What a great & detailed video. You have a very natural result! People would pay top surgeons to get close to the result you got in Turkey. I'm happy you're happy with the outcome. :) I've been posting my hair transplant journey on a hairloss forum that is very judgemental to elithair and they're surprised at how well it has turned out also. As you say I think the only downside is that they don't name their technicians.
Just finished all you're vids. Your results are superb!! I am on day 2, if I have your results I will really be over the moon! Thanks for the diary, you have provided great information!
It’s looking excellent and so natural. I’m 7 months in from my FUE in Turkey and really happy with the results. Watching your videos really helped, the first 3 were the worst and it’s so reassuring to see other people go through the same process. The front of mine looks 90%, just a few wirey hairs left. The crown is around 60%, I can feel loads of spikey hairs coming through. I started taking Finasteride, biotin and multi vitamins 1 month before my procedure and I’ll carry on with these. I also use GrowMe shampoo & conditioner which may or may not help!
Looks great! Brilliant video too, really honest and upfront about your experience. Glad you’ve got your confidence back and feel much happier, and that’s what it’s all about🙌🏻
How’s your hair looking now pal? Send me another update email when you get chance 👍🏻 It’s the barber who makes my beard look good. I get a hair and beard trim once a month and then just try to maintain it myself for the rest of the time..
@@HairlineConfessions Can’t complain - Growing it out now so it’s very long. Will ping you over an email. Can still see you are passionate about getting another one. I felt the same 😅
The problem with turkey is not the 5 hour flight. The problem is there's a lot of scummy clinics that are charging a really cheap price but promising you the world and giving you nothing. As long as you do your research you should be fine but be aware, even the clinics with a huge name in Turkey are known to be hair mills.
Exceptional results mate!! Congrats, from up north here too. Just goes to show if you are lucky enough to not have any adverse side effects from both Minox+ Fin, that protocol post HT does significantly help the process along, somewhat faster and the end result especially the crown area as you mentioned. I see a lot on TH-cam post HT that can't or don't use the said two and struggle to gain a dense enough crown or the hair generally doesn't seem to look that full which is unfortunate. It seems the two medications are a must in order to get the best efficacy and end result, not to mention to maintain and stop the hair thinning further. I'm currently trying Microneedling. Considering getting the Dermonater 2 in the near future. J
I have vitiligo on my scalp so my concern is it doesn't take, but then finding a surgeon who has dealt with someone in a similar situation might be rare. So I can go to Turkey from the UK, it's just It gives me some added reassurance that they have dealt with someone with vitligo patches on their scalp.
It’s pretty much just a “short back and sides” but then I kind of sweep the fringe across to one side. I get a haircut and beard trim, so it’s 0.5 into a 1 on the sides and back, blending into the length on top 👍🏻
So you've been on fin since having the HT, they do say without it you can still lose the transplanted years on. I am worried about taking fin as i already have adhd and autoimmune conditions so it's a concern that I have sides.
Been watching your videos. Great work. You're results look great brother. Really happy seeing this. Question: did you notice any difference after stopping minoxidil ?
Sorry, I must have missed this comment! I eased off the minoxidil, which is what you’re supposed to do rather than just stop abruptly. I only used it for 12 months in total, and on the crown, so it’s hard to tell if it even did anything or if the crown just looks good from the new grafts.
Hi Mate, Hair looks unreal! I’m just over 1 month through mine now! When your hair went through the shedding phase around 1 month, did you notice hairs falling out at the front with white crust around them or was it purely just hair shafts you see? I’m worried that it’s the follicle or something that has fallen out! Also if you go gym when did you return to training after your procedure?
Hi pal. From what I’ve heard/read, the follicle is secure after about 3 days and if you did dislodge one you would see blood. So I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about, but I’m not sure what the white crust is. Maybe just dry skin? I never really noticed the hairs coming out actually. Didn’t see them on my pillow or anything, it just sort of gradually happened. I wasn’t going to the gym at the time pal (mainly due to covid) but after 2 weeks you’re fine to go back.
LOVE your channel brotha. I went to Turkey as well got 3300 grafts done. I got it done August 2022. I want to say I'm still scared to take Fin. I used to use Min but it ruined my hair before the hair transplant. Right now I'm taking Biotin, Saw Palmetto and every other day I wear Low Level Last Therapy Head cap. I'm turning 32. Do you recommend Topical Fin for those scared to take oral Fin?
Fantastic results.. I was going to go this Summer.. Decided to go next summer after doing a little more research... Also are you sure nape hair is OK to use for a hair transplant....
It looks great…my front is looking good at 4 months..but the crown is taking very long. How long does the crown take roughly before you start seeing growth?
I’ve booked to go in November to get mine done. 3500 grafts, I have had receding at front and crown, was worried they won’t be able to do it all in one go but looks like they might. Do you talk about if they can do it all once you get out there?
Surgeries at Turkish clinics are performed by technicians, so it’ll be 5 or 6 different people working on you. That’s why they can do more grafts in a shorter time frame. Mine was 3500 grafts in about 7 hours.
Hey Pal! I myself went to Turkey to get a hair transplant as my hairline was receding bad. I’m almost 3 and a half months post op.. so I only starting now to get growth. Your hair transplant looks really natural from the naked eye and if you told me that you had a hair transplant I wouldn’t be able to tell it is really suitable for your age. When did you start noticing the hair growth really taking off?
Only had one round of PRP, which was the day after surgery. Still on finasteride and will continue for the foreseeable. Stopped minoxidil at 12 months. Surgery was a bit painful, yeah. The anaesthesia needle hurts and then later on it wore off and I could feel some of the implantation stage.
I don’t know much about them pal, other than that they are cheaper than Elithair. Check out a channel called Vanity Hair. That guy went there I think 👍🏻
I had tried minoxidil a couple of years earlier and saw no improvement so stopped it. I had never tried finasteride but wish I did. Well worth seeing if you get any improvement with those before punting for surgery. I’d say at least 6-12 months.
@@HairlineConfessions as someone who washes their hair every three days I feel unsure about using minxodil long term where I have to wash it at least every other day and they say it's best to apply it topically twice a day or once a day but use two lots at once, my concern even with the foam is that it will make my hair more greasy and with possible shedding too on already thin hair It will look worse than It currently is even after washing. And the expense.. Two lots of meds at £15 a month or whatever it is for a lifetime isn't ideal. I would rather use the minoxidil should term after having the transplant and with knowing my transplanted hair will always be there I might be more inclined to wash it every other day as another reason I don't wash it so much is I worry I'll lose more hair but I know it happens anyway through the day plus its time consuming as I wash my hair in the basin separate from having a shower
@@HairlineConfessions I looked into taking it in the oral form but from a quick but of researching it said taking it minoxdil orally can lead to an higher chance of side effects and hairs growing in other areas on the body, so the back etc, so that put me off and I thought I'll just try the fin 1mg a day and I see from your earlier post you now take it 5 days out of 7 where I saw another poster say you can take it every three days or once a week
Wow I didn’t know there was 3 with similar names. That’s pretty scary actually. I went to Elithair (Elithairtransplant). They created a special link for me to share in the video description so check it out if you were considering them.
Hello Mate I'm in London & planning to go to Turkey for a hairtransplant of Crown mainly & some grafts at the front seems exactly same as yours. And I see yours as successful . Congratulations.Please can you share the name of clinic where you had this & how much did it cost ? Thank you
There’s a link to the clinic in the description. They’re called Elithair and they made a special link with a discount once I told them I was logging my results. Obviously research the clinic first, but then if you were interested click on that link and give your details so you get the discount. I paid €2150 back in July 2020, so it’s probably gone up slightly. Still about €8000 cheaper than British clinics.
Hello, I just had a transplant consult and it's for 3500 grafts. They said they would be able to do it in one day. It occurred to me are they really transplanting that many? That's like 6 follicles per minute.
You have multiple people working on you at the same time. In Turkey, it’s all technicians, not a doctor (at the majority of clinics anyway). I had my front and crown done and I think at one point 3 people were working on me at the same time. That’s why it’s so much cheaper than clinics in Spain and Belgium.
@@mahadyh I’m not convinced that minoxidil did much for me anyway. I had tried it a couple of years before my hair transplant and saw no improvement. Used it for 12 months after the transplant on my crown as instructed by the clinic. Personally I think finasteride helped more.
Did you pay cash? And if so was you ok going through the airport with that amount of cash on you. Did they ask questions. Only asking as elite hair prefer being paid in cash as it works out a bit cheaper on both sides….. Really want to get it done but don’t want to go to turkey on my own….
Big update coming soon so make sure you subscribe! 👌🏻
The crowns probably the most impressive part, that doesn’t always come in strong. Great stuff

I had tried it a few years earlier but saw no difference really. I have no interest in it now, just finasteride.
