Heres another Pic.   

Top 5 days post op,  bottom is from just now.   So, it's similar to what he did to you.  

Its coming in..   I'm praying I get some good density.  I took pics like every week....  So I noticed by week 3 everything fell out,  but by like week 8 or 9 I started seeing something.   Like really teeny tiny hairs coming thru.   

We are both in ugly duckling phase so it's only going to get better.

The benefit of the no shave FUE is the fact that when it sheds it just looks like it did before the surgery, right? It’s not like it looks worse or anything. Or would you say the redness is noticeable?

Exactly.     Benifits of No shave fue is obvious.   Some people may want to argue that it's better to shave for better results..    

All depends on the Dr.    I've done no shave FUT with Dr Dorin in NYC and no shave FUE with Dr Mwamba.   Some dr's actually change more for no shave.

I feel like the no shave FUE was basically being a hermit for 2 weeks then going back to regular life With no one knowing anything was done 

ugly duckling stage sucks but seen a few baby hair recently. will post when significant change

How you making out?   How's that Hairline comijg along? 

I'm 16 weeks post op from Dr Mwamba...  I did the Hairline similar to yours but only 600 grafts... A lot of the new grafts from the hairline have sprouted for me...  I was a little worried there but I have faith things will get even better.

Your hair and your donor are amazing. Your result would be wonderful for sure 😉

I posted a couple pics on this threat about a month ago...  

Heres another one 16 weeks post op.    

Just posting the hairline since it's comparable to the work that was done to PURPLECOBRA.     Dr Mwamba also did repair job to my donor area and filled in crown.

Thank you. I think a few of us are considering Mwamba, so it’s good to see recent cases. Did you have the PRP done? I know it’s extra, so was wondering if people think it makes a difference..

Here is an update on the hair line just over 3 months now. Baby hairs have started to grow back :) 

hopefully another month will show significant progress

Looks about right for 3 months.    The next 3 months should see great growth. 

 

And damn you good great hair on top.    👍👍

Thanks mate! Yeah a 3 months hopefully.

im on a micro dose of fin but not minoxidil as I’m allergic to it in a bad way. 
wondering if there are any other growth stimulators that work out there? 

Fin and minox are the only ones FDA approved.  

There are vitamins that I take like biotin and saw palmetto.... And then there's the keto shampoo,  micro needling and laser caps.

Have you tried the oral version of minoxidil?

I did try for a brief period of time, low does of 1mg. However I felt some dull pains in the heart so I came off of it. Don’t want to be reliant on that tbh. 

I was thinking if anyone had had success with CB0301, given it inhibits the androgenic effects of dht and testosterone topically?
