The only HT I regret is the first one I recieved from Bosley and not through Dr. True

GOIng to keep it short n simple. Well as best as possible lol. Just purchased Dermatch. Is it true best way to apply is with a fine toothbrush? Does it work great right in front? I spike my hair up and have some see through in the front, I have alot of native hair on top so thats not really the problem here. Ive read alot of topics and this n that. Im looking for some quick help sorry i had to run thats why so vague thanks guys ttys

dhoose- awwwwwesome leg seperation brotha. Looking at that pic thats the first thing I said to myself. Could use a little calf work haha What was your weigh in...70ish? I just came off a 2 week break, give me a month to get back on my game and Ill post some pix. Only problem, Im not going to be tan Which you know is a big deal! Bill- you certainly dont have to starve yourself grilled chicken n skim milk baby, o yea and water lol alllllllll day long No carbs! thats that

dabuski- laser light focus lol i like that yea I really take a passion in what I do. I just train, not as career or any of that sort. Just love it But completly right, what works for one person wont work for another. Your body is weird science and you must figure out the right compound. Tough stuff takes a while. But as long as your slingen weights and gettin in n taken care of business, then thats A ok in my book alot of people think lifting is just ok, go to the gym, lift n thats it. If your really looked to be adequately physiqued, you must commit more then just that. If I told you my schedule youd think I was some professional BB but I am faaar from that lol.

So hairbank you say you wanna gain some lean mass? Nice stats by the way! I always wish I was a liiiiittle taller but my muscles are more packed together so Im nice n bulky n ripped so its a good like. Look at Franco? lol but lean mass. no offense dabuski but alot of people say that, yes its true if you want to maintain but waht you need to do is eat a fairly high protein/calorie meal/sneak every 2-3 hours. Constantly feeding your hopefully broken down muscle from yesterday workout. Thus keeping your body in an anabolic state (growing). Things to eat, theres also definately a big when n how much also but for now to give you an idea of what I eat in a day. For one! You wanna grow? You HAVE to take in 1.5ish grams of protein per lb bodyweight! Complete must! To repair your muscles from the beatdown you give them at the gym. 3500 give or take calories. You burn so many cals pumpin iron that if you dont supply your body back with what you burned (which is alot) and plenty more, you can almost never think of growing (I mean growing) but more so maintaing and leaning out more n more minus the mass part. Quick list of what I eat. Oatmeal, apple, banana, protein shake whey right after workout (super important) casien protein shake at night before bed(also suuuuuper important) eggs any kind of meat chicken steak whole wheat bread and english muffins, um...tuna, pasta, granola bars, yogurts, cottage cheese....its no game! People think getting big is just about lifting weights. At first it is but then your body hits a plateau n to break through you have to eat like a bear. Its a full time job : / If you want me to pinpoint on anything or clarify shoot, i just wanted to get the random must haves outta the way for the most part

arrie - Im would say maybe work at a reputable gym and work your way up as a trainer. I know alot of friends who did things that way so. I dont really know personally besides that. Bill-yea I agree man. I did high volume heavy weight training up untill about a year ago. Packed on great lean mass. Super lean mass with a good clean diet. Now Im strictly doing for strength n size. Heaviest weight, 6-8 rep sets, 6rep warmup, maybe 2 set of that, instead people waste alot of energy doing like 15reps warming up. You dont need that! COnserve for your heavier sets! Then Im doing on my 4th exercise I do high volume heavy enough weight for a 15 12 10 type deal so hit a complete different set of muscle fiber so I walk out with my muscles being banged every which way

if you wanna lower your testosterone why dont you just swallow a whole bunch of propecia pills (just a joke) regardless the body will continue to produce testosterone. If dht is in your blood, it'll convery any free test running through, plain n simple. Youd have to battle DHT, not tesosterone. Thats my 2 sense

lol beachair...I was mentioning the 2 women that did the graft planting on me. People were sayin I might be wrong, coulda been so loopy it was actually the doctor talking sweet to me haha

thanks for the reassuring comments guys. As Dr. True himself had said the same Janna. His techs have been with him for years mastering the skill. As they are all highly professionals in that are. Wanna talk about being put at east real quick? haha -I was just questioning as much as I could, I felt a little bad afterwards : / Probably an annoyance haha Basically what brought my question up, thats all really!

Well yea Im 23 and have been going at it since around 15 or so. I remember curling some dumbells after 8th grade in the summer before going into highschool saying "man if I keep this up ma no one is gonna mess with me in highschool". It basically turned into me signing up to the gym, really seeing some serious results. having a great drive and dedication. Turned into a passion of mine, Ive been on n off, but Ill never stop. I just recently got back in after a year break and back for about 5months now, took anothe 2 week break for the HT, last week here : / Cant wait to get back, im itchin so bad, I can go now but Id rather wait to start the week off right. I completely readvised my diet and made some big steps forward in it. I was puttin back on some serious muscle after my year break, then the ht came up, another small break. In that time I was just thinking o man, "I was advancing nicely, and only at Level 1 ability". So in my time off I put together a whole new plan and going to come back and hit it even better and harder then before! I just really love talking weights and the body. I can chat forever about

If anyone wants to talk weights, diet etc etc... Ive been in the game for about 5years plus and have a great span of knowledge. Im also in great shape so its not one of those personal trainers that comes up to you when you sign up at a gym saying you get a free session, but in your head your thinking how it looks like he could use a few training sessions himself But really, any questions anything....I can provide alot of "solid" information in all areas!

man Bill you move quick. Do you wake up and check for any updates? haha jk but yea you can use my name on it "diamondlight" and tell anyone who has any questions etc to just contact me through the forum

lol glock, I might of took 1 to many of those pk's lol. Thats a big deal isnt it? When you are completely out of your safe zone, not to mention its a place thats "all about your hair" and not alot of us are very comfortable with to begin so that doesnt help. But they made me feel so comfortable. Making me laugh and just all about me Being able to compare (as I did have a previous transplant elsewhere) one experience to another. Im so shocked at how painless and easy everything was Now the wait begins (this time Im gonna try and not wake up in the middle of the night to check for any recipeant growth lol)

Bill- I must say...Im honored to have my experience "feautured" on the site! Wheres the recognition though? No sweet signature at the end? lol jk Im starting to realize how much this site may mean to some people as what its already done for me. I must thank everyone for all their time and effort put into this forum. It helped me a ton, for one helping me take the leap to get on finasteride and two for helping me choose one of the best and just the right doctor. Which both of those conclusions were brought upon simply by reading others posts. So now Im going to dedicate my time to post my knowledge/experiences on this forum as best as I can in hopes to one day be able to help someone with the amount I recieved as it lead to 2 great big steps forward in my battle of mpb

I dont, to me it looks like a crayon you rub on your hair? lol I have no idea but.... I use toppik and that stuff is awesome I must say. The hair rebuilding fibers....you have to get the spray top for even better results. MAKE SURE you match your hair color up just right though lol. I would say by a small bottle (20$) and spray top for 10 off amazon, 30$ worth the shot if you dont like it. Trust me though, definately give it a go, you'll thank me later

I got my sutures out earlier today and feel great. Also hope you read my post on my experience with Dr.TRue. But back to him being able to answer all my questions? Well I brought the "topic starter" to his attention and for the record...His techs are very skilled (I never doubted that just little shaken up from previous ht). He backs them up with 100% confidence telling me they've had years of experience with him. I felt alot better hearing it come from him even though there was no doubt in my mind his staff along with himself were the best (I just couldnt of asked enough questions, thats all really). dhoose- I was and I wasnt. If you remember I was coming off of a previous HT through Bosley and looking at my results thus far and reading one after another bashing them non stop, I was very aware of everything happening around me. I might of even seemed a little annoying asking so many questions. wylie- you and only you know what you want and deserve

i do, but id like to post pics in several months so you can see before and afters I cant wait to see the results !!

This may be a stupid question and I may know the answer to it already but... In the first quarter stage of graft planting, why would one tech/planter get up, walk away(and not come back then later be the one who cleaned me up)and another come in and take their spot? And the other stay the entire time! a.they were new and gettin a crack at the feel for it? Have to start sometime or another right? b.simply just tired and needed to be relieved? because thats what happened to me and i was a little concerned like "oh man maybe this was this guys first time" I hope everything grows properly where he was working. Im not looking to hear what'll make me feel good. Id like the blunt truth if anyone knows for sure or an answer is just as good as my guess?

do you remember a guy name Joe I think. He was like asian decent I believe. Darker skin though for sure

Bill- sorry for the detail lol I just wanted anyone who had previous work to have something to go hand in hand with MrJb etc..-from what I remember there were 2. I shorter kinda of stocky one;/ then a taller more slender one. Her and I were seriously flirten the whole time. She happened to live by me and offered me to come by her place so she could rub cream on my sutures how do you like that ? hahaha o man

It was the day of my procedure with Dr. True. Weeks before the consultation with him made me feel more then comfortable and confident in choosing him to do my transplant. He was very calm and laid back and had a knowledgable answer for any question I had. He is completely steered away from the fact of your money in the pocket but more the satisfaction, your best interest and what truly is right for you. He seemed a little conservative on the number of grafts he felt was adequate but once again as he explained "I wouldnt want to under go this procedure in any way as then you wouldn't be happy and thats ultimately what were going for". Green Light ! -I arrive at the office, very easy to locate and slow paced. No signs, brochures and fancy smancy advertisements all over. Front desk was very nice and willing to work with me (as I had a small problem with one of my cards). I was immediately called upon by Peter (patient assistant) on completion of the paper work I had to fill out. About 10minutes later, not even...Dr. True was walking in greeting me with a smile and leading me to my room. From then he introduced me to the staff that would be working with me as they were very sweet as well (especially the Russian graft planter *wink* haha jk). I had some final questions for him regarding the work on my temple area. Once again he was very calm and open to anything I had to say, he is very easy to talk to! He then came up with what I feel is an even better then I thought outline for preperation of the incisions). The temple work was also last minute so it was on the spot and very professionally drawn up. -Went ahead and started to numb me up nice and good. No Pain what so ever. I have a high threshold for pain but when I mean a little pinch here n there, that is all I felt!!! -When the strip was taken from the back I also felt very very little pain! -Now little break time while his staff broke down the strip. Meanwhile great hospitality at my disposal. -While Dr. True was making the incisions in my recipeant area he took his time and accurately made them one by one. No rush at all intended! -The graft planters then proceeded to take their time and speak in Russian to each other I just sat thinking to myself about a ex girlfriend who I used to date who was Armenian (rub off of russian) haha. Wat a hottie, anyways! I was very comfortable throughout and no pain was inflicted at all. -All over and we forgot to take immediate post op pictures but thats fine because I did at home, 3days later though! -Im completely surprised because the 2nd day any little swelling on the temple area was completely gone. 30% redness left, Still No Pain (thanks vicodin n few beers lol) and everything looked to be in place nice and firmly. I cant believe how little redness I have and pain Ive been feeling. I go in this Monday to get my sutures out. I think I covered just about my whole experience, dont really wanna go back n read to c if I didnt lol. Plus I cant possibly type anymore!! Overall GREAT Person and even better Doctor. SO FAR! lol Ill keep updates and I would highly recommend considering Dr. True. If needed in the future (another HT) and everything goes accordingly assuming Ill have excellent growth and results. I wouldnt even hesitate to see him for Round 2!!! Ciao

Me, day 1 no wash, day 2 I just used shampoo and water in a bottle, poured it over my head. Carefully washed my sides and crown area as I still have alot of native hair. And lightly dabbed the graft area with a sponge (on day 3) It is now day 7 and Im still doing the same thing. I also massages the donor area a bit with shampoo on my finger tips. I was wondering if I didnt even help the scabs off, only the few that are visible and just let the others fall off themselves? That shouldnt be a problem huh. Let nature take its course as they say
