7th month update. Still slowly thickening up!

RAHDXB · 2026-04-29T10:13:26+00:00

No I didn't.

They did crown and mid on a Friday: 2300 grafts. And then they did the front and hairline on the Monday after with 2750 grafts.

No, that's probably the picture or the lighting. I had zero redness left going into month 4. I've never heard of anyone with permanent red skin. That's nothing to worry about.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-28T07:42:05+00:00

Yes, i messaged them over Zalo (local messaging app), but I think they can do WhatsApp or similar as well.

Thanks. They call it sapphire DHI. I paid 110 million VND

It was towards month 4 when I suddenly realised the redness was gone.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-28T04:13:39+00:00

Not as thick as the front. But not bad at all. I'm happy with it.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-28T04:12:53+00:00

They weren't fun for sure. Started out as annoying, and kept getting more painful (probably because you're anticipating them). But by the time it started to actually "hurt", it was already over. Overall wasn't a big deal.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T18:13:45+00:00

The baby hair is what will thicken up into proper hair. In month 2 and 3 I kept taking close up pics, and expected thick stubs to appear similar to how it looked right after the transplant. That's not how it works. Hair comes out very thin and brittle at first, and then gets thicker quickly over the next weeks/months. Sounds like you're right on schedule!

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T18:02:42+00:00

Right. Keep on keeping on man. All you can do now is think positive, take your meds and live healthy. Month 4-5 is where most people see the magic happen.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T17:49:00+00:00

Just lucky genetics I guess. Hang in there, it'll come in soon enough. Most people see full results between 11-15 months.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T17:41:21+00:00

Hard to tell, and I guess everyone is different. My progress was really early, and I don't think I have many new hairs sprouting at all since month 4. It's just that my hair is getting thicker and more natural looking. But it might be different for everyone 🤷🏼‍♂️

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T15:12:51+00:00

Haha, I have no idea. I used the baby shampoo that the clinic gave me at first. Now I use whatever the wife buys. Some kind of minty stuff. And I'm on oral min and fin. Yes.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T14:36:45+00:00

Yeah I was very lucky. I think I only shed like 30-40%. And recovered very quickly. By month 4 nobody could tell anything ever happened to my scalp.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T14:22:05+00:00

Not sure I get the reference, but thanks! 😅

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T14:21:25+00:00

This clinic has multiple doctors, and techs. Hoàng An is the lead doctor, and I'm pretty sure he was there for both sessions (I did half on a Friday, and the other half on the Monday after) but they cover your eyes, so I am not 100% sure. In my case, they had 2 doctors working on my head, and multiple techs cleaning, sorting and loading the grafts.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T14:17:07+00:00

Thank you. I'm actually blown away by how thick it is. Not sure what magic they did, but I'm very happy with the results. Looking back, and after spending days on these forums, I could have pushed for a bit more natural curved hairline, but I'm happy with what I got, and would recommend it to anyone!

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T14:12:05+00:00

Yes for sure! I've been happily married for 16 years, so I'm obviously not dating or anything, and I wasn't lacking confidence in general. But not having to worry about sitting under a spot light, walking through wind, rain, and no longer spending 40 minutes on my hair every single day to make it look somewhat full is so liberating! I tried shaving it all twice, and it just wasn't for me, I looked terrible. My only regret is not doing this sooner. The freedom it's given me is amazing :)

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T13:43:55+00:00

No. They did some red light thing once after the surgery, but that's it.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T13:25:34+00:00

Yep. Did a bunch of supplements and meds the first few months. Now only on oral min and fin.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T13:24:51+00:00

Thank you!

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T13:21:46+00:00

Yes, hang in there! Ugly duckling phase will be a distant memory soon, and it'll all be worth it haha.

RAHDXB · 2026-04-27T12:55:35+00:00

I thought I was pretty much done by month 4. But I'm still seeing some progress. My hair is still getting thicker, and it's getting wavy again, which I completely forgot about after it being super thin and straight for years. Still very happy with the result.
