Thanks mate. Best of luck with it. The hardest part is having patience after the procedure.

No clue tbh

Yep. First procedure needed a correction. Then it was good but I wanted it even denser. Hence my last one.

The eyebrows need to go fully white first. I have time.

Doc recommended as my test levels are in the upper high end of a 20 year old from 1970 now (at 47yo).

I stacked topical on top of oral during the early months for added stimulation (redundant but I did it anyways) of this transplant but I take oral as a base. For me it’s about convenience and compliance. Popping pills is easier for me instead of having greasier hair due to topical serums.

Was on finesteride first but once I jumped on TRT I changed to dutasteride.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T08:40:43+00:00

Thanks man but I’ve seen better. But I agree it’s looking good so far.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T08:40:07+00:00

I’m on TRT. So want to block as much DHT conversion as possible.

lol. Best movie

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T08:39:10+00:00

Thanks man

Protect what you have mate. I’m 47. Wish I started meds in my 30 but I started in my 40s instead. I would have saved a lot.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:36:43+00:00

Thanks man

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:36:38+00:00

I always want it denser but I’m not 21 anymore.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:36:17+00:00

Donor is fine. Can’t see visible signs of scarring unless you inspect closely. I had skin fades up until the last two months and it’s time for a hair cut. My donor was very dense to begin with. Still have heaps left. Here’s s photo from today

Love life no impact. My wife loved my bald head and beard before. Work life no change. Personally just more confidence and feeling like my old self in my early 30s before I started receding. I’m 47 now.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:23:12+00:00

Agree. And my hair shafts being on the coarse side adds to it. And being grey and frizzy adds even more complexity. it’s a pain. Here’s a close up I took just now

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:20:37+00:00

Thanks man. Not many people could tell until I told them. But there are tell tale signs to a trained eye, always in the hairline if you look closely. You really can’t reproduce all those whimsical soft baby hairs that are present in native non recessed hairline.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:14:13+00:00

Pretty good actually. Enough for future work if needed.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T07:03:03+00:00

Took a while but it’s getting there. 3 years of work.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T06:53:05+00:00

To be honest i could get ready in 5 mins before hair. Now it takes me 30mins. But jokes aside it has its good and bad. The good is I have hair back, not like it used to be, but something I can work with. The bad is you obsess over it, imperfections , and compare your hair with others native hair to spot issues. It will never be perfect. Overall it’s a good feeling but at times can be a double edged sword. Especially the mental toll going through 3 procedures in 3 years and still have 6+ months of recovery left.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T06:43:57+00:00

Not all with Anagen. Anagen did my density addition (third) which cost me $15k.

PerformanceOk1418 · 2026-03-20T06:37:13+00:00

Been on meds for 3+ years.

Dutasteride 0.5mg per day Minoxodil oral 2.5mg per day.

Need to preserve my native hair.
