Could you expand on this? At end of 2018 I had a great experience with his team (feel free to see my thread under FUT section). In terms of their professionalism, his ethics and the result of natural appearance, I'd say he is definitely quality. I don't have any other personal experience with...

:D I'm well aware that my choice of style has never been popular, but that's fine. After all, I spent my teens in the 80s and still somewhat stuck there. I do believe the fringe-over-forehead look does frame your face in your favour though. Luckily for most of you, the classic short sides and...

Is that what the surgeon recommended? I had my facial hair grown for 2 weeks before heading for my procedure with the same idea. During the procedure, it was decided that it was not a good idea, as all my beard hair were single strands which were only good for the hairline, and the hairline was...

2. From all the posts I have seen, FUE scars should be minimal if the surgeon is decent. Body hair has a different texture; my understanding is facial hair is the most widely used due to their similarity to hair on your scalp, but they're much coarser, so it takes some good work to make it look...

Today marks 12 months since I had the procedure done. I couldn't say there has been any development to report since last update. If anything, I've started to forget about the fact that one year ago my frontal third looked like a bar code,so I'd say I'm generally satisfied. This is definitely one...

I totally get that. However, after this experience would you feel comfortable going back to the same surgeon ? Erdogan is a once very reputable name who more recently has many less-than-positive reviews stating similar issues, and most people seem to put it down to the technicians. It seems that...

In that case, I'd tend to agree with your asessment :/ . Any grafts that will grow should have grown by now, and you kept an eye on the progress. I am going to guess because there is still a significant improvement from the baseline, they will claim success and give you no refund. If you truly...

Obviously everyone is different, but I had pretty much the same thoughts as you at that stage. By 9 months, all my new grafts have started to come out, but due to being new grown it just didn't quite make the longer hair that were already growing look thick enough. Perhaps once the length all...

At a glance it looks decent to me, however photos can be misleading, especially with the length.... A more accurate method of measurement will involve looking closely at the number of follicles per cm2.

If this is the case, good for him! However, this is a forum for open discussions sharing our experiences (good or bad). Without everyone's input we wouldn't be as informed as we currently are, so I feel that it would be helpful to see more updates.

Thanks for your kind words. I wouldn't go as far as claiming my experience to be 'inspiring' :). What is inspiring however is all the forum members' posting with regular updates, giving all of us a good insight before taking the big step. There certainly has been results which are much more...

1. What is the extent of your hair loss, and are you diffusely thinned or are some parts slick bald? some pics could be helpful. Your age and whether your current hair loss is stablised could also play a role. 2. No, UK clinics should generally be avoided anyway so I would get many more...

I can't exactly draw comparison with the two, as they are used in combination. What I would say is since the addition of any form of microneedling, the scalp feels less greasy and healthier with no itching. I will continue with microneedling as the ongoing costs are relatively low, and I can't...

I do 0.5-1mm daily using a stamp, and 2mm once every few weeks using Derminator.

I've been on 12-15% minoxidil for the past 3 years (as well as microneedling+Finasteride). To be honest, it added nothing more than the 5% as far as I can see, but since I have not been experiencing any side effects I just continue using it. I had a transplant in the frontal 1/3, but the crown...
