Finasteride, Biotin and Complidermol 5 Alpha Plus. Shampoo I use on doctor's recommendation is Klorane Quinine. As you can see on pre-op pics I have a scalp acne problem. It's gotten a bit better with this shampoo.

Man, amazing result. Good for you!

 

I’m curious as to how long you were on fin before your procedure, whether you’re still on it and if you’ve had to deal with any side effects. 
 

thx!

Thanks man! To be honest I expected a great result. Dangerous, I know, but I can't lie. :) 

I have told my five best friends, noone else knows or have said anything. I was a true master at the combover before procedure.

I will tell you the main difference though; the amount of ladies that give me a second look now is up massively. Not bragging, it's just the reality of having hair.

One of the best results in recent years, congratulations dude.

Any plans to go back on Fin? What were the mild sides if you don’t mind me asking . . And do you take Minox or anything else ? 

Thanks! No, not right now. Sexual.

You're a hair God now in your latest pics. How long was your waitlist for Freitas? A year?

It was one year or so but I pushed it an extra six months so I could have 6 weeks off from work after surgery.

De Freitas is worth the waiting. Its not like waiting for Couto 😂 (forever)

Indeed it is worth the wait. And also, you can get a short notice date in case of a cancellation. I did get that opportunity in June 2019 (consultation and booking was in March 2019) but I turned it down because I had my grand master plan to save up vacation hours for a year more.

@BjornBorgDid you ever notice at the start, for example first month or 2 that you felt when you looked in mirror one side or a partial area was growing slower or looked less dense than another side?

Your results are amazing so just wondering if at the start you ever felt like that because I'm Post 18 days and on one side feel like it looks weaker then the other side but everyone is saying it's nothing to worry about

And just like that, Aftermath has some competition…

Bjorn's result is unbelievably good however he almost certainly benefits from having hair that has a significant waviness to it in terms of increasing the illusion of high density.  

In terms of raw density across a full (albeit narrow) NW5 there are no cases I have seen at the level of Aftermath's, including Bjorn's. In terms of pure aesthetics Bjorn's are a cut above (from my perspective at least) simply because the waviness gives it an edge in terms of how youthful and masculine it is likely to be perceived as. There's a uniqueness and flair that can't be achieved with donor hair of lesser thickness and waviness. 

Even without seeing OPs entire face the images here are enough to show that hair is often the only difference between someone appearing to aging well past their prime in the 6/10 range to having facial features of a male model. Whether or not facial features are perceived as attractive or balanced is heavily dependent on hair. For myself the experience was similar in which I went from below average beyond NW2 but comfortably above average as a NW1.
