So just had my hopefully final 4th hair transplant at Fuegenix today
how I have not missed those numbing injections 😂
and now sitting up trying to sleep 😊
Yes very pleased but does make you hair greedy lol
i think minoxidil thickens up existing hair and dutasteride is similar to fin but stronger?
hair routine is just normal nothing special
luckily I had a thick donor as around 7.5k grafts have been used already 🤔
Tbh I haven’t tried
I have always styled my hair like this when I was younger so don’t know any other way
maybe I will ask my barber what he thinks 😊
everyone has commented how thick it’s looking now which is nice
cant decide whether to suffer another shaven head and going through it a 4 th time and getting the back redone 🤔
Nearly 3 months update
most of the existing hairs have grown back
no transplanted ones have grown yet
moving on to oral minoxidil every day and duta 2-3 times a week
Latest update nearly 2 months later
donor area looks surprisingly good considering I’ve had around 7000 grafts taken over 3 transplants
as you can see recipient looks awful due to previous transplant gone wrong and probably some shock loss
cant wait for new hair to grow
currently on duta and oral minoxidil every other day
Tbh if i thought the side effect was dangerous in anyway I would go straight to the doctor
I had read puffy eyes can be a side effect
personally I like to hear from people who are taking it and have experienced those side effects and whether they went away or not
i can then make a choice myself whether to continue or not
Funnily that’s what he said
but no
ive literally taken 2 pills over 4 days
no other sides
he suggested once a week and buildup
i may cut a 5mg pill into 4 and low does for a while
Hello all
just started on minoxidil tablets 2.5mg every other day
took only my second tablet yesterday after my hair transplant 2 weeks ago
i now have puffy eyes which is a known side effect
ive looked online but can’t find out whether this is temporary or it’s always like this once you have it
would like to know peoples experiences
thanks
10 days past transplant
most scabs have gone and have started shedding today ☹️
recovery time has been brilliant, I felt good after a few days post
in terms of redness and soreness to the first transplant is night and day
It started around 8 and finished around 2.30
much shorter time than first 2
less soreness and much less pulling and tugging
quicker recovery time as 7 days pass and feel good already
he also put all the different amount of grafts in order to place in unlike the first 2
going to see how it grows first and decide whether to do the crown
