Smp

[britboy]

Ok (Ladies) and Gentlemen,

 

Im booked for full SMP in September -I think I have found a good SMP clinic actually in London...Nu-Style Hair Centre - South London. Ive seen samples of the work and its looks ok. I had a skype consultation and I am assured that the job will be done well. also the price seems reasonable. Colour of SMP will be decided on the day. This is to give some extra density to my recent hair and hair procedure.

 

Its early days for full review and results on Marals work from May this year but I need to move forward before I'm too old to care anymore.

 

I'm also looking at a second procedure with Maral for the crown in October. So its all guns blazing. In for a penny in for a pound as the old saying goes.

 

So far, I'm happy with what I see growing from my May procedure.

 

Minoxidil - Ive had several spots (10) on crown appear on my head which have required bursting. (some white puss is released) I can only imagine this is chemical from Minoxidil. Not big but big enough to concern me. Ive never had these spots before in previous procedures, so I can only put it down to the Minoxidil - Has anyone else had spots caused by Minoxidil? - I'm definitely not sold on Minoxidil as yet and will give it max 12 months. If no results by then I will stop using it.... and if the spots continue, I might ditch Minoxidil earlier.

Is your intention to wear your hair the length it is in these pictures? If so I don't think you're a very good candidate for SMP. Simply put, you don't have enough hair and the contrast between hair and dots will be noticeable. I would proceed with extreme caution and rethink having this done especially if using permanent pigment.

Those white spots sound suspiciously a bit like folliculitis and could be an infection. You should contact the clinic you had your transplant done at to discuss this with the physician. You want to have that cleared up and your scalp in great condition before you do any SMP.

Nicole is right, the spots sound like folliculitis. 10 spots is a lot and they'll be caused by your May FUE procedure and not likely to be caused by Minox. Start treating them with hot compresses and alert your ht physician. They'll want you to get on antibiotics if they don't clear up in the next week or two.

I forgot to mention I have been wearing a hat since the operation, I don't suppose this helps. I will reduce wearing it as much as possible. I now only have one spot. I am also stopping using minoxidil until after my SMP procedure. But will continue with my Onion Juice therapy. Will increase to atleast 3 x weekly for 30 Mins.

 

I shall if necessary cancel SMP (due to take place on 11th September) if there is a continued occurrence of follicular problems.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the advice. My intention is to grow my hair as per my profile Photos - I usually wear my hair medium length and there is a lot more hair than on these photos.

 

I'm 3 months post op so Im hoping there will also be and there is to date, more hair than 3 months back, just that it is very short currently and its only 3 months P op.

 

At this stage I stil intend to proceed, although I know its a long shot, but then I'm willing to live with it, as I would rather hair darker area under or around my head than showing light skin colour.

 

If you look at my photos in my Bio and or profile you will see the hair cover quite well considering. Im hoping this new op I've had and a further procedure will ony enhance the look. :eek:
