    i'm not a fan of SMP either, and was also recommended the service at an extra cost of course in my last procedure with Rahal .. 

     

    Definitely would help to see some more resent personal  reviews of the good doctors work 

    How did your procedure turn out did you post your experience ?

     

    Here's some newer dated Youtube videos posted by Rahal's people

    dr Rahal, is he still hairline king?

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I recently did a consult with Rahal and I found his recommendations  interesting but still kind of caught me off guard and I'm having a hard time getting completely on broad with them I really didn't  want to have to deal with incremental  HT's  or temporary ongoing procedures like  SMP's and find myself  still looking for a better alternative.  

    Anyways here's some of what they had to say below along with a link to his pre and post op instruction and  treatment plans and resent picture of my hair-loss wet 

    Wondering how his pre and post treatment plans compare to other doctors  I don't know if its just me but  do they seem a little intense ?

     

    I ran your photos by Dr. Rahal and he agreed that it is a bit early to be targeting your crown area.  The diffuse thinning you are experiencing in that area means high risk of shock loss so they fear is you will not see enough benefit to be worth targeting the area. He is however more then happy to fill in your temple angles and strengthen your hairline and frontal zones. You should also consider adding our PRP with your hair transplant, and as an ongoing treatment to prevent future loss.The cost to add it with your procedure is $650 +hst. The other procedure we discussed was Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP). I know you weren't a huge fan of the idea but it can be a great way to add density to your crown area that we are not targeting with surgery SMP is a small semi-permanent pigment that we do on the scalp to help boost the illusion of density by minimizing the contrast between your hair colour and skin tone. It lasts about 5 years. The cost for a density treatment for the crown area is $2,800.00 CAD+tax. It normally takes 2 treatments designed as a layering effect to give the most natural appearance and duplicate the appearance of native hair follicles. If this is of interest we could coordinate this to be done when you make the trip for surgery.

    Hey Markee,

     

    I don't have any "hookups" I'm just a patient as much as anyone else. Have you tried calling them? Why would they not take your inquiry serious? 

     

     

    Lucky i mean Lukey :)  Thanks for the reply my fellow HT brother

     I don't know why they  ignored my question they do seem to reply quickly with the initial generic reply but  ignored any further questions regarding  temple work I was just asking for some  simple examples of the doctors work is all ?

    I'm thinking maybe they just don't have any good  example pictures  I really couldn't find any looking through all the doctors work 

    Seems alot of doctors tend to shy away from it as it tends to take some added skills to get it right 

    I'm going to go ahead and call them Thinking it might be a good idea for me if I could use you as a referral just to say like you refereed me is all 

    I know your just a patient but I think being your one the doctors best results might help couldn't hurt

    Luke your results are every bit as good and even better then most or many top notch doctors charging 4 to 5x times as much 

    its making me rethink reconsider my plan with Rahal 

    I've sent Clinik my consult pictures a few times in the past year with just a few simple questions asking for some feedback or examples of the good doctors temple work and and they just ignored my questions and send me there same old generic reply 

    Thinking maybe if you could hook me up with someone there like a referral coming through you they might take my more serious 

    My last contact there was with Sera Ventura

    The one thing about it is, i need to see an actual researched study for any claim made.  I have yet to see it.  Ive read studies for sports injuries and in conjunction with prp.  Does prp thicken scalp tissue or cause any scalp tissue to form?  

    Sean I agree hard to know whats really working or not with out the facts but definitely  getting more common  just recently had other top doctors also recommending it like Dr. Baubac who includes it in his HT package plan free ?

    With Rahal the cost of prp is so small I don't think he would even bother with it unless hes seeing some positive results ?

    Actually  its the below crown SMP recommendation part of Rahals consult  that kind of caught me off guard and is giving  me something to think about what do you think ?

    Heres what he said 

    Dr. Rahal  its a  bit early to be targeting your crown area.  The diffuse thinning you are experiencing in that area means high risk of shock loss so the fear is you will not see enough benefit to be worth targeting this area.

    So he recommends to do a small semi-permanent pigment to help boost the illusion of density in the crown area that he says  will last about 5yrs at the cost of $2800.00 CAN + Tax 

    Anyways heres a study I found on PRP and hair

    I just did a consult with Rahal and he  recommended PRP along with the HT 

    Below is what he said 

    PRP has healing qualities that will help post-transplant to reduce redness and speed up healing. PRP also contains a lot of growth factors that encourage the anagen (or growth) phase of hair to help with less shedding post-procedure and faster growth of the transplanted grafts.

    Dr. Rahal will inject the PRP into your recipient area after he has created all the recipient sites and just before the new grafts are placed

    Mark,

    I was actually scheduled for a 3rd procedure with Dr. Rahal and I traveled to Ottawa but unfortunately no further grafts could be taken via FUT unless I wanted to have a stretched scar. It was too late to switch to a FUE procedure so I had to cancel. I've had great results from him. I've always wanted to go to Dr. Konior as well but his price was too steep (foreign exchange was to high from Canadian to US) and he had a long wait-list - he still does! I required only a small # of grafts and I was finally in a place where I could afford him and didn't have an issue waiting.

    I just did a consult with Rahal and found his recommendations for me quite interesting he recommended 3000 grafts for my hairline and temple zones and then when on to say its a bit early to be targeting your crown area the diffuse thinning you are experiencing in that area means high risk of shock loss instead he recommends a (SMP) for the crown interesting and unexpected :)

    Anyone care to comment on if they feel an SMP makes sense or not ?

    The USD to Canadian exchange rate right now makes Rahal an excellent bargain for sure 

     

     

    How do I go back to work ?! Holy crap !

    Well, I start work Tuesday. I'm going to order Dermatch today. I have worn a hat everyday when I'm outside. 

    Quick question on dermatch . This won't irritate the recipient site , correct?

    I use Dermatch stuff definitely helps Conceal but also been using this other stuff for years and years called  Roux Tween Time Instant Concealer Touch-Up Stick. I don't know if anyone else here is using it but stuff cost peanuts and works great personally like it better then Dermatch
