FarsanUk Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Very similar stage to mine where everything has shed long ago and nothing much happans now , this is the hardest stage by the start of month 4 you should see alot more sprouting don't worry about the bad reviews it's only a very small amount of people who have complaints on here when you compare to good results.

Senior Member LordBaldwin Posted January 1, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, Kraistoff said: to be honest, all these negative posts have me petrified . Worried that my techs didn’t have experience, worried that the consultation was short, etc I wouldn't worry, dude. According to the timeline the clinic provides (as well as other sources), growth doesn't even usually *start* until around month 3. As far as the negative reviews are concerned, it's a very small percentage of cases...two guys, in particular, have been very loud on here, but they don't even come close to representing the majority.

Senior Member VicTNYC Posted January 1, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2019 Your progress looks normal, no need to be paranoid or worried, just don’t do anything extreme to your scalp and you should be good, you’re not even at 4 months.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 5, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2019 It’s now 16 weeks question: does that mean 4 months?

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 10, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 Almost 4 months now so hoping to see a big difference thid week I have felt that my hair looks better and thicker what do you reckon?

FarsanUk Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Looks on course. Don't expect a huge cosmetic difference till at least 6 to 8 months when most of the magic will really kick in. From now till then small sprouting of hairs will occur and different times and in different areas, these will.be very weak at The start but by 6 -8 months it will.be a enough to makes huge difference.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 10, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks Farsan indont think people realise that I was completely bald (literally as bald as an egg ) in the front above the temples . You can see a freackle which was totally skin before the transplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 26, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Week 19 4.5 months i feel that my hair is getting thicker each day. Below are photos in natural light , in room light and with flash . i am worried that due to my very pale skin and relatively dark hair, if I have any kind of density issue it will be noticeable (especially to me) what do you you all think?

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted January 26, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Improving nicely. Although, you may want to consider getting your hair cut much shorter, it helps level out the difference between your native hair and the new hair as well as makes density look better than when it’s long and only at 4.5months. I too have somewhat pale skin, and hair used to be dark ash but now more salt and pepper. Edited January 26, 2019 by CosmoKramer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarsanUk Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Don't worry so much. The biggest cosmetic change happans between 6 to 8 months. So far it's as expected. But yes I'm in the same boat as you I have pale skin and black hair. You should also realise that even though you had a lot of grafts you should always be prepared for a second surgery at some point to add density although at the moment it's too early to judge exactly how it will end up. Theres no such thing as 1 and done especially in an area where you had so much baldness before.Short hair like the other guy said will look better going forwards but not so short.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 26, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 Guys dont think you realise how pale I am I am half welsh half Irish. I get sunburn from a light bulb never had a tan in my life only sunburn , then I shed my skin like a snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarsanUk Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Exactly thsts why I'm saying when you go into surgery you always should be prepared for another surgery down the line especially with those characteristics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Kraistoff Posted January 26, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2019 Farsan i knew this on the back of my mind. But wasn’t warned of this by Asmed. My rep even told me I didn’t have high contrast (I did have second thoughts before surgery ) i have spoken to Asmed after surgery raising my concerns about contrast and I have been told (via asmed on this forum) that hair to skin contrast isn’t the only factor in a successful hair transplant - which I agree with . Youre the first person that has told me I would need a second hair transplant. I knew it deep down as I did a lot of research. I chose asmed as they are known for more grafts than other clinics , so naturally the density would be better . But nobody on the clinic told me about this .
