Final Photo Update

So this is the "final result", which is actually no result. I wanted to say all good things, or at least have something good to say - but I cannot be more disappointed in the result. This was taken right after shower using a thickening shampoo 15 months(?) post. In the event of some random and unexpected surge I will take a new photo but I believe the consensus is 12 months out you get the results you will get. I should also mention I have been using rogaine.

I think if you aren't happy with your results, most clinics offer to redo it for you?

Did you contact the clinic?

Hi too bad the results from the FUE procedure isnt as good as you thought it would be. Have you been in touch with the clinic to discuss how they can resolve this or if they would do a partial or full refund?

Also I am curious to know if you remember loosing any grafts or small hair the first 2 or 4 weeks after the FUE while washing your head?

Thanks.

Not incredibly excited about the results thus far. I feel a few stubbly hairs that feel like they may grow out but looking over these pics I feel like in some ways I went backwards (although I also tried as a native English speaker to get a haircut in South America sooo maybe that contributed). Either way, I feel like maybe there are some new hairs on top but they're either miniaturizing hairs that were there in the first place, or just a different texture. As everyone recommends I will not call this a wrap until month 12-18 but feeling a bit disappointed thus far.

It seems that he went to Clinicana?

Hi
Can I ask - if you know what you know now based on these results to date - would you have had this procedure?
October 14, 2016
For me, I've kind of obligated myself not to make a final conclusion until November 6 (1 full year), 3 weeks out I am inclined to say no. It's still not anywhere near expectations. Still have to wear concealer and doesn't look too much different then when I went. I probably would not go through all the cost and such if I knew what I know now

Clinicana is a place I may consider if I do my 2nd procedure.
They've been very professional at responding to all my email questions and a prompt response too.
October 13, 2016
Thanks for replying, I have my scheduled for Oct 18 for my surgery. I hope it goes well. I read reviews about them at what a clinic and they are rated at best among others.
And lot of people have had successfully hair transplant through them.

Well I suppose it's tomorrow and is too late to answer, I am not sure how to answer that. I'm not at all impressed with the outcome 2 weeks shy of a year, the people are very nice and is in a safe place (a hospital), so that's always a plus. They were efficient, they explained everything clearly, I am going to contact them shortly and see what can be done because they have a guarantee and my results are not even slightly where I was told I'd be. However I said I'd wait until the one year mark, so in 2 weeks.

I hope things got better for you. Can you let us know?
February 2, 2017
Thanks for the well wishes. I'll take a final picture soon, I'm sorry to say things did not get better. I don't feel that there was any regrowth at all, if anything I've just progressed further down with no results.

Really not sure how to evaluate these results, I feel a lot of the hairs coming in are fine and maybe with time will thicken. It looks improved, but at the same time my head was shaved when I initially got this done. Not sure how much if at all this will improve.

The crown takes a lot longer. Up to 18 months, I've read. Have you contacted the clinic, anyway?
August 29, 2016
Dear friend, do you still recommend clinicana after your results ?
Thanks and hope to see you have fully head of hair
September 7, 2016
