Senior Member MachoVato Posted January 28, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) So I used some Toppik today for a video conference I had (I'm 3 months into my HT). I wanted to see what the Toppik dust looked like under a microscope. Cool! See how the fibers stick to the hairs? Now THIS is the illusion of density... a transplant is NOT an illusion!

The software kinda sucks. But here's Toppik with a ruler.

Senior Member Sean Posted February 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 8, 2021 Excellent! This is great. But if you have shocked hairs and scarred tissue with reduced density in that zone, toppik is hard to apply and will stand out to folks under certain lights. Ive tried it few times and it was manageable to some level with my first doctor who failed at restoration, but it is harder to apply on the failed work the second doctor left me with.

I am looking at amazon. Is the top $16 item similar functionality to dermatch? Dermatch is like $47 plus tax. Honestly, i wish I can get out of this nightmare. Financial damages to getting repaired are hurting me as well. Doctor left me with repair mess that requires much more financially than what I put down. my goals were never addressed as discussed. I am hoping this dermatch addresses area temporarily, where Dr was supposed to address and fix on my scalp. so frustrated with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
