Hair transplant diary (ongoing)

Not sure but maybe it would be too harsh on the skin or the plastic?

Edit: actually I found this after posting.. seems 99% would evaporate before properly cleaning

Nope, 90%+ isopropyl is actually quite poor at killing bacteria. It damages the bacteria too aggressively, causing its cell wall to coagulate too quickly. The layer of coagulation actually then protects the bacteria, preventing the isopropyl from coming into contact with it. Also, 70% has just the right amount of water in it. Water slows the evaporation process, resulting in longer contact time with the bacteria.

Looking great, what regime do you follow now (i.e. what meds and how much/how often) ... and are you dermarolling (what size mm and how often)?

Also will you be getting SMP to fill in any remaining areas?

Hi all. Thanks for this really useful thread. I wanted to add a point about saw palmetto. I’ve been using it along with beta sitosterol over a few years and feel adding beta s really made a difference. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it but might be worth looking into if you’re on or thinking of using saw palmetto.

I also wanted to ask about Tir na nOg clinic - I went for a consultation there and was impressed. But I see very little mention of it on this thread. Very few responses to previous questions. Is there a reason? I’d really appreciate anyone’s experiences. I’m finding it hard to take the plunge. I went to consultations at a few other places, including some more expensive ones, but felt more positive about Tir an nOg really.

thanks

Hey, I use tablets of both, ordering on Amazon from the UK. At the moment 500mg of beta s (ecovits) and saw palmetto from pureclinica.

I posted this in the other HT thread. Definitely worth a listen.

Dr Nel spoke with Dermot and Dave today and highlighted the importance of taking finasteride for a successful HT and what other clinics tend to do to keep clients. A perfect example was the second segment where a listener told his experience of a HT with another Irish clinic.

Yeah seems so, and considering he only got 2500 graphs he probably has a lot of native hair susceptible to further loss.

Definitely not. Ailesbury wouldn't be too impressed if that was the case.

This is true,of the 1000s of clinics around the world from the very top surgeons to hair mills to backstreet butchers you won't find anybody else on the same page as Ailesbury clinic in Dublin on this.Avoid at all costs.I say this as someone who had a consultation with them and there were many red flags

Where did you hear that?

Hello there !

I got hair transplant with ailsbury about a year ago now and I am not happy what so ever. I will be going to war with them until I get a refund. I haven’t seen anyone else’s HT from them but you say you were happy, which is good. I think it’s hit and miss in there.

any chance you could share you results so I can compare in some way to mine ?

would be a big help !

thanks

He meant 95% fail if they dont take finasteride.

They do offer a written signed guarantee that 95% of the implants will remain in place (or something similar) though I think they would normally offer additional sessions for free rather than money back...so there might be a case there.

Dr Andre Nel is the only place in Ireland to get a hair transplant. Yes more expensive but his work is top quality . I had a procedure in the beacon 3 years ago ,they where cheap but they did a terrible job, I have had to get another hair transplant to repair the work done there and add more density, I can honestly say that Dr Andre Nel and team are expert’s In what they do and will only do the procedure if you agree to take the medication he tells you to use

I just found the consultation very brief and vague . Didn’t even examine my hair during it , i made the mistake of having a hair transplant with the DHI in the beacon which is now under a different name but still managed by Justin who is just a sales rep and again the consultation was very vague . Dr Andre Nel will go through everything with you and is realistic and not just out to sell you something. I know he is more expensive but I am very happy to have paid the extra money for him to carry out the hair transplant.
