Thanks guys. I travel between LA and Orlando. So, either location would work for me. LA Would be better tho. Any good HT doctors that you can recommend? I wasn't sure if they would be able to work with my HCM "rug" so I was more inclined to get it at HCM, since they will provide me with a new system to wear during the HT process and time it takes to see the growth. I'm not sure if I can get HT somewhere else and then have HCM provide me a rug to cover for the time it takes to see the growth back.

Hi, I am 30 yo with a receding hair line. I started losing hair 3 yrs ago (runs in the family) and before it got really bad, I went to HCM for their system. While I have heard lot of bad things about the so-called RUG, I have had a good experience with it and no one has been able to even suspect that I have a rug on my head. I've had no problems with hair quality or the rug coming out/blown away or any other issues. Only downside that I can think of is the costs. However, recently I was asked by HCM whether I wanted to get HT done. I am totally new to this concept and would like to hear from you guys about this experience. Has any HCM member got HT done from them? i was told that I would be able to wear the system with clips until I saw growth and it was healed. I understand I won't get the thickness of a rug that I actually like with a HT, but I am scared that it might be too thin for my liking. Alao, I find it strange that I haven't met the doc and have been dealing with the HT person at HCM. She has been trying to make me sign on the credit app and set an appt, so I can start the process w/o actually meeting the doc? Is that normal? What all should I look out for? Questions that I need to ask that a new HT candidate might not think of? Also, is it better to wait few more years before I get a HT? I think I am fine with the system and my girlfriend that I am planning to marry next year knows about it and supports me either way. I was told I would need at least 2500 grafts and they charge $4/graft I think. My only issue is whether it is too early to get HT and since they shaved my head of top where they put my system, not sure if 2500 grafts would be enough. Any suggestions will be helpful..thanks.
