These are my results after 3 months on Minoxidil. More specifically, The MinoxidilMax formulation version WITHOUT Propylene Glycol. I used the regular Kirkland brand minoxidil but after 5 months or so my scalp began to get extremely irritated and Itchy as HELL. By the end, my scalp was covered in acne sort of? They were like pimples or blisters but they wouldn’t pop no matter how hard i squeezed them. So it was most likely inflammation due to the irritation. I didnt get on Minoxidil for a cool 7 months after. Tried Kirkland brand again and the inflammation immediately came back within weeks. So I searched for one without PG(Propylene Glycol). The only one i could find was this one by MinoxidilMax. For anyone having the same issue, its called “Essengen-5 Fast Dry” and its sold on their website. They do ship within the United States and it arrives fairly quickly. I highly highly recommend it for anyone who is extremely sensitive to propylene glycol like I was.

This is a terrific result. This shows that the use of minoxidil with the injuries created by the dermaroller and the healing that follows, produced these results.

I had a hair transplant surgery since one month and week before (on the 20th of June), my hair is full of white crusts as shown in the photos, they exist everywhere in my hair. They are itchy and annoying. They increase with time. I wash my hair every day with a shampoo but don’t dry it to avoid hurting the grafts. I don’t know if this because of the residual of the shampoo or what. How to get rid of these white crusts please? They are very very annoying. I am afraid they affect the transplanted hair. I need your help please. I tried to contact the doctor did the surgery and didn’t reply. I am sorry for your disturbance. 

This is residual crusting and requires a more vigorous hair washing with your fingers and a good shampoo. At this time you can’t harm the grafts so be aggressive.

I had just my first of four sessions of SMP. Look how great it came out?

These results are exemplary of the value of SMP (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/gallery/thinning-hair/ ) We have a break-through at two levels in this field: (1) a new laser tattoo system that allows the process to be done in a single session ( https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/data/docs/pubs/Tattoo%20Pigment%20Delivery%20with%20a%20laser_final.pdf ) and (2) a totally new ink which is encapsulated and is not free to spread once it is placed into the scalp. Spreading of the ink is the #1 problem with today’s SMP. The new ink can still be removed with a laser but it will be much more stable in the scalp. At this time, our group will be the first group in the world using this new ink in the next month or so.

My boyfriend is 22 and is quite noticeably balding on the top of his head. I’ve never said anything about it because I figured he was probably already aware and bringing it up would just come off as rude and hurtful. I really don’t care — sure, I like his hair, but that’s a very minuscule part of what makes him attractive to me.

Recently, though, he mentioned to me that he took creatine briefly while trying to bulk up for a role in a play where he had a shirtless scene. He said he stopped taking it pretty quickly after his doctor advised him to avoid that stuff. He said “I heard it can make you lose your hair and my hairline is already going a bit.”

Take a read of these post: https://baldingblog.com/combover-madness/ and here: https://baldingblog.com/goodbye-combover-hello-hair-with-photos/. Many men practice denial all the way from early thinning to complete balding as suggested here. Some eventually with the help of a wife or child, find out. I, for example, didn’t know my crown was bald until my oldest son (about 18 at the time) commented on my bald spot in the back of my head. When I became a hair transplant surgeon, my wife told me that it would be bad for business if I had a bald spot, so I fixed it. Some men just don’t pay attention while other deny it.

The number of grafts depends upon (1) the thickness of your hair (fine, medium or coarse), (2) the donor density which tells the doctor how many hairs are present per follicular unit and (3) where the center hairline belongs (I don’t see the highest crease of the furrowed brow to measure the appropriate distances). Based upon these three factors and assuming that the center hairline is now in its final position, I would guess that the number of grafts (assuming that the grafts average 2.2 hairs/graft), that it would take 1700-2700 grafts (more if the hair is fine and less if the hair is coarse).

I took both finasteride and dutasteride for 5 months and this is what happened to me
