Regular Member Merlin Posted April 13, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Day 121 So far so good. The improvement is noticeable. It's easier to hide the areas with missing hair. The major one is the crown which despite the significant improvement, is very obvious that there are hair missing there (on the picture it looks better than in person I think), unless I do the comb over; probably because the hair on the center of the crown are still short.

Regular Member mikemorrow2000 Posted April 13, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2019 Looks good Merlin. You still have a few months left of continued growth. If you're at 121 days now figure about another 100 days of more growth. You will see added thickness! I would estimate about 7 to 8 months before my growth really peaked. You know Dr Cooley would say stop freaking out about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not freaking out 😀(I haven't bothered Dr. Cooley but I am sure he would say that!😀); there was a huge improvement over the last 30 days. I am just acknowledging that I have more way to go. My goal is to be able to go outside (rolling out bed😁) without fixing my hair or wearing a hat so to avoid showing the hair loss. This is almost achieved for the front, and the crown is getting there. Probably it's mostly a matter of the hair growing longer; and the extra hair (I assume/hope) that should be coming online over the next few weeks will help too.

Regular Member mikemorrow2000 Posted September 21, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2019 Merlin; Thanks for the thread and sharing your experience. I really enjoyed following your progress. Looks like you're at about the 9 month mark. We would love to see some update photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ck432 Posted September 23, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 23, 2019 Looking good. I think it's a little easier to see results with darker hair. I have lighter hair. Still not seeing anything yet. Had my procedure in July. I know it takes a while so I'm being patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Merlin Posted September 25, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2019 @GrowingHair @mikemorrow2000 Thanks for checking in; I will post photos soon. Since I last posted, I haven't thought about hair loss which was the whole point of doing the procedure with Dr. Cooley. @ck432 I am sure that Dr. Cooley did an excellent job! It's still early, everything will come out fine in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mikemorrow2000 Posted September 26, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 26, 2019 Yes you're right that is the whole point. I just had a 2nd procedure on July 12th so I'm in the middle of it again. First procedure was in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Merlin Posted October 15, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Day 306 Update Finally got around to post pictures. I had a haircut 4 days ago. The lowest setting on the trimmer was 3.5 (that was the lowest I was also doing before the transplant).

Regular Member mikemorrow2000 Posted October 15, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks for the encouragement, Merlin. Your hair looks great. I'm hoping my results are just as good. I used a different doctor this time. Dr Charles in Boca Raton. I used Dr Charles b/c he was closer in proximity. It has been 95 days since my 2nd procedure. Starting to see some minor improvement in density but it's just starting to come in. Dr Cooley will always be the best in my mind. Dr Charles does excellent work too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
