majearh99 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 About me: I have been losing my hair since 2013 and was in a bit of denial until 2016 so I started looking for treatments. I have been on the HT journey since 2017. I’ve been applying Rogaine foam almost daily. Also taking Fin (1mg) for the last few years. Not very regular with fin it’s like on/off. I had my first FUE transplant in the Summer of 2020 from the UK, which was 1400 Grafts. I visited a few other clinics (wimpole clinic and dr asim shahmalak) and then decided to go with Dr Creg Williams at Farjo Clinic. Overall it was a good experience and the results could be better. The clinic aftercare sucks because after the treatment they never called. However, whenever I call to see meet the doc then it they schedule an in-person session. The consultation was in London but for treatment, I have to drive to Manchester. I book a hotel for 2 nights and get the night before and I was driving back the next day after my treatment. The doc said t they did not use any machine so the whole procedure was done manually. Why did I decide on Fargo? All the other clinics suggested they could do the FUT treatment right away and Farjo was the only one who suggested that I should try out the medication first (both Fin and Rogaine foam) to see how I responded to the treatment. After 9 months on the medication makes a significant difference. Here is the timeline. Jan 2019: Just before the treatment on Aug 2020 - On the treatment day. Day 3 - Day 5 it's just getting better I feel itchy at the top of my head anyone in the donor area but apart from that it's okay I sleep well last night 3-week progress. I'm doing well and I have been washing my hair properly. Started using this minoxidil again. Day 26: Day 50: Everything just going fine and I'm living like normal and no difference at all. Continue using minoxidil once or twice daily. 3 Months progress: 4 month progress: 8 month Progress: 18 month Progress: Latest May 2023 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick from Farjo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thank you for your positive comments positive comments and i am glad that you had a good outcome despite your very limited donor hair as explained by Dr Williams I am sorry that you felt the after care wasn’t to your liking, though the doctor saw you everytime you wanted. We look forward to seeing you for the follow up surgery that you discussed with Dr Williams recently.
