It's gonna be a hairy 2023 Thanks @ZeeMan- I like your optimism, however, I’m pretty sure I experienced a small shed, so I think I’m way more than 30-40%, but who knows…time will tell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Team @Eugenix Hair Sciences for all of your support. The entire team, from the docs to the technicians, to the aftercare team to the counselors and the drivers are part of the magic of your clinic. FYI...this is 5 months (not 4) and I am looking forward with cautious optimism to seeing what the next few months bring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SLA Posted April 17, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 17, 2023 6 Months Hi Everyone- I will officially be at 6 months tomorrow. Attached are photos taken this weekend. I am thrilled with the progress from the design, to the density, to the way the beard hairs blend with the scalp hairs. Hair length and styling are in all of our favor in creating the illusion of density, as I have learned- especially for those of us who are NW5 and above! One of my students said the other day..."SLA, something looks different about you...I don't know what it is, but something is different!" I was laughing inside and said, "Maybe it is because I decided to grow my hair out?" He then repeated his statement. I'll probably tell him one day :)! My boss, who knows I had a procedure looks at me and comments in disbelief as to the growth. Hoping for even more progress in the coming months. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, all the informative live sessions you have conducted with doctors to get all of us the information needed in this confusing industry allow all of us to make these informative life changing decisions. This forum and so many of its members have given me so much knowledge and for that reason, I am happy to share my journey with others so they can learn from my experience. Hoping for more growth up to and through 12 months knowing for the potential of anagen desynch, and setting my sights towards a crown sitting and added density (if needed). In addition, the thought of visiting my new 'Eugenix family' in India who are all warm and friendly is appealing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLA this is one of the stand out results that at six months looks incredible. Everything from the cow lick to the angles, temple points, hairline height, etc, make this look as if nothing was ever done. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy (as cliche as that sounds). You have been so supportive of everyone on this forum and I'm incredibly happy for you mate! 💯👌 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things seem to be growing as expected and I have not had any significant shedding...YET. I could be one of the fortunate few who do not experience much shedding, or perhaps the fall has yet to occur. Donor is recovering nicely and I love the design work by Dr. Pradeep. I am confident that the other docs including Dr. Arika and Dr. Das would have also created an excellent design, although the artistry may have differed ever so slightly. I actually kind of like the look with the buzz cut/shaved head and even though the grafts have yet to grow/mature, I am definitely enjoying having hair on the head and the way the hairline frames my face. As a reminder- I take oral finasteride- 1mg/daily and oral minoxidil- 2.5mg/daily. I hope this serves to benefit all in their decision making and HT knowledge. I'll be back in a month to report my month #2 status. I will be back for month #2 updates Your density looks quite similar to mine. I've rescheduled my procedure with Eugenix to July 2024. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
