I did apply cold pressed organic aloe vera gel all over my scalp 15 days after and got relief from itching as I also had very dry skin.  But please make sure that they are good quality, chemical free product. Also you can keep them refrigerated. But test for sensitivity/allergy by applying on a non operated part of the scalp first for few times. What works for one may cause problem to another.

Thanks just bought 100% pure aloe from Amazon will give it a try 

Day 19

if you zoom in on my hair you can notice dry scalp little flakes, trying to avoid rubbing them off as I don’t want to pick at the transplanted hair to much anyone know if this is just part of the growing phase and any recommendations like aloe Vera or coconut oil?

Day 10. next upload at the 1 month mark

Your donor area is quite big so you were a great candidate for HT. But i see some very light thinning below the whirl. I do think that the meds will fix it and improve area around the whirl. So no need to worry.

Coming to work, it is very conservative approach so you will surely have a nice mature hairline with great density. This hairline will age well but for now it will show you as 30+. and because of donor i can expect a good amount of grafts coming for 2nd HT to fix any density issue caused by future hair loss.

If you can share more photos post-op from different angles then it will be easier to comment on work in detailed manner. From this photo only hairline is visible. Side photos can tell us if you needed temple or will need it in 2nd HT. From top and back we can see mid-scalp and crown more.

Thanks I was worried that the hairline was high but it does look natural it is very similar to the hairline I always had as for pictures I’m having a hard time uploading this site doesn’t seem to support the pictures I took with my phone.

Hey everyone thought I’d make a quick post about my experience at Hlc not looking to do a big write up but just post my results and share some photos. 
 

overall experience was good, driver picked me up at the airport and transferred me to the hotel. It is in the same building as the clinic just on a different floor which made it really convenient and stress free. Breakfast and lunch are included they give you a menu for supper where you can purchase supper and have it delivered to your room.  Surgery was performed on may 3rd first half and second half of surgery was done on the 4th. Hairline and frontal area. Here is some before photos. Also 1 day after and 4th day. 

currently taking minoxidil but had to stop before surgery and going to give topical finasteride a try from minoxidilmax.

Great results ! Was it mandatory to go on meds to go to this clinic. I currently take topical minoxidil and am nervous about finasteride but really wanna book with this doctor. 

I am curious to know if it would be a good idea for me to get a hair transplant now. Or to wait a couple more years. As hair loss is effecting me and would wish to just take the plunge and do it. 25 years old currently taking minoxidil. Tried finasteride and just wasn’t for me. Any feedback would be helpful.

That’s awesome, good for you , where did you book your flights threw like WestJet or air Canada or somewhere different.

Good luck ! I am also from Alberta and looking into Cinik. How much did you pay for your flight ? 

I am also from Canada and not looking to spend more than 10,000 $ what was your entire cost if you don’t mind me asking ? And would you recommend this dr.

Seen some good results on Instagram @hairofistanbul. Anybody have any information on this clinic?

Did you get the procedure done ? If so how are the results ?

Rahal and H&W are definitely producing good results but their pricing is totally insane, that's my opinion.

At half the price I would look into the popular Spanish and Belgian doctors who are producing results as good as the doctors mentioned above but first of all you have to decide whether to go with fut or fue.

Do you have any names of these doctors ? I am interested in cheaper places out of Canada that put out good results. And thanks for the comments guys. It’s a very stressful process.

My hair has seem to stabilize. It’s thicker and healthier looking and even filled in the crown and middle of scalp from the use of rogaine. I have very little hair fall these days where as before I couldn’t run my hands threw my hair without having a lot of hair fallout. these pictures are from last year. But I’m to nervous to give the finasteride  a go. I’m more interested in FUT only because it’s cheaper.

Hello ,

I live in Canada and am interested in getting a hair transplant I reached out to a few clinics and they all say I need about 3000 grafts for hairline and frontal area. Any suggestions on where I should go for the transplant. I am willing to go out of the country to different areas for the right price and the right dr to do the procedure. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Currently on rogaine for 1 year tried finasteride and notice side effects the first week so discounted the use. 

I am considering Dr Acar at cosmedica , but I have been told to stay away from this clinic. But from the results on his Instagram he looks really good. 

I’m from canada

I am considering Dr Acar at cosmedica , can anyone shed some light on this clinic. There instagram before and after pics look really good. They have two prices gold package at 1990 euros done by the technicians. And a vip package 3490 euros done by Dr Acar himself. I am 23 years old been loosing my hair since 19. Currently on minoxidil for 6 months. I have tried finasteride and notice side effects within the first week so I no longer take the pills.
