Hello hello, Young Bald Boss!
This time I would like to introduce you to the significant changes I have seen in the hair transplant area since 11 days have passed since I had hair transplant surgery!
Also, as the title says, I have been losing a lot of hair recently, and I will tell you how it is going!
Photos and details of changes on days 8-11

When you compare with the pictures, you can see that the scabs are almost gone and getting cleaner around day 9~11!
In particular, the blood spots have disappeared nicely!
However, I am a little worried because I heard that in a little while, the planted hair will fall out once…
Symptom Changes
The major change in the last four days is that the scabs have mostly been removed and the scalp of the hair transplant area has become a little reddish after the scabs were removed.
Also, the donor area is still somewhat itchy.
The top of my head feels stiff.
According to the clinic, this stiffness can remain for up to a year for some people who have had it for a long time.
However, if I am not conscious of it or do not touch it, it does not bother me that much!
Unstoppable hair loss
Photos of the amount of hair loss
Anyway, the amount of hair loss was extremely high this summer.
These photos were taken around 8 days after the surgery, and as you can see from the photos, I still lost such a large amount in one shower & dryer…!
I am very worried that my hair transplant area, but not the other parts of my hair, is getting even thinner again…
I am currently taking the following medications and supplements.
Medications and supplements taken
Medications have increased since last time
In addition to the Duman 0.5 mg and zinc supplements I am taking, which I mentioned in my last article, I started taking a 10 mg minoxidil tablet containing minoxidil, which I imported privately, on the 8th day.
*Although the following instructions are quoted from sales sites and other sources, please be sure to consult with your physician before taking these medications!
If you are interested in the details of the medications I was taking until day 7, please refer here!
Hair Transplant Diary with Photos – Day 5~7
Noxidil tablet 10 mg (for treatment of hypertension)
Noxidil tablet is a Medication that lowers blood pressure by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, thereby widening blood vessels.
Minoxidil, the active ingredient in Noxidil tablets, promotes increased local blood flow by widening blood vessels, resulting in hypertrichosis. Hair and other body hair may become thicker.
■Side effect
Tachycardia, pericarditis, hirsutism, hair color changes, and abnormal electrocardiograms may occur.

The recommended starting dose for adults is 5 mg (0.5 tablets) per day. If necessary, the daily dose can be increased to 20 mg (2 tablets) and then to 40 mg (4 tablets) per day.
When increasing the dose, the dosage should be increased within a range of 5 to 10 mg (0.5 to 1 tablet) per day over a period of at least 3 days.
After the daily dose reaches 50 mg (5 tablets), the dose can be increased by 25 mg (2.5 tablets) per day.
Duman 0.5 mg (male pattern baldness treatment)
It contains the same active ingredient, dutasteride, as Zagallo capsules. It is a medication that prevents hair thinning in men with male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia).
■Side effect
Sexual dysfunction (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems)Liver dysfunction, jaundice, and other symptoms may occur.

■Usage

I take one 10 mg Noxidil tablet, one Duman 0.5 mg each, and two zinc supplements daily before bedtime.
Summary
In the past few days, most of the scabs have been removed, the planted hair has grown back, and it looks much different.
However, I am very concerned that there is still a lot of hair loss, and I am also a little worried about the coming hair transplant shedding that will begin in the next few days.
Also, when I compare my current condition to the photos in other people’s progress blogs, I feel that while each hair planted is thicker, the density is somewhat lower. (I don’t know if this is true or not)
There is still a long way to go before it is complete, but I will patiently update you on my future progress!
Thank you very much for reading to the end! ☺
Please look forward to my next update!
