    First time here...

    Hey Jotronic Great website, very informative, and well done for taking the effort along the way. Are you going to get the crown done with next procedure. Should look really good once thats filled in. You just have to look at your before pics to see that its worthwhile. Thats what I do when I...

    Transplant Diary

    Hi thinman The chances of going from NW7 to NW2 for 10k (not sure if thats US or UK), either way, no chance..sorry. I was probably nw4 to nw2 4500 grafts and total cost of £10000, but theres hotels and flights to figure as well. Also if you are considering arm or body hair, then FUE is the...

    Transplant Diary

    Kebabman Yes I think im at the max that can be done by hair transplant now. Ive had about 4500 units, aprrox 10,000 hairs. I have a small sized head too so has given me good coverage. Im about NW2-2.5 now and for my age thats just fine. I think I had massive shedding this time because they were being...

    Transplant Diary

    whiskey I reckon I must have been one of Dr Jones last strip patients. He tried some fue on me when I was there, and they worked a treat. The next week he converted totally over to FUE. I had strip done before, am a good healer and had no beef with the scar. Its been just over 2 months since...

    Transplant Diary

    sal1 I know how you feel about the shedding. I emailed my pics to Dr Jones and he had never ever seen a shock loss so bad as mine. I lost nearly 75% of hair in front of the crown, including previous transplants. It has been tough last 6 weeks as it has been growing back in at different rates...

    How's everyone healing?

    nelson Had my procedure done sept 12th, and the worst bit is over now, can see them starting to come through. Went number 2 hair cut on friday, sharp intake of breathe, and scar is not too noticeable, happy for that. Just got to get a dose of patience. Even braved going out to a nightclub on...

    How's everyone healing?

    sal1 Glad to say the shed is over, well had to be just about 75% of hairs fell out. Had no option but to go for a buzz cut, number 2 all over. Advantage is I can see all the hairs coming back, I had no option as it looked daft, thick hair on crown and back and stubble at front, at least this...

    One session is not enough...

    sal1 No, with previous procedures didnt need any cover up as no shock loss, and probably 50% of grafts never shed, was a bit unlucky this time, so think you should be ok. Just dont rush things, take 10 days off work and treat them carefully.

    One session is not enough...

    Sal1 I think I was just very unlucky this time, having had no fallout from 4 previous procedures. Scar is great, and new hair after 5 weeks is coming through, sure/hope the shocked hair will come back too. Having never used Toppik before I had no option but to use it this time, and must say I...

    One session is not enough...

    Oh man am i not imagining it, its serious fall out. I had not had any fall out from previous procedures but they were all only 600 and at the hairline, this was a larger session and was placing grafts in between mid section to give greater density. No obvious reasons, cant say was anything to do...

    One session is not enough...

    kebabman / brucelee Good luck with your growth guys. I too have just had my latest hair transplant by Dr Jones in Toronto, with 1400 grafts. Procedure itself was fine, did it to get the best density I could, but disaster has struck. Holy $hit did I get shock fallout, Im crapping myself right now because...

    hair transplant when your thinning

    DZ Only on cost grounds I would go with proscar cut into 4 giving you 1.25mg, its much chaeper and just as effectibe as Propecia. If you can, take the minoxidil twice a day, and shampoo with nizoral 3 x a week. From a business point of view you could get away with Toppik but fi you have/meet...

    hair transplant when your thinning

    dz Nizoral 1% or 2% is easily available at any drug store and dont use more than 3 times a week, but start it asap, and its less than $10 a bottle. Also consider seriously using 5% minoxidil asap too. You can use generic stuff from costco or wallmart at very low prices(its the Kirkland brand...

    hair transplant when your thinning

    dz Do as they said, and dont even think about hair transplant for at least another 12 months. Try propecia, minoxidil, nizoral and give it 12 months. I know its not easy because we are here because we obsess about hairloss, but try, try not to visit here too often, take the treatments and see how you...
