Take a look at the new photos and maybe you’ll be able to judge the result better?

Today was the day to remove the scabs. It’s been 10 days, and honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it. The density looks really high, but whether that’s a good or bad thing will only become clear once the hair starts growing. I think I’d be happier if they had placed the grafts in layers, like 1-hair follicles in the front, 2-hair follicles a bit further back, and so on. But it’s still okay for now. What do you guys think? share your honest opinions.

Hey everyone, As some of you may already know, there’s this new stem cell therapy that’s gaining attention, but I haven’t been able to find many concrete results or reviews on whether it actually works. I’m wondering if it’s worth spending €1200 on the treatment, or if it might just be a waste of money in the end. Can anyone shed some light on whether it works and if it’s a genuine solution, or just another marketing gimmick?

I appreciate your detailed response, but in my case, my family – including my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins – have only ever dealt with hair loss around Norwood 2-3 maybe 4, mainly with receding hairlines. None of them have experienced hair loss as severe as Norwood 7, so I’m not too concerned about that happening to me. Before my surgery, the clinic evaluated my hair as being thick, and they mentioned that I have a lot of donor hair at the back of my head. They even said that I could be a good candidate for a second, or possibly a third, procedure if needed in the future. However, I don’t plan on having another surgery unless things significantly change and the results stay as good as they are now. I do agree that maybe the hairline was placed a bit lower than it should have been, but I actually wanted it even lower. Fortunately, the doctor refused to go any lower, which, in hindsight, was the right decision. Do you have any advice for me for the future? I realize now, after reading your detailed responses, just how uninformed I was before this. Thanks again for all your insights.

It’s a misconception that waiting is always the best approach when it comes to hair transplants. Why wait until you have significantly receding hairlines before addressing the issue? That doesn’t make much sense. The key isn’t about waiting but rather how well you take care of your hair post-surgery. I already plan to switch to Dutasteride to maximize my fight against hair loss. Additionally, I’ll be doing 7 PRP treatments per year and I pay close attention to my diet and exercise, as poor habits can also contribute to hair loss. I’m even considering stem cell therapy in the future to further support hair growth.

Yes, feel free to take a look at the pictures. They were done using a 0.7 mm clinic tool to effectively maximize density. The goal was to achieve 50-70 grafts per cm². By the way, I had the procedure done at the Cinik Clinic.

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for your honest response and feedback, which I truly appreciate. I went to the Cinik Clinic, and although I had hoped to have the temples extended, the doctor declined, saying it would lead to unrealistic results. As a result, the temples were only treated with 20 grafts per cm². He focused mainly on filling in my receding hairline and gradually worked towards the temples in the areas where I already had some hair. I was able to communicate with him in Turkish, which was particularly helpful in clearly expressing my wishes. I received comprehensive care instructions, which I am following closely. I have been taking Finasteride for 6 months now and am considering switching to Dutasteride if I continue to experience no side effects, in order to further minimize the risk of future hair loss as I age. My family has a tendency to develop receding hairlines, so I doubt I will experience significant further hair loss, but I still want to be cautious. Check out the new pictures I commented on for someone else regarding this.

Hi everyone, I recently had a DHI hair transplant with 3000 grafts, and I’d love to get your feedback. How does the result look so far, and what do you think about the design and density? I’ve noticed a small gap between the grafts and was wondering if this is normal or something to be concerned about. Has anyone experienced this before and could explain why it happens? For context, I’ve been taking Finasteride for 5 months and am also using a variety of vitamins, including Biotin, Omega-3, hair vitamins, Magnesium, Zinc, Ashwagandha, Iron, and Vitamin B12 to support the healing process. Looking forward to your thoughts and advice!
