Thanks mmhce I missed this respons initially, I'm pretty sold on Bio Oil for the time being, I just needed to know if the Oil could potentially damage existing hairs around the donor area where I apply the Oil. I will do some research on folligen, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the replies but apart from PGP's post it has gone a bit off topic. PGP says the ingredients in Bio Oil will not affect or harm existing hairs around the scar is there a doctor around who could confirm PGP's response. Thanks

Hi There, I have just started treating my donor scar with Bio Oil, I have read a lot of good reviews about this stuff in regards its help in reducing the appearance of scars. I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it would have a detrimental effect on the existing hairs that surround the scar? I hope there is someone here who could help with this question as I don't want to cause any harm to my existing hairs by using the oil. It is a oil and here is its full list of ingredients: Paraffinum Liquidum,Triisononanoin,Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate,Isopropyl Myristate, Retinyl Palmitate,Tocopheryl Acetate,Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil,Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil),Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf OilCalendula Officinalis Flower Extract,Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil,Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil,BHT ,Bisabolol,Parfum,Amyl Cinnamal,Benzyl Salicylate,Citronellol,Coumarin,Eugenol,Geraniol,Hydroxycitronellal,Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde,Limonene,Linalool,Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone,CI 26100 Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. My pocket is relieved to here that splitting the tablet should give me the desired amount. I went to go see Dr.Williams (NV) in person and sent pics and details to Dr.Alexander and Dr.Keene (AZ). I believe I was given sound advice by all three, much the same as my replies here. This is one of the reasons I delayed my HT because I thought I might try and thicken the graft area up with Finasteride. I think from what I have learnt by reading this site and what I have been told that it would take two HT's to cover the bald area. The first would deal with the hairline and front which I have been told that I could get decent coverage with the graft area I have (2 - 2.3K), the second would deal with the crown and back area and because of the elasticity of the/my skin I could get a further (1 - 1.5k) for that. It's this that concerns me, I'm not too bothered about thickness of the hair but I would want a natural looking coverage. I will keep taking the pills and hope it can improve what I have. I will post pics soon and would appreciate any feedback, Thanks again for the replies.

Hi All, This is my first post here, hope you are all doing Ok. I'm looking at getting a HT in about 5-8 months time. I was planning on going ahead and doing it sooner but after I contacted three surgeons from the Coalition I decided from the feedback I got that I should probably try and thicken what I have by using a Finasteride. I am probably a Norwood #7 and was told by one surgeon who I saw in person that I have a full strip of 2K-2.3K grafts and maybe 1.5k grafts around 8 months from the first graft removal. To help try and improve on that I decided to start taking Fincar which is a generic of Proscar. I have since learnt from two of the surgeons that splitting a 5mg tag might not be beneficial. For instance I'm thinking that if I split it four ways I should get 1.25mg which will give me my needed daily 1mg but I have been told that for example it's possible that one quarter of the tab could contain 3mg, a other quarter 2mg and the other two quarters 0mg because the majority of the actual tab is made up of filler! For Finasteride to work one must take at least 1mg of the stuff per day, so my question is to anyone who is splitting their Finasteride is it working for you? Or can anyone else shed any light on this. Should I just drop the Fincar and start taking Propecia or a generic of Propecia this way I am guaranteed my 1mg a day. Thanks.
