  1. Thanks for the responses everyone. I've had my procedure with Dr. Rahal (in Canada was cheaper than in the US and he is well-known) and I can tell you from experience, he did not perform the extractions and was not present in the room with me for the extractions. @pkipling do you know the law in Ontario? This is the problem of going with a doctor that everyone talks about. I thought that waiting a year for this procedure meant that he'd be the one doing it, but when I was there I saw other patients at the same time as me. I did not know it, I just assumed he was the one doing the extractions, since he is the doctor right? But I also did not ask. It's weird to me that you go to a doctor for a hair transplant and he or she is not the one doing the hair transplant. I hope my results are satisfactory, but It's been 4 months and I have yet to see results, I know it's early, but my hair looks worse than the procedure (I already had thining hair). But I'm hopeful that his participation in the cirgury has no difference in results 🤞 I'll come back in a few months with a follow up message and I'll create a new thread with my experience and results
  2. I've searched for this topic here but couldn't find one so I'd like to learn from other patients and from other clinics as well. I was wondering if it's common practice for the well-known doctors to not perform the extraction of graphs.
  3. Interesting. I'm not sure why they are telling some ppl one thing, and others another thing. Is your HT a restoration from a previous bad HT? or is it just your first one?
  4. I have the same questions as you have but the answer probably comes to $$$, even thou their sales reps won't admit it. Since in Canada it costs less than in the US, doing FUT is not as profitable, because imagine this: When they schedule a patient for FUT, they prevent another patient from scheduling FUE, and if they do this very often, they end up making less money in the end. They have enough patients for FUEs (they are booked months ahead of time) that they don't need to open space for FUTs anymore. A lot of americans would flood Canada for an FUT procedure if they ofered it, they already flood Canada for FUE When you talk to a clinic that offers both, ask them what is the avialability and chances are they have enough space in their agenda, so they don't have the luxury to reject FUT patients. Dr. Rahal and Wong/Hasson are the most popular ones, but they are not the only good ones in Canada. There's Robert Jones and others.
  5. I also had an FUT and thining of doing a 2nd one but is Hasson and Wong still doing FUT? I've heard and spoke with them and they now recommend and push for FUE only. Is that your experience talking with them too?
  6. Nanogen, Toppik, Caboki, Febron, Biothik, Hairatin, GoFybr, Luxe, Boldify, Infinity, XFusion, Crown, Cuvva, Samson, Strand, Eclipse, Elevate, Aliver So many brands, with differentr price ranges, don't know which one to choose. What are the top 3? And the best one cost benefit?
  7. I've spoken with aheadink, scalp micro USA, and hairlineink which are probably the best ones and only the latter one hairlineink provides this kind of service of density where you don't buzz the hair. All other 2 only provides the buzz cut Essentially the reason is: They "don’t feel it’s the best option in terms of results. It is 2D and one really requires something that offers real diameter like a hair transplant or thickening fibers such as Toppik." So go with hairlineink I'm gonna hold on on this, and go with another HT and then think about it again and use toppik in the meantime
  8. @EvoXOhio @Ronnieman @Curious25 @j1mmy We can discuss that SMP vs concealer here:
  9. @Ronnieman I've been using topical dut for 2 weeks, the gel one. and I have a feeling that it does go systemic but I will report back about this. There's ppl in that discord also reporting an increase in acne spread, that hasn't happened with me, but again too soon to tell
  10. Yes, the best to use it is with hair spray! You can use it without, but with hair spray is the best way, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c_NadgH_dw
  11. Cool thanks guys! Another reply here: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/58925-does-having-smp-hinder-your-doctor-when-carrying-out-a-ht/?tab=comments#comment-582754 from a doctor
  12. @DrTBarghouthi hi doctor, what about space (sq/cm)? Would the dots impact that in any way, like not being able to place grafts on top of the dots?
  13. Could you check my post here: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/59595-smp-for-thickening-effect-diffuse-thinning-hair-and-create-density/ about when the person has hairs but it's diffusing
  14. Just the crown, you don't wanna use concealers? I have a similar question, still waiting for an answer, check it out: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/59595-smp-for-thickening-effect-diffuse-thinning-hair-and-create-density/
  15. Considering a diffuse thining hair stage. Something like the photo below. Where hair is not going to be buzzed but can be cut longer if necessary. I see photos of SMP taken indoors and looks good, okay, but how the results look when hair is exposed 1) to the sun, bright light, outdoors and 2) wet hair that causes thinning hair look even more thiner. How does it look? Can someone tell there's some sort of concealer there? The discussion comes to SMP vs. concealers. With concealers, depending how you put in on, it looks very good and natural and nobody can tell the difference. There's a video on youtbe by @Melvin-Moderatorabout this. But what about with SMP? Could anyone share their experience? cc: @hairthere
