I had my 2nd FUE operation this past October and PRP was offered to me for $750. I honestly didn't do much research on it before the procedure and opted to just try it. I believe it was done in the donor area. Acell was also done in my recipient area as well. I can't say I noticed much of...

13 Day post op pics. I've massaged most of the scabs off and a few hairs have started to shed. I didn't see any follicles connected to the shed hairs so I guess thats a good sign. Will update at 3 months.

Thanks all - I guess I should just be patient and wait a month before doing anything.

Sorry, i meant to say it was a FUE procedure, so no donor scar to worry about. Still wait a month?

I've done some searches and I've read anywhere from 1 to 3 months is the time to wait before going back to the gym to lift heavy. The post-op instructions from the clinic listed just 1 week post-op before lifting heavy. Could you guys give me some input on what you know/have heard? I'd like...

I'll update with hairline photos once I get past the 2 week mark when I can be aggressive with the scalp. I didn't want to risk things by combing or pushing the hair up at this point.

Well I'm on day 8 post op with my 2nd procedure with Cole and so far I'm happy. It just all depends on yield from this point on. I will update when things start sprouting. Now its time to get back to normal life.

1000mg daily okay?

I haven't been doing much research on treatments and regimens so I didn't know about MSM. I tried googling but I thought I could just ask some of you. Can I get it locally at a drug store?

yea i was going to say the same thing. could you link us to the specific site with more record info?

I'm of a differing opinion as opposed to most on this forum (who really give the best advice for 90% of us). I've always had thinning hair and a high front hairline since high school. Once I got to college it starting getting worse and I had to change my hair styling to hide my thinning...

Agreed with the above advice. I'm 2 days post op on my 2nd FUE procedure. If you'd like to hear instructions directly from a clinic, I've pasted all the post-op instructions below because I've got all this time being a hermit in my hotel room. The assistant that did my insertions added on to...

KP, i didn't know there was a decision to make. Dr Cole just asked or told me what he thought should be done and I said ok concerning the PRP/Acell. I really still haven't read up on Acell at all. I wish I kept better track of how things went last year. I don't remember having to wait more...

I thought I'd take images of the same angles for a fair comparison without the bandage. This time around I'm going to document things a little better to be sure of the progress. I'm also doing everything recommended post op by the clinic just to be sure I did my part. Last year I only used...

I meant i didn't ask or complain about the poor yield in that one area. Sorry, didn't proof. i wrote too much
