I’ve seen the lad Johns job from Dr Sethi, it’s growing so well after 5 months or so! His work is for sure well! And Dr Pittella’s work is unreal! Of course comes with the price tag to match

I’ve been rocking the SMP look for years now. I’ll be honest I see Dr Pittella’s results and I feel I have enough donor, beard and body to gain full coverage again. My plan is to work with minoxidil, prp and GFc for the next 6-9 months, have a look under the scope again and see if there is improvement. The minoxidil, prp and GFc will be into the donor also. Hopefully we will see improvement and we can make a plan 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi All, thanks for the info so far, will be sure to keep yous up to date with my finding. I would honestly only be interested in FUE, it keeps my future options available, for the unknown reason of a hair transplant not working for me, then it would allow me to SMP any FUE scaring and stick with shaved SMP look, going for FUT will prevent that. I have started minoxidil and also looking at oral minoxidil. I have sessions of PRP booked also for all over scalp, to see if this will help my donor area also. Sessions booked for every 8 weeks. I also have sessions of GFC PRP booked in every 8 weeks to work alongside. Every 4 weeks I’ll be in for PRP basically, alongside twice daily minoxidil. I have tried finasteride before but it’s not for me, I noticed sides when using. is everyone collective on splitting the hair transplants with a 12 month gap? One clinic actually said to me my hair characteristics can change in 18 months of having beard hair put into the scalp? Is this true? Thankyou! 🙌

Hi All, Long term viewer, but signed up this week as I am on the way to potentially getting a transplant. I’m nw7, got SMP but really would prefer to have hair. My donor is low, but have been advised my beard hair is ample to harvest. My research has taken me down a few rabbit holes for hours of who should do it, how many grafts, how many days. So I thought I would post here and hopefully get some insightful comments to help me understand view points and logic. I have been to many consultations locally and online, opinions and mixed and advice has always been yes we can do it. Just how much they can do and what type of coverage can be achieved. From estimations and also advice I need approx 8500 grafts. Clinic 1 say they can do only 3500 grafts in 1 day. And then look to do another surgery in 12 months, unsure how many they could take. Unsure if 8500 is achievable. Clinic 2 say they can do 4500 grafts in 1 day and a following 4000 the next day. Clinic 3 say they would need to be carried out over 3 surgeries. Split into 9 months segments. What I am unsure about is... Why wait 12 months in between? If the donor and beard is available to take, why would the process not be carried out over 2 days consecutively? I have heard , the trauma to the scalp, the blood supply to the hairs, the survival rate of the grafts. I see some results from India and Brazil with fantastic survival rates and fullness from 2 consecutive day treatments. (Results to view on this forum) Any input is appreciated. J

Amazing result! What Rx do you use minoxidil oral + topical? Thanks
