Anyone who has had a FUE treatment in the last three months and is wondering if it has worked or not...............JUST BE PATIENT!!! It works, but you must be patient. I took thousands of photos and compared them day after day. Looking back, i wish i had just left it and carried on with normal life. I know it is easier said than done, as i have been through it myself, but once again be patient.
I went through times where i was convinced i had eaten something that may have affected my result or washed my hair with an incorrect product that would affect growth etc etc etc etc......... Once again, JUST BE PATIENT!! I had to wear a cap for nearly 3 months, which for someone who never wears caps, was a bit difficult. I am now at 5.5 months and think things are going well. At 6 months i am supposed to be only 50-60% of result, so any more in my opinion would be a bonus!!
Hang in there guys, i understand your pain, its not easy, JUST BE PATIENT!!!

Looks really good for 6 months, and still only half way in terms of full growth.

So true, matthewt. Your pics remind me of a Phil Collins album cover (the only one where he had some hair), No Jackets Required, his most populr era. Your best hair era is yet to come! Thanks for the advice. I'll be updating my Dr Maral review now with my 5mth update. As HairFlick says, Happy Hair Watching!

You've shown how things happen from 4.5mths on!

This review looks like a fake one. There are no pictures from the process in between. Hard to believe

VC2016, matthewt posted up some replies to comments, so that's better than some single post wonders, whose posts seem to be just to promote a place.

Dr Maral has so many recent and non recent reviews here, it's more likely that matthewt did it.

Hi VC 2016, i am thrilled to bits that you think my result is fake! I went through the whole process and can assure you that it is all genuine. I will post some in process and in between pictures.

Hah the way to credibility is a few updates with pics.
One post reviews can look dodgy. :)

Yes, the one and maybe only!
I left it longer than I was Ted to and finally did it!

Now seem to be getting a bit of length in the front that i haven't had for the last 20 years. It always seemed to grow to a certain length then stop. The hair was also really fine and whispy!

Looks excellent.

This could relaunch Phil Collins' career!

Matthewt, can you post up a pic of your head post op?
So we can see the area that received grafts and the donor area.

It is a good baseline for people to compare, especially people getting a HT with similar NW level of hair loss.

If you were a low level NW level, you will see amazing results with this number of grafts. A lot depends on the hairline and how good it looks due to density, along with your hair thickness, colour, age etc.

Done. I was NW4 and i see, looking at my Maral docs i actually had 3400 grafts, not 3600 as i had said in my initial review. My bad.

I think you lost less than me so we could see some interesting similarities and differences in our pics.

Thanks for these extra pics you've just posted!

Pleasure, will be interesting to see progression from 7 months on

My Mrs was irritated with the fact my hair was getting wispy. It's what happens with MPB where the hair gets wispy, doesn't grow much and eventually stops.

I say grow it as long as you can, so you can have fun going back to your 1980s hair styles.:D

Seems it took awhile for your HT to kick into gear, but once it did, wow- your result at 6 months is amazing.

Thanks, seems like it's always 5-6 months before it "blossoms".

My apologies, I uploaded these in the correct chronological order, but they seem to have been mixed up a bit??
User Avatar
December 19, 2016
Even though the pics uploaded in a weird order, you have added a description for each stage.

I think you will have good density based on these pics.

Matt - did he cut a strip off the back for harvesting or did he use a different method to get the donor hair? Thank You.
User Avatar
December 19, 2016
All fue, so individually extracted. No strip.
