    I've been using Revita shampoo for quite a while now and have been very pleased. I am not sure if it helps hair loss but my hair definitely looks healthier. Anyway, I just received a new bottle a week or so ago. I'm pretty sure they must of changed the formula...it does not seem as thick and you have to use a greater amount to get a good lather. Has anyone else noticed this? Just curious..

    Jont, I had my procedure with Dr. Cooley recently. I'm still a few months away from seeing my resuls but I can tell you it was good experience. Dr. Cooley is very hands-on during the entire procedure. I really liked his staff...Brandi, Amy, and Aileen are great. You can look at my blog for my immediate post op pics up to about 2 weeks post op. I have not posted lately due to there not being much to report yet. Anyway, I truly do not think you can go wrong with Dr. Cooley and team. Best of luck and if you have any questions...feel free to PM me. Randy

    I agree with Bill...sounds like you have folliculitis. It can look alot like acne. Your best bet is to get a presciption for Bactrim...you will need to take it for a full 14 days. If you stop early, it will come right back. Best of luck

    The below was posted by MrJobi not long ago...maybe you could try it. Good Luck, Randy Hi As a long time user of Propecia, i switched to Proscar ( and cutting the pills) out of desperation as I couldnt find Propecia in Asia.. Well, after buying the 5mg procar pills, and using a pill cutter which you can buy at any CVS, I am one happy man ( and much wealthier).. It's easy and cheaper!!! Follow the instructions above JOBI

    Hey Gary, I read a few positive things about CP but have never seen any real evidence that it helps. Since I am only a couple of weeks post HT, I figured I would get some due to quite a few folks seem to use it to help the healing. Anyway, I ordered the folligen CP spray online for about $28. I apply about it about 10 minutes after I apply Rogaine....but only at night. This stuff really smells terrible so I don't apply before going to work. I am not sure if other brands smell better or not. Randy

    I drink a muscle milk protein drink every morning and a whey protein drink every evening....for the last year or so. I did not notice any difference in hair shedding...and trust me, I keep up with that! I did just do a HT but I needed that prior to my whey protein ingestion.

    Tdog, I had a procedure with both of the physicians that Bill named. My first with Dr. Griffin several years ago and my last one with Dr. Cooley just 12 days ago. Both are outstanding physicians. You cannot go wrong with either one. Dr. Cooley is located on the outskirts of Charlotte, only about 15 minutes from the South Carolina line. Feel free to PM me or email me if you have any specific questions. Randy

    JohnS, Thanks for the comments! I completely agree...he should get more attention.

    Thanks Bill! Hopefully I will get some better pics posted.

    Azn_guy_001, When I was researching this site looking for a HT surgeon, I found Dr. Cooley received quite a bit of recognition a couple of years ago but...not as much lately. After visiting his office and reviewing his photo albums, he has many outstanding results. I had my HT with him on July 10th and cannot wait to see the final results. So anyway, I agree with you...I think, as of lately, he is underrated. IMO, he is definitely one of the best. And, he is a very nice and professional guy with a great staff. Randy

    Congrats! Very impressive!

    Awesome results...looks like a completely new person! Nice work!

    PGP, Thanks! I am very pleased so far...wish I could skip the shed period. Since the recipient area was not shaved, it is hard to get a good pic of all the little grafts mixed in with my existing hair. It feels like a 4 day old beard when I run my fingers across my scalp. Randy

    I updated my blog with pics from the first week and from today. If you get a minute, take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

    Thanks Dewayne. I really like Dr. Griffin and think he does really good work. Dr. Cooley said the same thing. The difference I would say is Dr. Cooley is probably a little more hands on. On another note, have you seen Dr. Cooley's new office? Very, Very Nice!

    My Web Blog I had 3014 grafts placed on 07.10.09 by Dr. Cooley. My goal was to add density to the front and crown area. I am very please with how it looks after one day...can't wait to see the results in the coming months. Let me know what you think. Thanks

    Reverse the Curse, Thanks for all the tips...will definitely use some of them. Mgem, thanks!
  20. FiveOaks09
    Thanks to all! I'm going to make a promise that I am not going to be one that makes some post the first couple of months and stops! It is such a help to all the people researching to be able to see the entire process through until at least 12 mths. Randy

    Well, I really don't have a question...just getting a little excited that I only have 4 more days until my HT. If anyone wants to jump in and tell me what a great decision I made by going with Dr. Cooley, that would be great. I'm looking forward to creating my blog soon! Randy

    Bill, Thanks for the calculator...I had not seen that. And, thank Dr. Shapiro for your guidelines. Very helpful. By the way, 9 more days! I never did an in-person consultation so I can't wait to see exactly what Dr. Cooley decides I need to help reach my goals. However, after using the calculator and Dr. Shapiro's guide...I still think close to 3000 grafts will be needed. Again, thanks for everyone's advice/help! Randy
  24. FiveOaks09
    Yeah, I know that is not the best pics to judge by. However, that is exactly what I was thinking though..2500-3000 grafts. Thanks for looking!
  25. FiveOaks09
    In case you didn't see my other thread...my first HT was with Dr. Griffin in 2004...approx 2200 grafts.
