙏

I can see how this might make me forget I had hair problems to begin with!

About to enter month 4(115 days)

This is showing the excellent hairline design 👍🏽

Yes, you can see the hairline forming, although there are many gaps especially on the right side, probably singles that didnt come through yet, so itll improve further!

going to add a front picture for future reference.(107 days) 

mid front and right front side are lacking behind the left, hopefully this evens out in the upcoming months:) 

on a positive note: propecia seemed to have had a positive effect on my temples. 
also my crown shows a bit of improvement. But this topic is about my transplant so ill keep posting just about its progress.

Thanks guys youre all so kind🙏 While it is far from me being satisfied, I know this is looking good for the time! Hopefully this continues and evolves into a nice thick mane😀

Your looking really good for such a early stage. Iprf definitely does seem very beneficial ! Thanks for the update 🙏

If comparing to some people, my growth seems quite advanced for this timeline, but I would never know how it would have been compared to letting it heal without the shots. 
nonetheless, ive seen countless people who got it done with early than usual results. For me it was worth the extra 500$😀

Almost 3.5 months in now(100 days). 
Although overall everything is still thin and see through, its completely normal at this stage. 
 

Another good story: I got my last iprf shot (3rd in a series) done 2 days ago at the local BHR branch and the doctor was very interested in me returning in 3 months(6 month mark) to observe Maras’s result. He added to say that Maras work is some of the best, which was a very positive thing to hear. 
 

I will keep this update at 4 months.

Looking great at 5 months! Maras results are some of the top in the region IMO.

Showing some nice super early growth! Thanks for the update 🙏

Hopefully this keeps up! 
i got my last iprf shot coming up in a week. 3rd in a series. Hoping for another boost to an early mane !😅

3 months about to come in a few days, changes can be noticed weekly!

some weak spots on the hairline, but growth shouldnt even have started and my head is already filled in before 3 month mark, so no complaints.

Kinda amazing how I went from a slick bald shed to this in one month.

Looking forward for the upcoming months!

2.5 month update

Slight growth sprout post second iprf

Certainly seems that way. Dare I say more than It’s predecessor PRP. 

Yes, also Iprf is patented and PRP isnt as far as I know. Making PRP a black market where people buy the equipment from china and it literally isn’t prepared according to the right protocol, rendering it useless.

Great to be getting some growth already! The area doesn’t even look that red/pink either. Your more than on track 🙏

Yeah, Maybe you could attribute it to getting the iPRF done at the local BHR branch, but thats just a guess.

Maras told me there is no scientific proof as to its efficiency, but according to his experience it has a great impact on the healing\growth rate. 

2 month update

after shedding to almost slick bald in the recipient area, last 2 weeks there has been alot of new hair growth, especially in the middle region of the recipient area. 
Getting my second iprf injection tomorrow.

Thanks guys. Ill update at around 8 weeks , after I get the second iprf treatment. Probably there won’t be much to see besides subsided redness. Hoping for a growth sprout at 3-4 month mark🙏

After dealing with hair loss and researching premium clinics and surgeons for a while I decided to roll the dice on the operation.

General info about me:

30 years old male, dealing with hair loss since I am 22. I started using minoxidil around that age which seemed to reverse my hairloss for about 1-2 years, then my genetics overcame the effects of it and I started receding badly- at my temples mainly. my crown didnt start getting diffuse loss until I was about 27 and that's when it really started bothering me.  also quit minoxidil at that point.

I will include a picture about 2 weeks before the operation from the top and donor area:

The top one is in harsh lighting so that makes it look way less dense than it actually is in most scenarios.

1-5 weeks post OP:

I will include pics here in chronological order of both top and donor area. 

As you can see it seems like there is some shock loss around the back and side area of the donor. 

At around 3-4.5 weeks I lost around 90-95% of the transplanted hair it seems with a big shed.

I would also like to add my post transplant regimen: I started taking finasteride 1 week post op(1mg daily) . Minox 5% 1 month post op on crown area only. first IPRF treatment at recipient area 1 month post op. Will have 2 more IPRF treatments in the 2 upcoming consecutive months .(once per month)

Will keep this updated as months go by. happy growing to us all:)
