Senior Member hairweare Posted March 12, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2015 Speed during a procedure could be either a good or bad thing. A virtuoso pianist or guitarist can play their instruments at blazing speed without missing a note so I wouldn't rate an experienced physician by how fast he is. If you are looking for a doc with a "slow hand" I would avoid Lorenzo -! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RobertHa Posted March 16, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2015 Mainly the fact that the clinic seems to churn out procedures on a daily basis, i have read about too many failed procedures/unsatisfied customers for me to be 100% confident in him doing fue, and he apparently works really fast using an automatic punch. Hi Shacked, At the Rahal Hair Clinic, we have two procedures a day: one FUT and one FUE. Dr. Rahal is attentive and constantly checks in with each patient frequently throughout their procedure. The patient's care, comfortability and needs are our number one priority. Our team of nurses and technicians are fully aware of each patient's state at all times. We have become really efficient at our FUE extraction. However, this is not to say that we rush the FUE extraction process, nor the FUT strip removal. We take the time needed to properly and safely extract (or strip remove) each follicular unit to yield the highest survival rate. This part of the procedure is very important to us. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email or call me. I'm always happy to provide clarification about our process. Any questions, please let me know. Robert Ha, Senior Patient Advisor Dr. H. Rahal is a highly esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Rahal - Restoring more than just hair™ Current Hair Loss Arsenal: Proscar 5mg (Cut into 1/4): 1x Daily Generic Minoxidil 5%: 2x Daily Nizoral Shampoo: 2x weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shacked Posted March 16, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2015 Please do not turn my thread into a marketing outlet for the Dr. you represent. I was voicing my opinion that led to my choice, in direct response to the question asked of me. Please talk independently to prospective patients outside of this discussion as I have no need for additional info past what I already have regarding your Dr. You only initially joined this thread when it was flagged to you that "Rahal" was mentioned. This thread has very little to do with him so please discuss elsewhere. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shacked Posted March 23, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2015 Still some hairs that haven't come through. Longest I've been able to have my hair in a good few years. The minoxidil seems to be doing the trick on my feeble attempt at a beard also! Believe it or not it was much more feeble before! Been applying to the beard for probably about 8 months.

Senior Member wibbles180 Posted March 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks great ! How do you rate the density of the transplanted areas ? Can you tell where your transplanted hair blends into your original hair ? Some wet hair pics would be great when you have time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted March 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2015 Right on! Your hair and beard are looking great! Congrats!

Senior Member chrisdav Posted April 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great result Shacked. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member refuse2lose Posted April 16, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 home run result! looks very natural. how long are you planning on growing out the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dolph1969 Posted April 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 I understand Reddy works out of another clinic in Manchester. Are the prices the same there as his Harley Street practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shacked Posted April 16, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks, guys. @paulb: If memory serves there have been some quite bad reviews of The Hair Transplant Clinic, so make sure you do your home work. The price you quoted is half what I paid. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for". @refuse2lose: I'll continue to grow as long as poss without the crown looking too thin, At the moment its fine thanks to the Propecia and minox.

Senior Member ModernHair Posted April 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great results! I'm 13 days out since mine (approx. 1800 grafts). Had a fantastic Dr. in Colorado (James Harris) who is also cutting edge in FUE so I'm hoping for the same great results you've had! Your transformation is really remarkable - congrats!!! 1,792 graft FUE with Dr. James Harris (Denver, Colorado) on April 2-3, 2015 313 graft FUE with Dr. James Harris (Denver, Colorado) on May 3, 2016 to make it perfect!!!

Senior Member Shacked Posted April 16, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 I understand Reddy works out of another clinic in Manchester. Are the prices the same there as his Harley Street practice? He potentially works out of a clinic in Nottinghamshire I believe or somewhere similar. I believe the per FUE price is the same but you may get charged for moving his whole team up there. I think it would be much better to go to the regular well equipped London clinic, but thats something you would have to discuss with the Doc.
