DHT effects even the DONOR area

All of you,


Look at this six-month post op pic of a guy who got six-thousand transplants. He started Proscar, thats five mgs of finasteride (he's proboably cutting it into quarters) the day after his surgery.

These are six month pictures. Look at the sides of his hair, look at the back of his head. He's had proboably about twelve thousand follicles removed from his hippocratic wreath. Look AT THE SIZE OF THE HAIRS NOW THOUGH, EVEN IN THE WREATH........................the sides too.

Whats different boys? The finasteride. Thats what.



This is what I want all of you to learn from this.............................................................if you have baldness, its most likely that ALL your hair has a degree of sensitivity to male hormone. Old bald men often just have a very small hippocratic wreath in the back left. Not even twenty five thousand hairs. You will bald to that point someday. Propecia, by cutting DHT levels in the body over seventy percent, will drammatically slow the process...............................................................but even in the guy pictured above, his hair after two years, will slowly start to miniaturize again, ever so slowly. He should be back to where he started in twelve to fourteen years. He is buying about twenty years on propecia alone. There are other things he can add (topicals like revivogen, spironolactone, fluridil, that might help stave off baldness longer), but ALL his hair has some sensitivity to DHT (and proboably other male hormones too).

This guy is OK for now, but that bald spot, which may get smaller over the next year and a half, will start to re-enlage over the years if he does nothing, getting quite big. You only have so much donor hair. He might be happy for the next fifteen years, but what then?

The hairs are "bigger, and thicker" arent they?

Good question :)

I think the donor area is affected to some degree, of course. But the majority of the hairs there probably aren't, varying from person to person of course. Thus a degree of thinning of the donor area occurs.

But with HM they will probably either work out a way to select follicels which arent sensitive to DHT, or just use trial and error and keep topping up your hair with non-dht multplied follicles.

Of course, this is just completely baseless speculation :)
