Senior Member captaincalico Posted July 16, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hey everyone so we are already coming up to 1 month post op! I’ve suffered a fair bit of shock loss this time around which is horrible. But I know it’ll come back thicker and more glorious than ever so it’s worth the struggle ! Thought I’d give you a super close up video to see just how quick the hairs are growing back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 10, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 10, 2023 7 week update… almost at two months … we have some early signs of growth .. the crown does take a fair bit longer to appear but I have high hopes…. As you can see in the pics I have coverage all over but…. I have suffered quite alot of shock loss… granted the lighting is also very harsh which thins it out as well, this being said… I did shed quite a bit this tkme… but I can see regrowth already so this is encouraging ! I have restarted topical DUT as I was still thinning slowtly.. and realised that the DUT had definitely stopped this the first time I was using it ! I shall commence mesotherapy on month 3 to ensure I do not damage the new hairs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 11, 2023 Administrators Share Posted August 11, 2023 Your hairline still looks great, the mid and crown have some shock loss. This won't last.

Senior Member captaincalico Posted August 31, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 31, 2023 Month 3 … hopefully at the end of the ugly duckling phase… starting to get impatient now… although I’ve been through this process a fair few times now… I still hate this part of the journey…. Still plenty of shock loss, and the new hairs probably haven’t even broken the surface yet! That being said… I do know I’m in for a great next few months ! https://youtube.com/shorts/ZGtghkerdtM?si=jcfcqx-wKEB-N_5N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member sl Posted September 1, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2023 Looking good. For the fact you have given so much, full face, countless updates, openness and not afraid to show it as it is when it shocks and all you definitely should be a hall of fame patient..
