UK FUT with D Krishnan Ziering

[joely]

How are you getting on scraff and leamanuel? Just over two months for me now and definitely got a few new hairs come through on the hair line, not alot to report in the crown yet!

Iv added a few things to my regime, before i was just on propecia! Now iv added the Igrow laser, alpecin shampoo and a few hair loss vitamins and natural supplements that iv researched a fair bit, i was told by a professional that laser treatment if nothing else will speed up the growth time of the newly implanted hairs

I will probably wait the 2 weeks post OP as well to get back to the gym.

Scraff, do you still need to avoid the sun on your head 6-7 weeks post op?

[Scraff]

Yeah that was the hardest part for me - thankfully as i had FUE i was straight back in the gym day 14 post op for some HIIT.

I can't remember what the recommendation was pre op, but i stopped going the gym a week before, and as much as the 2 weeks after was difficult not doing any fitness i went back really refreshed.

Another difficult thing will be post op when you can't let the sun hit your head. My preseason training starts in 2 weeks which will be the peak of the summer... i've invested in some 24 hour sun block so hopefully that'll do the trick.

[Chillin]

Thanks for the comments guys.

I had my pre-op call, so now just doing the various required tasks which are basically all related to ensuring I have thicker blood. I think one of the hardest parts is no activity for a couple of weeks, when I'm used to doing active training/sports almost every day.

[Scraff]

Have you had any signs of growth yet breakdance? I'm 6-7 weeks out. Stopped shedding 1-2 weeks back so I look like I was pre-op.

I can see small signs of regrowth with very small thick black hairs growing through in certain places, but they are very small hairs, almost stubble like!

[Scraff]

I was exactly the same Chillin, mixture of excitement and nerves. The more I read up online though the less nervous I was and the more excited I got.

Shout up if any questions!

[Breakdance]

You want be disappointed with the service Chillin.

I am 2 and a bit months in. Healed exceptionally well, just now eagerly awaiting the results.......

[Chillin]

Thanks joely.

I'm getting 2000 FUE.

[joely]

Good luck with it chillin, what procedure are you going for?

Any questions your in the right thread

[Chillin]

Hey everyone, been following this thread a while. Got a procedure scheduled with Dr Krishnan mid June.

Excited and nervous about the whole thing.

[joely]

Scraff, i have spots in my donor area some of which are quite big and sore, iv not used any aloe vera or anything like that! Not had any on top of my head though!

Once i finished the shampoo in the graftcycle pack i used baby shampoo for a week or two

[Scraff]

5 weeks post op now and the shedding appears to have slowed down. The two weeks after week 3 i was getting quiet a few hairs in my hands when showering. Redness is minimal now, in fact if i wasn't using Regaine then i don't think my scalp would be red at all. It tends to go slightly red after using it but i'm not too concerned as its probably because its fresh/new skin. I'm not religiously applying it twice a day to give it a bit of a rest.

I've had a quiet a few spots/pimples on the top of my head, Joely or Leemanuel did either of you have spots or am i an unfortunate case!? I'm not sure if its because i was applying aloe vera and potentially clogging the pores up so i've stopped applying it now! Otherwise the only thing i can think of its that i continued to use the shampoo and conditioner that was in the graftcyte pack, did anyone else carry on using it or did you return to a standard shampoo a few weeks after?

Spoke with Steve at Ziering and he's said they will see me whenever I like, but my scheduled next follow up is in 2 months.

It's looking good so far. Another few weeks and that'll be on its way. The worse part is well and truly over.

Did you tell everyone a work about it or have you had excuses lined up. Looking at you there I couldn't tell you'd had anything done.

Good luck with the rest

On photos month 4 seems quite good sometimes too.

Are you putting anymore pictures on?

Yeah here's me today - 3 months in, when I compare to pre op, I can see my hairline slowly coming back
