I had a very small strip about 2 years ago. Turned a NW2 into mybe a 1. I'm 38. The hairline artistry is excellent, but could use a little more density in the temples. I'm considering the Feller "lunchtime" procedure to achieve this. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance for any...

A quick question...I had a strip for 1000 about 15 months ago - temples only. I was a NW2 or 1.5 at the worst. Now I basically have a normal adult hairline for a 37 yer old. I'm very happy with the artistry, but not the density. Its OK, but I can still tell the differece in density from the rest...

Saw an infomercial about this stuff called "Scalp Med". "Magically regrows hair" or something to that effect. I have no doubt that its junk. Just curious - anybody heard of it?

Any recommendations for the best FUE docs to increase temple density after strip procedure? The best? There is usually no shortage of opinions on this forum!

Sorry, no pics. And I also don't know what the exact density is statistically speaking, but is is noticably "thinner" than the rest of my hair and hairline.

I had a small strip procedure (1000 grafts) about a year ago and I'm pleased with the design of the hairline and also the healing of the scar. I would prefer if there was slightly more density in the temporal regions however. These are the only areas in which I had work performed. I went from...

I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same thing at 19. It sucks. Talk to a Doctor about meds, shave your head or somehow find a way to deal with it. DO NOT GET A TRANSPLANT NOW. It will only cause you more heartache in the future. If you think you are unhappy now, just wait until you are 25...

It's like anything else in life - it's all relative to our own perceptions and unique personalities. Baldness doesn't seem to bother some people; others (like myself) are freaked out about becoming a NW2. I became about a NW1.5 around 19. My hairloss has stabilized(knock on wood)and I considered...

The hairline was filled in from a "U" type of shape into more of a "V" type of natural looking widow's peak. They did go between hairs and slightly rebuild the sides. The scar has healed fairly nicely in the back. I can tell where it is, but then again I know exactly where to look. My hair is...

Hey guys- I am now 10 months post-op from having 1000 grafts into what was probably a NW1.5. I'm very happy with the hairline itself, but slightly concerned about the density. Everyone says to wait a year, but will 2 more months make much more difference in the density? I don't currently use...

Hey, thanks Gill. While I have your attention on the subject - Is Nizoral part of this Nioxin family? In your opinion, if you had to recommend a shampoo/treatment routine in an effort to retard future loss, what would you suggest? Thanks as always...

Hello Everyone. Quick question- I decided it was high time I started a Nioxin routine, but when I went to the store in my area that sells these types of products, I was completely confused at all of the different kinds of Nioxin bottles that were on the shelf. There had to be 20 or 30...

Thanks for the replys so far. Damien and Fnoltish, Its only been a week sine the staples are out. How did your donor area feel to the touch at this interval? Also what did it look like at this point? I don't really have the luxury of going back to the surgeon for his opinion because we are...

Hi guys. I had a small strip procedure (900 grafts or so) for my frontal hairline. It was performed 15 days ago by a VERY reputable doctor. I had the staples out this past Saturday (5 days ago) by a different doctor in my home state. I'm starting to panic slightly at the condition of the...

Gillenator, What are some of the strategies to minimize shockloss? In your opinion, if I was just aiming to turn a NW2 into a NW1, would shockloss be a concern? I wear my hair longer in the front in an effort to camoflauge the receded area. I certainly would not want to loose that hair just...
