Did you have an in-person consultation or just a FaceTime consultation prior to booking surgery? What was the consultation like? Hello, I just sent pictures and explained my situation by email, was enough for my case. The morning when I arrived at the clinic for the ht, we made a lot of tests, measurements and plans, this took 3 hours prior to the surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mike8000fue Posted August 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi, They give you a pink shampoo hibiscrub named to use for pimples; why you did not use? I had my surgery on february with them, i also had quite few pimples started 2 weeks after the transplant until 5 months. Contact Carine and she will explain what to do. Follow their instructions.

Regular Member Mike8000fue Posted August 17, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) For pimples only, is for foliculites. For ingrow hairs in my case my wife took them away with her fingers and a needle. I had a lots of ingrow hairs in my beard where dr mwamba extracted the grafts.

Hey Mike, You realize that I already used the Hibiscrub several times for the pimples. First time I used it 4 days, then 4 days stopped, then again for 5 days and stopped, no results. But I got in touch with Dr. Mwamba which is very responsive and he told me to use it as long as I have the pimples, together with Doxycycline for 10 days. But I cannot find the Hibiscrub in my country at all. Anyway, right now looks like the problem got almost solved, I only can see one pimple 4-5 days away.

Regular Member Mike8000fue Posted September 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hi, You can find hibiscrub on amazon.co.uk from there i bought it a bottle of 500 ml and i used only when i had the pimples. Buy it from now to have it, is not expensive, the pimples can appear. Strange is that at my first 2 hair transplants with other doctors i did not had pimples... Good luck!

Regular Member Leos Posted September 25, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hi guys, Today I am 3 months post surgery. I can say that things are going well, didn’t had any pimples at all since 2 weeks ago and the hair started to grow a lot. Only thing is that the redness didn’t disappeared yet but I hope it will. Also started to use topical dutasteride 2 times per week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted September 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 26, 2022 This is looking great! Be patient with the redness, as that can definitely take longer to heal for many of us. I think mine lasted for 4-5 months or so, but once more hair grows in it will conceal it a bit more. This looks on track to be a remarkable transformation. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.

Regular Member Leos Posted October 26, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hello, Now I have 4 months post op and looking great, a lot of hair suddenly comes out from month 3. Still some redness on the sides but not any other issues. I am using topical dutasteride twice a week and shampooing every day ph neutral shampoo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted October 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2022 Might wanna try pure aloe Vera for the redness, it’s very soothing. I’ve also read people using corticosteroids but I’d consult with your doctor first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted November 25, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2022 If it was me I would give the scalp on the front 2 weeks break from using topicals or shampoo. and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted November 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2022 Yeah, I agree with Ryan that you might wanna take a break from anything harsh on your scalp and see if that helps the redness subside. It seems like your scalp may be extra sensitive, so try being very gentle with it for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. Oh - and the aloe vera is definitely worth a shot!

Regular Member Tiger2050 Posted November 26, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Did you avoid the sun for a few weeks post-op? Sun exposure can cause redness, wear a hat when you go outside. Hair looks great at 5 months, gonna be a homerun result after your 2nd surgery.

Thanks man, Yeah, avoided sun light exposure for 3 months post op. The redness is only on the sides where dr Mwamba made a higher density. I will be a different person after the 2nd surgery.

Hey man, already took out the topical dutasteride for 1 week ago, but the shampoo I don’t think it has something to do with it because it’s all natural ingredients. Strange thing is that the redness is only on the sides where they made a higher density than the rest of the scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
