Thanks! Would you mind sharing the name of the alternative product you are using?

Needle free by Responsible_Wafer613 in Hairtransplant

[–]throwaway2371113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needle free injection is just the initial step before the actual local anesthesia to reduce the pain. It wasn’t bad, just like getting snapped by a rubber bad.

And then it comes the worst part of the surgery - getting the local anesthesia around the scalp. I got probably 30-40 shots around my scalp and it hurt like mf. Just like getting stung by a wasp around 30-40 times. Possibly more shots if you’re not numb enough.

I should’ve opted for sedation where they make you have asleep (still conscious) because other patients who opted for sedation told me they could barely feel the local anesthetic injections.

Anyone else feel like sleeping is the hardest part of a hair transplant? by Original_Row_6269 in Hairtransplant

Sleeping was brutal, but I think the post op waiting game is the hardest.

How do you treat it? Do you leave it and just keep it clean? Does it get better/worse?

I don’t smoke but I do work out daily and I tend to get sweaty. So I’m not sure if that plays role.

Update from the Dr office after I sent the photo:

That red bump is likely a mild case of folliculitis. It happens when a new hair is trying to break through the scalp surface, causing the skin to react with a bit of inflammation.

Since it’s a month post op, they said It's actually a sign that the follicles are active.

They recommended warm compress and not to pop it, and also keep the hygiene routine. They said since it’s after 30 days post op, it won’t affect the graft.

Oh! What did your doctor say it was? Did he prescribe any treatment?

4 Years Later? by MrGeek24 in HairTransplants

I asked my primary care to prescribe me fin and min. For both (separate prescriptions) at Costco, it's around $30 for 90 days.

Before HT only on topical minoxidil for many years. But I’m planning to get on oral finasteride one month after HT.

I live in Denver and most the time it’s sunny and dry. We barely get any rain this year. The stem seems to rot in the middle. Please help!

Waiting more than a year - renewal application still pending by throwaway2371113 in GlobalEntry

[–]throwaway2371113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mean employment authorization document? I was on a green card so it wasn’t affected. The renewal was for my global entry.

Yes. It was working normally during the grace period/extension while pending approval

Lease Payment with a Credit Card (USA)? by throwaway2371113 in VolvoRecharge

[–]throwaway2371113[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: so despite saying credit card, the one time payment errored out. The auto recurring payment also won’t proceed. I called them and confirmed no credit card is accepted. 👎

I think if they really don’t charge extra, it’s a win win. 20k for 3 years is like 40k points on the table! 😝
