Having read a recent patients testimonial just a couple of days post HT, I decided to take a look at their clinics website. The Clinic in question is HDC in Cyprus. Now this is no attempt to sabotage or even put a negative spin on the clinic, it is simply a question regarding one particular photo case. I believe that Clinic act professionally, their website seems thorough and transparent, and they seem to be presenting good results.

This particular case, just over 2500 FUE. Im amazed by the coverage and density of this patient after only 2500 grafts. Your thoughts please guys.

Results look very nice. The pictures seem to show results after 6 months, I wonder what he looked like after 12. Perhaps he started a medication just prior to surgery?

Assuming the pictures are untouched, the results look pretty impressive just 6 months post-op.

I am wondering if there are other factors at play here, like recent medication regimen, as MajmX mentions.

It's interesting you mention HDC/Dr.Mikelas....I've always been *extrordinarily* impressed by their results that have been posted; yet, in my gut I've always felt that something seemed off in their documentation, which is a bit odd since the picture quality is always so pristine.

To my untrained eye it appears that hair was taken from an area outside the traditional safe zone.

Thanks for the replys guys, but my question was more along the lines of, is this genuinely possible for such a conservative FUE graft count. I for one am somewhat sceptical???

That's just what I was referencing, Raph -- their work looks universally excellent, but deep down I've always been pretty skeptical about their documentation, including lighting, angles, wetting hair, hair length, and meds.

I hate to cast an aspersion since in part it is but my instinct, and they do patently good work, but while I've long felt a lot of their results are top notch, they are nonetheless...."manipulated"...and thus seem super-human.

Thana, I knew thats what you were getting at man. I just thought that with all the interest and recent FUE related topics, that there would be a little more input. Obviously not.
I guess it just you and I that question these "super-human" results. We are such doubters!!!
