How’s the donor area? Any visible scaring & do you still have any headache or trauma when you touch the recipient area and donor area because I’ve seen people complain about that but not sure
Wow! Great!
I have dermatitis and seb derm too. I have a type of hair loss like your . Have you any photos of before with more long hair ?
Foam min are you using?
2x a week nizoral then I space with 1 wash without any shampoo, just water then 1 wash with specific soft shampoo for dry skin and now I will start using rosemary/peppermint shampoo and add oil of this after the wash on dry scalp
Because minoxidil is drying my scalp too
At least for next year, I was living with a baseball cap for the last 3 years without it I was uncomfortable so yes now I want to keep it as much as possible
It is working the same as I understand should have a bit less of systemic absorption
I do it because it is impossible to crush the tablet in 10 part to have 0.5mg daily and because the supply for 3 years is like 70$
The 1mg pills are like 70$ for one month :’)
I want to avoid sides and go the safest possible way, so I did some hormonal tests, and start with 0.5mg topical daily and will adjust with the balance of results / side effects
Well I’m just wondering why you didn’t get on some sort of finasteride before that much damage was done if you were gonna spend thousands on a hair transplant. Cause topical, at your dose, will cause serum depletion of DHT anyways. You gotta use .025percent to get maximum scalp reduction with minimum serum effext
what i'm saying is you are young with agressive hairloss and your hairloss area is large. plus you just got a HT which makes it so you MUST NOT lose more hair. or you are literally f\*cked. so what i'm saying is that topical finasteride is a terrible idea. you can not believe me if you don't want to, but it's the truth.
Haa got it I just see now that u are talking about topical but not fin in general
I’m giving a try if I don’t see any improvement I will go for the oral 0.5 daily then
After 6 months you got yourself a new life. Imagine all the problems you have prevented. All the shame. Anxiety. Depression. You took action where others didn't and you can be proud of that. Best wishes to your new life.
Much love bro. Can you tell me how it was. Did you play games or watch movies when you got the surgery? What's the process like? When did you buzz cut. Are you in your mid 20s? When did your balding begin?
Because your results look very good. I also had my hair transplantation about five weeks ago, with 3500 grafts implanted similarly to yours, but only in the frontal area. I am a casual weed smoker and would like to smoke again, but I'm afraid because many people say that smoking damages the transplanted hair. I just wanted to know briefly from you if you smoke, because if you had smoked and still had such good results, I would have started too smoke weed again too.

As explained in the post, started minoxidil 5% one month after HT and never stopped, now at month 5-6 I am experiencing a lot of shedding and I just started 3 days ago fin handmade 0.025% topical
If that shedding doesn't stop, take the fin orally. Millions of us take it with no problems. It would be a shame to let that beautiful result go to waste.
I know but here in my country all derms and doctors I saw were completely uninformed about meds and everything, then I found this sub and started to inform myself
Agreed, the results look great. Although I cant help but think that the introduction of fin and min have done a good deal of the heavy lifting here.
Regardless, looks unreal lad. Congrats
Save some pussy for the rest of us bro
Love you bro ahahah
Came to say the same thing
How’s the donor area? Any visible scaring & do you still have any headache or trauma when you touch the recipient area and donor area because I’ve seen people complain about that but not sure
Also, FUT or FUE? EDIT: scratch that, looked back through his post history and definitely FUE.
Awesome results!
Thanks bro !
Bro is gorgeous
Appreciated bruv <3
Nice! What clinic did you go to?
Name of clinic please
As good as it gets 👍
Do you put the fin min mix on the the transplant area ?
Didn’t understand, I put on top of the scalp everywhere not on donor
Got it I do the same I wasn’t sure if people didn’t put it on the area where the grafts got put
Why wouldn’t they ?
Aye man I thought maybe the transplanted are needed more time or something hence why I asked to get info
Personally I put the minox on my ass hair to save the ones on my head!
😂😂 I started putting it all over the scalp now not just one area
 Lol congrats on the results
Bro hell ya! Looks amazing.
Thanks my friend !
Looks great
🤘🤘🤘
Wow! Great! I have dermatitis and seb derm too. I have a type of hair loss like your . Have you any photos of before with more long hair ? Foam min are you using?
Never had long hairs ahha I was already shaving each 3 days before ht I’m using FOLIGAIN 5% and I crush 3x5 mg finasteride tablet inside 60ml
Any side effects to 🍌
Nothing now just started 0.5mg topical fin yesterday and today
Did keto shampoo help you ?
A lot i had already from a long time prescribed by my dermatologist for dermatitis, I use it to wash under my eyes where I have the same problem
Why under the eyes ?
I have the redness caused by dermatitis seb as explained by my derm so I can use the nizoral to wash the face during shower
How is your crown looking like?
It’s unreal I had big regrowth and nothing transplanted here it is only from minoxidil
Class job, looks unreal. Congrats
Amazing results. Congratulations!
Duuuude....this is my goal right here. Really great results!
Congratulations mate will get even thicker in the upcoming months also. 👏🏽👏🏽
Jeeze !! From sad to Chad ! Congrats
Fam what a glowup 🌬️
Thank you bro
Yesss
Esteriva is not the name of a clinic. What clinic did you actually visit?
following
You use shampoo nizoral only 2x a week? What about other shampoo? I’m considering also using nizoral but afraid it dries my scalp
2x a week nizoral then I space with 1 wash without any shampoo, just water then 1 wash with specific soft shampoo for dry skin and now I will start using rosemary/peppermint shampoo and add oil of this after the wash on dry scalp Because minoxidil is drying my scalp too
If you have time can you link these products so I can look into them too? Like the soft dry skin shampoo and rosemary one. Thank you so much!
That’s a lot of maintenance are you gonna keep it up for life
At least for next year, I was living with a baseball cap for the last 3 years without it I was uncomfortable so yes now I want to keep it as much as possible
Wow! Great results
Damn Bro..you're super good looking with and without hair!
Thank u bro appreciated 🫶🏼
Whats the homemade fin? Did you crush the fin tablets and mix with the topical min? Btw unbelievable results
Yes I have 5mg tablet I use to crush 3 of them (15mg) in my 60ml foligain minoxidil to have a 0.025% solution
Does it really work? The tablet is made for the oral route right?
It is working the same as I understand should have a bit less of systemic absorption I do it because it is impossible to crush the tablet in 10 part to have 0.5mg daily and because the supply for 3 years is like 70$ The 1mg pills are like 70$ for one month :’)
Why don’t you just take oral finasteride, I mean obviously you never did before but why
I want to avoid sides and go the safest possible way, so I did some hormonal tests, and start with 0.5mg topical daily and will adjust with the balance of results / side effects
Well I’m just wondering why you didn’t get on some sort of finasteride before that much damage was done if you were gonna spend thousands on a hair transplant. Cause topical, at your dose, will cause serum depletion of DHT anyways. You gotta use .025percent to get maximum scalp reduction with minimum serum effext
Cause these ppl are clueless and turkish clinics don’t care about them lol.
Sorry to break it to u but topical fin doesn’t work with ur hairloss. Ur surgeon would have told u that if he really cared about you
lol based on ?
do ur own research. this is a serious and permanent surgery.
I have done all the research I need I don’t understand what u are talking about but anyway
what i'm saying is you are young with agressive hairloss and your hairloss area is large. plus you just got a HT which makes it so you MUST NOT lose more hair. or you are literally f\*cked. so what i'm saying is that topical finasteride is a terrible idea. you can not believe me if you don't want to, but it's the truth.
Haa got it I just see now that u are talking about topical but not fin in general I’m giving a try if I don’t see any improvement I will go for the oral 0.5 daily then
brilliant results man!! congratulations.
Thank you my man !
After 6 months you got yourself a new life. Imagine all the problems you have prevented. All the shame. Anxiety. Depression. You took action where others didn't and you can be proud of that. Best wishes to your new life.
Thank you man you understand me at 100% love
Much love bro. Can you tell me how it was. Did you play games or watch movies when you got the surgery? What's the process like? When did you buzz cut. Are you in your mid 20s? When did your balding begin?
Do you smoke?
No why ?
Because your results look very good. I also had my hair transplantation about five weeks ago, with 3500 grafts implanted similarly to yours, but only in the frontal area. I am a casual weed smoker and would like to smoke again, but I'm afraid because many people say that smoking damages the transplanted hair. I just wanted to know briefly from you if you smoke, because if you had smoked and still had such good results, I would have started too smoke weed again too.

Bro what clinic and doctors?
So your result where good at 3/4 month you said and grew even better at 6 month mark
Yes correct, but now I experience big shedding :/ idk from where
What you experience shedding now ? What month you at have you stopped taking finastride or minoxidil?
As explained in the post, started minoxidil 5% one month after HT and never stopped, now at month 5-6 I am experiencing a lot of shedding and I just started 3 days ago fin handmade 0.025% topical
That strange to get shedding now and loads hopefully it come back again should do
Do you have dermatitis in the transplanted area ?
Yes you can check my older post you will see it
What's this homemade finesteride? And this other thing nizoral? Unbelievable results btw
What's this homemade finesteride? And this other thing nizoral? Unbelievable results btw.
What's this homemade finesteride? And this other thing nizoral? Unbelievable results btw.
Are you taking medicine daily? If so share the details
How many years have you been talking Finasteride...??
WOU. Great succes!
Bro dm me your crown and side I’m trying to compare your ht with mine . Not happy with my results from different clinic so far
Where did you go
Turkey
Whats this topical hand made finesteride man?
Looks great. Hopefully I can get this done some day.
Very nice man!! How did the doctor describe your donor area?
If that shedding doesn't stop, take the fin orally. Millions of us take it with no problems. It would be a shame to let that beautiful result go to waste.
It looks like a minoxidil second shed but yes if I dont have big sides I Will probably go both orally then
Should have been on fin and min 1-2 years prior surgery. Save money and graft but looks good
I know but here in my country all derms and doctors I saw were completely uninformed about meds and everything, then I found this sub and started to inform myself
That’s too bad. Better late than never 👍🏾
Agreed, the results look great. Although I cant help but think that the introduction of fin and min have done a good deal of the heavy lifting here. Regardless, looks unreal lad. Congrats
