I'm 23, soon 24 year old male, suffering from diffuse thinning since I believe the age 19. I was on finasteride from 2019 up until Oct 2020 but stopped due to sexual side effects. I wasn't using anything for my hair until Nov of last year when I started applying minoxidil for my hairline, and then applying it to my scalp since Jan of this year. Recently I see alot more thining around my hairline and scalp, which i hope is just a minox shed, not sure. This is a new pic I took out of the shower.

Hi! One session will be enough for you, since the area of baldness is not so large, in one session we will transplant approximately 2600-2800 grafts using the DHI method. We will restore your anterior line, temporal receding hairline, also will add density to the areas you need.
Also you can try...
A person can shed 100-150 hairs a day. Therefore it seems normal that you shed 20-30 hairs per day. We recomend minoxidil 5% per day. You can continue to use it.
I'm doubtful of the number of grafts transplanted, but at the same time it has only been a short time since you're surgery. Full growth following a transplant could take up to 12-15 months. I'd suggest taking photos monthly to gauge your progress and reassess one year after you're surgery.
