Senior Member mustang Posted February 1 Senior Member Share Posted February 1 You could use Tretinoin (Retinol) and Trichoxidil (growth factors) together with Minoxidil (and might as well add Biotin in there) Research has shown that retinol increases the rate of hair growth by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle, playing a role in converting vellus (A.K.A baby hairs) to terminal hairs, and acts in conjunction with other hair growth solutions to produce denser hair regrowth (2).z It's apparently highly effective with Minoxidil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 🙏 This list really helped me. I’m an older guy trying to make sense of all this data. I was perusing Zarev’s website yesterday until I saw his $9/graft price US. He’s seems to be one of the best IMO but prohibitive for a blue collar guy like me. The plane trip is 15 hrs. Mwamba is closer to me in Atlanta, if he still works here (unk). This process is difficult to sort through as some members said they went to a reputable doctor $$ and he took their money, messed up their hair.

Senior Member captaincalico Posted February 18 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 18 (edited) So I’ve made a small change to My Current regime, I’m now on one pill of Finamin daily (Anagenica Finasteride 1mg with Minoxidil 2.5mg). It's not cheap but very convenient having both pills in one. I will also doing Dutmeso 0.05% once a week with a dermaroller. I might go for a final 500 graft surgery to add a little density all over if needed after 12 months. We will see !

But regardless I’m very happy with this result ! And with plenty grafts still in the bank incase I ever need a top up It's looking fantastic - certainly one of the best outcomes I've seen; I almost said 'from where you started', but that wouldn't do the outcome justice. I do think you've called it a little early though. I would fully expect the crown to continue to mature. It's a black hole for grafts but also seems to grow slower, so there's still potentially months to go... Would love to see it at 18 months after a few growth cycles. Edited to say - did you mean 8 months, seems closer to 10? Edited April 1 by BackFromTheBrink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member captaincalico Posted Thursday at 12:55 PM Author Senior Member Share Posted Thursday at 12:55 PM If I were to be super picky … I’d potentially add another 500-1000 here which would probably bring it to the same density as the middle and front !
