HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Hi Fidcusleh, Is it really... natural looking? Well, following the string I have had grafts at the Nobel Clinic with upwards of 5/6 hairs, and frankly no they arnt natural looking, the surface area of skin around the hair makes for a big graft with then getts squashed by the healing scalp to make th...

Keep me posted on what you find Tekito, I need more products to obesess about! (I always fancyed a saw palmetto tea...) thanks again & good luck

Hey Tekito, I just thorght, if you were the ultimate in tea purity, you can get a product called white tea, which is even less refined than green tea, it tastes a lot like slighly fragrent water! I was assured by the man in the tea shop in North Point mall (not 20mins from ITHI office in Atlanta) wh...

Hi Michelle, In the end I went with United Pharmacys, who are Canadian I think, they ship to the UK and are not much more expesive than getting proscar on private perscription. Are there any strong opinions on the strength of dose needed / recomended for duasteride in the ITHI office? I take 0.5mg p...

Hi teko & wassup, Wise words there about Chocolate... Green & Blacks 70% for ever! Anyhow I dont pretend to have any guru type advice on green tea, I actually buy the cheapest brand available in the UK (From Aldi supermakets!) at about 3p a bag. The way I see it is this, green tea is the sam...

Yep apart from the taxis I recon Alpharetta is an easy & nice place to stay!

take care Michelle!

Hi Girltec, Great to hear from you, timely too as Pirates of the Carabian2 comes out in England today, pirate jokes always make me think of Atlanta for some reason! Anyhow, I'm down to the few weeks of my spray, I guess I should start wearing sun screen when it runs out? What do you guys think about...

Hi Tangeray, I'm with watchman on this, I think its a shame not to spend a couple of hours on a plane to get to see the best. You could even be back in New York in a day or an overnight at worst. Think about us poor Brits! It costs $1000+ to fly mid week to the US as all the flights are for execs! H...

Hi Apgr & Girltech, I agree with you both about the weight you can put on photo's, I think very bad transplants can make 'very good looking' photos in much the same way that very thin hair can make a very decent comb-over. From one angle at one time the hair can look full and normal, but can be ...

I feel like I'm lettimg myself in for some punishment by offering an answer to a question set by you Socrates, but I think you will find the side effects, if any of propecia will wear off in time. I haven't heard of provillus? I hope it hasn't been recommended to you by the chap who got you the heml...

HI Learn the hard way, I just have to say I have been theorught the same thing, exept I live in the UK so I went to the first person to show me a nice looking portfolio of photos, its just horrible when a minor bit of hairloss makes you down and you try and fix it and you feel like you have fallen t...

By the way, for any of you thinking of staying at the extended stay hotel I have a travel tip, if you need internet access during your say and dont want to get a $10 cab to north point mall, just walk for 3 mins to Schlotzskys Deli...! It is the opposite direction to the Waffle House! They have 3 I-...

Hi VWBuslover! How come aspirin is recommended for redness? I would think (probably wrongly) that any substance which thins the blood would tend to increase the redness? I might be tempted to try things which soothe the skin and so may reduce infamation, perhaps aole vera, or even arnica gel? I woul...

I had fue last year with Dr Cole and I really cannot see a drop off in density. In fact when I have had 1000+ hair strips I have seen very little change in my density, that said I do wear my hair a lot longer than you! I personally would not be worried about the scarring from fue, as in my experienc...

Hi Don, I'm with the chorus saying "great scar" don't worry, and you wear your hair very short, let it grow out another 5mm and I bet you would strugle to see it yourself. Is it the fact that the scar is quite red still that bothers you? I mean in time it will fade, if it were more pale it would get...

Can I ask, have there been any IHTI innovations in strip removal in the last 2 years? I was very pleased in Cyprus with my strip, but I don't remember it being as comfortable as this time. Actually perhaps comfortable is not the word, it seems that the big improvement to me is that I have recovered ...

Hi All, Things are proceeding very nicely after my biggest ever session with you, did we get upto 1300 grafts? Anyhow as far as I know I didn't lose 1 while healing, and my recipient site looks fine already. I bort some of the hair cycle 'biotin' spray off you, and although I probaly vaped about a t...

Hi, in case I enhance my well deserved reputation as a wind bag (going on a bit) I will keep this post short. I have just got back to the UK after another wonderful experience at IHTI. This time I was aiming to fill in my hairline with another strip of aprox 1000 grafts, but I think the final count ...

Hi Needadvice,

For sure I didn't need to cut my hair in order to receive a Dr Cole hairline ht, I don't think I'm unusual here. I know some Dr's do prefer to shave the recipient area, and they must have their reasons, but for me this is way too traumatic to even think about!

Hi ohmymaggie, I'm not sure I could add anything to the suggestions in the rest of the thread, good basic vitamin & mineral supplement would seem to be an obvious way to go. It sounds like you have thinning all over your hair bearing scalp, rather than in just the male zones? I have heard that t...
