  1. You might have shock-loss. This happened to me after my first hair transplant and I had a bit of bald patch near my ear, but that disappeared after about 9 months or so. However, I would tend to agree with @A_4_Archan - we need to see pics of your donor pre-HT. Do give it time though!
  2. I am really excited about Xyon's topical Dutasteride. Does anyone know if/when it will be available in the UK?
  3. I am so pleased for you @Melvin- Moderator . The temples look great already! I am definitely going to see if I have enough grafts left for some temple work!
  4. I struggled to find pictures of her work. Is there much around? Have you booked your surgery yet?
  5. Also, I had a surgery with Dr Raghu Reddy. He is well worth contacting and produces outstanding results. He’s based in Harley Street.
  6. Hi @LeeM I can understand your concerns, it can be very daunting. I have had surgeries with three different doctors. All of whom were ethical, including Dr Arshad. He is a highly trained surgeon, and the aftercare they provide at Hair Dr is amazing. The best I have had. I would suggest booking several consultations with surgeons on here and ask speak to the doctors themselves.
  7. Why not? He’s a very highly skilled surgeon, who was a consultant in the National Health Service. I guess the question is not, is Dr Arshad as good as Dr Bisinga, but does he meet the criteria to become a recommended surgeon?
  8. It's a definite thumbs up from me! I can personally attest to the skill, professionalism, and aftercare of Dr Arshad. I had my fourth surgery with Dr Arshad, after having previous work with Dr De Reys and Dr Raghu Reddy, back in 2019 when Dr Arshad was just starting build his excellent reputation in hair restoration surgery. I was confident him in as soon as I met him, after hearing about his previous surgical training and philosophy regarding hair transplantation. I could not have been looked after better during my surgery. Dr Arshad and his team were superb. Dr Arshad was very involved in my surgery too - unlike some surgeons. He after receiving the anaesthetic, he did lots of extractions (with his lead technician) and all of the incisions. He kept checking on my well-being throughout the day and that of his team. The aftercare I received was amazing. I received regular texts and calls from the clinic and Dr Arshad himself. Due to my previous surgeries, I had some issues with my donor area. Dr Arshad sent out some cream, which did the trick and kept monitoring how I was doing. This shows what type of doctor he his. He genuinely cares for all of his patients. Dr Arshad is more than worthy of being recommended on this website, in my opinion.
  9. I was really impressed with Dr Arshad and his team. He lead tech has over 20 years experience and was trained by Dr C, and I know that he goes to quite a few conferences on hair transplants and invests in the latest tools. I think it is good that there are other options in UK for those seeking a HT. I know Dr Arshad is heavily involved with another HT forum, so it would be a question of whether he would want to pay the fee for this website too! When I had my first HT with Dr De Reys, he said he was reluctant to pay the fees on here, because he was busy enough. He eventually joined and was approved, but left after a while.
  10. Some interesting points regarding Farjo. I only live 50 minutes away from his clinic, but personally think his results are not consistently good and he is very expensive - NOT a very good combination! When I had my hair transplant with Dr Arshad, I paid £2 per graft. He has now put his prices up to £3 per graft. When I last looked, Farjo was charging about £6 per graft (FUE). In regards to aftercare, Dr Arshad is far superior to Dr Reddy or Dr De Reys. I received a phone calls, texts, and had several face-to-face appointments to ensure everything was healing well.
  11. I had surgery with Dr Arshad from Hair Dr - Dewsbury (near Leeds). He was previously a consultant surgeon (specialising in head cancer surgery) in the NHS, so is a highly trained surgeon. There are not many results from him on this forum, but lots on other forums. I have also had work with Dr Reddy and IMO his work is just as good.
  12. Will do! I guess my concern is that tattoo ink is permanent and SMP is semi-permanent. Are you still micro-needling @CosmoKramer? Still not got round to do that yet.
  13. Cheers @CosmoKramer Funnily, enough my HT surgeon said exactly the same thing! I will probably get that done this summer. My only concern with SMP is the safety issue regarding the ink, and it entering your blood stream. Have you heard anything about this, and do you know whether it is safe or not?
  14. Dr Arshad has a surgical background in Ear Nose and Throat surgery, where he was a consultant cancer surgeon. He has also received some training in cosmetic surgery. I found limited information on Dr Arshad on Forums, but I did extensive research about him (research gate, other forums, and journal publications) and his credentials prior to booking a surgery. Dr Arshad is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons - which awarded to surgeons passing the exit exam after years of training (and should not be confused with being a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, which is the entrance exam). Dr Arshad's clinic in Leeds, is relatively new and he had been combining his HT work with working as a consultant ENT surgeon within the the National Health Service. Essentially, Dr Arshad is a very highly qualified surgeon, who regularly attends IHARS events. Admittedly, he has less experience in HT, but I felt his extensive surgical training and practice inspired me with confidence that he would have good skills for HT surgery. He performs FUE and FUT surgery. He posts his results on other forums, and his work is exceptional, definitely worthy of being a recommended surgeon on here IMHO. His whole team are brilliant and really looked after me. Definitely one to look out for, his results are outstanding.
