A Little Update

Posted on Sunday 29 July 2007

Well it has been a little over a year since I got my transplant procedure and my life has completely changed for the better. I used to be morbidly depressed about this condition and I haven’t been that way for a long time.

I receive around 2600 grafts.. I can’t remember the exact number. I only had work done on the hairline.  I am happy with the results.

My current regime consists of Avodart 0.5 mg per day, Lasercomb every other day, Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and a bunch of supplements.  I had side effects with Propecia (gyno) but for some reason these are not present with Avodart.   Hasson and Wong have noticed that patients get fewer side effects on Avodart as compared to Propecia.  Who really knows though, everyone is different.

Here are some pics of my Hairline presently.  My camera is an older one so they are not great, but I think you will get the gist.

    James, holy crap! That looks fantastic! You must be so happy with this. I think Dr. Rahal did an amazing job (from the looks of these pics at least). Money well-spent by you!

    Thanks Sam. I would do it again in a heart beat. My hair loss has definitely stabilized too, with the use of my regimen.
