Regular Member Russ Posted September 4, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 I read you took oral minox in your thread. Did you see better improvement with it vs topical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted September 4, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 Not really - I am a good responder to topical but someone who isn't may see better results perhaps Much cheaper and easier to use oral too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member elduterino Posted September 4, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 Actually I have some white hairs - the secret is to cut it real short so that it does not stand out too much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about trying the oral version. Do you know a reputable online store that I can buy it from? Or where I can buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted September 5, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2019 I bought mine when I was physically in Thailand - not online Perhaps you can try buying loniten online that's minox and dilute to 5mg a day instead of the larger dosage which may be dangerous over time due to the effect on heart rate, blood pressure drop and water retention etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hairline looks like a norwood -1 Hi Melvin Thank you for having suggested this doc to be added to your recommended list I would not have known of him otherwise. The hairline is entirely my design in fact I grabbed the pen, drew it and asked to be implemented that way and he very kindly accepted even though he said it may be a bit too low - I said that it's going to look great nevertheless . I spent a lot of time painting on my forehand various hairline designs at home before the HT so this was the final iteration which looks the most desirable to me and is definitely immature! I am on various hair meds since 1998 and was able to stabilize it since then., that's why I felt confident doing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the doctor mention you have many 3-4 hair grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted September 6, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) That wasn't mentionned but looking at my hairline it's mostly 1 from what I can see, not sure if this even matter as long as looks good. The first lines are clearly singles This being said I am a great responder to minox and take supplements which make hair shafts thicker. I had to stop minox for 2 weeks before the HT and my hair caliber overall definitely decreased at the end of the two weeks. The supplements which make hair thicker in my experience are msm, biotin 10mg a day and chondroitin sulfate Edited September 6, 2019 by elduterino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member elduterino Posted September 6, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2019 2 grams of msm twice per day total 4g 1.8g of chondroitin 5mg of biotin twice a day total 10mg For hair maintenance - only topicals Clascoterone 50mg a a day in a vehicle of half neogenic and half 95%pure ethanol - Polmos rectfied spirit Neogenic is one of the product which has stemoxydine, this helps increase the growth cycles Minox foam once a day I don't use fin or dut since 2010 but of course would recommend it, it saved my hair for the first 6 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Uncle drew Posted September 6, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2019 I heard about clascoterol is being tested and it might come out as breezula in the future but for now I don’t know where can I find it...I’ll add the msm on my regime for something extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted September 6, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I used to use RU for 9 years, this new drug Clascoterone is replacing RU and yes it will be the ingredient in the upcomimg breezula and acne cream winlevi which will be released earlier at lower concentration Edited September 6, 2019 by elduterino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted February 21, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2020 Guys, here is a pic of the donor after 14 months, but It also includes the FUE I had done in 2014 , total 3700 grafts for both surgeries. I shaved with no guard on my shaver, this is as short a the shaver can do and I usually don't go that short but wanted to see how it looks. The pics were taken by my GF, who does not know I ever had HT, and the most important part is that she did not notice anything particular at the donor, while taking these shots and in normal life. This is the proof that FUE can be scar less, at least in the eye of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PlzRespond Posted March 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2020 Final update? Are you happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member elduterino Posted March 27, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Super happy yes. I shave it to a no guard at back and sides once a week and my GF has not said a thing, and I had 4100 FUE grafts removed over two FUE there so I am convinced it is scar less at least to the eyes of the others. As for the front/hairline, growing fine no issues at all. I shave the rest of my head to a 9 mm guard as it looks better while still limiting the amount of topical hair meds required to maintain. The difference in density with native hair is barely noticeable at that length, but not so if I cut shorter Edited March 27, 2020 by elduterino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to PM me if you're more comfortable but what approx cost is it per graft at this clinic? Work looks very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
