Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted June 11, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 The weak side doesn't seem too bad. I think you are in for a great result. I also like how oral min seems to have helped you getting some early gains, makes me confident and provides me further reassurance that it's the right call starting it after my surgery in the upcoming days. I also hope to get those thick eyelashes. It's a side effect I would certainly welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weak side doesn't really bother me to be honest, I know it's early and will fill in and has filled in a good bit in the last month. Would defo recommend the oral minoxidil. I considered not taking it as I didn't want to be on any other meds, but really glad I started it and will probably continue long-term 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the same position a few months back but the recent feedback I have been seeing here among other places made me reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jay80 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 I can see within the next couple of years it becoming more popular than topical minoxidil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, proof of that is that companies such as Manual or Sons already started selling it online so its just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jay80 Posted July 9, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2023 5 MONTH UPDATE Didn't expect to be at this stage at 5 months, but really happy I am. Last 3 weeks or so I've seen crazy improvement in the thickening of the transplanted hair. My right side was lagging and still is, but has made great improvements in the last few weeks. In certain lights I still have some thickening to go, but indoors the density looks great. Some of the transplanted hair is still wavy and a bit like public hair but I'm sure it will change . Didn't think I would get any new hairs popping through but my hairdresser said there are still a good few multis that have just popped through or in the early stages of growth. She also said she has never seen a transplant at this stage at 5 months and is really shocked. Was good to hear that. So good not to worry about a hairline anymore. Can't wait for the final result. My hair at the back and sides is a number 1. Might go for a full skin fade next time and see how the scars look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted July 9, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2023 This is amazing! Congratulations man, really glad it paid off. Im still at the start of my journey, got 90% of scabs pretty much over with today, I hope that in a few months time I can say the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jay80 Posted July 9, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2023 Cheers mate. Time will fly for you. Getting the scabs off is a really great time, felt like the start of the process for me and the end of the worst of the initial recover. Trust the process and let your body do the rest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jay80 Posted August 22, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2023 6 MONTH (SORT OF UPDATE) Sorry folks, On holiday for August and part of September so won't be a full update until I'm back in the UK in September. One quick pic, trying to recreate similar conditions to previous posts, at a window looking into direct light. Haven't seen huge changes other than slight thickening of hairs, especially in my right and front/right side that was weaker. Seen friends who saw me immediately after surgery in February and they can't believe how natural it looks and how thick my hair is (thanks oral minoxidil). Two of them are now going for transplants. This pic was taken yesterday at 6 months and 21 days. Will do full pics in September. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
