Rahal Hair Transplant

@Daniel2727, While hair transplant surgery is a single procedure that occurs during one or maybe two days, hair transplant growth is a process that takes up to 12 to 18 months to see the final result. But because results don’t just sprout up overnight on the 365th day, there will be tall tale signs of success or failure along the way. I should caution you however, that is the timeline for everybody is different. In other words, while some may start seeing signs of new growth at three months and significant growth between the fifth and sixth month, others may not even start to see signs of new growth until the fifth month. all that to say however, I would suggest that if there is little to no growth by the 7th or 8th month that there may be an issue. Because even slow growers typically see pretty good signs of growth by that point. But again… Stranger things have happened and I have seen individuals who have been exceptionally concerned around 6 to 7 months that turned out to be completely happy by the time they reached the year marker. typically between one year and 18 months, there still may be some sickening that occurs but for the most part, one’s final result is typically around 12 months.

@SY7, Yes, it is completely normal for some of the transplant hair to come out with the scabs when gently working them off in the shower. Unless you experience pain or see bleeding, this phenomenon is completely normal and is just the hair shaft breaking away from the follicle that is safe and sound underneath the surface of the scalp. It typically takes 4 to 5 days for the follicles to become deeply rooted although usually we say a week to be safe. I hope this helps Patient Advocate - Rahal Hair Transplant

Dear forum members, Here begins the journey of a patient who underwent an FUE hair transplant procedure in September 2022, performed by Dr. Rahal. The patient received 2982 grafts, resulting in 5925 beautiful hairs. The surgical breakdown covers various areas in meticulous detail. Here's the breakdown of Follicular Units (FUs): 1-haired FUs: 467 2-haired FUs: 2096 3-haired FUs: 410 4-haired FUs: 9 The grand tally stands at 2982 grafts and a total of 5925 hairs. Here are some additional surgical sundries Zones Treated: 1, 2, 3 Recipient Area Size: 74cm² Average Hairs per Graft: 1.98 Recipient Graft Density: 40.3 FU/cm² Recipient Hair Density: 80 H/cm² Hair Calibre: 55 Microns At the time of the procedure, our patient was 29 years old and has been battling hair loss for approximately 6 years. He tried using finasteride before the surgery but didn't continue with it afterwards. He also experimented with Rogaine (minoxidil) but stopped due to dandruff issues. His family history reveals that both his father's and mother's sides have a strong history of hair loss, as advanced as a Norwood 6 to 7. Moving forward to today: he is incredibly pleased with his results and wants to show off his new thick, shiny hair and attractive hairline.

@Melvin- Admin, Unfortunately, the patient lives too far away and couldn't return for us to take photos for ourselves. Thus, the only photos showing results that we have are the ones the patient took himself. That said, his results are ultra-impressive, I'd say :-). Patient Advocate - Rahal Hair Transplant

The above are just a few of the most recent ones. If you use the search feature, you'll definitely find a lot more :-). I'm not sure if the below "results" URL is static or dynamic...but in case it's static, I've done the search for you and provided the results. Now, these are most likely only the results we've presented as I only did the search using this forum category. So hopefully it works :-). https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/search/?&q=Rahal&type=forums_topic&nodes=17&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles Rahal Hair Transplant

@HookHairs, Thanks for posting and asking about Dr. Rahal. Yes, I can assure you that Dr. Rahal is regularly producing outstanding results. I personally try to post one example each week...in fact, i will be presenting another one today. I've been working formally with Dr. Rahal for just over 3 years now and before that, over the last 15 years of being in the hair restoration profession. Dr. Rahal has always impressed me and his nickname "King of Hairlines" is well deserved, in my opinion. That said, I'm always pleased to see one of his patients posting on the forum. I'm glad you are happy with your results. You said you recently underwent a consultation? When was it? I may have spoken with you. Feel free to send me a private message if you wish. In the meantime, I'll post a few URLs of several of the recent results we presented over the last several months here for you. Also, stay tuned for another one today :-). Best wishes, Patient Advocate - Rahal Hair Transplant

@Calihome1, I happen to agree with you that in that one picture, it looks a little thinner...but still very natural. But even the thickest hair densities will look thinner at some angles and under some lighting conditions. As you can see, his hairline is very natural and it certainly is very dense which shows at every other angle. But thank you for your opinion. Best wishes, Patient Advocate - Rahal Hair Transplant

@Electric, Generic finasteride and brand named Propecia should essentially be the same - providing both the same benefit and the same possibility of side effects. Of course, there are less than reputable pharmacies that sell knock offs with who knows how much of the active ingredient and other inactives that can and have caused negative reactions At the end of the day, just make sure that you purchase generic finasteride from a reputable pharmacy and you should be fine. That said, you may want to get a doctors input on where exactly to purchase finasteride so that you have the best chances of obtaining legitimate generics.
