Hi :-) Awesome, I will let him know, as I believe the team has nothing to be ashamed of - they use, as far as I remember, 0.8mm punches, do FUE/FIT ONLY, grafts are not dissected, but prepared for the micro-incisions under a stereo microscope, implanting is done with respect to depth, direction, angles, etc.. If he decides so, I'll be more than happy to assist him and the team with serving you guys/ladies some examples of their work. And yes, I am aware you've all seen plenty of photos, cases, etc..and are skeptical at first. But there's no other way of testing if the team can be up to your high expectations, but give you all something solid .. :-) Again, I'd love to help them post some stuff, but it's up to them. Will keep you posted, thanks for your time and patience with me Cheers

Dear Moderator, It's so nice to actually see a moderator act and react as an adult, thumbs up :-) My own hair is still holding(knock on wood), but I see it's thinning already, and, by the time I'm 35 it may be too obvious (I'm 30 now) Hopefully, by then the field will have advanced even further and a solution will be easy to find, and easy to justify as the right thing to do (a strip is a no-no, for me, and FUE is too early for me, I have been told - the pattern needs to settle down a bit more) I have a friend, as I mentioned in my post, who is the actual Managing Director of this new clinic. He is a FUE patient himself, a long time enthusiast and knows a lot about the topic from a personal point of view, as well as a professional point of view. As far as I know, he had no financial or any other stops while equipping the clinic. the team is small, but devoted, and they're regulated by all the medical regulators in the UK. They are members of some world known Hair Restoration Surgeons Societies, and have a doctor perform the surgery by himself, with a stereo microscope(made in the UK) utilising assistant. They focus on quality, don't even try to claim mega- or giga-sessions and will soon have some great post-op pictures. For now, it's too early after the sessions, and even though the results look great, nobody will publish a pre-op, immediate post-op photos only, without the 3 months after and 6 months after, etc.. Yes the team is not famous, and for legal reasons they can not have any of their previous work published on a website under their name. I'm roughly informed about the topic, but decided to check what people are looking for in the field(I'm a web-developer myself) and what they're finding. Therefore, your site gave me tons of information, but I noticed a person looking for some help in the UK. Given I'm trying to always help people, if it costs me nothing, especially ^^ I posted about the clinic and the small team my friend directs. I believe that a hair-restoration session is an important step for everybody, and that talking to nice people that know about stuff and can explain, demonstrate, teach is the obvious way to go. I'm not sure about the other UK doctors, I'm aware they exist, but have never seen them(heard some were 60 years old !!! therefore my lil comment before) and maybe they're really good.. I like having options in my life.I provided the poster with one he probbaly didn't know of. If he values his free time more than the free advice he can get from them, so be it. If not - hey, I might have just helped him actually find information and possibly someone to actually help him with his problem. Cheers, I still insist I only had good intentions :-) And your site is all about exploring options and opinions, right ? :-) keep it up, and if I break any rules, let me know, again :-) Peace.

This is a dangerous and misleading statement. Thanks for sharing your opinion, moderator :-) I still believe that I'd rather have a thousand small sub-1mm spots spread all over my donor than a "fine" line that pulls my forehead and stretches over time and has to be fixed by FUE one day..(in some cases, at least) Both Strip and FUE will leave scarring behind - just differently. In the best hands, however, scarring can be minimal - both with Strip or FUE/FIT. P.S. Blatant promoting and solicitation of products or clinics is not allowed here. I have removed your link. I'm not promoting, I'm allowing for somebody to get to the bigger numbers of specialists to talk to. Excuse me for appearing otherwise I did, however, check out your site before I removed the promotion link. The information is limited and I do not see any before/after pictures of any of your patients. The site is not up to me to assess, I know they have a phonenumber and an e-mail form on it, which should be enough for my intention to help the original poster in some way. For future reference, please read our terms of service. Will do, thanks, glad you're removing links, but people can still read what I say, will stay away from posting links from now on, thanks. :-) Failure to comply with these rules will result in suspension or termination of posting privileges. Your rules, your decisions. I'll try to comply, thanks :-) Thanks, Bill

What type of Hair Restoration Procedure would you like to have done ? If you want to shy away from strip and any scarring procedures, then find yourself somebody that does FUE or similar. A friend of mine recommended a new clinic, as they have all the latest equipment and know precisely what they're doing. Most clinics will give you a free consultation/assessment(this one will). Get yourself examined and assessed and adviced by at least 3 specialists, and make a more educated choice. Good Luck P.S. the clinic I'm talking about is The Harley Street Hair Clinic (Link removed) P.P.S. Oh, and my personal opinion - handling your sub-1mm graft extracts when the doc is a 60 years old man is not going to be physically easy. Find yourself a young focused, precise person with steady hands and good vision. Improves results a lot :-) Just my ??.02
