So as you know, I was nervous about overharvesting, my donor area was so red, and there were gaps on that area I though I lost my hairs completely. But when I texted the clinic about my complaint, to be honest I was so angry, but I must say they were very into my problem, got a quick text that...

hello friend. i saw you were thinking about surgery with cosmedica. do more research on them before deciding. you can see my experience with them in the 2 posts below... https://www.hairestorationetwork.com/topic/56481-donor-area-6-months-post-fue/...

This for me was the biggest issue. Hopefully you won’t experience any sides, but if you get testicular pain, you’ll know instantly and won’t want to go anywhere near finasteride ever again I tried to persist on and off for months, with smaller doses but it just wasn’t worth it for me in the end. Good Luck

I’d agree with @jazz1, try and get multiple protocols going in combination. I’ve used different minoxidils in the padtand the only real difference is that regaine irritates my scalp massively so aim for one that doesn’t contain alcohol (propylene glycol). Try and micro needle once a week in...

UPDATE: he’s now had a hair transplant. Let’s see how it progresses :)

Is this definitely the correct conversion? How do you know that? Genuinely interested as I don’t know. I’ve never been able to find a reliable conversion amount. I read different things all the time. If that is the case, then most topical fins are quite strong. I see a lot over 0.25%. The...

So with 0.5 everyday you maintained stability with your hair? And no sides?

Have any of you tried experimenting with dosage? If so, how much? Did you experience less sides? Did lower doses still have a positive effect on hair loss? Ive had a love hate affair with finasteride for years. Mostly hate, but trying to lower the dose currently for the first time ever so curious if...

Good luck pal and please share your experience once you have had the surgery

I wish I had chosen HLC from the beginning :(

The problem with clinics like this is the technicians. Although dr acar makes the slits, he does not place the grafts. So the technicians decide which grafts go where and how they are placed. In fact dr acar probably only spends 1 hour with you while the technicians do the other 6+ hours. I...

Yep, I’ve pretty much tried every length. It looks awful at shorter lengths. I’ve attached some pics with shorter and longer hair. My best defence does seem to be longer hair. My thinking is the other way around. Add some grafts to the area, then further SMP sessions to add density should I...

Hi guys, just thought I’d update this thread as it’s been a while. It’s now over 12 months since surgery. Donor is still over harvested, I’ve resulted in an SMP session, but also decided that’s not the long term solution I want. I’m planning on heading to Brussels in the new year for a donor...

Excellent results mate. I had a surgery with cosmedica too about a year ago, but wasn’t fortunate enough to get the result you got. They completely destroyed my donor area. How’s your donor looking? I feel like it really is dependent on which technicians you’re assigned on the day. Looks like...

Definitely don’t go with cosmedica. You’ll end up with an overharvested donor and poorly designed hairline.
