Redhead

12 months mark. Still a bit red. I think it's better now then before. I've tried micro needling like 3-4 times and it has help with the bumpy texture and also (I think) the redness. I will keep micro needling a few more times and hopefully get rid of the cobblestone. I'm on the hunt for a new surgeon that can smooth out my transplant a bit. I need more single hair grafts thats not so "strong" because now it's a bit obvious that I've had a transplant. Do u guys think Fuegenix (Dr. Munib Ahmad) would be a good choice? I've seen some great results posted here by Dr. Munib. Let me know what u guys think.

Thanks for all the great information, I hope Redmann also read this. So did u also do the Genius RF on the scalp or just your neck? I've started to do some micro needling at home (one session). I will try to do like one or two sessions a month and see if it help. If it dont help I'll speak to a clinic so they can do the micro needling.

Thanks for the reply! So u mean that the Vbeam does not effect the hairgrowth? If that is the case maybe thats a good option.

Thanks for all the replys! Here is the update. I visited mwamba last week and we discussed my problems. He said that my scalp is pretty dry and maybe that could contribute to the redness so he recommended to try to fix that before we make any futher actions. Im currently using some "better" shampoos and also keto curtizone shampoo so I can fix the flakes. I asked him about the density and hair placement aswell because it is some double grafts in the front and a bit patchy in some places. He said that the growth hasnt been very good but when he looked a little closer he could still see some hairs coming so he thought maybe I was a slow grower. We also talked about the cooblestoning/pitting but he didnt really adress that so much. He said that I should use the "strataderm" cream. I've used that before but I havent really seen any imporvments but I'll give it one more try. I will do this for 3 months (fix dry scalp and apply strataderm) and then I'll get back to mwamba. I'm thinking about trying microneedling to smooth things out. I guess it should not be a problem 9 months post op. What do u guys think? Is it wise to wait 3 months and then see how it looks and take it from there? As I feel right now I think I need another transplant (which sucks) but I'm not sure that I will do that with mwamba. Nothing against him, he is a great person but I dont really think the "result" was so good in my case YET.

Yeah, you are probably right. I will come back with an update in a couple of weeks when I have spoken to mwamba and seen a dermatologist.

9 Months update (1 week before consultation with Dr. Mwamba). I've taken pictures with some different lighting. I agree with u that the denisty is okay for the most part. What Im most concern about is the redness and that it does not look natural (at all in my honset opinion). I've also taken some pictures with downlighting so u really can see the pitting/cobblestone. And unfortunately it looks like I got more from the last transplant with dr mwamba. Maybe Im just having to high expectations, I dont know. Please let me know what u guys think.

I think this was taken 8 months in. I'm going back to Bryssel in a week so then we will see what mwamba says. And after that I will probably see If I can find a dermatologist.

Okay! I’ll see what Mwamba have to say first. Thank you for the tips!

I will wait and see what dr Mwamba recommends. And then I’ll see if I can find a good dermatologist that have some experience with hair transplants or at least know what it is haha!

We discussed it when I was there and we both tought that the best thing to do was to lower the hairline a bit to hide the old transplant. Its been 8.5 month since that transplant and im beginning to worry a bit. Thats why im going back there for a checkup. My experience with dr mwamba is good. So i hope it will work out fine!

Its better on the sides but its quit thin in the middle still. No, he dose not know why its red. Thats why im going back there. I just think it Can be due to the cobblestone.

Hello! Ive had 3 transplants in total now and I really dont know what to do. The first one was an absolute butcher job by dr diep back in 2019. Im glad that its a bit better now. My biggest issue now is the cobblestone and the density. The cobblestone makes my skin uneaven and red. I also think that the hair in the front are to thick. My last transplant was with dr mwamba and im going back for a consultation soon. I dont know if he is going to remove some grafts or something else. If it wasnt for the Redness and cobblestone (and a bit of density and finer hair) I would be happy. Ive lived with this now for a couple of years and i have been quit deppressed about this situation. Its somewhat better nowdays but its hard not to think about. I hope u guys have a great start in 2023! Cheers!
