I haven't tried Nanogen,but I tried Caboki,Toppik and a 2 unknown brands and Caboki is significantly superior to Toppik and those unknown brands.it stays on hair much better, doesn't come off in wind or on pillow and looks very natural.and you don't even need to use hair spray.it's as good as those youtube ads! also it's not more expensive than Nanogen,all 3 are same price..Caboki comes in 25 grams size as standard while Nanogen comes in 15 grams..that's probably why you think Caboki is more expensive than Nanogen.(well they are all over priced for what they are..) I might try Nanogen to compare it with Caboki but I think Caboki is the best of them all. I think it's best if you try both Caboki and Nanogen to see which one you like better.

I know there are many HT clinics in Iran,many practice FUE and I know a few people who had HTs in Iran,some with very good results others not so good.I cannot personally recommend any specific doctor or clinic there. but in general,cosmetic surgeries and hair transplants are very common in Iran,and there are surgeons and clinics that do good work.(based on the results I've seen). I did a transplant in Tehran myself 12 years ago (FUT),and the result wasn't good,but at that time HTs were not advanced anywhere.. there are some recommended Ht surgeons here who are originally from Iran,but are practicing in Europe/ US (Dr.Feriduni / Dr.Parsa Mohebi) also Baubac Hayatdavoudi (Armani clinic in Beverly Hills CA - but he is not recommended here). I think it's a gamble unless you personally see a few patients from a doctor that people recommend you.prices are on par with clinics in Turkey. I think going with the few reputable doctors in Turkey is a safer option.

I used an online currency exchange to send money from my UK bank account to my clinics bank account in Belgium. I too use Halifax and found their exchange rates and fees un-acceptable. the currency exchange gave me a much better deal.I also considered taking cash,but decided against it due having to exchange Pounds to Euros and risks of handling large amounts of cash,but if your clinic charges extra for card transactions,you might consider taking cash,however you need to be extra careful when taking large amount of cash to Turkey.

good luck,in my opinion if you can afford the price difference between him and other great FUE surgeons (ex Feriduni,Bisanga,Erdogan) ,it's worth it.the price difference between him and Bisanga/Feriduni for 3000 grafts is around 3000 GB pounds more.it's expensive no question about it but the fact that he does all the extractions and implantations himself is a huge factor in achieving superior results in my opinion+ in my opinion his FUE results are superior to other great FUE surgeons.

great result. it's amazing seeing the difference hair makes to one's appearance.even comparing the pre-op balding stage to the shaved pictures..major difference.yet some people still think hair is not that important and shaved look is cool! I'd say hair is at least 70% of how we look!

I'm usually not easily pleased with HT results and don't say a result looks good unless it really does but honestly,it looks much improved,you probably wanted the hairline more dense,but it's still a very good result in my opinion.I really can't believe what you wrote there.it's really looking good.just compare the 3 photos side by side..definite improvement and the forehead that i'm seeing after HT looks a good 7-8 years younger than the one before.

great result and I have to say Injertocapilar's documentation is the absolute best form of documentation.better than any other clinic my miles.

Johnny2000, most people believe manual FUE is superior and has less chance of damaging the FUE grafts during extraction.it's slower and more difficult for the clinic but better for the patient imo. I think 2000 grafts manual FUEs can be done in single day easily. regarding your stress about travelling post op and the way you look post HT,most clinics will provide you with some sort of head covering,some provide you a very loose baseball hat and some will give you a bandana style hat.but you usually can't wear it nice & tight the way you normally do.it needs to be placed on your head in a way that it doesn't touch and put pressure on the newly transplanted grafts.in other words it will look silly,but it definitely beats travelling without any head covering with a bloody and operated head! I was very concerned about this issue myself when I had my recent procedure,more than I was worry about the procedure itself,but my clinic gave me a bandana style hat,doctor put it on my head himself.I looked awkward wearing that but without it there was no way I could go to the airport. I also asked for a letter from the clinic mentioning that I've had operation on my head and that am wearing that bandana for protection and coverage,so at airport security when they asked me to remove the bandana,I explained that I've had a operation and it would be very difficult to remove it.they just scanned my head with a handheld scanner and let me go. but some airports might be more strict,in that case you can always ask for a private room,where you can remove the head covering if they insist too see.

for strip I'd choose Rahal.definitely more aggressive than other two and personally his strip results are among the very,very best,if not the best out there.

I booked my flight for the next day after HT,I think that's the best time to fly back or you have to stay at least 1 week.there will be swelling which starts at day 2-3 and will take around a week to go away.believe me the worst thing will be travelling with a swollen face it can look VERY strange and ugly and will draw a lot of attention. so flying back day 3-4 will be the worst thing one can do. you can stay for a week and that's good for follow up check with the clinic etc,but will be very boring and tiresome (and expensive) since you will have to stay in the hotel all the time not being able to go out looking like that. upon arrival I told the custom that I'm going for medical procedure and had a copy of the surgery appointment with me just in case (& they didn't ask for). when I was returning the next day after surgery,I asked my doctor to give me a letter stating that I've had surgery on my scalp and the clinic put a bandana on my head for protection and coverage. that did the trick at airport security when they asked me to remove the bandana,they just scanned my head with their handheld metal detector and let me go. even if they refuse to let you go without removing bandana/hat,you can ask for a private room,they have cabins there where you and one of them go in and you can remove your head covering there.

the result looks really awesome at 7 months,and the problem around the scar area appears much reduced in the latest pictures.

great documentation and great result. especially the result of the first surgery with only 1550 grafts is impressive.it shows how important/different surgeons skills and yield can be.

you could have asked Bisanga or his rep if they knew a cosmetic clinic here in the UK where you could go for removing sutures.. I had my HT with Feriduni recently and didn't want to go to my own GP (as I'm sure they haven't seen something like this and will be asking questions,etc which I'm not comfortable with.) Feriduni referred me to a a cosmetic clinic in the UK,and they agreed to do it for a (small) fee. having ht sutures removed by any cosmetic surgery clinic beats going to GP,at least they have seen it many time before and are comfortable doing it professionally without asking too many questions & leaving the job incomplete.

I started this thread and was very optimistic about this study and decided to give it a try. I tried it for 6 months and didn't see any difference at all.NOTHING I bought the original Avodart and it was 100% legit and real. the only thing I noticed was noticeable INCREASE of libido and feeling slightly ligtheaded on Mondays (I took Avodart on Mondays). after 6 months I decided to stop it,again no difference in terms of hair. but I think the effects can vary on individuals and it's worth a try.

I'd go with Lorenzo if money was not a problem.no doubt.
