    Looks like it was worth every penny😅 Congratulations! I'm also talking wth Selim at Pure Line. I haven't decided yet.

    Absolutely the right choice! Price, service, and result were all great for me.

    Great result so far. What is your reason for wanting a second session?

    The crown area looked very sparse a few weeks ago, but the hair growth is continuing and improving. Looks like there won't be any need

    Update please? Seems like all the pureline posters on this fourm posted initial pics but nothing past a month or two... :s

    The process is going very well. The top area is sparse, but the hair in the front area has grown well. I'm busy this week, but I'll share photos next week.

    Avoid this hairmill please, for your own sake.

    The clinic that performs one operation a day and where the doctor is with me all day is not a hair mill. Don't give wrong information please!

  3. Hi mate, it is not easy to decide, I really understand you well. I had a hair transplant at Pure Line Clinic. I can say that the service was great and I received reasonable answers to every question I asked. Dr.Mesut was with me all day and I witnessed that they performed one operation a day. Also, even after the operation, whenever I wrote to them, it usually didn't take more than 15 minutes for them to respond. I have read a lot about the patients who didn't receive a reply after the operation quickly, so I recommend it. I also share my process on the forum. You can follow mate

  4. Norwood 6, 4386 grafts Black package(2600 Euro) done yesterday, 31.08.2023 

    I appreciated all the useful advice I received here, so I wanted to give back by detailing my own hair loss journey and transplant procedure. 

    Hair Loss History 

    I started losing my hair about 6 years ago when I was 22 and immediately started minoxidil. It helped but my hair loss slowly continued.Last year I decided to have HT.

    Research

    I started looking at FUECapilar and Bicer last summer but ultimately went with Pure Line because I liked his hairlines the most and they always gave me faster and more logical answers. I also had the opportunity to talk to real patients of them via Facebook and Instagram.

    Journey

    As soon as I got off the plane and picked up the phone, a welcome to Istanbul message greeted me and I was asked to contact if I had any problems until I got to the hotel. It was pretty easy than I expected. After going to the hotel, I walked around a bit. Medical consultant Selim helped me not only with my operation process but also with all my needs in Istanbul. Afterwards, I went to the hotel and rested, and in the morning I was picked up by car and went to the hospital. Selim greeted me there and I filled out the forms and made the payment.

    Then started with a consultation. They checked my hairs, I had a lot of doubles and triples in the back, which we were both excited about. Then they drew my hairline and explained why he wouldn’t recommend going higher or lower. I was expecting a higher, more mature/partially receded hairline, so I was very happy when he drew on the one he did and said he was confident that this would be the best look for me. 

    The original plan was not to touch the crown at all, but Dr. Mesut said that I had enough grafts to split coverage between mid scalp and lower crown, which I was also very happy about. My crown is a big insecurity and I was hoping that we would be able to touch it during this surgery. 

    After that, I got my head shaved and went into the surgery room.  I was honestly expecting worse from what I’ve seen people say about them. Yes, they definitely sting, but the pain doesn’t last for long and it’s over quickly. Once the numbing set in after about 10 minutes, I felt next to nothing for the rest of the procedure.

    Dr. Mesut's team worked efficiently to extract the grafts from my donor area. Doctor checked in periodically to ensure I was comfortable.

    After the grafts were harvested, they continued with local anesthesia for the transplant area and it was much faster than the donor area. Then they continue with the incisions part. They gave me a break to eat lunch and relax before the implantation phase. Dr. Mesut took great care in creating the hairline, using my natural hair as a guide. They were able to extract more grafts than originally estimated, so I ended up with 4386 in total transplanted. Dr. Mesut strategically distributed them between the hairline, mid-scalp, and a bit into the crown to give good coverage. By early evening, the implantation was complete. They cleaned me up, went over post-op care instructions, and sent me back to the hotel to rest.My operation took 10.5 hours and I better understand why they are getting one case per day. I was exhausted but thrilled with how everything went. 

    Overall, while long, the hair transplant day went smoother than anticipated. The Pure Line team's experience and care ensured maximum grafts and minimal discomfort. I'm excited to see the regrowth over the coming months and will provide further updates! Please let me know if you would like me to elaborate on any other details of the surgery experience.

    No definitely not confusing them with anyone else, search the name on here and as far as I can see we don’t have a completed journey yet. 12 months patient posted results are what’s needed. 
    Anyway I don’t want to derail this thread in talking about one specific clinic, please do create you’re own thread when you have had you’re procedure 👍

    I'll share my process. I really did a lot of research so I was curious. Thanks anyway!

  6. Sure can you share some poorer results? This is not marketing, I spoke to the patient one-on-one. Also I met 5 different patients from hair loss facebook groups. I haven't seen a worse result, but I would be very happy if you share it.

    @AliJ.They are known for poorer results too, the video is marketing of course, however it’s good you actually sought out to speak to some patients. 
    Have you looked access the forums, Reddit etc for actual patient posted journeys?

    12 months is needed to see the result though, which Clinic/Dr have you chosen? 

    I'll go to Dr.Mesut Demir at Pure Line Clinic. I watched a few videos and talked to some patients on Facebook. They only perform one case per day, which is a bit different from other Turkish clinics. This video was also effective in my decision.
