Follow up review from my SECOND hair transplant with Dr. Karalexis in Athens Greece: I came back to Athens for a second hair transplant after very good results from my first surgery. Despite the fact that I don't the best donor area and my hair is very fine. Dr. Karalexis was able to get around 1,450 grafts on the second transplant. He filled in my crawn area mainly and put some transplants in the front of my head for more density. Again, I am very happy with the results so far. He is a great doctor and has a great team. He actually performs the surgery with his team. I wouldn't trust any other Dr. with my donor area, since you only have one. If I ever think of doing it again, (if possible) I wouldn't hesitate to do it again with Dr. Karalexis. I traveled from the USA just to have the surgery with him. I am happy to recommend him again and if I can answer any questions for you, please don't hesitate to contact me. Feel free to read my review from 2017 below. Thank You , J. Becht Below my previous post from June 2017: I've just joined the group and I'd like to recommend Dr. Karalexis Apostolos in Athens Greece. Here is my story: "After visiting 4 different doctors, regardless of the price (he was not the lowest price, in the middle) I felt very comfortable and confident for our first meeting. He was very honest about what results he would provide for me (I didn’t have the best donor area). He never made me feel pressured at all. He event gave me his personal cell and told me I could called him after anytime after our first meeting and then after the procedure. He saw me the day after the procedure and one week after since I was in Greece on vacation. His two assistants during the procedure were also very professional and well trained. I would go back for another procedure anytime. He was very professional, qualified and really cares about his patients. Top notch office, very clean and nice." Any questions, please feel free to email me. J. Becht -

Weston System in San Bernadino, Californa
MarkWestonHair posted a topic in Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
A great example of The Weston System performed by our California Center owner, Michael Pichinte. Mr. Pichinte added density to this hair transplant recipient and camouflaged the thin areas on the crown and the FUE scars. The pigmentation is slightly behind the HT surgeon's uneven hairline on the left as opposed to the client's right side. The client was going to buzz down his hair slightly shorter to blend in the hairline that the HT surgeon mismatched in the front. Photo was taken immediately after this one-session only procedure. -
Thinking about a Hair Transplant abroad? Use Diagonal
nathanielbowditch18 posted a topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
What is Diagonal? Hi everyone! Nate here. Frank Grillo, myself, and some others have come together to create Diagonal. Created by former and prospective HT patients, Diagonal diagnoses the right hair transplant doctor for you. We help US patients find the right doctor -- usually abroad -- by providing all the necessary information and handling all the logistics as a personal concierge. We were created by former/prospective patients who were exhausted from combing through all the forums and clinics’ sites to find relevant information on hair transplants. How often have you seen, “How good is doctor X?” or “FUT or FUE?” or “How much should I expect X,XXX number of grafts to cost?”. Our aim is to simplify the process so that you can easily know everything involved in the procedure. If you want to learn more, we would love for you to talk to one of our former patients today: http://www.diagonalhealth.com/contact.html'>http://www.diagonalhealth.com/contact.html Why Diagonal? We’re big fans of Hair Restoration Network. However, we’ve found it challenging to dig through various posts to find the right information on various clinics. Some clinic sites do a terrific job outlining their services and setting expectations, but they still lack testimonials and reviews. The clinics are the best source of information for the doctors. However, that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Each doctor has a different specialty in a specific procedure. Finding the right doctor given your needs isn’t always easy. The barber will always tell you you need a haircut. We want to get you to a place where you can get a haircut regularly. What’s Diagonal asking for? If you’re a US patient looking to get a hair transplant, we would love to talk to you. We’re already working with a handful of the best clinics: http://www.diagonalhealth.com/contact.html If you’re outside the US, we would still love to talk to you too. Our focus is on US patients at present. We will gladly take any and all feedback on our site. -

Steve Gabel, MD – Portland, Seattle – 2098 Graft Crown Transplant
Steven Gabel, MD, FACS posted a topic in Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics
This 53-year-old gentleman started thinning years ago at the top and crown areas of his scalp. He had tried medications without any significant growth. We transplanted 2098 grafts into the crown approximately 6 months ago. The series of photographs show the scalp as he presented before any surgery or haircuts, another photograph depicting the area of transplant showing his natural swirl pattern with blue markings, and the 6-month preliminary results. The swirl pattern was created by following some the “wispy” natural hairs that he had so I am able to make the slits in the natural direction and angle of his native hair. At 6 months, the transplanted follicular unit grafts are growing very well. He said that he did not shed that much after surgery and he has been already cutting his hair regularly. Also, the video shows the close up of the donor scar, which is thin and difficult to see even with his hair cut very short. Overall the hair growth is excellent at this stage and we anticipate that the number of hairs will continue to increase and his hair will also thicken over time. He said he would come back in 3-month intervals to show his growth over time. -

Dr. Steven Gabel Patient/Photos & Video - Female Frontal Hairline Restoration
Steven Gabel, MD, FACS posted a topic in Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics
For several years, this patient has noticed a gradual thinning and decline of her frontal hairline. She felt that it was thinning to the point where she was unable to style it to her liking and always had to brush it forward to hide her hairline. It became very frustrating to her and ultimately she was self conscious about it. We designed a female pattern hairline by following her current hairline and lowering it to make a very natural female hairline. 2234 grafts were placed into the frontal hairline and immediately behind it to connect to her native hairline. Over 750 single haired grafts were placed just in the immediate 1 - 2 centimeters and the rest of the grafts were used to connect the new hairline to her native hairline. Close up photographs show the density of the frontal hairline around 60 FU/sq. cm. Once the grafts were placed, I surveyed the entire transplanted region, especially the frontal hairline, and additional grafts were placed in any spaces that could accommodate the hair. Photographs were submitted with similar orientations showing the timeline for the restoration process: immediately after surgery, 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year following the hair transplant procedure. A video demonstrates the 1 year result at approximately 85% growth; we expect the transplanted hairs to mature and thicken up over the next year of growth. -
Steve Gabel, MD – Northwest Portland/Seattle - 2642 grafts frontal hairline
Steven Gabel, MD, FACS posted a topic in Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics
This 41-year-old gentleman was concerned about his receding hairline and desired to have it recreated to a more youthful appearance. Although we discussed his thinning mid-scalp, that did not bother him as much as the hairline, which he wanted us to concentrate our efforts on. 2642 grafts were placed in recreating the frontal hairline and frontotemporal angles. Understanding that hair loss is progressive, he also elected to be more diligent with medical therapy by taking minoxidil and finasteride, which he had been using on and off in the past. He feels that since starting medical therapy, his hair loss has slowed down. The results are shown 2 years following the hair transplantation. Just before the last visit, he cut his hair short, which he feels gives him a nice, clean appearance with his new hairstyle, which he is very happy with. Shortly, I will add a video showing his two year results. -
Hair Transplants and Minoxidil, Propecia and Laser coombs (2nd post)
adambucky posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Is it necessary to keep using Minoxidil/propecia or laser hair coomb after a hair transplant if previously used? I would have thought that having a hair transplant would be a permanent solution to hair loss and that other treatments would no longer have to be used?! therefore the investment of a transplant saving on the long term (for life) costs of and the effort of continually using minoxidil, propecia and laser coombs. Why would I need to carry on with treatments such as Propecia, Minoxidil and laser combs apart from the goal of stopping the lose of hair that they have re-grown when a transplant could replace this hair for good without the effort/side effects of ongoing/timeless treatments If any naturally occurring hair that is still present at the time of transplant that subsequently falls out, I would then perhaps expect to have to pay for another transplant (I have read in ‘Hair Loss for Dummies’ that its advisable to come with a long term plan with the surgeon to take into account future hair loss or have future hair loss in a constituency plan) However If I did want to save on transplants costs then using Minoxidil/propecia and/or laser coomb to help stop future loss of the naturally occurring hair that’s left could be an option (I still have some hair in the front/middle of my scalp) I have also read that minoxidil/propecia are advised by some surgeons to be used following transplant even if not previously used Ideally I would want to stick to transplants due to having one off charges and not having to either pay regularly (minoxidil, propecia) or have the effort of their application (laser coomb and Minoxidil) or the risk of side effects (minoxidil and Propecia) If I was previously using these treatments I woud ideally want to stop using them and have a transplant to replace any hair that either has fallen out naturally or has re-grown and would fall out if I used then stopped using Minoxidil/propecia/laser coomb.
