Wow! big difference from month 2-3 to 5
I am now month 3 post-op after an FUE fix with Mwamba, and I still see little to no signs of growth, unfortunately. 

Good luck to you! and this looks like it's going to be a success for you

At 3 months you’d expect to see nearly nothing. Thats only when you’ll start seeomg the the first ‘signs of life’

Hi Leos.

Your hair growth looks good, but redness that lasts more than 5 months is not normal. What does your skin look like under the light? Is it perfectly even? Do you notice small bumps around the grafts or uneven, slightly raised skin at the hairline? I'm asking because I have seen chronic redness in people who have cobblestoning and rimming issues, but I hope that's not the case for you.

Hi guys,

Month 5 updates, a lot of hair comes out and is looking good. Still the redness didn’t disappear and I don’t understand why. Using topical dutasteride twice a week and Ph neutral shampoo every day.

Great results! You’re a fast grower. I had ongoing redness but it seems to slowly be fading.

Hi Matt,

Skin is looking normal, no bumps or raised skin.

So are you going for round 2 at 6 month mark, or you will wait more?

I’ll wait for few more months for the second round, but certainly I will do it again.

6 month update:

 

Great Results. I scheduled to have surgery with Mwamba in a few months. Would you have any recommendations on where to stay in Brussels?

Sure,

I highly recommend B&B HOTEL Brussels Centre Louise, it’s only 5 minutes walking from the clinic and definitely the best price/quality option. Rooms are amazing, big, clean, modern and very nice decorated.

Awesome result. Credit to Dr Mwamba.

Re. the redness. I have slightly different take on it.

The redness is a sign of blood near the surface of the scalp, right where you need it to nourishing the FU's.

It may have contributed to your impressive growth.

The redness will fade over time.
