Hi I have been on minoxidel since I was 17 years old and now I am 18. I started mine journeys like 6 months ago and I think I made some progress but not very sure that’s why I am posting this post. I started losing my hair very young age like 15/16 years old when I started going to the gym and the las few months it has been killing mine confidence how do y’all deal with it?
Greats
So this is my first post on reddit please be kind.
Hi all,
I had my hair transplant on 25th December 2025.
You can see my pre transplant image.
It was a massive session with 6k grafts and took around 16hrs +
I have had one prp session and one exosomes session.
I am eating multivitamins and Finasteride.
When i compare my hair with what my friends looked like at this stage, i seems to have very bad result.
The last image is at 4 month.
Should i be getting worried now?
I consulted with my surgeon and he is saying. “I should do a vit d test and start taking vit d, and also start minoxidil urgently. The growth looks very low at this stage”
Which is making me even more concerned.
What you guys think?
Jan 17th, on the left to April 21st on the right. Using topical twice a day, sometimes I miss a day. Or only use once but 90% of the time I’m using twice every day. Very curious to see what the full benefits will be for me after a year. Because I’m already satisfied
Hi all,
I'm trying to probe if this app I made is useful for anyone else
After browsing the web and not being satisfied the current hairline tracking apps out there I decided to make my own. Initially, I just made it for myself but I thought I might as well chuck it on the play store. I need to do a round of closed testing before it can go on the play store. So if people are interested in being an Alpha tester feel free to DM me!
The main idea for the app was to have a completely local and private app, free from AI assistants, webservers or companies to track your hairline.
Current features include:
I want to make this app completely free! I'm slowly fixing bugs and improving these features. If you'd like to be a part of the process DM me!
Cheers
• Surgery performed in January 2025 by Dr Ted Miln
• 7,848 graft FUE/FUT hybrid performed over two day
• Largest hair transplant performed in the UK!
• Patient presented with Norwood 6 hair loss
• Patient, Mike, is 6ft3” with larger than average head size meaning large recipient canvas to cover
• Donor area characteristics are excellent and would sustain another surgery for greater density or refinements if desired
So I was consistent with meds and laser hair helmet for over a year but in the last couple of months I noticed a huge improvement all of a sudden and my hairline went from very bad to almost back to perfect, I believe the gym had helped massively
Will I expect to see these new hairs thicken back like my other hairs or will they be forever slightly shorter/thinner. Good news is it looks perfect with a short haircut
1 year update post ht / Dr Mahmut Satekin, 4550 grefts, Fue technic, Clinic: Hair of Istanbul,
Im personally very satisfied with the result. No fin no min
Current stack is dut 0.5 + min10% once a day with topical tret once a week. Currently can’t see any difference. First round of pics is when I started(14/12/2025)
Second round is the 4th month mark (14/4/2025)
Apologies as I know the first pics are when my hair is wet compared with the most recent which are dry
Pictures 1-2 (before) , pictures 3-4 (after). I’m really happy with the results I’m seeing. Only just recently started to see the results and have struggled constantly with the thought that I would only experience shedding and that the treatment was only making stuff worse. Believe it or not but my hair wasn’t even wet in the picture one. It was just that bad and was also quite oil as I’d been avoiding washing it in the shower as it made my hair look thinner and frizzy. The treatments work people, if you need them get on it and don’t believe the uninformed people online. Most of the results I’ve seen are in overall density and feel so don’t translate as well but my hair feels genuinely 3x thicker than before. Feeling on top of the world rn
Hello everyone,
about 8 months ago I started a treatment with finasteride (1 mg) and oral minoxidil (1.25 mg).
At the beginning, I experienced significant hair shedding, which stabilized after around 3 months. However, in month 6 I entered another shedding phase that is still ongoing. The overall condition of my hair hasn’t really changed since then.. it seems more or less the same. Don’t know if I ever get more density..
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Je suis actuellement à 6 mois, et je trouve ça encore très clairsemé, avec pas mal de manque de densité, surtout pour 4550 greffons implantés.
Je vais joindre :
- Photo avant la greffe
- Photo du jour de l’intervention
- Photo à 10 jours
- Photo à 3 mois
- Photo à 6 mois
Je prends 1 mg de finastéride par jour, ainsi que des multivitamines, de la biotine et de l’huile de pépins de courge
Selon vous, est-ce que je peux encore espérer une bonne amélioration de la densité dans les prochains mois ?
Est-ce que certains ici ont eu une grosse évolution entre 6 et 9 mois, voire jusqu’à 12 mois ?
(J’ai l’impression d’avoir moins de densité qu’à 4mois)
Merci d’avance pour vos retours.
2 years on dutasteride , had aggressive temple receding due to genetics , 2 years in and finally good hair is comming
attaching my 6 month results. just finished my 5th session for diffuse part line thinning.
wanted to avoid a full transplant shock loss for now. clinics in the us treat exosomes and stem cells like an overpriced luxury spa with massive markups, so i went with a medical focused protocol at modi hairplant in seoul.
the density is definitely improving and the part line feels tighter, but i want to log the actual drawbacks because it is not all smooth sailing.
around month 3 i had a massive shedding phase and completely panicked. to be honest, their whatsapp communication is a huge drawback if you are overseas. because of the time zone difference, it takes them a full 24 hours to reply. sitting around waiting for a clinic to text back while your hair is falling out is incredibly stressful and made me seriously regret not staying local.the shedding finally stopped and
the results are showing, but if you travel for this, be prepared for the communication delay. just putting this data out there since non surgical logs are pretty rare.
