I guess it's hard to truly know if it's working. How would you know that without using it, you wouldn't have had the same growth? Genuine question as I'm always a little skeptical about these things that seem like snake oil to me. Your hair obviously looks thicker. Is it brushed back in the 2nd picture, because in the 1st it's pretty spiked up? I know you said you were measuring your hair as well but I still wonder how you'll ever know if the growth wasn't from vitamins and minoxidil? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you were measuring your hair as well but I still wonder how you'll ever know if the growth wasn't from vitamins and minoxidil? I didn’t style my hair any differently. For me, it’s quite obvious its accelerating my hair growth. Just three weeks ago it was a lot shorter and sparse. Now, I’m not saying it wouldn’t eventually get there, but it’s definitely speeding up the process. Both pictures are in same location, angle and lighting.

Senior Member bald-and-bearded Posted March 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 Before the last transplant, what was your hair fibers regimen like? Would you apply it in the morning and wash it off every evening? And have you considered getting an SMP for an illusion of density? Hair fibers definitely look more realistic but you can get "caught" without them if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hair fibers definitely look more realistic but you can get "caught" without them if you know what I mean. I applied fibers on the weekends. I’m pretty open about it, so no getting “caught” for me, my hair looked decent enough without fibers. I just needed a little in the crown. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Etownone Posted March 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 First I heard of any laser therapy having such a drastic results in only 3 weeks. I think you probably would have gotten the same results without using the lasercap since you're growing your hair back out from a HT. Either way... You do amazing work for the community. Rooting for to bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible, but given how slow my hair was growing before, my guess is that it would’ve taken much longer than three weeks to grow this much. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Vann Posted March 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 28, 2022 Can we get an update of the donor areas? (donor zone - scalp, and a beard when its long and next time you trim?) The post op looks remarkably clean and following your pictures it looks like you have very minimal shock loss to the existing hairs. I think you hair type is more medium which makes it look more ugly duckling but honestly I think youre growing your hair out pretty fast. It actually looks really good. I think youre going to have a really strong growth rate by month 5 at the rate its growing. Would you ever consider doing PRP? It may help in the early phase if you have 3 sessions one month apart (there are groupon discounts you can probably find to have it done for $75-199 for individual sessions) Follow my first hair transplant journey 3,252 Grafts a minimum of 6,712 hairs June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TEXAN35 Posted April 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 Great progress. It would be interesting to see the progress of beard graft and how they are blending with scalp grafts in next few months. I am sure it will turn out wonderful though.
