It takes about a year to get any reasonable results from either minoxidil or finasteride. Stick to it if you go that way

A video by Instpathology which shows the circulation of the cells that build a hair follicle. Terrific view of what is continuously going on, on your balding scalp. You can actually see the new hair cell being produced from the bulb of the hair follicle (dermal papilla).
This is a reasonable study. Read it and try it if you like. I don’t see a down side https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4289931/
What can I do about this? It has been over a year and the grafts did not fill in my bald spot
I would have to (1) know how many grafts you had taken and (2) see your same picture in another 3 months with the same hair cut. That will tell me if it is an over-harvested donor area. I would hope that the redness would be gone in a week or two.
Interesting with what appears to be a good double blind study. Impressive; however, more subjects are needed for it to become a standard treatment. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3819075/
This is an interesting new approach to hair loss. We need to wait to see the FDA safety and effectiveness studies on this compound. Mystery compound found to be safe and effective at treating hair loss. Details in comments. from tressless
With 4,500 grafts done, clearly there was a failure of growth in much of the grafts. That means that what you had done was not a good deal or your team with not the best team. Another FUE is most likely out of the question because it would create donor site balding, but a strip […]
You can use topical minoxidil even if you are treating your high blood pressure with other medications.
Some do and some don’t. The younger you are, the greater the chances that you will have good results, especially if your hair loss is early.
Finasteride takes months to acquire the real benefits. The hair loss may slow or stop quickly, but its real benefits, if they occur, will take at least a year. If you are fortunate to find a doctor who has a HAIRCHECK instrument, he can report back to you what the ACTUAL benefits of the drug […]
The angle of the hair growth is determined by the surgeon who creates the recipient sites. The direction of the recipient sites, which is made with a needle, has an angle that will eventually dictate the final hair growth direction. I can’t tell from these photos the direction apart from the curl to your hair. I would […]
By this time, I would have expected more growth than you are showing now. I recommend that you go speak to your doctor. In the discussion, your doctor should address the number of grafts that are growing, what you and he expected, and see if you can arrive at an agreement on expectations. If there […]
Anagen is the growth phase which lasts between 2-6 years depending upon sex and age. Telogen is the sleep phase which lasts about 2-6 months. These hair cycles occur in every human being on the scalp. It starts when we are born and continues until we die unless we have genetic balding.
If it was not there before, then it is new growth. You must always compare before and after states of the area (best with good photographs) as you are looking at.
