Hey, Well thats the question. How is it judged? I'm 9 months into transplant. Obviously not there yet and a bit of work to do. But is that due to 0.5mg or is it due to just not being patient. How to people quantify the dosage needing to be increased?

Hi all, I'm 9 months post transplant. All looking fine. Lots of thickening to come I hope still but no issues. I've been taking 0.5mg daily of fin but wondered how I would know if I need to increase this to 1mg It's my first transplant and things move slowly so it's almost impossible to know if what I am doing is enough... How do people tell? I take nothing else. Tha.ms

Hi all, I am on month 6 post transplant and pretty pleased with the results. However, I moved to an Organic shampoo to give my hair the best chance. Now I get dry flaky itchy scalp and ive never ever had scalp problems in my 38 years. The below is what I currently use. Is there something better to try? I don't care about cost so much so anything you recommend ill give it a go. Even my wife used this below shampoo and noticed how dry and flaky her scalp was. https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/faith-in-nature-aloe-vera-shampoo-60038742?skuid=038742&utm_campaign=shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjw06-oBhC6ARIsAGuzdw2b9-oaddJit996n57b1Mk9tuioBqwPP7MfQMJcGaE0tE4cArr7f50aAsyeEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Many thanks

Well! My plan was to purely use LLLT every 3 years and nothing else. However, I've since been convinced to use Finasteride by so many people that I've now started it. The answer to your questions is that I don't know what works for me in a results sense as it's my first trasnplant and I have no Control group to compare against I was at one point under the impression that because the transplant came from the back of the head, and it hadn't been touched my Malte Pattern Baldness and DHT, that it wouldnt be susceptible to thinning and dying. If that is the case and I (like my dad) stopped receding at a certain point and I won't get balder than now, then in theory I shouldn't need anything in terms of tablets.

Hey, I thought 0.5 would ease me into it and 1mg every other day was a stronger dose as its more at one time? But I know nothing Are their any side affects with Ketoconazole Shampoo? Can give that a try if its simply just a shampoo.

Hi all, So I had my transplant on March 27th. About 7500 total, crown and hairline. As it stands, this is my current regime. 0.5mg finestride daily (2 months in now, should I move up to 1mg every other day?) I started small due to worry of side effects. 12000mcg Biotin/Selinium daily Multi Vit Daily Wash hair with Organise Aloe Shampoo and Conditioner 4x a week I don't want to take Minoxodil as well. Many thanks John

Hi, To cut the long story short. The clinic i saw and was put forward for a hair trasnplant from recommended LLLT only and kind of sold me the dream suggesting its all I would need. 4 months of LLLT then a few months every 4 years.... So i thought it would do the job. Your post has made me very nervous that im late now, so I will look to start finasteride asap. Do I need to see a doctor before I start. Can I not just order a couple months worth online and go from there to see how the side effects are? I have classic Male Pattern Baldness but it certinaly feels like its stopped or at least slowed down now that I am 37 (start at 18)

Hi all, Almost 2 months into a FUE transplant on the front and crown. All looks great, apart from the shedding phase. Ive been on LLLT since Jan and to be honest, im sick of spending 2 hours a week driving to the clinic to get it done and from reading here, its not the most effective solution long term. That leaves me with wanting to try finasteride. Im cautious as to what dosage to start on and how often but ultimatelly, I dont want to throw my transplant down the toilet by not protecting it and the hair around it. Questions: 1. If I take finasteride, then stop 12 months later due to side effects, what will happen. Will I have increased hairloss or simply go back to where I was 12 months prior? 2. What dosage is best to start on, and how many days a week? I take Biotin and Multivits at the moment so it could easily form part of the routine 3. Best places online to buy? UK Delivery Many thanks

Is it true that once you stop, all your hair falls out? Except the transplanted bit? Like, it's harder to start then stop then not start at all?

Thank you for your help. Yes I think I'll go fin and Min topical. Is there a "best place to buy it" I'm in the UK if that helps. I read that some you do once a day, some once a week etc. Assume I start 4 ish weeks after my transplant?

Hi Gatsby, They are providing the topical. I don know about them purely being about the money as I expect their reputation and reviews would go out the window in time if what they suggest is complete trash. But maybe you are right. I have heard back from the surgeon who did my trasnplant regarding their suggested method. (Not international Hair Studio) Quote from Dr/Clinic who did the surgery. - Keep good hydration -Healthy food -Stop the baby shampoo if you still use it, and instead use aloe Vera shampoo to maintain good hydration. -Biotin 12000 mcg daily tablet for at least 6 month (you can find them on Amazon if you like to) - You can get benefit from applying the combined scalp density maintaining liquid or regrowth , which is stimulant & DHT blocker lotion [Azaelic acid + Finasteride + Minoxidil] to stimulate and maintain / protect your hairs and to stimulate the sleepy / dormant hair follicles It comes in 6 month course from the pharmacy , the whole 6 month course is for £200 I have asked for the brand name so I can google it myself, so will see if they are forthcoming.

Hi, the trasnplant place didn't sell it but the guys who I went through, consulted with, booked me in etc do it. I've been having Lazer since start of the year in prep for the surgery and have it as part of my package until end of the year. Then they suggest to come back for Lazer in 3 and 5 years for a 3 month course of it. All sounds very beleivable. So I've gone once a week for 50 mins since December and sat under a LLLT, then drive home. Internationa Hair Studio is the company. The trasnplant clinic that they used and I used is https://hairgrowthcentre.com/ In Kenton, London. Was impressed with them. They suggest Fin, Min topic lotion going forward.

Thanks for the response. The plan was Lazer and speaking to the guy, Lazer was a very viable option. I guess reading more as you would do post surgery I'm seeing more and more people on a pill of some sort so it's making me nervous that Lazer won't cut the mustard. I'm 37 and the above picture in OP suggest my hairline. Been thinning for 20 years so possibly slowed down a bit?

Interesting you say topical can be tough go continue long term. If say you do moisturiser and brush teeth in morning, then a quick spray on the head seems easier to remember than a tablet. But good to know about the greasy. I will check Xyon now. I said go myself that I wouldn't do the transplant if I had to take pills with side effects, but when LLLT was sold to me, I thought Bingo! And went ahead. Seems that there's question marks over it though... Forcing me to risk the pills.

Hi, I notice you talk specifically about minoxidyl by its self. The only things ive been recommended are a mixture lotion of both Fin and Min. If I wanted say less than 1% chance of side affects but a quality routine to manage my hair, what would you recommend? Im trying to avoid making my hair a huge part of my daily life. Not a leave and forget but something simple. Impression I get is LLLT isn't quite proven yet... Thanks
