why can't you just take normal Fin or Dut? 

the at-large topical medication conversation on this forum keeps getting weirder and weirder. 

 

Side effects bro

Sounds like a recipe for disaster - 1mg of fin and dut each daily is huge exposure

as in temporary/permanent sexual side effects

Hi guys
I have an update on this and like to keep you posted since this forum has been so supportive.
I had a video call with Dr Arika yesterday. Dr Arika went through my pre and post op pics and she assured me this is not over harvesting, I just need to give this time. Re the other Dr comment of ‘not our work’ we have labeled it as miscommunication as the intent was not to deny. Eugenix has taken the responsibility.
After Dr Arika dropped off the call, post op team Yugbir and Kirtiman stayed on to share with me the Yugbir’s own journey. His results look great.
Dr Arika and her team has assured me that my Results will be very good and the patchiness will improve just need to give it time. They were very confident of their work, which was good to see.

At this point I like to say that my concerns have been taken care of and I will keep you all posted on the progress.

thanks guys and all the best on your hair journey

cheers

thanks please keep us updated.

how soon should you use it after a HT?

Ditto for me with sexual side effects so I had to stop.  I haven't tried topical yet but I've heard most still get sexual side effects from higher doses of topical.

Have you used any meds?

How in the world do you vape "weed"?...never heard of that before.

Lots of vape cartridges available where it’s legal. Some can be quite potent too 😁

“Hair transplant specialist” 

So not a doctor?

Looks good, how’s your donor area?

I haven’t tried topical fin yet but I’ve read people complaining about getting bad sexual sides with it. Seems to depend on dosage and how often you apply it.

Hi @Boomerang, 

I do not believe this is over harvesting as you seem to have had an excellent donor area pre-op. But I could be wrong, nothing is guaranteed

The extraction seems to be very balanced on the back judging from the post-op photos they took of you

I have a theory that by extracting so many grafts on separate days might have been traumatizing on your backside, not everyone's scalp reacts the same way and may end up with a different outcome to SHOCK LOSS.

 

This is how my donor area looked 1 month after 3000 grafts FUE in TURKEY. It was horrible and traumatizing. 

I believe after a few weeks later from month 1 it started to fill up. I think I got my first haircut at the end of month 2

 

        

 

Lucky for them (and me) my hair grew back.  Still to this day I have extraction scars larger than they should be. The extractions that I had from Eugenix were much smaller. None the less, I still cannot keep short haircuts but with some length everything is covered.

 

You have 2 choices,  wait for improvement and see what happens. Or else if the situation remains bad you must demand that your donor area gets fixed free of charge (most probably using beard grafts to fill in) You mentioned you are at two months, this is usually quite on the late side of shock loss but it can happen. I would remain calm for the next month or two months and then take action.

Good luck sir

what Turkey clinic you go to?

In my experience, hair shedding is a sign the medication is working.

even for Keto shampoo too?  I've noticed shedding since I started it.

Honestly, if you start Finasteride, Minoxodil, Microneedling etc. i don't recommend anybody go get a hair transplant until they roughly see how things shake out after 12 months. 

It means you usually will have a lot more stability hopefully if it's working for you and better chance of an outcome. 

I agree, but a HT may be the only thing that puts hair on an empty spot.

Got a fade cut today and it's interesting to note how bad my extraction looks.

At the time I got the surgery I was under the impression that it was a shock loss and a lot of people affirmed but it seems like my donor wasn't operated on carefully. 

Especially when you're just 1.4K grafts down. It shouldn't really look like this.

 

Did docs or techs do the extraction?

Too early... new hair may not sprout until 6 months or more.

Background: I’ve been on finasteride and topical minoxidil for 3 years, and my hair loss has been stable. I’d never see more than 5 hairs when I washed or combed my hair. 
 

I got a HT almost 2 years ago, and I’ve been growing my hair long ever since. I’ve been concerned that topical min was not able to get to my scalp due to having so much hair. So a month ago I switched to oral min. In the past few days I’ve noticed significantly more hair loss. I didn’t count the hairs but it’s at least 10 times as much. 
 

So now the question is, is oral more effective and I’m shedding miniaturized hairs that will now grow in thicker and fuller, or is oral not doing its job and I’m losing hair because my scalp isn’t getting topical any more?

Any harm in reintroducing topical min while also doing oral? Best of both worlds?

I'd talk to a doctor about it first, don't want to overdose on the stuff.

.

did she say how many grafts are needed?  she may have an extraction limit per operation to protect against trauma to donor sites.

Stay away from Dr. Berkowitz, his work is so bad that a certain NFL punter who use to play for the Lions is stuck wearing a headband every where he goes, don’t chance your emotional life with anyone who isn’t highly regarded! 

Sam Martin? He’s still on Berkowitz’s website.

My suspicion is that there are some representatives from Merck on this forum. There is no way of knowing for sure of course.But the fact is everytime anybody has made up his mind to not take Fin, somebody has to jump in.

Permanent sides may be very rare on Fin. I would not say that sides per se are very rare on Fin  in the long term. 

I doubt it since a generic version is now available.

Keep using it.  Don't make the mistake I did and lose more hair (and not get it back).

Why are you posting that here, this isn’t his thread. You can look up his thread on his profile. 

cuz I couldn't find his 1-year result photos

I can only assume Paleo had a decent result.
