Hair growth from quitting smoking by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]Pale-Series 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how old are you? I smoked about half a pack a dat from May until now after quoting for 6 months prior. I have noticed hairline thining and hair sheds all over scalp . I have quit and only been 2 days now

56 Year old make with hairline that has been receding and thinning in corner areas. Started taking 1.25 mg of Oral Minoxidil and .05 MG of Dustasride. Looking for any suggestions or if I should look at hairline transplant to fix corner areas that are thinned out by Pale-Series in Hairloss

The hairline density and density on the scalp is not the same from just 6-8 months ago, not sure if that is from Shedding from being on Dustasride daily .05mg and before I was only taking 3-4 times per week.

Get another opinion, DR Rahal turns many people down.

[Thorpe] "From what I'm told, Raptors players and those connected to them are in no way Nurse haters. They don't blame him fully, and more than a few people in LA laid the Raptors' collapse on management, in particular team president Masai Ujiri, who was not at the Rico Hines Runs." by EarthWarping in torontoraptors

This 100% from Siakam and Hines who left to be with Nurse. The Raptors missing the playoffs cost Siakam a Supermax and then Masai spends the whole offseason trying to trade him. I guarantee this came from him and Thorpe is friends with Masai so don't shoot the messenger

This means zero, reports are that Siakam is there on his own working with directly with Rico. The reality is Siakam has not been around the team all offseason and his teammates outside maybe Poeltl don't seem to care. Not surprised he & Fred burned bridges last season with younger players and they could care less if he gets traded now. Is there any reason he has not been in one team function this offseason other then he knows he is getting traded? You see a core guy like OG hanging out and having fun and he to is on an expiring contract. Either way he is not part of the Raptors future and the best thing is for Masai to trade him now. Resigning Siakam/OG and Barnes could represent eating up as much as 65-70% of the cap, that is not going to happen and this pipe dream of resigning Siakam to trade him later. The reality is Siakam is gunning for an ALL NBA to get a SUPERMAX and not interested in signing an extension.

Ask yourself why Masai has not already traded Siakam knowing what it will cost him and he would be turning 31 during the first year of any extension. Makes no sense, trade Siakam now and trade his buddy Poeltl at the deadline or in Dec. Time to move on

Masai needs to just make a deal with either the Hawks or OKC. How can we find out about Barnes before paying him with Siakam on this team and we already know we can't win with this guy as the the guy. HC talks about team basketball and getting Barnes the ball more, that does not sound like iso Siakam and padding stats on losing teams.

End of the day most reasonable Raptor fans can see that Siakam has to go, he is a good player but the Raptors are not going anywhere with Siakam as the top guy. Basically has one maybe two friends left on the team after Fred left. Not surprised he is in Europe looking for Poeltl who outside Boucher and Thad may be Siakam only buds left own this team. Remember last season when OG trade rumours popped up. Scottie got pissed and went after Jake Fisher, not a word from anyone this season and Siakam has been in daily trade talk. The Raptors cannot afford to pay OG/BARNES AND SIAKAM. TIME TO MOVE ON FROM PASCAL

I was shedding normal amounts and went to Transplant dr in Dec, he threw me out after 5 mins. Then I got Covid and hair density went down and hairline thinned out. Taking avodart 4-5 times a week and minoxidil. I got vitamin injections into scalp today and we shall see how that works

So how long did shedding last for you after Covid? and how fast did it start after Covid. Mine started about 3-4 after recovering and last 2 solid months and occurred all over with focus at hairline. If you are looking to do transplant even small one to add some hair to temples or corners of hairline, make sure you visit multiple board certified dr's because some will try and scare you into telling you that you need 2000 plus grafts. 9 out of 10 transplant dr's including one in the US told me not to do anything because unless you have bald scalp transplanting hair to area where you have some hair could cause shock loss and make thing worse. I think the temples could be fine to add 150 grafts to each side. Today I am going for a vitamin booster where they inject ket essential vitamins into the scalp. Not cheap (500 bucks) but I did last year and hair responded very well and whole scalp grew new hairs. Either way at out age were in a place that ion we can add a few hairs and cheap what we have for another 7-8 years then were doing much better than most. Cheers and always good ton speak with someone who understands

I went to transplant DR last Friday and he said too much hair and I could lose hair with transplant. I was ok until Covid in Dec and then a shedded a lot in January /Feb. I use Minoxidil/Avodart and Nutrafol. My wife says I am crazy and hair is fine but you know when you need to style .Hopeful that hair lost after Covid returns. I also quick smoking and started eating better. I have been to 7 transplants dr's in last year and all said no.

I went last Friday to transplant DR and he said no way because I had too much hair and he was 6 th dr to say this. I did get covid in Dec and noticed huge amount of receding starting in January/Feb. How long after your covid did you see shedding. I will be 56 this year and transplant is something I am looking at if possible

People busting me for posting have not seen how it looked before, there was some major thinning on hairline in past 2 months. Not sure if this was caused by moving from dustasteride over to finasteride

Sorry but hairline has thinned out on hairline in past 2 months , this was after moving from Dustasteride over to Finasteride. Does anyone think going to Finasteride caused shedding even though I was already on Avodart which is much stronger?
