I realize you have existing recipient hair but you look awesome for 5 months! 👌 Interesting with regards to laser cap 1 Hattingen September 2023 - Punchouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member champybaby Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 I thought my crown was done at about 6-7 months and I was happy w/ results. Man, was I wrong. 18 months, imo. And I'm a so-called "fast grower." Looking good, Melvin! 1 FUT procedure w/ Dr. K (2012) Second FUT, Dr. K, Nov. 2020 (mini update) Third procedure, FUE, Dr. K, 03/21, 400 beard to scar (latest update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google them. They are totally legit, in the US very cheap and they deliver. Highly recommend. I've been using them for nearly two years now. 1 FUT procedure w/ Dr. K (2012) Second FUT, Dr. K, Nov. 2020 (mini update) Third procedure, FUE, Dr. K, 03/21, 400 beard to scar (latest update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going through it myself, I would tell anyone who had crown work done not to assess final results until 18 months. You'll have a good idea at 12 months, but I really don't think things are final-final until month 18, imo. 2 FUT procedure w/ Dr. K (2012) Second FUT, Dr. K, Nov. 2020 (mini update) Third procedure, FUE, Dr. K, 03/21, 400 beard to scar (latest update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 29, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 29, 2022 Hello. Long time lurker here. Love seeing your progress. Can you please confirm the difference between the top photo and the bottom photo here. Is it lighting? Angle? Passing of time? I'd love to see a month 1 vs month 6 for the top image. I'm in the process of booking my next transplant with Eugenix. My first HT was with a chap in Ausie and my second was with Jerry Cooley. I'd probably go back to Jerry but its more difficult for me to get back into the USA with COVID policies etc at the moment. ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

Also, I'm one month post FUE at Eugenix and I still have lots of redness. Have you used any products to help the healing process and reduce redness?

Very happy about that. Took this photo yesterday. I had some fibers in the crown. No fibers in the hairline. I’m very happy with the density of the hairline. The temple points are the chefs kiss.
