Is it true that crown area is slow in terms growth

Hi

 

Yes, this is what I have heard but it's tough to say if this is the only area..

 

the only way to find out is to wait the total 14 months to make a final assessment on the result. Doing so before that will just upset you and is inaccurate

I am almost 4 month post-op, and a pattern I noticed is that the recipient region with the most recent hairloss seems to experience the earliest growth, while the other areas that have been completely bald for almost 20 years hardly had any sprout. Intuitively I guess it makes sense, that it takes longer for hair to appear in areas with more extensive DHT "damage."

 

Do you guys also experience this, where the area that has been bald the longest also has the slowest growth rate?

hmmm

 

Good point but these hairs are DHT resistant..

 

Who knows, i'll just wait the 14 months & not dirve myself crazy. At that point all of the speculation is a mute point

From what I read, and what I personally experienced, the crown does take longer. I remember feeling a little disappointed about my crown work around months 5-6, then by month 9 I was ecstatic. Just takes a little more time.
