Great natural look results, you hair texture might have a played a role too.

Sorry I'm a little late to post my Month 7 update. I've seen some new growth, but I feel the majority of improvement is in the thickening of the new hairs. Let the months of maturity begin. 😁 

Hard to spot weak areas, but if l had to point out areas slightly weaker than everywhere else, it would be the frontal center and left temple point. With it being only month 7, I have no doubt that has plenty of time for improvement as hair density will inevitably mature in the next few months, so it should catch up to everything else no problem.

Oral Minoxidil kick-started the growth for sure, but I had to lower my dosage to 1.25mg daily because my heart rate jumped from 40 beats per minute to 60 when I was taking 2.5mg. No sides at all with heart rate at 1.25mg daily. To compensate for the microdose, I'm taking topical Minoxidil 5%, and upgraded my Dutasteride dosage to every 4th day, instead of once weekly. Taking Fin, of course, on the days I'm not taking Dut. That regimen has been working very well over the last 2 months.

Thanks guys!

Man o Man does it get any better than this !!…simply brilliant work .

Hi guys, here is my Month 8 progress. The widow's peak formation has probably been the most prominent in terms of overall thickening and maturity from month 7 to 8. I feel like the hairline has dropped visually because of of the growth in that area.

I was keeping my hair longer on top and the sides but realized that as I grew it out, I was dealing with a lot more split ends and breaking as my hair would thin out with more length.  Because I have wavy hair it was also curling out making it very difficult to style. I decided to cut it down a little on top, and go with the high and tight look.

This is the first time I got a zero cut fade on the sides since the procedure and was the true test to see if the 5200 + grafts extracted would stand its ground and hold up in all areas. My hairdresser could barely see where the extractions were unless he really focused his eyes on it up close. And that was after he shaved me down at 0. With how homogenously the donor was managed, it really sets me up beautifully if I ever needed more work done in the future. I'm so fortunate to have had some of the best techs in the business at @Eugenix Hair Sciences managing that part of the procedure for me.

looks fantastic at 8 months! so happy for you.

The FBI wouldn’t be able to detect a HT here bro….

The result almost induces a giggle it’s so goddamn majestic !! 
 
i know you’re thoroughly enjoying it too which makes it all the sweeter !

 

[Berba11]

This is by far and away the most radical and transformative NW3 case I've ever seen Armen! You don't look a day over 30!

Most people could never get away with 5,200 grafts into the frontal third alone but for those who can, this is an absolute benchmark of a result.

Look at that impeccable donor. Truly a work of art, the temples could cut diamonds. Everything is on point. You look awesome Armen.

Month 9 

I just turned 51 this month and it's so hard to believe that I started this journey exactly 1 year and 11 months ago. I was a Norwood 3 almost my entire life and yet I can't remember what my old receded hairline looks like anymore.😁 

No better feeling than when you don't have to think about hair anymore, outside of what style should I try this month, LOL!

The only area I hope to have just a little more improvement with is my left temple. It still looks good, but not as good as the right temple. Hopefully with just a few more months of maturity, the density will match better from the edge of the temple, blending to the back of the temple. More of a nit-pick than a complaint, and honestly if it never improved further I'd still be very happy with it. 

My diet, supplements and exercise regimen has stayed constant. I'm still taking Dutasteride twice weekly. Finasteride 5 times weekly. Topical Minoxidil 5% daily. Oral Minoxidil 0.6mg daily. LLLT - 5x weekly. 

Once I hit the 1 year mark, I'll cut out Oral Minoxidil altogether and add microneedling weekly with only Topical Minoxidil moving forward.

I'm so happy with this close to final outcome. Thank you @Eugenix Hair Sciences for the incredible work you do day in and day out. The many lives you've had a positive impact on are immeasurable. I always knew I'd eventually get my hair back, but I never imagined or dreamed that it could look this good after doing it. I'm forever grateful for this incredible gift you have given me and many others. 

 

[Berba11]

You look no older than me and I’m just shy of 34! 

[Melvin- Admin]

You look amazing Armen, 51 never looked this good! You’re pretty much set, hair looks perfect.

[A_4_Archan]

Looking super handsome my friend ....you got an amazing result and evrythng is looking very natural....Happy for you...Enjoy and swag with your new hairs...🍻

Thanks @ZeeMan! Here are the products I swear by. They are texturizing products that add a ton of volume and much needed controlability to the hair. I have personally struggled a bit with hard to tame transplanted hair as many do, but these products allow me to bend and shape the style I want without any effort. Absolutely love them, and find it helps with added density as well.

Make that 40 at most Armen. One of the most incredible transformations I’ve seen on this forum. Super happy for you brother. 👌💯

Wow!! This transformation is incredible & the results are so natural!! Really happy for you 👏🏻👏🏻 

Why are you considering stopping the oral Min if you don’t mind me asking my friend? Will you not lose those gains? Either way this is incredible and you don’t look anywhere near 50s 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
