Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 Not too bad to be honest … that main spot in the middle is actually an old scar believe it or not …. So all in all it’s looking ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 Is there a possibility of that thickening as well or is that it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 I can definitely see the crown thickening at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted August 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 Your donor area was awesome before, with that amount of grafts taken I think it’s still going to be very good ! It will most likely improve 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2021 That’s great thank you for the confidence!

Regular Member SLY Posted August 13, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2021 Very nice video and thanks for sharing For the hairline, did dr Patrick transplant singles hair only? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 17, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thank you bro and yea I think mainly single hairs …. Breaks up the hairline Better apparently??? He may have put a few doubles in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 20, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 Only one week off the 3 month mark now, and I am very happy to already have some decent growth… would this be considered normal ? Or is it good early growth ? Still no side effects from topical which means I probably won’t get any now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted August 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 Good early growth 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say that the scalp is still red? Maybe it's because of the photo. A hug! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member follically challenged Posted August 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 Looking great so far man! Just curious about the topical Dut... any reason you are on that as opposed to oral fin, topical fin, or minoxidyl? I know Mwamba usually prescribes that so im just wondering what his reasoning was ..? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 20, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 Glad you enjoy my thread guys ! And ye it is a little red still which I’ve been told can linger for months but I’ll keep you updated on that… it has lessened significantly but still not totally back to skin colour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted August 20, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yes it can a take a while. Definitely Improving though 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 20, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 I was just a little concerned about the side affects .. I know they are minimal but thought I’d try out the topical dutasteride first for a gentler approach I will be starting mesotherapy with the dutasteride soon but wanted to wait till my psoriasis had completely gone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 20, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Quick question … it’s nearly 3 months and I have been electric razoring my head after about 2 months is this ok ? Don’t want to cause any damage … pretty sure I was told this is ok to do I’m very gentle not to pull hair or anything like that Edited August 20, 2021 by captaincalico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member captaincalico Posted September 1, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 3 month update.. hello everyone…. I will be videoing a 3 month update today or tomorrow which I will upload onto here … just wanted to let you know of some slight changes to my routine now, I will up my use of topical dutasteride 0.1% to 3 times a week and dustasteride mesotherapy 0.01% once a week with the dermaroller… I have the 0.75mm roller which I’ll test out and let you know how it goes ! I’ve found a picture of my head a couple days before leaving the uk for the op and I’m sure you can see a big difference already ! First 3 pics are pre op and the last are up to date … I think I have some decent early growth happening here ! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted September 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 Growing in nicely, and redness is continuing to fade. Best months are ahead 👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted September 1, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks bro, I think I’m going to let it grow from now on … although I’d prefer to keep shaving until there is substantial growth. However I feel if I want to document it …. Shaving may may this difficult ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
