I decided to go for a hair procedure on 29th of June. I've been losing my hair since before I was 20 - I'm now 47.I opted for DHI Glasgow after much research. I was also considering Vinci in Glasgow but plumped for DHI.
I have been using minoxidil since I was around 25, propecia since I was approximately 30 and nisoral shampoo since 40. I believe they have all contributed to slowing down my hair loss but ultimately I was still losing my hair.
I have gradually lost most of my hair over the years but haven't considered something (in my my mind) as drastic as a hair transplant until this year. I started using a laser cap around October last year and this seemed to stabilise my hair loss. Perhaps this stability made me think a ht could now work for me.
I only wanted something subtle and I made this clear with the first meeting at DHI. The decision was made to go for the mega+ session which lasted one day. I wanted this to go across the front and crown with a limited number of grafts through the middle. The key for me is subtle as I want to limit the number of people who know I've had the procedure. My wife knows and is very supportive and I'm not sure if I want anyone else to know .... I'll just need to see how it plays out.
I want to mention that I've been following this site for a number of months and it's really helped me following other people's stories. I decided I really should do the same as it might help others who are considering their options.
I also want to make it clear I am about the furthest away from brave that you can imagine. I have been so anxious in the build up to my procedure. In all honesty I didn't have anything to worry about as I was in really good hands.
Anyway here is a picture the day before my procedure
