Senior Member fortune11 Posted December 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2016 Just had my HT and am wondering if this will speed up recovery of native as well as transplanted hair . Got a big chunk of my head shaved for FUE and want to get back in a presentable shape for the outside world as soon as practicable. Question is --- has anyone tried to up the daily dose from 1mg to 2mg (basically taking the same 1mg pill twice a day) and have they noticed any improvements / changes ? thank you ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004) FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011) FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015) FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185663-recent-fue-dr-ron-shapiro-prior-fut-patient.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member E39 Posted December 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2016 No. It's not recommended. I've been on 1mg a day for years with good results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted December 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2016 Try MSM for increased hair growth speed. Increased Propecia dosage higher than the recommended amount will not give you better results and less is better due to possible side effect risk. go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted December 17, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2016 I haven't taken it in years since the last time I shaved down for a large surgery, but I think it's like 1000-3000mg/day, with most recommending to start with 1000mg initially. go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member fortune11 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2016 ok , I just went ahead and bought some MSM -- starting w 1000mg dosage first, lets see how it goes. Thanks for the advice . My hair is still kind of stuck in the same level of growth as the day after surgery , even though it has been about 5+ days . I am assuming it is because of shock to the system which takes some time to recover from. I guess having only been through FUT so far and not having to shave down my native hair , I didn't pay attention to this problem until now . Lets see how much growth I get . If nothing else, I will try to mix in some nanogen with fill-in powder to create some illusion of density while the hair on scalp recovers . For now I am continuing to also take 2mg propecia a day. Will see if it brings about any further change . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004) FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011) FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015) FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185663-recent-fue-dr-ron-shapiro-prior-fut-patient.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
