its true, i cant buy the whole stress causes hair loss thing when i run into people who have been sleeping rough for the past 10 years with nw0 and high density hair

i think prozac is the most hair friendly but dont qoute me on that, but dude trust me the hair loss from anti depressants is most likely temporary shedding and the hair comes back after a month if you stay on it, stay on fin or whatever hair loss prevention routine your on and you'll be ok. but stay on medication if you need it, its not worth worrying about the potential small shedding if it means risking your mental health

i dont think the hair loss is permanent also different ssris cause different amounts of hairloss im on zoloft and havent had a problem but im also not that prone to hairloss

i do not agree you can dermaroll at depths of up to 1-0.75mm for systemic absorption of topical drugs but these do not reach the stem cells bulge in the hair follicle that triggers hair cell regeneration and the growth of new hair in the hair cycle you have to be at a depth of 1.5mm or more usually to reach the bulge. the mechanism for dermarolling at 1.5mm relies on the addition of new growth factors to the hair during wound healing and the stimulation of the stem cell bulge in every hair follicle the affect is compounded with minoxidil, it is not just systemic absorption. also your skin heals wounds from dermarolling extremely quickly if it was sizeable in anyway it would scab up in a matter of hours

This isnt true you can dermaroll on days that you dont apply minox and still get the same benefits

theres definetly more nuclear options to get an even greater effect of course, like using topical RU or breezula instead of nizoral, with oral dutasteride instead of fin and combining minox with tretinoin + microneedling, but the "big 3" is the best bang for buck protocol when it comes to safety, cost and ease

the ketoconazole is a far far weaker version of a topical anti androgen like RU but is so weak that it could be comparable to a placebo, minoxidil is an actual growth agonist that increases blood flow to the hairs to offset the damage from androgens but only to an extent and finasteride stops the root cause of androgenic alopecia by supressing DHT

from the picture it looks like 10-20 grafts per cm but could be zoomed in a lot we will see the outcome in 6 months so im hoping it works out

thats way too spread out to look good

btw this was my skin 1 month or so post op and it looked fine the raised bump appeared after a few months

i feel kinda bad now being tagged in a post like this but it is what it is. im getting kenalog injections to flatten the surface of the skin, i cant tell if i have obvious discoloration as i havent shaved off my transplanted region to see. im looking into a second transplant so the bump should be invisible under the new hairline but hopefully i can get it flattened out with the steroid injections, btw it was completely flat 1 month post op and appeared around 4-5 months so i do suspect it could be scar tissue i read someone say it disappeared after a while for them so im hoping mine does as well. worst case scenario i have to remove the skin surgically

your a diffuse thinner the trauma from surgery wont be good for your remaining hair and i dont think any of the clincs in istanbul are great but dr bicer is the best of the ones your looking at

So how soon? Im getting a transplant from mwamba in less than a month and planning smp when would be ok to get it done?

also i heard you have to wait a year after a hair transplant for smp as the scar tissue is new and the skin is healing so more likely for the dye to bleed out and look like a smudge instead of a dot

Did you go to a qualified place for the first smp? I thought the dye never turns blue like tattoo ink

did the smp on the donor area not work out?

i know it must be very stressful but since your young and just started losing hair i think you could get a lot of regrowth if you start treatment soon

thats very strange your losing hair all over, you could have an autoimmune disease i would go to a derm and get it checked

No you might shed but it grows back

Maybe, but its better for shock loss recovery and faster hair growth

why is there a red outline of where your hairline is? is it scarring from the procedure? would it disappear if you used a razor to shave instead of beard trimmer?

where did you go? it help us give an answer

how much per graft to implant body hair into the donor i want to be able to do this with beard/chest hair in the nearish future and want to go with mwamba if possible

damn i wish you posted abou them in the past i went with HOI as well a year ago and regretted it ever since, they are experts at hiding their bad work

Id say shave to a buzz and try concealer at that length or shave to a bald fade
