Hello, may I know your current oral minoxidil protocol? Basically after the procedure currently not working out. But after a week I’ll be Going to the gym after a 1 month break. Before my procedure, I was quite regular. I’m having some nocebo effect now. As you’re taking oral minoxidil from some time, so wanted to know a bit more about your overall experience 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 (𝐃𝐫.𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡) | 𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟑𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 | 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 | 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝗕𝘆 𝗘𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you’re taking oral minoxidil from some time, so wanted to know a bit more about your overall experience I’ve been taking 5mg of oral minoxidil for almost one year under the guidance of a dermatologist. Luckily I have no side effects. I also take topical Finasteride 0.25%. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted June 30, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2023 I have been on 5mg myself for a year. I think that was the game changer in your repair. It thickens the entire scalp donor area and all. All my hair is extremely thick after one year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if you stop taking it then donor goes back to normal. So there is risk that after HT and stoppage of oral minoxidil your donor may look moth eaten.

Oral Minoxidil works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels. Does this mean hair loss sufferers have vascularity issues in their scalp, that can.be treated by excercise as well. Maybe hair loss sufferers have vascularity issues all over as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No MPB is not a vascularity issue of blood vessels in the scalp. It’s genetic.

Well Dr Pittella doesn’t push Finasteride at all (though he does like oral minoxidil). I guess if you’re happy to use a lot of beard hair and your donor can pull off a natural look, even if it’s thin, it can be done. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Odysseus Posted July 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 7, 2023 Gatsby, you mentioned that in your second procedure you also had hair put into your donor scars. Your posts talk about the requirement to sleep elevated, but how were you able to sleep when you had grafts both in the top and the back? Thanks.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 10, 2023 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted July 10, 2023 I got very little sleep for probably a good four to five days initially. But I just kept my eye on the long term prize. It won’t feel like it but time does fly and it’s a small price to pay for life long results! 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
