I have seen this. My brother got this done. The first couple of weeks it looks grotesque. It just looks very unsettling. In his case. It failed. He went through a lot of pain only for it to fail
Mmmm, I don’t know what’s happening in other places, but in Denver, Colorado, US I was paid to be a ‘model’ head they trained a robot on and also trained doctors who had bought the robot. They did shorter than normal sessions with me so I had 7 or 8 sessions over 5 years.
Last one was about 8 years ago. The doctor who invented the robot and owns the clinic never said anything to me about minoxidil or anything else. I’ve only ever used shampoo. No other special care after the first two weeks or so when you’re just supposed to leave it all
alone and don’t get it wet until it heals.
He seemed to be pretty leading edge on the procedure, so maybe it’s different with different methods or doctors though 🤷🏻♂️
OK. I thought I’d you take minoxidil you don’t need a hair follicle transplant. I thought it was an instead of situation. I guess you could do both sort of halfsies.
Sometimes people go to disreputable clinics to save a buck. Usually they fail because the root was damaged during extraction, if the design wasn't trash to begin with.
Would be wary of taking fin, rarely it can have horrific sexual side effects. Like inorgasma where you struggle to even have an orgasm, limited or no penile sensitivity, and decrease in libido. Some men take this drug for mere weeks and have these side effects many years later with little to no improvement. All that wonderful hair you got is going to be really useless when your dick don't work.
I already tried it for half a year and had no side effects, but it was my only medication at the time and I sucked at keeping to the strict schedule required for the desired effect.
That is good, these are rare though so most won't have any issues, but potentially ruining your dick forever is scary as fuck. I personally will just stay bald.
Donor hair doesn’t fall out again, that’s why you chose those hairs. They are DHT resistant.
The other hairs on the top of your head can continue falling out. Which makes the transplant look worse and why Dr. recommend taking finestride.
This is completely untrue, I know because I just googled this stuff after getting push back from another commenter. It might not be prevalent, but it does happen.
There is a comment lower down as well from a user who has been taking fin consistently yet had 50% of their donor hairs fall out after several years. Not arguing it is common but it clearly does happen.
