  1. Almost 8 months now. Pictures attached so no product in approx. 1 hour after showering. Still feel the need to use some Toppik when going out just to blend hair to scalp colour. Got the new applicator for Toppik fibres which really helps direct the fibres - highly recommend that!
  2. Been 7 months now and still going strong. Cannot fault the results so far, just been on holiday for a week and used a minimal amount of Toppik on a few occasions but generally I felt totally confident going out without anything. Went to a water park and in the pool / sea and even when wet it wasn't that bad, although still a bit thin. It's changed my life for the better and made me so much more confident. Just hope it keeps growing - and stays!!
  3. Thanks for your kind comments. Very happy at the 6 month stage and hopefully by 12 months it will be even better. I'll do a proper review then.
  4. Exactly 6 months post op now. Very impressed with the growth rate however still having to use product. Please see pictures below which show my hair with no product in. I guess what I'm hoping to hear is that I am still fairly early and it will thicken up? My scalp is still very obvious and shows through the hair, when will this start to blend / thicken in? Also my hair is quite frizzy, curly and dry. I've tried various shampoos but welcome and tips to make it smoother, softer and straighter? Thanks in advance for any comments.
  5. Looking great mate! very similar results to me so far. Enjoy :-)
  6. No, in the pics I have dermatch applied, but only a small amount. I prefer it as stays on much better than the fibres. I have tried everything from GLH, Mane, Toppik, Dermatch etc... I will try and get some better pictures tonight after showering with no product, but happy so far, just hope thickness improves over next 6 months and maybe I won't need any product.
  7. First time I've sat in a barbers chair in 5 years lol Had a little trim yesterday just back and sides. Still good progress on top, pictures attached show with small amount of dermatch used. 4.5 months post op.
  8. There's actually numerous good reviews by patients (including myself albeit early in the overall stages).
  9. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I had surgery with Dr. Yaman in Feb and so far so good. I do agree with you slightly about the techs though, I had several throughout my procedure and experience the same casual attitudes, laughing, joking etc... which doesn't make you feel at ease. However, a lot of people have had good results with this doctor and although it doesn't appear to have worked out for you it does for others. How was your healing process? When was your treatment? And most importantly... What have the clinic said?! I got a contracted letter with all my info after which said the surgery / Dr is liable if less than 30% of the grafts don't grow to maturity?
  10. Thanks for the feedback. I'm really pleaseed but still hoping for more thickness in months to come. To be honest I haven't really spoken to the clinic since. They haven't contacted me and I had no need to contact them but Fikret said I could always email him or message him on WatsApp. I was advised to take Fin but me and my girlfriend want to try for a baby this year so I decided against it. I've been using Minoxidil Foam twice a day. Will post come more pics at months 5 to 6.
  11. Any feedback on how it's looking for me so far would be great. ?
  12. Some more pics of how it looks at 3 months. Ugly duckling stage was long! Nothing happened until 2.5 months when I saw lots of new hairs sprouting, some light in colour, some dark. Even now there are a lot of tiny hairs just poking through. Pics not the best as only on iPhone!
  13. Hi, I had FUE with Dr. Yaman back in Feb 2017. 3550 Grafts 710 Single 1950 Double 890 Multiple Overall I was pleased with the procedure. Everything was explained well, nice hotel at the Divan Suites. Fikret was a good contact to have. The procedure was very long, the anasthesia injections hurt like hell! Dr. Yaman performed incisions, techs did 80% of extractions and implants, Dr. did 20%. I feel as though they slightly over harvested my left hand side donor, as took much longer to recover, and also they worked on it a lot longer than the centre and right hand side. ** Please note I shaved my head down to grade 1 between 2 weeks post op and 2 months post op so the 3 month pics actually only show 1 month overall hair growth! Pic's below, would welcome any feedback thus far. HB.
