Hi Guys,

Had my first hair transplant today at the Hair Dr Clinic in Dewsbury, UK with Dr Arshad. I don't particularily have bad hairloss, I just wanted my temples and hairline restoring after they moved up about an inch at the sides when I was 18/19, I am now 29.

Great experience from the beginning, from the initial contact & consultation, then to arriving on the day, everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and go through everything in detail with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I met with Dr Arshad who had a look at my current hair, and drew on my new hairline which I was very happy with.

See before pics below:

Once happy, I was given a gown to change into, and had my head shaved. Then I had the extraction of the grafts done, the initial injections are uncomfortable but it only lasts for a minute, then its completely pain free. The extraction process isn't bad, you just lay down on your stomach, it was soon over.

After, we had lunch which was provided, they take your order and get it from a local cafe, I had a toastie & chips which filled me up nicely.

After lunch I had the channel incisions done by Dr Arshad which seemed to go very fast & was pain free.

Next I then had all my grafts inserted by their team of technicians who are very professional and polite. You get to relax and watch TV or listen to music during this,

My day seemed to go quick and 1500 grafts only took around 6-7 hours, I was finished by 3:15pm!

Dr Arshad was very happy with the result, as was I. I was given all the required medication to take for the next week at least while it heals, and given a detailed calender chart which shows what time to take your pills etc.

I am very happy that I have my hairline back, and I will update with further progress pictures as the healing process continues.


Overall so far my experience with the Hair Dr clinic was very positive & professional and I have no faults. I now await my results after healing!

Hi, how much did this cost if you don't mind me asking?

They charge £3 per graft

Ah I see, that's annoying, but oh well least it's sorted now!

Had a great consultation today, going ahead with the Touch Up to add more grafts to the hairline & will also include a free PRP treatment which should help alot too.

Looking forward to the final result!!

Good to hear you’re happy with the outcome of your appraisal.
How many grafts will you be having with this follow up procedure?

Not sure how many I have left!! I’m a NW6, 42, and don’t take any meds due to sides. I have have had 9,100. I don’t have any left at the back of my donor, but my sides still feel good and I have a really dense beard, so hope for maybe 1500 in crown and midscalp to add a bit of density.

Look forward to seeing the updates

My question was for the shape but nice to get an update on your current situation.

Not exactly sure yet how many, will find out on the day, but said it wouldn't be a big job like the first one, should just be a few hours in the afternoon

What sides did you get?

I realised that after I'd pressed 'post' D'oh!!

What sides did you get?

I always seem to get run down on it, and pick up far more colds. I know there is no evidence for this, but I have cycled on and off it for years, and always experience the same thing. I even tried topical finasteride this summer, hoping it would be different, but I had 3 colds in about 7 weeks. This only happens when I am on fin. I spoke to Dr Arshad about this, and he said I must just be very sensitive to it. It's a shame, because I respond really well to it.

UPDATE - FUE TOUCH UP @ THE HAIR DR - 15.12.2021

Hi Guys, new update.

I had my touch up today to add more density to my hairline at The Hair Dr with Dr Arshad which went really well.

I arrived at 7:45 am & had the initial consultation with the Dr where we looked at which areas to fill etc. Initially Dr Arshad said we would probably use around 500 grafts.

I then shaved my head and headed into the Treatment room where Dr Arshad performed the extractions himself.

We ended up extracting around 800 grafts in the end! lots of multis to dense pack the area behind the hairline, and some more singles to build up the hairline a little more.

We then moved straight onto the incisions which Dr Arshad performed himself again, & I also had PRP treatment done at the same time which we hope will promote regrowth even more with the new grafts!

Dr Arshad then put a few grafts in himself into the hairline around the couple of multigrafts that were in there from my first transplant.

After this the Technicians implanted the rest of the grafts & we were done by around 1pm.

I had a quick bite of lunch there which was provided for me & then we took some pics etc and went over the aftercare plan,

So now I am home & healing and a little sore, but looking forward to seeing the results in the coming months.

All in all, everyone was very kind & professional as always & I have had a great day.

Few pics attached from when I got home, I will upload the pics we took at the clinic before and straight after when I get hold of them.

 

[Edsarn]

That should make a big difference! Looking forward to seeing the updates.

Heal well!

 

[Edsarn]

p.s., who performed the extractions last time?

Thanks! I wil update accordingly, Dr Hamza did the extractions last time

 

[Edsarn]

When I had my surgery with the hair Dr, Helen did my extractions. I believe she has left now though. She was very experienced.

 

[theshape1122]

Post Op picture taken at the clinic, you can see how much we packed the grafts in to get that density this time!

 

[Hemingway]

Hope it goes well!

I am also having a top up at the Hair Dr in 7 weeks for a result similar to yours. Did Dr Arshad advise you to use minoxidil and Nizoral before and after your top up?

Thanks! I tried minoxidil previously before I had my touch up, I have taken Finasteride daily since my first transplant a year ago, Nizoral hasn't been mentioned
