Guys, as some of you already know, I reached out to Devon @ Follicept right here in the BTT forums to see if they would be willing to let one of your own participate in their current hair-loss trial. They are based in FL (a state I reside in) and Devon gladly welcomed a visit from me to explain their current treatment, the science behind it, and ultimately allow me to participate in their trial uncensored and to document my progress throughout here on BTT. I also met with Dr. Hsu at his home where I asked him a series of questions regarding this treatment. He didn't have all the answers, but he believes in the science behind this and I was willing to see if this could work on me and to assist those on here potentially interested in this as well.
Below is a series of pictures. All pictures were taken directly under 6 individual 1555 lumen light bulbs. Camera had flash to show all areas of thinning and not to disguise a thing.
First pic - Hair is "damp." You can clearly see the thinning throughout the crown/vertex area, top of scalp and corner's of hairline.
Second pic- Hair in it's dry state. I posted both pictures because I plan on taking wet/dry pictures throughout because that will tell me if this treatment is doing a thing. I can hide my thinning somewhat when dry, but when wet, I have no where to hide. I want you all to see how it looks both ways.
Third/Fourth pic- Hairline semi-wet. I posted both LEFT & RIGHT corner's of hairline where I'm thinning the most. If hair is spiked in this area, the thinning is MORE
pronounced.
5th/6th/7th pic - Top of scalp completely WET. Hairline is also WET "combed/parted" both on the left side and the ride side to show thinning areas and where treatment will be applied.
The area's shown are BASELINE and before my 1st treatment with Follicept. Again, all the area's shown will be the area of application for Follicept's gel.
BTT, I am solely doing this for the benefit of this community and this community only. I drove a few hours to see Devon and Dr. Hsu because I saw this as an opportunity to try something that may/may not work, but ultimately to share with you all. If you have ideas, opinions, thoughts on more photo's, more angles I should take, then please let me know. I am all ears for you all.
I'll be posting progress pictures really as much as you all like, but would prefer every 2 weeks since I don't believe much will transpire between week to week. Thoughts everyone?
