    Hi guys,

    Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. Just few updates regarding the last trial and some other issues.

    1. The patient came back for his monthly follow up. He is doing well in general. The hair was quite long so the photos weren't showing the areas clearly but I did take photos and it shows typical FUE healing although I did feel them to be slower than surrounding ones (similar to how they behaved in the first trial). They still looked red and demarcated, while in other areas -where No Verteporfin was injected- they started to look like typical scarred tissue. I have asked him to come back so we can clip the donor again sometime this week or next week. He just has some event he needs to attend prior to shaving it again. I will take more photos when he gets back so I can share them. I think clipped hair will show the areas better. 
     

    2. I am invited to present about Verteporfin in the upcoming WFI workshop in May. Hopefully this will spark more interest in further studies with colleagues. 

    3. I am considering another trial mostly regarding old FUE scar extraction. 

    4. I’m also glad to share that I will be doing consultations and performing surgeries on a regular part- basis at the Westminister Medical Group in Harley street-London. 

    Thank you again for all the feedback 

    Hey Doc, great update. Please start another trial. The more the better certainly 👍

    @Gatsby @Berba11 thank u…. I will definitely document my journey and add pictures, hopefully it will help steer other women with the same condition as me to go to a Dr like Dr Ted 😊😊 also on another note I didn’t know Dr Mani Mittal doesn’t do FUT… no wonder I don’t hear back from him. X

    Hey, most surgeons don't do FUT as they mostly train in FUE these days (much simpler to learn) FUT requires a lot of training / skill to complete successfully. It's a dying art with most of the newer breed of surgeons who don't learn it. Many years ago before FUE came about it was all that was available! It definitely has its place in the modern day to maximise the available donor hair and for longer hair cases like yours.

    I look forward to seeing your photos 👍

  3. Hey man, try not to be too hung on up the grafts numbers. 3500 grafts could well be 7000 hairs with the right extraction. 4500 grafts could also be 7000 hairs depending on which hair types are extracted. Really depends on the skill of the extractor and what they’re aiming for. I’d definitely look into medication - you’d probably be surprised what could grow back after 6-12 months!

    Hello londongirl please also see Dr May (Wimpole ) for an opinion. Definitely avoid FUT. you do not want the scar. Be weary of those promoting FUT.

    I assume you have seen a dermatologist and they are unable to help 

    Hey man, FUT strip is still a great option for some and arguably more accurate in terms of yield vs transaction from FUE (damaged hairs on extraction) most of the best surgeons worldwide offer it. Though most hair transplant ‘surgeons’ can’t do it as it requires surgical skill and is difficult to learn. Plus there’s no need to shave with an FUT strip as most women & men with long hair don’t want to shave their hair for FUE 👍
