Default Beauty Medical/My experience and results

Wanted to share my experience with all the folks who are interested in possibly going this route one day.

My first post here,however I am active member on the other major hairloss forum,I go by the same username.

Anyways,a little about me,suffering with hairloss for about 15 years,diffuse thinner,not a candidate for a hair transplant.

Started looking into SMP about 6 months back,been on propecia for about 10 years so my current hair is holding well.

My appointment was booked for Sept 7th and 8th at Dr Fellers office in Great Neck,NY.

I normally wear my hair long on the side and on the top,and use toppik on a daily basis,after doing tons of research i decided to make this work i would have to crop my hair down to a 1 grade,to give it that natural look.

| met Spex,Dr Feller,and a few others who also got work done from Milena Lardi.

There was tons of pictures taken by Spex and Dr Feller,I am hoping one of them can chime in and add pictures to this post.


Enough of that,first procedure was Friday the 7th which took about 3 hours and the second on Saturday the 8th which took 1 hour.

Its day 5 since the last procedure,and my honest take is that I am impressed,my family and friends are impressed.

I got a haircut yesterday and my barber oof 20 years did not notice a thing.

I would probably need another session to perfect the look,for now things are good,i plan to update monthly pics so I can document any fading,color changing etc.

I did have the procedure done on most of the top of my head.

Your questions are welcomed:

Hi Srk,

Great to see you on here sharing your opinion. You looked great on the day and it was great to meet you. Dr Feller and Dr Lindsey both thought your transformation was very impressive indeed.

You were an idea candidate. The pics i have do not do it justice. I know the Doc has some good compares however and i will upload once i get them.

The MAIN thing is your opinon as i know you were also very sceptical coming in this yet it appears to have made many people believers including you and thats the main objective!

Before


After session 1 OUTSIDE in the sun ( See close up on the hairline.) NOTE: Residue ink still remains on scalp as it can't be washed for a few days.






Dr Feller and Dr Lindsey having a closer look!

srk735,

first of all congrats for your procedure and your head definitely looks a lot better!!

spex,

Thank you for sharing the pictures they are really helpful. Based on the result , I have some questions.

1- So it looks like TP can create a 3-D illusion event with that low density. So is there a huge difference of applying the procedure to a full blown nw6 and a diffuse thinner even that low density? In my opinion, it does so I just want your opinion.

2- If so , should a full blown nw6 have a fue first then smp in order to have the best look with buzzed rather than razor shaved??

congrats , lookin good , thanks for sharing , i wonder how it will look if you have no hair ,the combo of hair and smp looks very impresive,its like a concelar for a close shaven head , where the current concealers dont work for hair that short.

I just wanted to add the hair length in the pics was 2.5 guard,not the best length for this type of hairloss,I just got back from getting my haircut at a 1 guard and the results are astounding,will post pics later on tonight.

Cool. Milena did in fact mention that to get the most out out of your particular result you needed to take it down to 1mm. Glad to hear she was right.

"Astounding" strong words. Come on - Put your money where your mouth is!

Pics now its washed and cropped

Very nice!
How long does the (ink?) last, and how much was your "procedure"?
Also how long (hours/days) does it take from beginning to the end?
