kundun,

Congrats on your berad grafts. Hope they grow well for you and let us know how the yield goes.

When you state "implanter", did they use the "Choi Implanter" or was it one that another doctor developed?

[kundun]

Yes they used these Choi Implanter Pen.
In the afternoon 2 doctors were injecting the hair. 5 ladies filling the Choi Pens.
In Europe this would be impossible to do because it is too work intensive.

I was just curious to see if any other clinics were using the Choi Implanter which I understand that DHI developed sometime around 2003.

Wishing you the best in regrowth and the final result. Thanks for sharing your case with us.

I don't think many clinics use the Choi pen due to the work intensity.
I know GHO is experimenting with injection of hair roots.
When I had my transplant there 2 years ago he injected a few. It could have been a Choi pen. For sure it was not a high tech equipment.
With the prices GHO has and the small treatment he does you can do it with a Choi pen.

Are you using Rogaine? My doctor said it helps thicken the hair.

[kundun]

Vinny, it will further improve.
When I had my treatment with Gho 2 years ago it also took very long.
I understood you were in Turkey. Have you visited the clinic ?

[vinnytr]

Photo taken today .

Not using rogaine as liquid version gave me a bad itch and dandruff .
Taking biotin from the beginning .

@Kundun ; Yes but didnt have a chance to visit the clinic .

Looks decent, it was a slick bald area from the start. Have you tried styling your hair differently, eg comb forward.

[kundun]

From top of the head it looks always worse than from the front is my opinion.
Made a pic of my head yesterday. Was shocked how bald I am...
Am now on 7 weeks after HT.
DR. Doganay advised biotine against shockloss. I was already using it over a year but still main part fell out.
I started using minox 5 weeks as adviced by Dr. Doganay. Have no dandruff.
Perhaps you should try the foam.

I totally agree ,it looks good from the front

I used foam before and I never had problems , might go back to that .

[kundun]

I started using Keratene a few days ago.
Don't know if it will do something.
Read on the forum that someone whose blood was tested had no drop in DHT level.

you should experiment with concealer like Toppik, it will really help you IMO.
