MachoVato 52 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (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!

But here's Toppik with a ruler. Pretty small! 2 My hair transplant journey. FUE by HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 158 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 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.

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 post Share on other sites
