You sprinkle it on. If you're doing the crown/mid scalp region it can be done in less than 30 seconds. Hairline area could take longer (from my experience), and won't blend in as well as it will the top/back I believe.

If you run your hands thru your hair then yes some will get on your hands. Really depends how much you apply to begin with though.

Thanks for your reply. I'm actually 21 and have already had two procedures totalling around 4500 grafts. The hairline was placed about 1 inch approx above where it normally was ( I had a very low hairline when I actually had frontal hair). I was just sort of curious how they determined where it went. Thanks.

I was curious if there was some sort of general rule of thumb when creating a new hairline, with regards to the previous natural hairline. I'm sure most if not all transplant are not exactly where the real one was, but how far above the original, is the new hairline generally placed at?

Sounds like MHR

French toast was created by Joseph French in the state of New York (true fact)

It's being done by Dr. Gabel here in the Portland, OR area (he was recommended by Pat). Should be having anywhere from 1800-2200 or so placed all in the frontal/hairline region for dense packing. Wish me luck! I will post pics soon..if I can get the camera to work

I'm sure I will..hopefully. Just need to find a real good doc at dense packing. Really wish I would have known about Hasson and Wong when I did my procedure last year. I would have been able to knock out 4,000 or so grafts in one sitting and not have to worry about another one . Will just hate having to hide my head again while the scalp heals/hair grows back, since im sure the doc will trim the hair down to do the transplant. For me it will just interupt quite a bit with my school/work/social life.

Trep..how old are you/what is the severity of your hair loss? Kinda curious how it compares to mine. As you can see from my pre-op photos (taken nov 2004, just 3 months after my 20th bday) my hair loss situation is verryyy bad.

So..how in the world does that applicator work??

Yes, of course I have fear for my future hair loss. Will propecia and minoxidil work? Possibly, but for how long? Couldn't really say. Either way I'm not going to let fear get in my way of doing something I want to accomplish. If everybody gave up on something because they were scared, where would we all be today?

When I had the first HT, the doc did place individual 1 hair grafts in the front (to start a hairline). it's approx 3 cm above where my natural hairline is. It doesn't look too high, but doesn't look too low. At least in my opinion.

I'm 21 years old. Had my first HT 1 year ago of 2205 grafts mainly focused in the frontal area, but spread throughout the front/bridge area. I've been losing hair since approx age 16 and by age 20 basically had 0 hair in the frontal/hairline area. I've been on propecia for the last 2 years approx. So far it seems to have stopped (or at least slowed down) the hair loss in my crown/bridge area. Right now I basically want to bring the density of my hairline and frontal region to the 45 grafts per/cm area. Conceiling the thinning of my bridge/crown is fairly easy (using toppik), so the front is my main concern/what i distress over mostly.

I'm basically just looking for some insight/opinions on this sort of decision at my age. Here is a link to some pictures of my hairloss/first procedure..

I've been thinking about getting an HT at a clinic in Canada and was quoted two different prices, one for Canadian citizens and one for US citizens. I was told the reason US citizens are charged more per graft, is because of the cost of US malpractice insurance. I'm curious though, why would they need malpractice insurance if they're operating strictly in the US? Because I'm sure they also operate on patients from other nations as well. Is it not possible to just sign a waiver stating that I waive all right to file suit against the doctors? Just seems odd to me..

Just now trying to learn about the both, can any of you tell me about it? Or better yet show me photos of transplants using each of the techniques?

I had 2205 grafts done last year, total was $8300 USD. Thinking of possibly getting another 3000, which will be around $11,500 USD. How about the rest of you? How many grafts to date at what cost?

So when you guys say your grafts fell out..you do mean the hairs right? Not the follicle?

http://www.folica.com sells it. That is where I buy it

I'm curious how many of you happen to use a concealer type product (toppik or other products like it) after your HT to make it appear fuller and/or to cover in thin spots?

I've used that before. But for me on my own head, i'm actually curious how many square centimeters there are that would have grafts placed in them.
