FUE Procedure in Cluj Napoca, Romania
hairlosscpa replied to Darie13's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Honestly I was concerned at your immediate post op pics but the growth looks pretty good. Odd that you don't know the number of grafts - how did you know what to pay then? -
Hey all thanks for the follow up inquiries. I'll post pics soon! Overall I'm satisfied and there is definite improvement, just not as drastic of a difference as I initially expected going into it.
-
$700 for the 3rd if it takes more than 30 minutes.
-
Thanks man!

I plan on getting my sides shorter in my next haircut in a week. Sides are probably close to a 4 guard right now. Yeah I can make out the dots too but hopefully it blends better in shorter hair or hoping the untrained eye doesn't notice. I do mistaken them for hair follicles sometimes and get excited it's my real hair coming back lol. Attached is latest pics 3 days after. Trying to be transparent here..same lighting etc. It's not a perfect solution by any means but I'm still happy with the outcome. I decided I will go for a 3rd session to even out some areas. Left side is before anything and right is current. All in harsh bathroom lighting fyi.

$3k 😞

No hair concealer! The SMP pigments may look a little obvious but has since settled and looks more natural. Thanks for the compliment man.
-
Thanks! I'm going to give it a month before considering a 3rd session. There are still areas where I'm like oh I wish a little was sprinkled there, or a tiny bit here, haha. But they recommended I give it time for the work to heal...overall I'm very happy.
-
My understanding is that subsequent sessions are filling various size dots surrounding the dots from the first session. They do not overlap...bigger the dot, the less natural it looks.

Tomorrow is my 2nd session of SMP. I'll make sure to share pics. I always look at the two pics attached to keep my expectations in check and make sure I remain grateful to where I am. Pics are from 2012, when I was 23.
-
It's between a 3.5 - 4.
-
Both. That's why my sides look full in that pic

I use TINT too! It's been a game changer especially for convenience and the hairline area. But recently I've been using a cheaper brand from Amazon which is basically very similar. I linked it below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MXRDNR2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_TRSQ5ZHYFT7MZMQFXPZH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I also use Caboki around the midscalp and crown.
-
I also use concealers daily and SMP just made sense to me to remove some of the effort required. I approached the whole situation as getting a semi permanent concealer job haha. Here is a pic of my hair with concealer day before my SMP session.

2nd FUT then tap out with FUE was probably the right approach...I just couldn't deal with going through FUT again with the down time needed. Taking a strip of scalp off my head for a 2nd time just didn't sit well with me at the time. Thanks for the compliment! Hoping it gets better with the 2nd session.
-
Thanks! If you look at my first picture in the side view, you can see the line from the strip. I had some grafts implanted into the scar during my FUE procedure which made it less noticeable.

Finasteride and having kids, a very sad article
hairlosscpa replied to Raymond92's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
I have had 2 healthy (grateful) baby boys while I was on finasteride. I made sure the medication was never near my wife and was always encased so there was no direct contact ever. A lot of this has to do with genetics and my doctors and wife's OBGYN never mentioned to stop use when I disclosed I was on that medication. -
Thanks man! It's been a long journey haha. Glad I can give something back to the forum. 2nd session is tentatively scheduled for next Friday, 8/6.
-
Overall the experience was great. It was definitely more painful that I expected especially around the temple and occipital area (never gotten a tattoo before). Hairline and midscalp were fine. 1st session took about 4 hours with maybe 20 min total of breaks.

Top Line Scalp Micropigmentation in Cherry Hill, NJ. They are affiliated with Hairline Ink.

Thanks all for your support. This is right after the first session. There should be a lot more improvement in the second session since I do have diffuse thinning and covering my whole scalp around existing hair. May possibly need a third session too. *Top is before bottom is after*
