    They were very unprofessional in most cases. Last PRP session that I did, I waited for almost 2hrs to be done. The laser gear was on my head for 40mins even if the actual run time is only 15mins. I didn’t remove it cos the nurse told me not to touch it.

    Yes. Since I was constantly being passed to the nurses/technicians of that medical center whenever I ask something, I never really got a concrete answer. Apparently, the 2500-2600 estimate was just from one of the technicians planted some of the grafts. 2 weeks ago when I went to do my last free PRP session, the same doctor who did the surgery was there and I was able to ask him directly about the number of grafts. It is also shown on my records on their clinic.

    Hi Doc. I'm not quite sure if they harvested it good but they were very intricate during the procedure so I hope they really did. Based on your experience doc, can you tell if based on the grafts count, I can expect a good hair growth when it starts to grow? and also, my primary question in this thread is if I'm still in the right timeline and everything at the moment is still normal. Can you please confirm or have an input about it? Thank you doc.

    I just confirmed 2weeks ago when I did my last PRP session that it was 1500 grafts only. And yes, I just wish I'm one of those who have hair growth faster than normal since my wedding is coming up in a few weeks.

    I heard that brand toppik from a friend of mine. I'll just order it from amazon to cover up the empty spots. I honestly think I'm still in ugly duckling phase and won't get past this until 3weeks from now. I just need to accept that even a decent hairline wont be visible during my wedding.

    This is how my hair looks pre op. It was dense enough on the first couple of weeks post op but it’s all gone now.

    Clinic name is Seven D Medical Center in Jumeirah, Dubai UAE. That's actually what I'm planning to do but I'm not familiar on these hair fiber brands. Can you recommend a good brand that I can use? Graft planted was 1500. The first picture is taken 2 weeks post op and the other 2 pictures are taken yesterday and the day before which falls on 6 weeks post op. So basically, I'm on 15 weeks post op on my wedding day. I became very optimistic thinking that it will look decent after 3mos, but after looking on some people's experience, that's when I realized that it is a case to case basis and I might not end up exactly as the others do. :'(

    Hi Guys. It's been almost 7 weeks since I did my Hair Transplant and based on most people's experiences I've seen on youtube and pictures uploaded in this forum, it's about time for my shedding to stop. On the last couple of days, I'm not seeing anymore hair fall or lost during shower and even when I wake up in the morning. The 2nd and 3rd picture is the current state of my recipient area which really bothers me. As you can see, some pores looks like it's closed and some do look like it's completely gone and the hole that the doctor made when he implanted the grafts also healed like it's just a scar now. I'm not sure if this is what it should look like on my current status but compare to my status on my 2nd week (1st picture), it looks really different. Can somebody verify to me that everything that is currently happening in my HT journey is normal? I'm really starting to lose hope specially because I will have my wedding in 8 weeks time. I'm not wisihing for a full grown hair but at least my hairline should updated when that time comes. :'(

    Hi Guys. It's my 20 days post-op today and I just had someone to look at my current hair progress. Upon seeing the current state, it seems like some bald spots show up after losing some of the grafts. I know that I'm already on the shedding phase and things aren't supposed to be taken seriously at this time but please here me out because based on what I'm seeing when I take pictures of my head, it looks like the bald spots doesn't have grafts or pores that will grow hair. Please check on the images on this post to see the comparison of my head couple of days post-op and the current situation. The first 2 pictures are taken earlier and the rest are just today.

    Hi Guys. Today is my 16th day post-op and also my first day going back to work. I've been washing my hair since 11th day and I haven't seen a drastic loss of transplanted hair like I did today. As you can notice on the first picture(taken 4 days ago) and second picture(taken today), the lost of hair on some parts are very noticeable. What I realized is that, the fallen hair doesn't have the roots attached to it and it just looks like hair after you had your haircut. I can also see that there is something inside each inplanted graft even if the visible hair came off. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the "shedding" part post-op will just be like this or the roots will come off as well?

    Will just stick on the baby shampoo for 30 days then. Appreciate your answers 😊
  12. Reijo
    That's what I'm planning to do. Hopefully the 2 free sessions will stimulate hair growth on the transplanted area and also help on the thinning area.

    For most clinics and medical facilities that provides PRP treatment here in Dubai, they require or suggest a minimum of 3 sessions to see visible results. I've been asking around about it before I did my HT and there's only 1 clinic who told me to go for HT before doing PRP cos most of my issues won't be solved by it. I would probably do the free PRP sessions with my HT package but see first if there's really something going on before engaging myself to another PRP treatment. Thank you 😊
  14. Reijo
    Oh btw, do you know when is the recommended time get back to my regular shampoo after the HT? As I've mentioned, I was using the Avalon Organics Biotin + B-complex before doing HT and the texture of this shampoo is almost the same as the J&Js baby shampoo.
  15. Reijo
    Will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you 😊
  16. Reijo
    Will probably not gonna waste more money on it. I will just get the 2 free PRP sessions that comes with my HT package. Thanks for answering 😊
  17. Reijo
    As this whole experience is new to me, I was just thinking if I can help out on anything that my hair needs to stimulate growth. The HT itself costed me so much that I had to take out some of my savings. But it's a good thing that you guys are here to help people like me who's struggling to get tangible information from the clinic where I did my HT. My HT package comes with 2 free PRP sessions and 4 laser strengthening sessions and when I asked the technician when I can get the first PRP session, she said I can do it that day (10th day post-op). I didn't trust her verdict that's why I wanted to ask the community on this matter.

    Hi. I'm 12 days post-op FUE Hair transplant and I'm thinking to start PRP sessions to stimulate hair growth on the transplanted and thinning areas. Few questions comes in mind while I'm thinking about this and it's listed below. 1. Can I start PRP session 14 days post operation? 2. What is the minimum number of days/weeks before each PRP session? 3. How many PRP sessions do I need to make sure its effectiveness? Another side question regarding post-op FUE HT is this -- when can I start using a regular shampoo and not a baby shampoo after the transplant? I was using Avalon Organics Biotin + B-complex shampoo and conditioner before my HT and it's actually a really mild shampoo(almost the same as the baby shampoo), so I was thinking if I can replace the baby shampoo with this and probably help a little bit in stimulating hair growth. Any answers or suggestions are welcome. Thank you guys

    Hi. Yes they did. I spoke to the doctor and he said that it's 2550 grafts in total.
  20. Reijo
    These are the stages... 1st pic: Pre-OP 2nd pic: 1 day Post-OP 3rd pic: 12 days Post-OP

    Thank you for the answer. I can probably do with finasteride but minoxidil has more bad side effects to me than good ones. That's why I'm thinking of just taking the oral pills for it. I went ahead with the Biotin supplements and ordered a bottle that is good for at least 3mos. I hope it can help out on the growth. Did you also try microneedling? I can see so many testimony that it really helped them grow hair on parts that they thought is dead already. If you've tried it, can you suggest a brand to use?

    Hi guys. It's my 12th day post-op today, 2 days after the first head wash and it seems like all the grafts are already in place. As I wonder in the internet, I've seen couple of ways to improve hair growth and make sure that the transplanted hair will grow healthy. I do hope you can help me answer these questions I have below to help me hair growth. 1. Does taking Biotin food supplement helps in hair growth? 2. As you can see, my crown is really not that healthy and I have to do something about it and doctor suggested a 2nd FUE HT for that area but I'm not really fond of it. My question is, is there any way I can promote hair growth in that specific area? Can Micro-needling help in that? 3. Given that it's the 12th day post-op today, around what day can I expect the redness on the trasnplanted area to be gone? 4. Can I go back to my old shampoo (Avalon Organics Biotin shampoo and conditioner) or do I still need to use baby shampoo at this stage? I hope you guys have patience on answering my questions. I would really appreciate any help or suggestion on how to increase hair growth specially on my crown. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day ahead.

    The Dr did the incisions. They just rounded off the amount but one of the technicians who's separating my grafts when extracted said it's somewhere between 2580ish. Yes I'm still doing the after care procedures, I'm just being carried away by the videos I'm seeing in youtube since some of them looks far from what I'm currently in. But thank you so much for responding. This is really reassuring 😊
  24. Reijo
    I'm trying but I can't get through him. It's only the technicians/nurses I'm able to reach that's why some of my concerns are really bothering me.
  25. Reijo
    Oh that's very reassuring. So, safe to say that all these transplanted grafts are already in place, right?
