Hair transplant diary (ongoing)

Thanks. Could you recommend any top surgeons in Belgium, Spain or Portugal?

Dr. Nel is considered a GP afaik, you can claim back GP consultation cost.

A week back from Eugenix what a place man when for 3200 graphs and they said they could get 4500 graphs for full coverage. Done over 3 days had been previously been told by a place in Europe (not Turkey) that my donor area was very bad and could only do 2000 graphs They laughed when I told them this and said it was brilliant and couldn't believe I actually had a previous HT done it was so good. The initially were going to take 1000 graphs of my beard but didnt need too. I was so impressed they wanted to do it over 4 days and for me to extend my flight but I didnt want to as it would of cost nearly €700 so they came in early last day to get it finished absolutely class place.

Wow,that sounds brilliant.

You must be chuffed.Are you documenting it on any of the forums?

Its one I'd be interested to follow

yeah it's purely a money scam.. you can go to a normal GP and get a prescription renewed and they won't charge for it

Good to know there are other options like AllDayChemist

Sounds great, though you should have booked 2 extra nights and visited the Taj Mahal (before surgery obviously!) .. it's amazing.. hey next time if you get more work done 😎

Yup

No blood test, but he does measure blood pressure at least. Also does an update photo session on current vs how your hair was initially but that's something you can literally do yourself at home.

It fades to a more natural colour and yeah initially it seemed like it was disappearing but that might have just been me comparing to the extreme dark that it was after the operation. After a year I can still see the pigment and it honestly matches my normal hair very well and the areas still look a lot thicker than they were pre-operation.

See how it is after a few months.

You can also get further top ups down the line if you need, and possibly go darker.

Haven't used Nizoral in ages...too drying. LOREAL Elvive all the way...cuz I'm worth it

Sorry @HBC08 I missed this . I am here https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/65908-where-to-go-next-after-years-of-research/page/3/#comment-705065

But isnt much interest

My procedure was 3 days 4500 graphs and I flew home 4 hours after the procedure from India 😉 Just the way it worked out. You just have to be careful. I wore a surgical hair net and hoody going through the airport and for 5 days after at the request of the Clinic.

I didnt sleep as I cant sleep on planes anyway but had a neck pillow just in case. A ht is no big deal once you are careful after procedure for first week.

Hi. I don't see any discussion on Tir Na Nog clinic. Their pricing seems very reasonable in comparison to going to Turkey. No travel, easier recovery easy access to Doctor (I'm assuming). I have a meeting with them tomorrow. Just concerned there is zero discussion on them on this 60-page thread!

Im about 3 months in now, it arrived mid January. Definitely some shedding in the first 6/7 weeks. I wasnt too worried about it as nearly every discussion and info about it online made reference to it.

Small bit of light itchiness too which I welcomed as I had read one study making reference to people who experienced itchiness seemed to have better results.

Im happy so far with the results. I know thats probably too vague for people but my problem is there are definitely other variables like length of hair and where I am in my hair cycle, and lifestyle, and the changes are not dramatic enough to not consider these factors.

Im a Norwood 3 to 4 and areas at the front that looked like there was too much of a shine and lightness developing are 100% thickening up again. I feel the top/front of my head is reverting back to a stronger/thick look. And my crown area, while far from being cured, it just has a more busy look about it, but still a bald patch there.

I would say at worst it's at least preventing further hairloss for now.

I have read that best results for LLLT is in combination with minoxidil, Im getting married in the coming months so Im gonna wait until after in case any unexpected weirdness or shedding happens.

Overall though I would definitely suggest to anyone serious about reducing hairloss that it could be added to their armory.
