Senior Member voxman Posted August 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 That is a good looking hairline - very natural and undetectable. You should be very happy. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted August 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 Even for me the hairline is very natural, rather you have lost a lot of your native hair, especially in the center, there is no longer that "islet" that you had before the procedure and in the 6 months after.

Regular Member knight19 Posted August 4, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hairline looks very natural, but the whole result seems a little sparse to me. Hopefully, it will get thicker by the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Louisjams Posted August 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2020 I think it looks very, very natural. You have a great result. Victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I took it but for a month or two only. it was working fine on retaining existing hair, but after some time, I started to see some side effects, so I had spoken to the doctor and discontinued.

Sadly that is the worst part of my hair transplant journey. All I can remember that I stopped using minoxidil regularly since the Covid-19 pandemic started.

I'm going to have another procedure after the pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried a dose variation? I think lack of Finasteride caused your hair to thin more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from finasteride, I started using Minoxidil 5%, but I was a bit careless and skipped so many doses, which mainly contributed to further thinning of hair.

Minoxidil won't really do anything to stop further loss. I would try doing a dose variation. 1mg a week for a month, if that's tolerated do 1 mg every four days for a month, etc. until you get to 1mg every other day. That is an acceptable dose that will have enormous benefits to maintaining your hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
