This is a good question. The main differences in&nbsp;my practice between SmartGraft and regular FUE are that SmartGraft is a closed system, so grafts are excised and stored directly in a storage device without having to be manually removed from the excision site. This means the grafts are not exposed to potential additional trauma. Furthermore, I have found that with the smart graft I can reduce the depth of my incision with the punch this means less tissue trauma and faster healing of the donor area. These main advantages mean that with the SmartGraft I am able to potentially&nbsp;achieve better results with faster recovery as compared with regular FUE.&nbsp;

How is SmartGraft different from regular FUE?

Given the stage your at after hair transplant i.e. 6 weeks there is no issue with using oil. Both organ and coconut oil are fine to use. In fact a lot of my clients at this stage prefer to use oil in order to reduce the itch and dryness that may occur. It helps sooth the scalp. All the best.&nbsp;

Hi, I had my hair Transplant 1 months and 2 weeks ago, last week I started mixing Argan oil and coconut oil leaving it for an hour before washing it, today I contacted the Clinic I done my hair Transplant they told me do not use any oil yet, I’m just wondering because I saw people using oils in YouTube using oil 3 to 4 weeks after hair Transplant. I just don’t understand is it harmful to use oils?

Is it harmful to use oil after 1 months and 1 week after hair transplant?

Hair Transplant

First of all before embarking on any treatment for scarring in this scenario it is important that the underlying cause i.e. the&nbsp;folliculitis&nbsp;is treated fully and is dormant. In relation to scarring in the nape&nbsp;of the neck I would not always&nbsp;advise placing FUE grafts to camouflage the area, a better option may be&nbsp;scalp micropigmentation. Ultimately the best treatment options are dependent on what exactly you would like to achieve and as always I would advise seeking a consult with a specialist local to you.&nbsp;

FUE Hair Transplant

My advice would be not to jump to any conclusions until you are around 18 months post hair transplant. Until this point the hair growth&nbsp;can be dynamic following a hair transplant (although after 12 months in my experience things&nbsp;tend to be stable). Various factors may be playing a part for example your use of finasteride and the topical minoxidil. Also, there may be other environmental factors that cause&nbsp;an issue,&nbsp;such as stress. The early growth you noticed at 5 months may have coincided with the commencement of finasteride at the time of your&nbsp;hair transplant (as many clients tend to start this medication at the same time as the procedure). I would not be too concerned at this point but would certainly&nbsp;recommend following up with you hair restoration surgeon. All the best.&nbsp;

After 5 months fue surgery, i had a pretty good growth and i was really satisfied. But after sometime, instead of getting more density, i found that i was losing some and going backwards. now at the eight months mark, i feel i have lesser density than i had at 5 months. Is it because of minoxidil and finasteride and other products to lower dht that i use resulting in erratic growth phase of my fue transplanted hair? or is it something serious i should be concerned about? thanks

Are there different growth patterns after FUE transplant?

This is a completely normal and physiological phase to be expected after a hair transplant. In my experience I have found that post hair transplant clients shed to different extents and also at slightly differing times. Most of the shedding however tends to be within&nbsp;the first 3 months. All the best with your hair restoration journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It has been nearly 7 weeks I had a hair transplant and still some of the transplanted hair has Not falling off is that normal to have some falling off &amp; some Not? Any answer would be appreciated

Almost 7 weeks after hair transplant, some transplanted hair has fallen, some has not. Is this normal? (Photo)

After a long time deliberating, I decided to go ahead with hair transplant surgery so started my research on who would be the best doctor. 
Very quickly I found Dr Arshad and his team at The Hair Dr in Leeds. From our initial questions and queries they were so accommodating and extremely thorough and knowledgable in all the options available to me. 
After exploring all the options available to me I opted for the FUE surgery with an estimated 2500 grafts and an appointment was quickly arranged. 
On arrival at the surgery I was met by Adam who was absolutely amazing. He gave me a full run down on the day which put me at ease and was on hand all day should I needed anything. The surgery was so modern, clean and tidy and being the only patient was just lovely. 
Dr Arshad was just great. He sat for a long time explaining every little detail of the surgery, giving his advice on the FUE transplant and generally putting me at total ease with the whole procedure. 
The whole day went so smoothly, Dr Arshad was amazing along with all his staff and I can’t wait to see the full results. 
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Arshad and his team at The Hair Dr should you be looking for a hair transplant.

FUE surgery with an estimated 2500 grafts

Dr Arshad and his team deserve to be recognised as one of the leaders in their field - both in the UK and overseas. 
 
My experience with them has been world-class as I cannot fault them on the surgery or the aftercare. 
 
In my experience in working with healthcare providers; such professionalism at this time is hard to find and it's truly refreshing to see what Dr Arshad and his team has been able to build. 
 
To those looking looking for a hair transplant in the UK and abroad... look no further.

World class - cannot fault them on the surgery or the aftercare

I had my procedure three weeks ago now but started my journey approximately eight months ago when I first enquired. From the moment I first got in touch the team have been fantastic, put me at ease with no obligations and were really informative and transparent. 
On the day of my procedure once again the team put me right at ease and although it was a long day I was looked after superbly, I was comfortable and everything was completely pain free. 
Aftercare has been really straight forward and the team are on hand 24/7 to answer any questions I have via their WhatsApp. 
All in all I have no complaints and would highly recommend the Hair Dr.

I had my treatment with Dr Arshad on the 28th February and I am so pleased with everything so far. On the day of treatment Dr Arshad was great, so knowledgeable and professional and really kept me calm throughout - he couldn't have done more to make me comfortable. I did lots of research before deciding where to go for my procedure and I'm so glad I found Dr Arshad and The Hair Dr. I am so pleased with how well and fast everything is healing already and I can't wait to see my final results. Thank you so much Dr Arshad!

Pleased with how well and fast everything is healing

Just had my review with Dr Arshad at 10 months post surgery and my hair is doing so well. 
Great coverage now, it’s lovely and thick . The crown still has a few months to really thicken out but it's totally on track. My hairline is so natural, I love it. I honestly can’t thank you and the dedicated team enough. Success!

Great progress - 10 months post-op and my hair is doing so well

I can’t praise and thank Dr Arshad and his wonderful team enough. I never thought I say this again but my hair is amazing.
I’m now at the 8 month stage and my hair is back. I have my hairline back and I still have a long way to go, so it’s only going to get better and better. Thicker and thicker! I’m sure by 12 months it will be amazing.
From start to finish I was treated with complete respect and professionalism. This is clearly an art for these guys and they practice and execute their craft through experience and complete precision day in day out year after year. I was in safe hands with Dr Arshad and his team, they knew exactly what to do.
No one can tell I’ve had any work done! My hairline is blended perfectly, it’s awesome. I keep expecting to wake up at any moment, it’s a dream come true.
Thanks again to the amazing team at The Hair Dr, this is without doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made, you have changed my life. I can’t wait for each month to finish so I can review and see how my hair has changed and become even thicker.
Folks if you’re reading this and you want your hair back, but worried about taking the step, don’t go anywhere else, this is the place. Just go for it!
I’ve shown here a 2 week stage and recent 8 month stage. My hair is frizzy because this needs a few cycles of growth before it settles down. I’ve taken the shots with a lot of natural light so it’s more extreme than it looks to the naked eye. The scalp you can see on my crown will continue to cover up.

No one can tell I’ve had any work done! My hairline is blended perfectly

I can't thank Dr Arshad and the team at The Hair Dr enough. I'm 9 months in and buzzing with my results - hate to sound cringe but it has changed my life. Went into this a bit sceptical being honest but I can't say how happy I am that I made the decision to do my procedure with Dr Arshad. I'm happy to be a reference or answer questions to anyone looking as I know how much of a minefield the research process can be before making your decision.&nbsp;Thanks again everyone at The Hair Dr.

Top class experience - I can't say how happy I am

First class service from start to finish. From initial advice and care to a great end result. Dr Arshad gave me great confidence and made me feel relaxed. Had multiple procedures and would highly recommend.

Great experience would highly recommend - Dr. Arshad gave me great confidence

I had carried out a lot of research prior to my procedure, especially into the doctors expertise and experience of each clinic I was considering. Dr. Arshad stood out as by far the most qualified and experienced in every aspect. 8 months on I could not be more happy with the results and aftercare.

Best in the business - I could not be more happy with the results and aftercare

Dr. Arshad and the excellent hair dr team have been brilliant with me. I came all the way from Dorset and they were so welcoming and made me feel at ease. I am thrilled with my results (1yr later) and the aftercare has been excellent. Thank you guys and especially the doc - top man!
