    Hello guys. Great forum!

    I'm gonna get smp in the uk and my research tells me that the best three places are Brandwood (Paul Clark), Skalp,  and Vinci. These last two also always appear at the top of search lists. I just wanted to ask if anyone has stories to tell about any of these places and if they can recommend any particular practitioner at Skalp or Vinci. I've been looking through the forums but there's not so much info on them as far as I can tell. I will absolutely detail my story on this forum. Probably it begins January. 

    What I'm gonna do is go for a patch test first, I think that's a pretty good idea. 

    Also, after researching on inks, it seems that these days only organic ink or synthetic-organic ink is used (whatever that last one is!), and not the old style tatoo ink which can change colour. I can't get a handle on whether organic is best or synthetic organic, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has an expert opinion. 

    btw has anyone had face micro pigmentation?

    Dis you ever get any smp done in the UK?

    Hey guys

     

    I am due to have a hair transplant late next month but God knows if this will go ahead as I am flying to Turkey  for this and with covid the travel rules are changing all the time .

     

    My questions is I want to get on some preventive  maintenance  for my hair loss. I am looking at using oral minoxidil   do you know if I can carry on using this while going for my transplant or if I have to stop a week before if so why is this ?

     

    Cheers

    Hi Gary

     

    i am based in the UK so its hard to say at the moment originally we had said 20th of May  as i believe the restrictions will be lifted then for me to be able to travel.

     

    i did write to the Uk government website support to see if a Hair transplant would be  classed as medical and i would be able to get an exception to fly  as it would be only me traveling and i would be in a clinic and a hotel for my stay. the current exceptions allow for the below:

    • work
    • volunteering
    • education
    • medical, or compassionate grounds
    • funerals
    • leaving the UK if you do not live in the UK, and have only been here temporarily
    • allowing access to parents with children who do not live in the same country

    can i ask where you are from Gary?

    Bicer seems to be one of the few surgeons in Turkey doing good work. I’ve heard great things from reviews. Although, I don’t believe she does FUT. As for minoxidil have you considered the oral version?

    Hi Mevlin

     

    is there any reason you recommend FUT over FUE for myself. after speaking to a  couple of adviser they seem to say there would be no benefit and that you could possibly get just as many grafts from FUE, and seemed to suggest two FUE session at 2000 grafts at each one

    Hey guys

     

    been looking into getting on the preventative meds , So far minoxidil  foam seems to be the far ill go  for now ,i have read really good things about minoxidil  in oral fourm and also Topical finasteride which seems to rule out nearly all side effects but i dont think there are available in the UK  yet. DR bisanga's client coordinator recommended them.

     

    after speaking to DR bisanga's client coordinator as well as Dr Arshad's they both seem to surrgest different avenues rather than FUT and to look at FUE.

    which brings me back to speaking to Dr bicer again as this is what she originally recommended , i have contacted her for another call.

    i am amazed at some of her FUE procedures for excmaple this one which is a northwood 7 which seems  to be a lot later stages than mine 

    interesting to see what you think.

     

    kind regards

    Hey man I saw your pics ... The truth is you will require several procedures, need to hop on meds and should absolutely go FUT/FUT for your first two. I'd go as far as saying this is non negotiable for you. I understand that you are looking at cost, but that needs to be removed from your equation.

    Speak with respected surgeons, get estimates and then look at cost before making a choice. To help narrow your search, start by speaking with doctors who have a proven track record performing FUT. It's unlikely you will find many in Turkey, though I'm sure some exist. Really do your due diligence on these docs. That means searching for patient posted reviews and ignoring results posted by the doctor on social media, their website, etc. The reality is doing this right will cost you more than whatever it is that you want to spend. That likely means waiting longer to have your first procedure. You have significant hair loss so this won't be a one and done thing. If this doesn't sound ideal, then it might be best not to get a surgery altogether.

    I'm not trying to be mean. Sincerely providing you with critical information so you can make the right choice. Good luck.

    Hi Champy

     

    i appericate your feedback. i have already had one FUT in the UK. which the results didn't really impress me at all, maybe i was expecting too much.

    unfortunately in terms of meds i have tried propecia and started having side effects so i stopped, what else can you recommend in terms of meddication/shampoos to slow my current hair slow.

     

    i will start do look into FUT surgeons, i suppose ill start with the 3 Melvin mentioned , let me know if you have any others to add.

    Feriduni, bisanga, and Arshad
