There is Many Mital who seems to be producing some interesting results and holds some potencial. I still feel that Europe is the way to go though because the quality here is still subpar compared to other clinics.

Same boat.

There is absolutely no way you can lose something after 11 months. At that point transplanted folicles are as anchored to your scalp as the native ones.

They are usually very responsive. If you message them via WhatsApp they should get back to you pretty quickly in an average weekday.

Looks good work for me, plus you got very thick hair behind from the middle and i'm sure you will get a great result. Hair Transplants usually are ilusions of density so your current hair is unlikely to match the original one but if you wear it long as I have all signs of surgery shall immediately disappear and no one will be able to tell you had work done. I wouldn't fret too much about rows as someone who isn't a fan of short buzzes.

Please, for your sake try to repense every single reason you might have to go there.

I started 3 days post surgery as indicated by my clinic. Would advise you to check with your surgeon though just to be in line with the clinics plans.

You're good, happy growing!

You're absolutely out of harm about 8 to 9 days post op lol. There's no way you can damage grafts after so long. Forget about it and move on.

I'm sorry to give you the bad news but when it comes to MPB it doesn't really matter if you wet your hair in the shower or not. If the 5AR enzyme ever finds your way to the AR receptors In your folicles, that means your hair will go off at some point regardless of the daily care you give it. I once thought that using a specific shampoo caused me hair loss then I switched and it only got worse. Switched it again until I realized that the issue was way deeper than I thought. Don't make the same mistake, stay on course and protect yourself from the need of getting a surgery if possible. Give 1 or 2 years to meds before commiting to surgery and listen to what @Gatsby said.

You need to keep taking so you can protect your native hairs from falling out. Transplants will merely improve on what you have but they won't stop you from losing any further, that is medication's job.

Honestly your hair looks great. I wouldn't even think for a hair transplant in your case. 2 questions first: Have you been diagnosed with MPB? If yes are you on medications? Please remember surgery is always the last resort and if both answers to the above questions are yes you should be looking for doctors capable of doing your hair type. You will need medication to prevent further surgeries down the road and ensure you don't receeed any further or lose more hair. A good doctor will likely give you a detailed look for what to expect when starting medical therapy. But it's always important to go back to the first question and ask if you have mpb at all which once again comes back in getting a good 1 to 1 with a professional specialising in MPB cases.

Honestly you're just fine. I wish I could be at that point right now and i'm far ahead of you lol.

5mg.

Bear in mind this is something that you should always consult with your particular clinic first. That being said I was told to start taking Oral Minoxidil around day 3, Dutasteride and Biotin supplements around day 10.

I will still keep it off for now, hopefully I can get some gains without the need of the needles.

A bit unsure about microneedling in general. I think there's very little evidence that suggest it works and I am also not into making my head bleed from it. For now I will keep these two medications and revaluate during summer.

Interesting. Seems like you are a hyper responder though to recover it so quickly. I am almost 7 months in and I am just starting to see it populate and get some more texture alongside my transplanted hairs. I haven't implanted any hairs in there so I am fully dependent in oral minoxidil + 0.5 MG of oral dutasteride.

Great showcase. When did you start seeing results in the crown?

AllDayChemist, 90 10mg pills that I can half everyday and last me 6 months. There are users from within the UK which used it and got great results if you are worried about the brand or source. Seems to be working well enough for myself.

Those are wild results. It really shows how powerfull Minoxidil is when absorbed orally compared to its topical counterpart. Praying to get the same results on the crown.

I stopped Finasteride after the second day of surgery and completed the swap to Dut a week later. Needless to say it didn't affect my hair one bit since its not enough time for the "trash hormone" to bind into your folicles. Howeaver this was done by my clinics request since they didn't want to overload my body alongside the medication I was already taking for the transplant and I was fine with it.

3 months is nothing, you need lot much more to make a proper evaluation.

I'd say even if its not its always better to use them then risk the scenario of getting it worse because some guys can go from norwood 2 to 5 in a matter of 1 or 2 years either their're 30 or 40 its just unpredictable. You really need to stop the desease before it gets through, best way of doing it is starting medical therapy and saddly there haven't been any advances for alternatives when it comes to keeping your hair indefinitely.

I think using Minoxidil alone is more delaying the inevitable. Saddly the long term data of Oral Minoxidil is a bit scarce at this point howeaver I have few doubts that in time DHT will take over the hair folicle and the hair will die. The problem is even how long this will take is also an unknown veriable since you can't really predict when will baldness get more or less agressive moreso knowing you aren't inhibiting the evil hormone causing this to happen. I am taking 0.5 Dutasteride and 5MG of Oral Minoxidil and so far it seems to be getting better.
