I am speechless! Great...Best result I think I have seen on an NW7 with these less than favorable hair chracteristics!

You mention that his donor was 'POOR', yet you still managed to extract over 7,800 grafts from his scalp.

Can you speak to how you managed that? Is it just carefully planned homogenous depletion?

I got literally to the limits of the donor area: to the limit next to bald area and neck, to the limit of the remaining density in the donor.
The objective was to intentionally lower the density of the donor area beyond the 'recommended' limit in order to get a uniformity/homogeneity in the areas i've covered.

btw
Did you comb through video?

I would say: 

1. The yield must be very high.

2. The graft placement must be done intelligently so that the hair can layer properly when grown out.

3. Also, the extraction must be done very carefully and gently so to preserve as much donor as possible.

good 🤩

What is the secret, Dr. Pittella?- How did you make someone with close to NW6 hair loss with fine hair and not great donor look so full?

 

😁

Fantastic result. What is the clobetasol used for?

for control of malassessia globosa and also oily skin that may increase local dht

How did you manage to extract close to 8K scalp grafts on someone with 'average/poor' donor? Do you have a picture of his donor area pre and post procedure?

Is there any chance you could show the donor region...?

Agreed I’d love to see donor pics there’s no doubt the top looks fantastic 

As requested. Here are the pictures from pre and post FUE from donor regions:


This last picture is AFTER wet. Unfortunately I dont have BEFORE wet of donor area. Sorry for some low quality pictures. Not intentional. That's why i prefer videos instead.

So is better to consult first some of doctors who perform HT/Dermatologist before start with these medications...

Indeed you should consult with a doctor in order to star oral minoxidil. 

16 minutes ago, blackislback said:

is at all possible at pharmacy get these medications without some receipt by doctor?

Finasteride may be. But oral minoxidil not possible.

Wow impressive comb through fantastic results, do you find that your patients react well to oral minoxidil? Do you recommend topical finasteride at all to your patients?

2.5mg minoxidil mid may rarely cause side effects, but the pacient needs to be aware that it should be interrupted if any side effects is noticed. I do not recommend 5-ARI (finasteride etc), not even topical or mesoterapy.
