Hi, My name is Akash, I am from India, I had a HT surgery (9weeks back). I just wanted your honest, clear cut opinion about a query I have and it would be very kind if you can spare a few minutes to respond to my query. During my surgery (9 weeks back) I was told by the doctor that I have a very hard skin and there is a popping effect (when they were trying to insert one graft the surrounding grafts were coming out), and after 9 weeks now I can see that most of my grafts (specially in the temporal area) have neither grown nor shed. I am very worried as I read that shedding normally occurs after 1-5 weeks of the transplant, and also heard from a youtuber that if transplanted hair doesn't grow or shed within 3-4 months then they are as good as dead and new hair won't come out from them. Please can you confirm this?, if it is true then my transplant most probably has failed. And, is there any way to soften scalp skin, in case I go for a 2nd transplant in the future. Regards, Akash

Hello I am Michael from Leeds, age 32 and I had a FUE hair transplant with Dr Arshad at the Hair Dr Clinic in Dewsbury back in Feburary 2018. I have had amazing results, compliments and feel great! So I decided to have a go at doing a forum of my story to show, advise and answer any questions for other people out there who have just had the proceedure done or considering it. I have a Instagram page of my Hair transplant story which I blog about it, If interested in that search "mikes_fue_story. So I will start my story with a before and current 9 months on photo and a brief account of why I had the proceedure done, and kinda a little introduction. Then I will go back to the beggings and give a detailed account of my story. I hope you enjoy reading and that it helps you with your own hairloss worries or conserns post proceedure. I am no professional and will advise you best to my knowledge and from my experience. Ok.. so my profile picture already shows you I have a great hairline again and great density which is why i am starting this way. I used to have long hair in my early to mid 20's and around age 26 I cut it short and noticed along with family and friends say " receeding a bit there Michael" and I thought it just becaused I had gone from long hair to cutting it short so didnt think of it as a issue. gettin closer to 30 I knew i was thinning and receeding at the temples and often looked into ways to resolve this. Me been weird and into these things I always knew about hair transplants when i wasnt receeding. I never liked the FUT method and the having a liniar scar. So I already knew about the FUE hair transplant method and was intrigued and would watch videos of the proceedure ect. Last years (2017) Christmas dinner with familyconversation started about my hairline and that " I was the last in the family people would think would loose his hair" And just as I thought they made comments like I still had a lot of hair still on top and its just receeding. I then told them I had actually been thinking of going to see a couple of surgeons for their opinion and quotes, Having a idea of price and amount Id need. Family agreed and said "why not" so in new year I filled in online on 2 websites and awaited thier responses. Only the Hair Dr Clinic responded and so I sent in photos, to which they replied to a day later and gave me a rough quote and set up a face to face consultation with Dr Arshad. When I arrived and was met with a warm welcoming and friendly Sommiya who is the Practice manager and she took me to the office where I was met with Dr Arshad. I will pause the story there like I say I will go back to the beginning and give a more detailed account and photos of that stage. If you can not wait then again look up my Instagram mikes_fue_story and see pictures there and feel free to message me there. The picture I have uploaded with this post shows you my hair before FUE proceedure with the receeding hairline and temples compared to now 9 months + on... Think you would agree there is a MASSIVE difference!! Briefly.. as I will go into more detail in future posts, I was unhappy I was loosing my hair so young... we all do/are. I did not feel I was down and depressed about it but I know I missed it, worried what I would look like bald, felt I still had too much hair to be shaving it down every other day and I know I did not like looking at pictures as been fair haired and lighting I look more bald than what I saw in the mirror. But as soon as the proceedure was finished and I was led back to Dr Arshad's affice to do the big reveal... I saw a new man in the mirror! I aint the most confident of people but I immediately felt more confident and so much happier as I could see a new full hairline on my head! Hope this has been a nice introduction to my experience and story and I will add more detailed posts and photos soon. I am just happy to talk about it and help advise anyone going through hair loss and considering the proceedure. Without sounding cheesy and big headed but this before and after photo speaks for itself and shows you my amazing results so far and the fantastic work of Dr Arshad and the Hair Dr team. Thank you Michael -
#BeforeAndAfterMondays This patient underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 2429 grafts were placed His hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his own) platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure. This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs. Rather than a larger FUE punch used by a robotic approach, Dr. Wesley used a smaller caliber hand-held motorized punch to performed the donor harvest. This approach better enabled the capture of donor hair roots that are slightly curved beneath the skin surface. Upon completion of the harvest, the patient’s donor area was treated with PRP and ACell in order to not only minimize scar tissue formation, but also encourage partial regeneration of donor hair follicles. The patient returned 2 years (please excuse the typo on one of the slides) after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below. This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery. Similar patient hair transformations with Dr. Wesley and his team may also be viewed. -

Hi, I'm a 36 year old Asian male and I just want to share a bit from my own personal experience. I started experiencing thinning of hair in my 20s, and needless to say I started panicking. I did quite a bit of research and ended up giving Propecia a try. This was pretty effective, and I remained on Propecia for around 5 years. I did experience its nasty side effect though, which was reduced libido and a loss potent erection. I promptly searched for another solution and ended up trying a ginseng based solution from a branded hair care chain in Malaysia (Yun Nam). This was pretty pricey (USD4K+ for a treatment package), but it wasn't effective and I quit after 10 months. I'm currently on an Ayurveda based solution, by Cosmetology. Ayurveda is basically a traditional medicine system from India which has been around for eons, and this has been really effective for me. You can see the pics below (top is before, bottom is after). While the front scalp is slowly regaining hair, the top part is where the results came pretty quickly. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased and still on this product for the past year.

Has Anyone Else Had Success With Hemp CBD Oil? Just my quick backstory: After initially employing CBD Oil as part of a night time, anti-aging facial routine, I noticed what appeared to be new hairs sprouting from the top of my head, near to where I had been applying the serum. At the same time surprised and excited, I decided to see what would happen if I applied CBD Oil daily to my scalp, would I indeed see my Thinning Hair come in thicker and fuller, could CBD Oil potentially be used to Stop Hair Loss and potentially even help assist to Regrow Hair? These are all questions I am currently still trying to answer, in the meantime I have decided to track the results by taking daily video shots of my hair to track its health, thickness, progression and regrowth. And from what I can tell my hair does seem to be coming in thicker and fuller including in the crown area and on top of my head, where thinning was already far advanced and balding very apparent. Let me know what you think of my results so far after about 5 Months of applying Hemp CBD Oil to my scalp once in the evening before bed: -
This topic is only for a discussion and I have the utmost respect for all hair transplant patients. I myself have undergone hair transplant. Is it a possibility that patients who go for multiple hair transplant procedures even after having a good coverage on their scalp, have a tendency to develop or are experiencing body dysmorphic disorder? I have always found it intriguing that as a Counsellor, is it more ethical to try and understand where this need for little tweaks and top ups come from? Patients who actually have a visible requirement for the procedure have the obvious reason to opt for the procedure. But at the same time, there are patients who want to take it a notch higher by getting a little bit done here and again go for more sometime later. Sometimes I see patients who look gorgeous with the hair they have. And their hairlines are so perfect (according to me) but they, however, feel otherwise. It can get downright offensive if I tell them directly that they seem to have the perceived stigma in their mind. It becomes difficult to understand why an already beautiful growth - which does not cause any physical pain, distress or embarrassment, would drive the individual to enhance it further. As a Counsellor, it is always on the back of my mind that "isn't it the correct thing to try and help the patient find self-acceptance" first? I am of the principle that the patient is taking away happiness and peace when they get a procedure done. However, is it possible if the patient will not be satisfied and if they have an ongoing dissatisfaction and resentment towards themselves? It is the best thing to do if a patient has a superficial motive to enhance or regain their look by counter attacking baldness. But here are patients who never stop at the surgeries. The procedures keep piling up. They endure the investment of finances, limited donor and all the hassle of getting the procedures done. Do you all, as patients for hair transplantation, feel that maybe we could also be looking at situations where people might need more than just a look change? And that era.might need to change something much more than just the outer appearance for them? With all respect to anyone who reads.

When I apply Toppik fibers on my scalp, it usually just conceals the thinning areas with a light layer. However, near my part at the front of my head, the Toppik always clumps up directly on the scalp. At first it didn't bother me because it covers up the thinning area, but now I'm worried that hair can't grow through the fibers. In other words, at the area just adjacent to the part, there's usually a build-up of fibers (not that noticeable if you look at it, but I can definitely feel a bump of toppik when I touch that spot)- will this inhibit hair growth? I read that hair growth is controlled from inside, not above, but how can the hair grow up if there are these clumped up fibers on top? Thanks. -
