After some great results from oral Minoxidil and Finasteride, I have decided to hold off on a HT for a bit. I am however very interested in SMP and seeing how much of an improvement I can make on my hairline. It's holding decently but I would like to thicken it up a bit. I have red / blonde hair which I would not be shaving, so I haven't seen so many SMP case reviews with my scenario. Based on these pictures, would I be a decent candidate and get some good hairline results with SMP? As always thanks for taking the time to read this and or comment on the thread.

Still debating a HT after good results from meds.
Kdegen replied to Kdegen's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks everyone for your replies. I appreciate you taking the time to offer your thoughts and insight. I think I will hold off on a HT for now and look into some hairline SMP and see if this is a good option for me to improve my hairline a bit without taking the big plunge. -

Thanks. My main issue is my hairline looks like trash sometimes unless I do my blow dry comb over, but equally don't want to rush into anything as I have seen people get it too early and then they are SOL later in like when it progresses. -

Thanks for that. Yes I am thinking very long term and I like your approach to this. -

Thanks. I actually have recently started taking Fin 1mg every other day and haven't notice any changed in my hair, (haven't ever had sides from it either, luckily). -
I'm 34 years old and have been dealing with gradual hair loss since my late twenties. Initially, it was falling out quite rapidly until I began using topical minoxidil back in 2018. Later on, I switched to oral minoxidil and finasteride after consulting with Dr. Pat in Bangkok around the middle of last year. I've seen some excellent results with the oral meds, and my hair has noticeably thickened up a lot. However, I still yearn for a thicker hairline, similar to what I had in the past, as well as a fuller mid-scalp. When I visited Dr. Pat last year (before the improvement), he recommended around 1800 grafts, and at that time, I believed I was progressing toward a Norwood 5 or 6. But now, I'm uncertain about how my hair loss will ultimately progress, making it challenging to decide whether to get a HT now or wait. I'm not necessarily seeking a definitive answer in this post, but rather, I wanted to share my progress with oral Min and Fin and see if anyone else has been in a similar situation, and what direction they took. As I am really up in the air on what to do. Before oral Min and Fin, (hair is wet in both photos, but slightly wetter in the first) After 18 months Current hairline:

It's really not a big deal. Its very easy to hide and many doctors are so good that it's barely there. For the amount of grafts OP needs and the better coverage FUT gives you it's a no brainer.

This might be a dumb question, but regarding the beard grafts, can you choose to have your lower beard (neck) hair extracted? What I mean is that I shave my beard to go with my jawline, can you have those lower grafts used? That would be a perfect 2 in 1 for never having to shape my beard again 😄. Great results by the way!

Sorry you're incorrect and quite misinformed. For amount of grafts FUT can't be beaten. FUE does not give the density that FUT does and anyone arguing that is just putting their head in the sand. There is no big nasty scar with FUT this isn't the 1990s anymore, especially with a doctor like Dr Path. Please do more research on the subject Gramatik.

Thailand hair transplant journey - 2468 grafts - Caucasian male
Kdegen replied to Jpaw's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
No, because I still do not see what you are seeing. You must not live in Thailand. 90% of Thai males have this haircut if they are over 25. I do not see any "wavy" results. You must be a regular on the Thai Visa Forum. -

I don't see the weave you are mentioning from Dr. Pong. I think you might be seeing things. He does very good work. -
SMP to thicken hairline and mid scalp? (With longer hair)
Kdegen replied to Kdegen's topic in Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
I have been on oral Minoxidil since April 2022. Previously I started taking Finasteride (1mg every day or every other day) since mid 2021. No side effects from either. Massive growth and thickening since adding oral Minoxidil. -

Hi guys. So I was debating a HT earlier in my hair loss journey, but through 2021-2022 I have found great success with oral minoxidil and finasteride. Even though things are looking a lot better I was also looking into SMP to maybe thicken my hairline even more as well as mid scalp area. I also have red / auburn hair. Has anyone done this with decent success? If I can pull it off, I can postpone a HT for quite a while. Please let me know what you think, I will attach some photos with wet and dry hair. Thanks!

How does your beard area look after extracting grafts from that area? Is there quite a visible mark?
