Hi,
I'm 25 years old and have been experiencing hair loss for a few years now.What really gets me down is my receded hairline.My hair has always been naturally thin and straight.Last year i discovered concealers(dermatch & toppik), and it made a massive difference to the thickness of my hair!.I would just love for my frontal loss to be fixed,even if its density wasnt that great i could thicken up with toppic ect..
I have been researching for like 5 months now and visited many other forums.I know at 25 my hair loss could progress even more but my hairline has stayed the same since i was 22.
I'm currently not on any meds like propecia because i'm concerned about the side effects.I do fitness modeling and sponsered by some sports nutrition brands.I can't risk it effecting my body as i need to be lean and ripped at all times.
I contacted HDC (based in cyprus) and decided to go for a free consultation in the UK.The conclusion was that work could be done on my frontal loss. Below was the info i received from this consultation...
Your donor area, which has an approximate density of 76 fu's /cm2 which is slightly below average, can give more than enough grafts for the area that is needed to be covered at this stage. According to what we have discussed in the meeting we have recommended that it will be useful to take approximately 1500-1700 grafts. The minimum in one go that an FUE procedure can provide for you is 3500 grafts over three days. Of course after the procedure you will be still left with plenty of grafts to be utilised if ever needed in the future. The 1700 grafts will be used to recreate and reinforce in detail and with great density the following areas.
* Hairline: approximate area 30 cm2 at density of 45 fu's/cm2 = 1350 grafts (First .5cm will have density of 65 fu's/cm2 with only single hair fu's placed)
* Area behind hairline and reinforcing: approximate area 12cm2 at density of 30 fu's/cm2 = 360 grafts
placement of the new hairline
hair cut short(no concealers)
hair grown a little with concealer(toppik & dermatch)
hair buzzed to grade 3
recent pic with no concealers
this was my hair less than 2 years ago grown out(no concealers)
thanks for any advice you give me!.. i'm a little depressed about this right now
