I was but I feel it’s slowed a little… no the hairline is definitely thicker but I’ve seen this is common that the hairline can often grow first … also more hair was put into the hairline

We also notice the hairline more and as you pointed out, it had more grafts placed there.

Yep and also I still had a small amount of hair at the front which has obviously thickened with the dut

There's a definite Ben Whishaw look to you. I'd be interested to know how you coped with the transition from wearing a system to having a HT. I did the same 9 years ago, although I'd been wearing a system a lot longer than you. Liberating is certainly one way of putting it in my case!

It was pretty easy … I’m wearing a hat all the time at the moment but I did anyway!! It is very liberating ! No more sticky horrible mess … i wouldn’t change it though, it really saved me having my system.. definitely a great option for those who don’t want to go down the surgery route

10 days off the 5 month mark… I’m excited to see what the next couple months bring ! Will I notice much growth in the next 10 days … who knows, but I should definitely see a significant change soon … here is a new picture… I’ve filtered it but it gives you a good perspective of that the end result should look like

I think you’ll be very happy with the end result, plenty more growth and maturing to come. Not even half way yet.
Thanks for the update.

I think so as well… I will be having another surgery at some point soon.. maybe end of the year ! Which will put me upto about 6000 grafts roughly … this should supply adequate coverage for my NW5 head haha

Looking fantastic!

Did you get a breakdown of the hairs within the grafts? (Singles, doubles, triples etc)

Here are two pictures… one is before any surgery and any treatment … This result is a combination of one session of MESO PRP (Dutasteride Mesotherapy and Acell PRP at the clinic ) plus topical dutasteride 0.1% and dutasteride mesotherapy 0.01% from home between sessions which as I explained I do 4 times a week… you can clearly see a huge difference in my crown area now, after only a short time using DUT. I think we will see significant growth over the next couple of months

Your response to the treatments is very positive. No side effects right?

Looking great. You are responding well to the meds. Hopefully, you get enough growth that prevents the need for another Ht in the future.

Yes, you’ve gone from bald to full head of hair. Which concealer are you using? Try to use as little as possible, it looks more natural.

Closing in on the 6 month mark now… still no huge change but things are improving gradually …. I guess the moral of the story is … everyone’s timeline is totally different ! I had some great early growth, and expected month 5 to be mind blowing ! Due to what I’d seen online. Saying that… I have also seen a lot of evidence and studies suggest that it is In fact more from 6 months to 8 months that the significant growth occurs ! Moral of the story is… don’t panic we are all built different … it will happen when it happens

Hey Guys



So I have had my second hair transplant with Dr Mwamba 10 days ago now. This time 2300 grafts for my crown and zone 3, making it a total of 6000 grafts. 80 of those grafts were used to create a widow's peak on my hairline.



I also had my second MesoPRP session at the clinic before the surgery (PRP with Acel and Dutasteride Mesotherapy combined) and started oral minoxidil (2.5mg daily).



I am experiencing quite a bit of shedding but Dr Mwamba says it's normal given the second treatment, surgery and specially oral minoxidil, and that my hair will recover in 3 months. So I'll be back with a video at month 8 or 9 and update once my hair recovers and the second transplant starts growing out. I must say my donor is looking like nothing has happened and I am extremely happy with the management and results so far ! Couldn’t thanks Dr Mwamba enough !
