Hello guys, opinions please.
I am 34 years old.
I have tried topical minoxidil twice over the last 4 years, each time for around 9 months. The first time, I used it twice a day and felt it worsened my situation. The second time, I used it only once a day with no effect.
I've been taking finasteride (7 mg per week) since November 2022. Initially, there were small improvements, but since then, there has been no change. I intend to lower the dose over the next few years and eventually stop it long-term.
I had a hair transplant in September 2023 at HLC with 3260 grafts.
I believe I am not the fastest grower, but it seems like it will get there. If hopefully all the baby hairs grow, it will result in good density.
My next appointment in April (I know I should wait longer, but otherwise it's not possible this year.) is for the tonsure, with 3000 grafts planned at 40 grafts/cm². It's a bit strange because I found an article on their website stating that 30 grafts/cm² is enough for that area.
Pros:
Good support for German speakers.
Polite and relaxed staff.
I never felt like I was in the wrong hands.
Graft extraction was done well; not even my barber noticed anything had happened at first glance.
Aftercare instructions were simple but effective.
Cons:
Only 2600 grafts were initially planned, but in the end, I was given the option of 3200 or 3400 grafts.
The entire planning procedure felt a bit rushed for me.
