Insane result! Do you use any hairloss medication?

Finasteride, Biotin and Complidermol 5 Alpha Plus. Shampoo I use on doctor's recommendation is Klorane Quinine. As you can see on pre-op pics I have a scalp acne problem. It's gotten a bit better with this shampoo.

Very nice report! Looks great, congratulations. Also very nice that you showed a "styled" pre-surgery pic. 

Side topic:

The hairline micro design really reminds me on the approach of Diep. There are more macro irregularities though. Would really like to see a close up. 

 

Yeah the combover was presentable at best but I think I was fooling myself more than anyone else. It also made me check the weather report every day to see if I had to wear a cap due to wind.

As for micro design I tried to show it in the 6 months post. But I'll see if I can get a better one soon.

Thank you for your comment.

It does appear some of the Spanish surgeons are just a cut above for whatever reason virtually 99% of other FUE clinics globally. This result as good as their clinic posted results, which themselves are spectacular by any sense of the word. Not a huge graft number for a fairly drastic change here too. 

I gave a shout out to Melvin and you deserve one too. During the five years I made research I was always impressed by your directness. I remember when you suggested a guy with a dark spot in his recipient area might had necrosis and it turned out to be true. That was a big moment. After that, I started trusting your opinion a lot.

Thank you for your comment!

Amazing result man, one of the best hairline results I have seen in a long time. Modest number of grafts used considering the area covered also. Congrats and thankyou for taking the time to share!

Great result for the number of grafts! Surprised that your hair/graft ratio is on the lower side too. How's the hair caliber?

And what do you think of your temple points? They seem a bit receded, have you ever considered rebuilding them and did you talk to Freitas about it?

Thanks mate.

Hair caliber I have no idea sorry, didn't ask.

You are right the temples are a bit receded, the right one worse than the left. But I made up my mind early that I didn't wanna address it now. Several reasons behind it, the main one being that I wanna keep my grafts for further loss on top. Also I use a haircut where I push everything to the right making the bang slope to cover my right temple. It looks good I think. The left one can handle being exposed for now.

9 months (in two days). Some different styles, conditions and lighting.

Hey could you please tell us what was the cost per graft? Tack så mycket

[Melvin- Admin]

The density is out of this world.

Someone recently PM’d me that the cost is 3 euros per graft. I believe its somewhere between 2.5-3 euros.

Yup not at all jealous 😆

I believe the price is individual but it's somewhere around what Melvin is saying. I paid one price for the first 1000 grafts and then a bit lower for the rest. My quote was given in early 2019 though when I booked the procedure so maybe they have changed their business model since. You should ask the clinic on whatsapp, they are very communicative.

Thank you Ignacio! Best wishes to the doctor, the nurses and the administrative team. I couldn't be happier.

Is there much of a language barrier there? Or do you speak Spanish?

Good morning, MachoVato. Thank you for your question.

If the owner of this publication allows me, I would like to tell you that in the Clinic we have multilingual workers who act as translators when a patient requires it. 
Likewise, if we receive a query by email, Wpp or social networks, we can respond in the language of the person who contacts us.
Greetings and thank you again. 

[Huncholini]

Just amazing, incredible density for that number of grafts.

I speak no Spanish beyond tourist phrases.

To add to what Ignacio is saying, in my case the head nurse acted as translator for the doctor the entire day.

I was a bit nervous when I arrived, and the doctor picked up on it. He made a joke that he was nervous too because he was an apprentice and this was his first case ever. After that it was all chill vibes.  A good balance between explaining what was happening and casual small talk about our countries. Brilliant people.

Lol that’s funny, great way to break the ice. How was the travel aspect with the whole Covid situation?

It wasn't too bad. Fill in a form on the internet that gave you a code to scan when arriving at the airport. 

I can't answer to how it is now though. So anyone interested in going but worried about the current Covid situation in Spain should ask the clinic. They were very helpful with me in terms of that too.

Some outside shots at 9.5 months. Trying to show how I wear my hair daily.

No product used. I go for a dry style where I push everything to the right. As I mentioned this is a style that works well to cover my somewhat receded right temple.
