A 7-month update from Markoj44 regarding their hair transplant results, which includes the use of topical finasteride and minoxidil in combination with Viviscal, biotin, Nizoral shampoo, and donorarea photos. People responded positively to the post.
Celonius discusses hair loss and plans for a FUE Hair Transplant, but worries about how it will look when shaved in the future. Derhab21 suggests going for the transplant and mentions potential future treatments like Breezula and stem cell injections.
Treating Seborrheic Dermatitis, a fungal scalp condition which can cause hair loss. Treatments discussed include antifungal shampoos, cold showers, exfoliating the scalp, taking Vitamin D, and stimulating the prostate through the anus.
A human trial of verteporfin, a potential treatment for hair loss, with some users noting potential improvements in scarring and overall healing compared to control areas.
A human trial involving verteporfin for hair regeneration, with the results showing some regrowth of 1-2 hairs in an area where a follicular unit was extracted. The conversation also suggested that future studies should involve higher doses and more frequent injections.
The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
A 25-year-old male with DUPA (diffuse thinning including the donorarea) has not seen improvement after 14 months on finasteride. He's considering switching to dutasteride (DUT) after advice from a hair loss YouTuber and is also contemplating trying RU58841.
The use of tropoelastin injections and verteporfin for hair transplant recipients to help regrow donorarea hairs, as well as research done on tropoelastin injections restoring elastin in scarred heart tissue and skin. There are discussions about why it is taking so long to get cosmetic mass produced tropoelastin injectables on the market.
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donorarea to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
The user is exploring alternatives to hair transplants due to a weak donorarea and is currently using finasteride, minoxidil, dermapen, low-level laser therapy, Nizoral shampoo, and a high-protein diet. They plan to switch to dutasteride and consider adding RU58841, while rejecting hair systems and considering a buzz cut.
A user's successful hair transplant, with some people questioning the donorarea regrowth, and others speculating that hair fibre may have been used to help fill in areas.
The conversation discusses the potential cost of hair transplants if verteporfin allows for an unlimited donorarea, suggesting that prices could vary based on the number of grafts needed. The user speculates that costs could be calculated per graft or a set amount for a specific number of grafts.
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donorarea, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
The user had a rough week after being told they couldn't get a hair transplant due to insufficient donorarea and worsening balding. They were advised to increase their oral Minoxidil dosage and consider switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride.
The user is dissatisfied with their hair transplant results from Asli Tarcan, citing poor donorarea management and insufficient graft density. They advise against opting for cheaper procedures and express hope for future hair cloning solutions.
The user is happy with their 6-month hair transplant progress of 4600 grafts in Turkey and has been using finasteride for 5 years and minoxidil for 4 years. The donorarea is in good condition, potentially allowing for future hair reinforcement.
The conversation is about someone's six-month hair transplant outcome, with a user suggesting the use of finasteride and minoxidil to improve hair growth. Another user commented on the poor condition of the donor hair area.
The conversation discusses FUE hair transplant surgery, including questions about donorarea recovery, success rates, precautions, hair growth rate, and the safety of PRP injections. It also inquires about using hairpieces post-surgery.
Getting a hair transplant without using finasteride or dutasteride for at least two years can waste donor hair, as these medications can lead to significant hair regrowth in areas like the crown and mid-scalp. Delaying a transplant allows for better results by maximizing natural regrowth and preserving donor hair for more needed areas.
The user is considering a second hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation to address thinning in the crown area and hide scars from a previous transplant. They have been using finasteride and minoxidil for three years but are concerned about the appearance of their donorarea and the effectiveness of scalp micropigmentation.
A user who got a hair transplant and gave their experience with it, including how the donorarea recovered quickly and the potential risks of getting a hair transplant at a young age. Other users discussed bleaching and dyeing transplanted hair, as well as asking about the clinic where the procedure was done.
A 35-year-old man had a hair transplant in 2019 but experienced further hair loss due to not using finasteride or minoxidil. Many suggest shaving his head or considering a hair system, as his donorarea is depleted and further transplants may not be viable.
Theo Von discussed undergoing a hair transplant and is reportedly using finasteride. Joe Rogan also had hair transplants but faced challenges due to thin donorareas and not using finasteride.
