6 Month Update

WORTH IT$2,350
Sorry for skipping the 5 month, I've been a bit busy.
So far, so good! The left side is still not as thick as the right, but as you can tell from the pictures, once I blow dry and style my hair, it's not noticeable. I still use some hair fibers on the crown, though my barber tells me that's it filling in pretty good and he sees quite a difference from before. As with all of you before me, I'm happy with the results. In a perfect world, I would've had my hairline lowered a bit, but all in all, I'm glad I took the trip to see Dr. Maral.

Looking really good so far
It's coming along really well, since the hairs are getting thicker by the look of these pics.
Yes, sir! I’m pretty excited about it, thus far!
Crown pics please

Great progress! Money well spent.

Any update?

4 Month Update

Coming right along. Left side is still not coming in as good as the right but I do see hairs sprouting from the scalp and I know to be patient. I'm ditching the hat and I may go back to using Viviscal or Toppik hair fibers until it starts filling in more. I'm still taking the biotin and also bought some more of the shampoo that Dr Maral gives you - Sebamed. Found it on Amazon. Also using Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost and Lift. I used this before and it always gave me good volume.
What are you guys using?

Hi and Thank you for all the great points brought forward in your profile. I would like to know how to contact the doctor to schedule for a procedure? Thanks Mark
You can email them at info@maralhairklinik.com
I use Nizoral shampoo on M, W, F. Th other days I use PURA D'OR organic Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo (Gold Label). Also, I like PURA D'OR Conditioner, which is awesome. It doesn't take much and they last close to a year.
Thanks, I will look into those.
Hi , I've started using Avalon organic thickening shampoo , it contains Biotin , saw palmetto and vitamin E , look it up !
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
It’s looking great at 4 months mate!
Thanks!
Yes, it's getting there. It will now get better looking at the front as the hairs get thicker and as it all matures and more comes through. You are now on the great results period where you'll see a difference each week, for a couple of months!
That’s exactly how it’s been. I’ll be posting a five month update next week. Thanks for your input!

3 Month Update

The implanted hairs are starting to sprout in front. One side is coming in moreso than the other. I emailed Dr. Maral a couple of days ago and he told me that both sides may develop differently but the final result will be the same.
I'm not taking anything other than 10,000 mg's of Biotin. I still have some acne but from what others have written, I guess that's pretty normal.
All in all, I'm happy with the progress so far.
What do you guys think?

looks good , yea i know takes time to grow :(
Thanks. I see that yours is coming around too. We'll get there.
I am not sure if Biotin really helps but I've also taken it, but one pill every 2 days and haven't had any acnee. By the look of your hair transplant I think it should look really good by the 6th or 7th month.
Thanks for that. Yours looks fantastic, so far! I don't think I saw any before pics on your review.
Looks like you're right on schedule shampube !! 3 months is still early. I'm about the same as you and I'm starting to let mine grow now. I had been trimming the recip area with scissors up until 2 weeks ago. I've also been eating biotin gummies like they were candy. I do believe they help hair grow longer faster. 4000 follicles were planted there so you've got 8000 plus hairs waking up in the next while. Then another couple of months until they mature. It's all good from here on buddy !! Say goodbye to the hat !
Yes, the hats are getting stored in the closet here pretty soon. And I've seen your review and agree that you should let it grow out. I must've been there a few days after you.
Looking good buddy ! from all the other reviews ive been reading your progress looks right on point... ill post mine soon haha, finally typed it up yesterday and got my pre / post op pics from dr maral.
Yes, brother, I'm anxious to see your review! You on Facebook or Instagram? Send me your info
Nice
