Hi all,
Just wanted to give an update on my ht experience, as this forum and the people in it were a great help to me on my journey.
@Rossybop @Duke1984 @Colly29Thanks
Last Tues 29th March I had my first HT with Dr Saifi in Wroclaw Poland. It was a very good experience from the beginning to the end.
Basically the format was identical to Keith's experience here so I won't repeat it all. But I want to say that I am very happy with how they looked after me on the day. Dr Saifi was very easy to talk to and is a good guy who really takes pride in his work. I've attached a few before and afters.
My issue is that I'm not wanting to take Fin so will likely get a laser from here https://hairmax.ie/ as they are fda approved. Will continue with topical minoxidil and talk to gp about the oral form.
I enjoy going to gym so that will increase my testosterone (which is a good thing outside of hair world) and so this will inevitably lead to more dht unless I take a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, which i'm reluctant to do. Therefore, hoping for the best with what I said above. Also if anyone has other tips would be great please. Anyway, it was a great experience, the city is lovely and so it the hotel.
Things to be v careful about. Bumping your head after, either getting into taxi but also on the plane. I had a scare on the plane grazed the top of head. Getting out of the plane, the wind took the hat off and in effort to try and catch it ended up hitting my head, would have lost a few grafts there. Having the hat on in the plane, be careful when eating not to knock the peak of the hat, did that too. Well worth getting a neck support, (like Keith has in his pics) before having the surgery so that the crown of head doesn't bang off anything when sleeping etc. Did that too, now using the neck support at home.
It's possible I'll need another touch up next year for some more density on the crown but delighted I made the first move in getting this done.
Also, I'd say to people to take 1.5 to 2 weeks off work.
Any questions at all, dm and will get back when can. Sorry bout the pics being sideways.
Cheers,
Tom
