@elicochin . Hello Josh. I have posted a thread about my recent experience for scalp and beard doner with information and tips and pictures you will find usefull for your journey. ............Paddy........

If you rince cold water on your scalp for 2 minutes this will cause more blood to flow there. As always a good balanced diet with lots of nutrients will greatly help. Drinking plenty of water will increase the circulation and blood flow. All the best ......Paddy....

@azazelgs You can discuss your concerns with your doctor. Any doctor that is recommended on this forum will discuss every detail with you. If you still have those concerns you can possibly go back to your original plan of FUT. ...........................Paddy....................

@Zoomster Thanks for your appreciation and kind words. Your own trip to Eugenix is just around the corner. I will have some more updates and top tips posted before you travel. Thanks again . ...........Paddy.......

@elicochin you could also consider concentrating on the front and mid scalp and as far back you can go. Leave your crown alone for now. See how your doner is when things settle down , take it one step at a time. ........................Paddy......................

UPDATE AFTER HEADWASH , 2 WEEKS AFTER HT. HIGH MAINTENANCE IS OVER. ALL THE CRUSTS WERE REMOVED A WEEK AGO. THE REDNESS IN THE RECIPENT IS FADING EACH DAY. THERE IS STILL NUMBNESS ALL OVER THERE STILL. THE DONER AREA IS HEALING VERY WELL , AND THE WELCOME SIGN OF HAIR GROWING AGAIN IS GOOD TO SEE. THE NUMBNESS IN THE DONER AREA IS 95 % DISAPPEARED AND I EXPECT IT TO BE GONE COMPLETLY IN 3 OR 4 DAYS FROM NOW. UNDER THE CHIN AND BELOW THE JAWLINE WHERE NEARLY 700 BEARD GRAFTS WERE EXTRACTED HAS COMPLETELY HEALED UP AND NOBODY WOULD KNOW ANYTHING HAPPENED THERE INCLUDING MY SELF. .....ALL THE BEST FOR NOW.... ....................PADDY.................

TOP TIP TO SLEEP WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR NEWLY IMPLANTED GRAFTS : @duchaine I was also concerned about sleeping on my back , to protect the newly implanted grafts. I used a neck pillow on top of a regular low pillow, then put a big pillow either side of myself pinned in tightly under your arms down to your waist. It will be impossible to turn over on your side without wakening and realising what you are doing. Remember you will have the neck pillow as well. If your tired , and also you are taking your medication late at night before you go to bed, you will have no problem at all. I only had to do this for 7 nights. I never sleep on my back before my HT, and I had no problem at all.

@ndubya You are having a mix of beard grafts and scalp hairs in the fall , which Doctor and Clinic are you planning on going to ? .........Paddy.......

@Looking for HT I was given a 100 ml version of the saline spray for the plane, this is it in the picture. Eugenix advised me to spray every 2 hours. ( Not every 20 or 30 minutes ) When I went to bed I did not have to get up to spray the saline spray. Its not important when you go to bed, but if you wake up to use the toilet you can take that opportunity to spray it . .................Paddy...........

IM very please as it looks like nothing has touched my skin No scaring to been seen at all. ......Paddy.....

@Lennney Great questions and I will let you know. Thanks for the link also. .........Paddy.......

@DThak I didnt shave untill after 14 days after Surgery, but this was a personel choice. Dr. Shishir told me I could shave after 7 days , which I could have if I wanted. I used a beard trimmer after 7 days to tidy the beard up, as its quicker than shaving, and I wasnt going to anything public so I didnt need to be shaving. .........Paddy.......

@Looking for HT Thanks for your appreciation and kind words. The recovery is going very well. I will be updating very soon again. All of this for you is just around the corner now. It wont be long coming round. All the best for now @Looking for HT ........Paddy......

I have just come back from @Eugenix Hair Science where I had my first HT . The whole experience from arriving in India , having my HT untill the time I was taken back to the airport was really positive , the warmth friendliness and hospitality shown by everyone at Eugenix was exceptional. In case anyone is in any doubt , Dr.Arika carried out all the extractions , Dr Pradeep done over 3000 sllits, Dr Arika done more slits on the second day. In any case this forum is meant to be about supporting and educating each other ,and looking at results from patients at different clinics to help us make a very important decision. .................Paddy..............

Hello @Gabreille Nelson Mukhia . Those pictures of you after 2.5 years of your HT look very impressive. Yes you got great growth that suits you. I think you have very good natural features , and I think you might ruin those natural features if you got other procedures carried out to change them , to become unnatural. If you sent those above pictures into a modelling agency I bet your phone wouldn't stop ringing.Did you ever think of modelling ? Thanks again for looking after me so well a few weeks ago when I was over for my HT , Please say hello to all the team. I have started a thread and will be updating it soon again. All the best Nelson ...........Paddy.........

Very nice natural result well done. Congratulations to the patient and all at @Eugenix Hair Science .............Paddy...............

No clinics in Dubai at present Sean. State of the art Clinics are in Gurgaon Delhi and Mumbai. ......Paddy.....

A BETTER PICTURE OF THE CRUSTS BEFORE THE HEAD WASH. ...............PADDY...........

7th DAY UPDATE , HEADWASH AND REMOVING OF CRUSTS. I HAVE SOAKED MY SCALP WITH SHAMPOO AND LOTS OF SUDS WITH VERY LUKE WARM WATER FOR 30 MINUTES AS INSTRUCTED BY DR.SHISHIR. I ALSO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF PUTTING A LIGHT PLASTIC SHOWER CAP ON OVER THE SCALP TO HELP ALL THOSE SHAMPOO SUDS TO SOAK INTO THE CRUSTS ON MY RECIPENT, ALSO I ENSURED THE SUDS WENT ONTO MY DONER AREA ALSO TO CLEAN AND REFRESH IT. I AM NOW FINISHED TAKING THE MEDICATION SO I DONT HAVE TO PUT THE ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION OR ANTISEPTIC OINTMENT ON MY DONER FROM NOW ONWORDS. AFTER 3O MINS I TOOK OFF THE SHOWER CAP AND GENTLY MASSAGED MY RECIPENT AREA ALL OVER WITH THE TIPS OF MY FINGERS FOR 5 MINUTES. THE CRUSTS HAVE REALLY COME AWAY FROM THE SCALP WITH PERSISTENCE, NOW AND AGAIN ADDING MORE SUDS TO MY RECIPENT. I THEN POUR LUKE WATER WITH A SMALL JUG OVER ALL MY RECIPENT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN DO THE SAME RINSING THE DONER . I THEN PUT MORE SHAMPOO SUDS ON MY RECIPENT AND DONER AND MASSAGE IN AGAIN GENTLY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND POUR LUKE WARM WATER OVER AGAIN TO REMOVE ANY MORE SMALL CRUSTS HERE AND THERE. I HAVE REMOVED ALL THE CRUSTS EXCEPT A VERY TINY AMOUNT THAT IS NORMAL ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT THAT I WONT FORCE, I WILL WAIT A FEW DAYS AND REPEAT ALL OF THE ABOVE TO REMOVE THEM THEN. PICTURES BEFORE AND AFTER HEAD WASH. YES I KNOW THE ONE WITH THE SHOWER CAP IS RIDICULOUS AND EMBARRASSING, HOWEVER IT MIGHT HELP SOMEBODY OUT THERE , TO REMOVE ANY STUBBORN CRUSTS. TOP TIPS : SOAK YOUR HEAD FOR 30 MINUTES , WEAR A SHOWER CAP, USE VERY MILD SHAMPOO LIKE JOHNSONS BABY SHAMPOO TO BE GENTLE ON THAT TENDER AND INFLAMED SCALP, AS IT HAS NO PARABENS, SULPHATES AND DYES. I WILL UPDATE YOU VERY SOON WITH INFORMATION AND PICTURE OF SCALP AFTER THE HEAD WASH, ALSO UPDATE ON CONDITION OF SKIN UNDER THE CHIN AFTER THE BEARD EXTRACTIONS ALL THE BEST FOR NOW. ...............PADDY.............

Thanks @gillenator for your appreciation. This picture was taken 7 days after extractions from under the chin. Please see the above picture which was taken on the day of extractions .

Lovely result with a very natural hairline. Congratulations to the patient and all @Eugenix Hair Science. .............Paddy..............

Great post Melvin . Its only when you see patients coming onto this forum looking for help and support after having their botched HT at one of these " profit before patient wellbeing clinics " looking for help and support , one has to realise that this forum is doing an excellent service to the community by recommending only the top surgeons and clinics that one should look at before considering a HT, which of course puts those unregulated black market clinics out of the picture. .............Paddy.........

I will be about to go through the ugly duckling phase myself soon enough. Its a short term pain , for a long term gain. Try to think of yourself a few months down the line. It wont be long coming round. Wearing a hat whenever you can would disguise it . ........All the best @Yaro ............Paddy........ . .. ..

@LeftHook Thanks for your appreciation and very kind words I really appreciate it. Yes you will be in great hands next year , and the hospitality given to its patients is second to none. You have a lot to look forward to lefthook. All the best for now . ...........Paddy...........

@Zoomster yes we have a lot in common its hard to believe. Your journey to Eugenix is just around the corner , you will be very well looked after and you will be on great hands fpr a great result. ......All the best for now ... ...............Paddy............ . S
