Thank you. what's FUE?

Thank you all. Of course you are correct. The more I read here the more I realize that this is a major undertaking - physically and financially. It is not just walking into a clinic for an ingrown nail, or something. How do I PM here?

You guys (and gals?) are great with your responses. So I am planning on a free consult with the Shapiro group. What questions should I ask? I kinda get the idea of the procedure itself but among the posts that I read (about MHR) I saw interesting comments like: who is doing the procedure: someone complained about the doctor doing the hairlines and "kids" doing the rest. Someone else was talking about the specifics - I cannot read my notes now - about using special blades? Thank you for any information.

I admit, the MHR clinic is close to my place and have been thinking of using them for my transplant. However, a quick search of this site gave me second thoughts. At least, the first notes that I read are from 2002, 2004 and 2006. Are they still that bad? In all location? I will seek also the Shapiro Group after reading the posts here. Longer drive but this is a decision that can not be taken lightly.

Thank you for your replies. So it is the follicles themselves, not the "soil" where they are growing that cause the growth.

I am seriously considering hair transplant. I am curious as why would new follicle grow in an are that, obviously, did not support the original ones. Is it the follicles, or the blood supply to this area? Thanks.
