My doctor gave me a year prescription for one does of 2.5MG, once a day. I just had my 3 month follow up and he said to continue doing this until my 8 month follow up. So far he has not given me an end date unless I see any negative side effects. So far, no side effects at all. I'm sure if I upped the dose to 5MG like many others here use, I'd probably see something in terms of negative effects.Good luck with the growing.
Can you tell us what your doctor said about oral minoxidil please and why he recommended it/how long for?
cheers
I am a Norwood 3, if that's what you mean. I don't know if I'll go through this again. In a year from now I'll make that decision.@GaryinGeorgia what pattern are you diffusing in? How many FUEs are you prepared to have over the course of your life?
It looks better. Not perfect by a long shot since it's only 1600 grafts and it can only do so much. Some areas are slightly thinner than others. It's to be expected as not all the grafts held, but I feel like a good 75% or more took root for sure. I just got a haircut and many of the grafts are close to being evened out with respect to the length of the non-surgically grafted hair. I did notice a few other grafts that JUST started to grow too. They're really small and thin though. I hope that changes in the next couple of months. Next month I got for my 6 month consolation to see how things are progressing.Very interesting case, especially since I have basically the same pre hair line. How does 5 month look?
This is how I currently have my hair styled.just out of curiosity, how do you style your hair? mind posting pics?
I agree, 500 or maybe a little more would really make me happy. I may break down and do it next year at the 2 year mark. As for the doctor, this forum is touchy about stating names of doctors that aren’t accepted and sponsored, so I don’t know if I’m allowed to say who it was. I can message you directly if you want to know. It was a doctor in the US and I would absolutely go back to him again for the next session, if I choose to do that.Think it would have been nice for you to get maybe 500 grafts more for some added density, but looks good still. Who did you get it done with?

Well that's what they said it was and that's what they charged me for. What does it look like to you?That didn't seem like 1600grafts.
