Senior Member hairthere Posted February 26, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately this is the type of FUE donor scarring that's becoming acceptable and too commonplace. I'm seeing many guys coming in with these types of concentrated FUE patterns. Many are from clinics in Turkey but several, this example included, were done in the US. The majority are also being done with robotic FUE. The client is pictured one week post 2nd session of SMP.

But while this is another stream of revenue for me I'd rather not have it. There's absolutely no reason for guys to be getting this type of sloppy extraction work done. 3 1 I am the owner/operator of AHEAD INK a Scalp Micropigmentation Company in Fort Lee, New Jersey. www.aheadink.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punches that were made too close to each other ? curious how this can be avoided You can avoid by using a top surgeon. The doctors recommend on this site are a good start as they have all been vetted for you. Results like this basically come down to “doctors” looking to cut corners and extract grafts quickly. This saves them time and time equals money, right? FUE is a painstaking and meticulous method. It requires patience, care and the punch sizes need to be as small as possible. None of the three were exercised with this particular client.

autechre Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I have this EXACT issue. Of course it doesn't show if I keep my hair long, but I also do like the shorter hair look. Im starting to look into getting this done. The result of the SMP looks amazing. How much does something like this cost? Would I need to shave my head?

Thank you. please text 201-482-4529 or email info@aheadink.com You can text or email me pictures for an assessment, course of treatment and exact price quote. I do usually require shaving donor zone with a zero guard for FUE concealment.

Senior Member Silent123 Posted March 24, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hey man, how many sessions did it require to look like this? I bet you are seeing a large rise in repair cases. I have no idea why Turkish clinics extract so closely together and cause such obvious thinning like that. Madness ! Good job anyway dude 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job anyway dude 👏 FUE repair typically requires two sessions, however the second is more of a check up and fine tuning session. It's not just Turkish clinics. I'm actually seeing just as many, and even worse, FUE patterns done here in the USA. In fact, this client had his FUE done in New Jersey.

Senior Member mavigo Posted March 25, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2023 I think FUE leaving no visible scar is a MASSIVE misnomer. Only under the skill of a good doctor, it is mostly invisible. Under a bad doctor, it can be as visible or worse than an FUT.

Hey man, you're not wrong, FUE when overdone definitely look worse than a pencil thin strip scar. See some horrendous donors following over-harvesting over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what the donor looks like when shaved. If there's no appearance of shaved hair then the entire zone might need to be treated. 1 I am the owner/operator of AHEAD INK a Scalp Micropigmentation Company in Fort Lee, New Jersey. www.aheadink.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
