The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalp hair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.
community [25M] After a year on minoxidil, not satisfied. How grafts would I need?
The user is considering a hair transplant after a year on minoxidil without satisfactory results and is advised to use finasteride or dutasteride as a DHT blocker. Suggestions include using microneedling, tretinoin, and possibly needing 3000-4000 grafts for the transplant.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 17 months dut + min + 2800 grafts (5 months)
The user shared progress on hair restoration using dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and 2800 grafts, noting significant improvement in hair thickness and coverage. They discussed the importance of continuing DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride post-transplant to prevent further hair thinning.
community 3 surgery total 7600 Grafts surgery journey
A person had three hair transplant surgeries using 7,600 grafts from scalp, beard, and chest, along with finasteride and minoxidil. Reactions are mixed, with suggestions for alternatives like hair systems or scalp micropigmentation.
