Regular Member Bej520 Posted April 24 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 24 Month 5 update, I think it’s fair to say the progress has slowed and the hairline may need another touch up in a few months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bej520 Posted May 11 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 11 Month 5 1/2 Update. I’m really happy with how the hair is starting to look now. I’ve resisted the urge to cut it for 2/3 weeks now since my last post and really happy with the look the additional length is providing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Antonfarat Posted May 11 Regular Member Share Posted May 11 This is looking very good mate. Minimal scarring, even with the poor donor. Lots of coverage and little to no initial shedding, decent density. Not sure why people aren’t raving about this more (perhaps doc. doesn’t sponsor this as I am sure the others do), we may have another high NW slayer doc. here. Like this is Zarev/Pitella graft levels in one session, with good management of everything else (at probably a fraction of the price). I will be following closely (it is still early to say how this’ll turn out), but if this turns out good, you may have uncovered a little diamond in the rough here with this doc. Good luck and please keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bej520 Posted May 11 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 11 @hair_forever thanks, I thought I might be passed the fun part, month 1-4 was amazing! The growth seems to have slowed down recently. From what I’ve read, from now I should start expecting thickening of current hair, and maybe an additional 20% of new sprouts across the next 6 1/2 months.

Good luck and please keep us posted. Thanks bro! The scarring is pretty much non existent and I can only tell when I get a skin fade. I think they’re still maybe a little way off the skill level of Zarev/Pitella and the likes. Hair direction seems abit crazy haha, but their use of alternative donor areas is what truly separates them. Combining scalp, beard, and chest in one in one session with PRP included in their quote is a great option for high Norwood clients. I’m glad you feel it’s too early to tell if this will be a success, l take that as there’s still potential for more growth. I was thinking of a follow up session next year, to bolster the frontal third and vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few months is going through the shedding of the transplanted grafts and then waiting for growth to start.

I waould say wait at least a full year before you really consider your options, and try growing it out past like month 6/7 to see what it looks like with a bit of length. You might never look back from that point, as the length might give you the density you re after. I know it’s tough, because it looks good very short, then not so good in between and then you get a couple cm on there and it starts to really look like a full head of hair. Or it should, if all goes well. Hang tight pal, I think it’ll turn out good 🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Antonfarat Posted May 12 Regular Member Share Posted May 12 Separately, can I ask how you found these chaps? Like their website is pretty hidden, and in all honesty and hope no offence - it doesn’t exactly inspire trust. Also no high NW cases on there as far as I can tell, so how’d you figure these guys will sort you out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad esempio, il loro sito Web è piuttosto nascosto e, in tutta onestà e spero senza offesa, non ispira esattamente fiducia. Inoltre, per quanto ne so, non ci sono casi di NW elevato lì, quindi come pensi che questi ragazzi ti risolveranno? I thought the same thing on their site there are no such high cases of NW..

Regular Member Bej520 Posted May 12 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 12 @hair_forever @Antonfarat I came across them on YouTube first, they’ve got loads of high Norwood cases there I believe, where they were doing giga sessions combing scalp, beard, and chest grafts. I made a few posts here a couple of years ago, and was told by a few guys that there wasn’t really much of a chance to go for the look I wanted. So when I came across these guys, it gave me hope of managing to get 9-12k grafts. Check out their instagram and YouTube pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
