So, it's not totally clear yet, particularly since I've gone a long time with no hair cut thanks to quarantine (long hair papering over my lack of thickness perhaps), but my sense is that this treatment regime  -- topical finasteride + minoxidil + microneedling -- is working. You might consider giving this treatment regime 6-9 months before trying a hair transplant. It's been a bit over 3 months, which was preceeded by a one month break from any hair treatment. Is this too soon to see results? I'm only about 85% sure I see improvement. And, I'm not yet to be where I want to be, but at this point, I'm willing to wait until June or July to gauge progress before I think about another HT. 

 

Compare to pre-ops and pre-treatment, it's night and day.

 

 

 

Wow that’s incredible where do you get the topical fin?

Well, I cannot leave Russia, so that limits me quite a bit... Was thinking now is a good time to do, given social distancing, closed-down nightlife, etc. etc. 

Out of curiosity I searched and saw some clinics in St. Petersburg and Moscow. What do you think of those?

My topical Fin is MinoxidilMax. It's minoxidil and finasteride. 

So, I've now added PRP to my regime the past 3 months. So, its Minoxidil, topical finasteride, Microneedling, and PRP. This seems like the "big four". 

I seem to go back and forth on whether I see progress or not. Certainly, it's not like the obvious progress of getting a hair transplant, but often I suspect I see some progress. Or at least I'm keeping my HT gains from 2018. Also, it's too soon to see any additional benefit of the PRP. 

I'm still planning another HT this fall/winter. I'll probably do Belgium. I don't want any developing country BS.

^Ah, also, there are a couple other things I do. One, I noticed that my minoxidil tends to just make my hair look thicker. So I tend to add that in as well. Lastly, sometimes I add Caboki. Just a powder which makes it appear like I have a fuller head of hair than I do. These are also two nice tools in the arsenal. 

Am I missing anything?

^I guess the other three things you can do are:

(1) don't drink that much

(2) eat lots of fish & seafood

(3) get lots of natural sunlight, & take vitamin D tablets in winter.

(4) don't do things that impair your sleep. Don't stay up super late. go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. dont' stress yourself out.

However, none of these are going to have a noticeable impact on your hair but you should do anyway for other reasons.

So, i have continued with the "big 4": Topical minoxidil and finasteride, microneedling, and plasma therapy for my hair. I think my hair is fine-ish (I still wish were a bit thicker). 

However, I think the topical minoxidil and finasteride has caused my face, particularly on my temple, to age a bit and get wrinkly and leathery. I think what happens is that when I sleep, the solution gets on my pillow and then to my face. I'm contemplating what to do about this. Someone else who just used minoxidil also reported this.

Some steps I'll take are:

1. try to change my pillow-cases almost each night.

2. Maybe wear a nightcap when I sleep so that my hair doesnt' directly touch my pillow

3. Do a better job of applying the liquid in a way so that bits don't end up on my face.

4. do microneedling on my face

5. A friend who is 50 with no wrinkles swears by using facial cream to prevent wrinkles.

6. I may look in to botox...
