Hi guys, thinking about reducing minox fom application to once a day. When I do it in the morning it leaves my hair quite dry and stringy compared to if I dont apply it.

 

Anyone had any experience of reducing and did it have any effects? Reading mixed stuff on the internet so thought I'd ask.

So 8 months on and Im still over the moon although I am experiencing some shedding which is bit worrying. After applying regaine foam I have noticed a fair few hairs in my hand after each time. Thinking it might be the next cycle?

 

 

I had my 6 month check up with dr Farjo and I did mention about one of the sides being a little thinner than the other, he said there was still time for it to come in but if it doesnt they woudl look at a free touch up. I thought this was great as there are no guarantees as we all know I was just happy they have said they can try and sort if it doesnt come through.

 

 

Anyway here are the images taken today and I have taken some of the gap.

 

 

Any feedback welcome.

An amazing transformation.

 

I've experienced sheds as well. I imagine it could be the minoxidil that's causing it, but the hair will generally come back stronger. The initial shed on minoxidil can be shocking :eek:

 

Give it another six months. There's probably more thickening to come.

 

Can't say better than a free top up. Fair play to Fargo for that offer. :cool:

Hair has gone a little lighter which I think is due to the sun we've been having but apart from that only positives.

Thanks for continuing to update your progress Mick. Looking really good from those pics and glad to hear you're happy with the progress. Those awkward work meetings last year during the 'ugly duckling' stage are just a distant memory now!

So a year on and here are the results:

Im very pleased, when I look back at what I looked like its so much better. Its felt a long road at times and I still hope to have the touch up to finish it off. Im not sure if I will ever look at getting my crown looked at as my journey was not just cosmetic but also involved my scar and how it made me feel mentally.

If anyone is looking to have an op done I would suggest do your research and choose carefully, Dr Farjo and his team were incredible and I couldnt recommended them highly enough.

 

This is what it looked like on the day of the op, I look at this quite often as it reminds me how far its come.

I stand by my initial point I wrote here that imo you would have been better suited to a large megassession to obtain full crown and midscalp coverage along with the hairline work, but undeniably the result is very good. Obviously yielded very well and looks as natural as can be, huge cosmetic improvement over starting point.

It looks good. Can you post photos taken in brighter lighting conditions, like while standing outside in the sunlight, or standing beneath an artificial light in front of your bathroom vanity? 

This is probably the harshest light I could do it under:

It looks great. Your frontal hairline looks completely natural in your photos and the hair coverage on top is thick. This was money well-spent, and your result encourages me to get my own FUE procedure in the next few years (my hair looks about as bad as yours does in the last photo you posted).
