No scaring on the nape, no scabs
When you use a 0.7mm punch and ATP/Saline spray after surgery things heal extremely fast
Where do you buy the ATP spray?

Great result! But I see that the redness is not gone yet?

Yes that’s what a shed is. Hairs on your scalp will fall out to synchronise a hair cycle.
Just because you don’t apply them to some area is irrelevant. Human skins are very permeable and excellent at absorbing, the min/dut combo gets absorbed into your skin/bloodstream and affect your whole body exerting its effect although where you apply the solution has the strongest effect because of higher concentration of drugs.
Be happy about the shed because it means the drugs are working.
Thank you for your reply. I really hope so.

Thank you for the reply. I know about the shed. But is it normal that I shed good hair on the sides and the back of my hair? Even when I’m not putting the topical solution on it? That’s the thing that freaks me out..
I just don’t want to lose good donor hair for a transplant.

Stop freaking out. 3-6 months minimum is where a normal cycle happens can even be dragged out to 12 months
9 hours ago, A_4_Archan said:Dutasteride/Finasteride and Minoxidil are two common medications used to address hair loss. Dutasteride inhibits the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is associated with hair loss. Minoxidil, on the other hand works by promoting blood flow to the hair follicles, thereby encouraging hair growth.
When you begin using Dutasteride or Minoxidil, you may notice an increase in hair shedding during the early stages of treatment. This might seem concerning , as the goal is to prevent hair loss or stimulate regrowth but what you are experiencing is the opposite. There are several factors contribute to this.
Telogen effluvium - Hair follicles have growth cycles, with phases of growth (anagen), rest (telogen), and shedding (catagen). When a hair follicle is stimulated to grow again (as with Minoxidil) or when DHT's influence is reduced (as with Dutasteride), some follicles in the resting phase may enter the shedding phase prematurely. This is known as telogen effluvium.
Shedding is often a sign that the hair follicles are making way for newer, healthier hair. The older, weaker hairs are pushed out to make room for the new ones. This process is part of the natural hair growth cycle.
The shedding typically occurs within the first few weeks/months of treatment and can be scary.However, it's essential to understand that this shedding phase is usually temporary. After this initial phase, many people begin to notice thicker and healthier hair growth as the newly stimulated follicles produce stronger hair.
To see the full benefits of Dutasteride and Minoxidil, it's crucial to continue using these medications as prescribed by a doctor and to remain patient. Hair regrowth is a gradual process, and results may take several months to become noticeable.
In short, the initial shedding experienced when using Dutasteride and Minoxidil is a normal part of the treatment process. It indicates that the medications are affecting the hair follicles and stimulating regrowth. While it can be concerning, it's usually temporary, and with consistent use, many people ultimately achieve thicker and healthier hair over time. Always consult with a good doctor who has more experience with hairs ,preferably a hair transplant surgeon before starting any hair loss treatment to determine the most suitable approach for your specific condition.
I hope this helps you to calm your nerves..best of luck.

Hi,
I know its 'normal' to have a shed when you are starting with hair medication (Topical dutasteride+minoxidil in this case). But I'm very worried and hope anyone can help me: Is it also 'normal' that you shed a lot of good, thick, long hairs in the donor area (back and side of the head). I'm experiencing this at the moment and starting to freak out. I even cried about it, so maby also starting to get depressed.
Hope anyone can answer this!
PS: Im not putting the topical on the back of my head or the sides..

How much will it cost?

Hello fellow sufferers,
I really hope someone can give me some good advice or whatever, because I am slowly starting to get depressed.
I am a man of 35 and have been suffering from hair loss for a long time, since I was 18 years old. I want to do a hair transplant but first I have to make sure that the hair loss becomes stable.
Unfortunately, I still have not been able to do this. I have been on EssenGen-6 Plus (minoxidil+fina) for a year which did not lead to stability. I then switched to MinoDuta (minoxidil+duta) and have been using that for 3 months now. Unfortunately, this does not provide stabilitation either. I know there are pills to take, but am really afraid that if I start that I will have side effects.Does anyone possibly have any advice for me on what else I could try? I lose at least 100 hairs a day and use (a lot of) toppik to cover my balding head.
Thanks

Dear,
I have been using oral finasteride (1mg) for 6 months now, Unfortunately I still have no stabilization to date. The hairs are still falling out a lot, I do notice that a lot of small hairs are falling out now.
Can I now draw the conclusion that this medication has no use for me and that I can better stop? Or should I keep going till the one year mark?
I am really getting discouraged....
