Regular Member Thagppps Posted September 25, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) Hello, Just got home from HT in Valencia for couples’ days. Just little review and will update my progress her: Overall expereince was very good. Very kind staff, clean clinic and all the practical was taking care from the clinic. You are welcome to ask quetion about the clinnic. I have about 2800 follicles. I don’t know is the density is good enough? I haven’t been on meds yet, bc is very hard to get one where I live i DK. Not gonna lie, little bit afraid of taking them. Any one who have HT without meds ? Edited September 25, 2023 by Thagppps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It looks clean, I'm sure you will have a good result! As far as I know, Dr.Freitas is strict with the medication I recommend taking. I have also booked with him. Please keep us posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HHH Posted September 26, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 26, 2023 Do you have any hair loss, or is this just forehead reduction? Looks clean, all the best, you've chosen a world class doctor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member aykay7 Posted September 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 27, 2023 Congrats, you have chosen one of the hairline masters. What did he say about not using meds? I have my consult there in November and very excited. Also will not be taking meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Thagppps Posted October 1, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) First update: Day 9 The first 7-8 days was diffcult to sleep. I was sleeping on my sofa with platic neck pillow I get from the Clinic. I would have invest in better and comfortabel one if I knew better... What do you think about the hair line and density? Over all, happy and optimistic Donor area: Healed nicely I guess. Edited October 1, 2023 by Thagppps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted October 1, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2023 You’re only day 9 so impossible to comment on potential end results What I will say is that the work looks exceptionally clean and you’ve healed super quickly. You can rock that look in public now and nobody would suspect you’ve had a transplant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted October 1, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2023 Looking great with minimal signs of surgery. By which day were you able to remove all scabbing in the recipient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member GAT Posted October 3, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 3, 2023 It's looking great, I think you'll be happy with the density. I am 5 months out (with Freitas) and it's crazy how quickly it all grew in. I did take the meds and they made a huge difference in quality of my hair. Best of luck and happy growing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TheManeMan Posted October 4, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2023 Looks clean. I only take oral minoxidil. Dunno how things will turn out in a few years without fin though. Would rather go bald than take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Thagppps Posted October 8, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Update 2 weeks: Hair are stil the same as for day 9 update, which is exspected. Starting to get pimples some area in recipent area and there are uneven growth of hairs, the sides are growing faster the middelfront. I started on medication 2. oct. (0,5 mg dut) which was prescribed for Monday, Friday, the rest days on fin (1mg). I’m also on minoxidel 5gm every day. Unfortunately, I'm 2 of 100 who got side effects . I quickly developed side effects, after day one on duts I noticed weird feeling. I don’t know if the side effect are from dut or fin (I read that combined those can increased chance of the side effect, or maybe I’m just unlucky). But I inform the clinic/doctor and they told me to drop dutasteride and only take finanstaride 1 mg and lower to 0,5mg if I didn’t get better in couples of weeks. But I wanted to lower to 0,5 mg fin to see if I get better and then can increase to 1mg later. Seem like I’m very sensitive to meds, 3 days after lowering dose for fin to 0,5 mg. I feel much better but still yet the same level as before. Edited October 8, 2023 by Thagppps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spring15 Posted October 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2023 I don't know if it's just me but that hairline looks very low on the side shot, but still very dense. You should embrace the ugly duckling phase. It comes and goes quick 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
