Mr. GQ

FiveOaks09, i know that Dr. Cooley has been working and perhaps is still working on some experimental stuff. so when you see him in person do us all a favor and ask him if future looks bright for us baldies regarding HM, or any other "future" project that he might be affilieted with, will ya? thanks! PM me when you get some news

yes it did. but the 3 month slump wasn't so bad to begin with and it never effected me in any really concerning manner. but surely i'm glad that it disappeared completely.

who is your gf? left or right hand? j/k good for you i guess

sheeeeesh i like this thread, as in very entertaining now let's all drop this and get a group hug and sing kumbaya we are all in the same boat guys and what happened to balding brethren brotherhood all of a sudden?

anyone tried this recently that had some success or pics to show for??? here is link where i found it: http://www.cheaprogaine.com/documents/38.html

i know it's an old post but still.... TomA did MERERMA help at all? do you have any pics showing your scar?

LOL same here. but i'm sure your bones and joints are saying "thank you mmhce" but you just can't hear 'em plus my hair was always growing fast even before i got on the MSM bandwagon.

try changing to different gel. or perhaps try putty cream or similar. also see if holding spray will work for you. i hear that american crew gel is the best so try getting that one in some hair salon. or perhaps stop putting gel on your hair and get a haircut that would sute you without any gel in your hair. *sigh* gosh i haven't put gel in my hair in ages.

LOL you didn't get MrJobi's question but yeah definitely give it few months to see if things will improve for you and then go from there. also keep taking vitamin B complex, vitamin C and MSMs as that might balance some things out for you. i said it might, so go with all that few months and report back and let us know if things improved for you. good luck and all the best! P.S. i had it too but it went away after appx. 2-3 months so my advice is don't give up and give those vitamins a try as i think that's what helped me.

Stimpy, sorry to hear about your bad HT experiences bro. who is on your radar this time around for finishing up your repair?

brilliant!!! so what's your story swim? did the poem come from personal experience? did you get butchered? did you get fixed? what's the scoop? cheers!

Petch, looks much much better than last time when i saw your pics. it wasn't long ago that i commented on your last update with something like "looks same as pre-op", so what's the deal man? you found that magic potion to speed up the growth or what? oh i know, let me guess, you got back to popping them MSMs again haven't you looking great bro and still more to come 4 sho! thanks for updating.....

ok Bill i get all that and the gist of what you are saying, but let's not forget that there are only handful of clinics in here that are able and capable of doing 4K+ sessions with ease by just instructing a patient to simple do scalp exercises for few short months few minutes per day before that "judgment day". also let's not forget that those handful of clinics are dispensing those "ultra" megasessions like pez (sorry for stealing Thana ) while with most others you never get to see even 1, let alone few. so it would be very hard (and very foolish i might add) for me to grasp that concept and that the argument can be made by simply hammering the point that goes something like this: "ok it's different approach with different sets of circumstances with different clinics" (paraphrasing of course). while to me and perhaps the majority of this community it's so plain to see that some clinics are far more advanced and superior than others when it comes to patients' donor/session "management" and its size. i'm not trying to start any controversies or arguments with this as i'm preatty sure that this "megasession" issue has been discussed here before. so all i'm trying to point out with this is that there definitely is a big difference when it comes to choosing a clinic for a guy that is in his advanced balding stage eg. NW4+. another thing that i would like to mention to all you NW4+ guys is that "money issue" excuse is the dumbest thing that i've ever heard and sounds very stupid to me. please if you don't have money to pay for your appropriate megasession, then please do yourself a favor and take a chill pill for few years or as long/short as it takes for you to come up with the money necessary to do a proper HT and thus in the process you will do yourself and your head a huge favor. if for some reason you find the last bit of this post offensive for some reason, then please accept my apologies in advance as it was not supposed to be as such. i arrest my case.

if you think that was good you should def try nitrous oxide AKA whippits just ask Steve-o.

yes Dr. Charles i've heard of that concept and it's called "refarming" i believe. i think Dr. A (India) is performing it and probably couple of few other docs. it's all done simultaneously as soon as a graft from head is being extracted a BH graft is placed in its vacant slot. personally i wouldn't bother going through all that as i think a small size tool in experts' hand is good enough for most FUE fans. but if the original question was if anyone attempted to fix the white dots some time after the procedure itself via BHT, i gotta tell you it's an interesting question and i don't think i ever came across a post reading about it.

and this is exactly why it is so important to go to a clinic that is capable of performing big megassesions and try to get as much in the first pass as you possibly could. i'm sure that this guy would look much much better had he gone to a clinic capable of doing 4K-5K+ sessions. that need for "second procedure to thicken thing up" could be reduced to ~10% chance and not to mention the fact that potential of bad looking scar tends to quadruple second time around.

these and similar types of results are what LMS is raging about.... but to be fair this guy's hair 10 months down the road could dramatically improve, somewhat improve or stay exactly the same. if we never get to see any update in the future we might as well assume that this indeed is his final result imo. but how do we know that the result is only 6 months??? frankly there are plenty of results in here where a clinic shows "only 6 months" and then never posts any further updates. but i guess we must have trust in good old doc's word.

yep, looks good so far RG. all the best and happy growing!

yes that is a fact and i don't think he ever did offered it in the first place.... i see that his coalition profile page has been updated also to reflect that (thanks Bill).

wantego, i'm getting a vibe from you that you are not 100% happy with your HT. last time i checked your pics, it looked good. what happened? can you explain what you are not satisfied with? also few "fresh" pics of your current situation would be interesting to check out. thanks

well in that case then we lynch him. what all these all-fue clinics think they are???

minoxidil 5% def works good up front too. i can't tell for certain whether it is minox or fin that did the trick for me, but i must say that it does work really good on my front 1/3. i started both fin and minox at the same time so that is why it's so hard for me to pinpoint what did what where.

if that is the case than i'm sure many of us here are very grateful for that (and to you Dr. F) and i truly hope that other established and new and up-n-coming clinics get with the program. only then would FUE be viewed as a main stream and would probibly be much more affordable to an average Joe like myself. $5/6 is fair and acceptable range imo. few years ago i bought my HDTV for 5Gs and now i could buy that same TV even better one for 1G. i'm hoping the same will be true for FUE.

fair enough Bill! he went public so did you. now we go to the mattresses
