As far as I know it's fixed at £3 per graft, they do offer some good interest free finance options though

i cant see how much they charge for body hair transplant per graft..? i understand from their site its £3 per native hair graft

i have not had no vaccine yet never mind needing the follow up vaccine 12 weeks later i hear...

I've postponed to April now, hoping travel will be possible then and Portugal moves out of 'red list'. Would be interested in the flying protocols are if you're still travelling for March. What checks are in place, what airport you go from etc if you're able to report back? 

you had your vaccine then?

this is something i have been wondering..all seems very complicated..  there is 33 countries  on the red list for quarantine in uk

I’m sure higher Norwoods have hair literally everywhere else apart from their scalp ! 😂

arghhh yes mate seems to be the case... i just need few more thousand or even one thousand to get better hairline.. but nowt left now lol. though its getting shaved anyways ie just a buzz cut like number 2 once all work is done...so not too fussed if donor area looks empty..

Ive had a mix of beard and chest hair, so it's difficult to say how well the beard hair has grown vs how well the chest hair has grown. My guess and my feeling is that the beard hair has had a better survival rate. The last session I had last month was all chest hair (actually abdomen hair), so I may be able to get a better idea of how well that hair grows in another 6 months or so, but even then it's all transplanted in between existing hair, so it may still be hard to really know. Overall there's definitely been improvement and several people have commented on my hair recently asking if my hair is growing back or what I've been doing to make my hair grow back in.

interesting using abdomen hair,ive got loads wish they would use lol

6 months 😂

to be fair mate im not quite sure lol... ive not over analyzed it..say what has been put on my crown from my last op last July..they have all taken and spouted i had no hair there at all,now have some,, ie mostly the crown work chest and beard

from the beard yes..its a very good source i think for hairs.density etc.,like they say singles but mixed in works well.there is plenty can be taken from the beard its a big area so for high norwoods like me its perfect ..

most ive talked to surgeons not that keen on chest hair survival rate wise. though my chest hair is not dense either in numbers compared to other men with chest hair,so i have limited numbers chest hair

yes i agree John im all for it i have always shaved it anyway. its pointless it being there.. and from a norwood 7 here i need to use it lol.

i understand the anxiety i had it before my first operation and had it on my second operation too lol... now i have had two operations i know what to expect and it is nothing at all really to be worried about now as its painless

This is music to my ears 🤩 🙏

i haves still got one thorough good session left on my beard to take the lot.although i would like them to go slightly  higher onto bottom of chin and cheek bone just to make sure get a good amount of grafts,,,as my crown needs over 2k grafts really.

ive had two sessions on my beard taken.., can cannot see any scarring..

i have had one session on my chest and can see scarring there ie. the white dots.. i assume on the chest a bigger punch is used.

I honestly think potential or high Norwoods are better off starting out by FUT. we need all those extra grafts. Ok so I’m waiting for Eugenix as I really like the BHT work they do. But they are also starting to have a bit of a waiting list. 

i have had consultations with Eugenix but only getting BHT using my beard and chest to use,which have been used already twice beard and once chest although they dont like chest hair they say and my chest hair is lacking..

I have had multiple hts already. X2 FUT and X3 FUE first over 10 years ago. I have extensive knowledge of most clinics/Drs throughout the world. For me i just need to add some density to my mid scalp via BHT. Eugenix are pretty much doing the best BHT in the world. And yes luckily for me I’m of Italian descent 🤩

wish i had done FUT now being norwood 7. too late now though.

same here had multiple operations all fue and beard and chest used... still beard and chest left to do my crown though though very sparse now and crown big area to cover

also my hairline is very high and receding after my transplants but nowt can do now,donor was not good anyway

I’m ok on the uk rules and regs, they can be found on the gov.uk website under travel. 

ok i will have to have a look..ideally wanted it to be mid april to go back out. not had my vaccine though lol...im asthmatic at 45 years old so might get it sooner than some though the vaccine..   yes i think India is a tougher one for us to enter due to covid i think?

I’m not sure of the quarantine for USA, or going to the counties you mentioned. I’m  in the Uk and am willing to wait until travel is possible again. I have had the vaccine and hope that will help me travel at some point. 

hello john.. im in the same boat and clueless as to what rules regs for us in uk we have to do to travel and of course coming back

itching after 6 months on donor area.. after hair transplants ?

i am the same during the transplant process morning beofore and while at the clinic constantly wanting to pee.its nerves

sounds too good to be true and if so wish it had been discovered 25 years back when i was young lol

you got a nice beard to use also for high norwood like me.

Arm pit hair is the next best one, it’s similar to pubic hair. Honestly, I wouldn’t waste my time on anything past beard.

do you seen any use upper beard hair ie above the chin onto the face to extract grafts from? when they have used all grafts below the chin?

yes again with drinking it a no no after transplant.. but i have been recomended many times to use aloe vera after transplant..

anyways wait to hear one of the more knowlegable on here.. but ive used it every time after transplant and still using it now 6 months on

doesn't minixoidil have alcohol in it also?
