the only other clinics i know that claim to do these megasessions of fue are norton and dhi and that says it all in my opinion.

chucky,

There are others as well. Like everyone else, I am hopeful that FUE megasessions can exist for all and the potential problems can be overcome. But it's important that we all get past the hype and demand consistent visual proof of their claims!

I guess time will tell right?

Since Dr. Armani has been discussed, I just thought I'd add this image. In my opinion, there are a multitude of problems with this advertisement, but for this discussion, pay special attention to the areas that I've circled.



Since when is there no surgical risk with FUE? Since when is FUE a non-surgical technique?

See an indepth discussion between myself and Dr. Feller about the benefits, risks, and potential problems with FUE and see for yourself if there are no surgical risks.

In my opinion, those who claim there are no surgical risks of follicular unit extraction (FUE) are ignoring them. In my opinion, ignoring them will lead to damaged grafts and poor hair growth yield.

I just checked out his website and he has hair clinics all over the world now. I knew he had several but sh$t, he has a TON now. Its like a hair mill. Many of the "before" photos have their hair wet and slick back, then dry and styled in the after...so shady.

Actually the language in the ad is ambiguous enough to pass as a legit advertisment.

However, the big concern is that Jeff (the guy in the pic) is a strip patient.

I believe the entire HT community is holding its collective breath over these fue claims.

I believe like all things, the pendulum will swing back toward the middle.

It remains to be seen.

Take Care,
Jason

I was going to say almost exactly the same thing!

Walking through the department stores I was looking at everyones hairlines. It occured to me that most of the male models used in the major department store ads were young guys (mid 20s) but most of them had "mature" or "maturing" hairlines. None of them had the closed temples or really low hairlines. In fact, I believe a high (well shaped) forehead is typically regarded as a mark of attractiveness.

So while I object to the Armani ethics, the real problem I see is that the hairlines are really not impressive when you consider what people find attractive.

A boys hairline may help a young man connect with 17yos or preserve his teen-image, but women are known to like older men and part of a mature look is a mature hairline. I'm not talking about a balding or receding hairilne either, there is a difference.

I might like to add that the armani "curve" aI have seen on most of his patients is almost reminiscent of what you see with toupee wearers. This is not to say that some of them are not impressive. Its just that they are not perfect.

Correct. And I didn't even bring that part up specifically but was the main reason I said "there are many problems with this advertisement".

Whether or not ultra large FUE megasessions will be proven to work as well as strip - well, I guess we'll just have to continue to wait.

Emporer,

..."a boys hairline may help a young man connect with 17 year olds"...Hmmm on second thought maybe I should reconsider going to Armani.

Do you think the mature hair line will help me connect with the EIGHTEEN year old girls or should I go with the Armani?

that is a rather cool name for your do though

-----"this is called THE Armani (GASPS....)"...

I can just see him saying that as his hand his held out under Jeffs pic above.
