Going for repair at Shapiro Medical Group.

Hi Thincity. Nice to hear from you. It’s possible that your loss is slowly continuing, even with the meds. This is when others have decided to up their regimen to Dut for example or some switch from the foam to oral minoxidil. Maybe send your recent pictures to Dr Ron for his opinion.
I recall you saying before that the foam worked well as a styling aid.
Poor work is happening all the time as more untrained/unskilled people/clinics decide to add hair restoration as a money maker thinking it’s a simple procedure.

Hi Everyone, Its been a few years since I've posted, and thirteen years since I had my repair with Dr. Ron. I've had no additional work, still continue with 5% Foam nightly, 5MG Proscar, and try once a week to use Nizoral Shampoo. As I had wrote a few years ago, my hair is mostly silver and gray, which actually looks much better with a better scalp/hair contrast. The lady that cuts has been cutting my hair for twenty plus years had a serious fall injury, so she has not cut my hair in over four months. As most of us know getting a new stylist came be very stressful. My current stylist has been able to cut my hair the shortest it's ever been since before any transplants. One scar (a triple stacker) on my right side is almost always lightly exposed for about a week post haircut. I still have a disk of Dermatch, which i use a tiny amount on the scar and it works great. I also found the best hair product I have ever used, it's called Layrite Deluxe Natural Matte Cream. I buy it on Amazon or Walmart whichever is cheaper. As my hair is fine and thin it works amazing and is water soluable, no stickiness. It holds very well even in stronger wind (I do use more as my hair gets longer). I'm very thankful for Dr. Ron's repair and also happy I did not run into any further procedures at this point. I should note that I stopped using the foam during the day, and while it did help with styling and making my hair look thicker, it runs and streaks down your face if you sweat (very embarassing). I'll give some serious thought to posting some pictures here,

What a journey you have been on, and still going. You have documented it very well, and it makes for a good insight on what people might have to go through. Thank you for an excellent read.
