Seetheobvious Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 OK so… I had a hair transplant procedure done in Istanbul, Turkey in January 2020. All things seemed as they were going right on schedule with the shedding and the growing back in, and within one year the hair got super thick and looked great! I was also on Viviscal for 10 months and continue to be to the current day. As of the middle of May of this year 2021 my hair started to thin and kept thinning and now it looks nothing like it did back in January of this year. I only skipped taking Viviscal for three weeks at the end of May and I’m still wondering if it’s due to that. I’d appreciate if somebody could give me advice or thoughts on what is happening. Thanks!

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2021 Please can you post some pics and more information? How many grafts you had, who was the clinic, age and Norwood level? We need some more details 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted July 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2021 Viviscal doesn't do anything. The only meds worth looking into are finasteride and (to a lesser degree) minoxidil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
