Had my first treatment a few days ago, am worried about the pigment colour & size of pigments. As i want to keep my head shaved with a razor and not clippers, i dont see how the pigment will reduce & fade to a shadow appearance. I remember the shade colour that was used is 30 & 34. Can anyone tell me what they had, and how much it faded?

Hi Pat, welcome to the forum
Almost every HIS client goes through the same. The pigments take a few days to settle, plus you'll have more treatments scheduled to finish off the look. Your appearance immediately after your first treatment is never representative of the final look. I'm sure other forum members will concur.
It might be worth you reading this thread

Thanks for the reassurance guys, I have been freaking out all day. Looks like my nephew has been playing with crayons over my head. I will keep the faith, 2nd treatment is next week.

It's really silly for people to get this treatment and not fully research it. Had you researched it, you would have found out/read about the same exact situation you are having.
I don't mean to be rude or shady but I just think you should do a little more research.
Madeofscars is the perfect example of what to do. He has been a member here for quite awhile, asked lots of questions, came up with tons of scenarios. And it went well with his treatment.

I did the necessary research regarding this procedure... and I liked what i saw, and those i spoke to from HIS were very informative. But i don't believe in spending silly lengths of time reading dozens of posts before committing to something. Having read a few and seen the case studies i was ready to go for it.

HiTopFade raises a good point, however everyone is different. Whilst we recommend that any treatment, MHT or otherwise, is fully researched beforehand, not everyone behaves in this way.
We have clients who literally land on our site, see our gallery then phone to book a consultation. Others, like madeofscars, spend months on our site, forum and YouTube channel before making a final decision.

I researched (tho made my decision very quickly). I was aware of what people said, HIS staff said etc, but it made no difference. I still freaked out and thought I was going to be the one who's head was a mess! So - it's nothing new Pat.

Its been 5 Days post the 2nd and final treatment, the attached pictures are with 1 days growth.<div>I am concerned as the horse shoe is clearly visible and it needs major compacting. I have tried it with a fresh zero cut and i get the opposite whereby it seems more like a military haircut on top, with zero on the sides. </div><div>As it is with 1 days growth i have been told that it looks as if im going bald rather than being bald..</div><div>I'll let you guys decide.... please see pics <div></div><div></div></div>

If I have to be honest.......
I dont like it, you can see the horseshoe clearly and the top is not done properly.
If I were you i would defenitely ask them to redo it.

Hi Pat, from what I can see you are a Norwood 7 and had a HT that you shaved out. What exactly did you ask your practitioner at HIS to do? Were you looking for a very subtle look with a very soft hairline?
To be honest, I cannot see any pigmentation treatment in the photo of the back of your head, no offence but it just looks like the back of a Norwood 7 bald head. Maybe they should have gone alot darker? I see in another post that they used shades 30 & 34 on you, but Smarty got shades 38/40/42 and seems very happy with his results.
As you only had two treatments, do you think they will correct this with a third or forth treatment like they did with Thfc?

Hi Pat thanks for sharing your pictures, I hate too say it mate but it looks extremely poor.
ve had the treatment myself and the results were amazing. You need to get this redone, in actual fact id say it looks like something His hair would of corrected after another company had done this too you.m hoping that His Hair havent tried getting to big before their ready and their results are floundering some what. t the quality of work id expect to see from yourselves.

It definitely looks like the tattoo should have been darker. What also bothers me are the too-large-seeming dots at the front hairline. Maybe they are just crusts or temporary inflammation - I can't tell.
Whatever the case, I'm sure this is fixable.

Hi Pat. I agree with the guys above. It doesn't seem great or to the quality that I have seen when visiting the Birmingham clinic a few weeks back or on Pics I have rec'd. Where did you get this done, was it Birmingham? I remember a lad a while back having a problem and HIS Sorted it out. I'd get in touch as I am sure you will be okay. All the best mate. SB

Pretty strange you have only had 2 sessions if you are a norwood 7 tho!
It's not just Pat, it's disappointing for the rest of us since we 've got higher expectations

Sorry to say Pat but this but this is the worst ive seen so far, but I would'nt panic im sure the guys at HIS can fix this, I remember THFC had a similar problem and got it fixed. But looks like you need another 2 sessions to get it sorted. Did you have this done in Birmingham?

Members who have spent time on this forum will have seen this a million times before. Everyones scalp takes to the pigments differently, and whilst it is rarely necessary to do so, we always put it right if the pigments do not settle exactly as we expect them to. THFC went through exactly the same process (which he documented very thoroughly here).
Pat, I totally understand your concerns but there really is no need to worry. Contact the clinic you had your treatment at, and they will schedule another session for you. Otherwise, feel free to email me at damien@hishairclinic.com and I'll forward it to the right person.
Given the fact that each scalp responds differently to the pigments, and also that we're treating more and more clients all the time, these occurances are inevitable, however they are also very straightforward to resolve. I appreciate that whether or not to undergo MHT is a huge decision to make, and I completely understand peoples anxieties, however we have been doing this for nearly 10 years now so we've seen it all before, and know exactly how to modify the treatment accordingly.
Apologies if this sounds a little corny, but thats the difference between coming to HIS, or trusting a company with hardly any experience, no track record, no case studies and no open forum.

Westy, every client of HIS, without exception, goes through the same experience. You will not see a true representation until you've completed all your sessions, and the pigments and your scalp have had chance to settle. This panic phase is well documented on this forum. Ask around, those who have had the treatment will know exactly what you're going through.
If you have any concerns, mention them to your practitioner. As every person is different, your practitioner is in the best possible position to lay your concerns to rest.

Hi Damien,
My concern is that in Pat's case it looks as if no work has been done at the crown. Thfc had originally poor results but I think that Pat' case is different. My question is shoudn't someone from the clinic say something before the client leaves the premises? I 'm considering it very seriously but many of us(especially those of us who had HT in the past) expect a lot from you. I think that it would be great if you could ask the practicioners why this happened, they can probably tell by the pics who the client is.
All the best
Damien

Dimi, good point well made. Agree that Pats case is slightly different from THFC's, although fundamentally they are the same in as much as both clients require a further session as their scalps did not take to the pigments as expected. We see this all the time, and it is straightforward to resolve. Pat is in good hands, and will be well looked after.
Unfortunately however, we're crossing the bounds of what we can discuss in a public forum, and what we cannot. Pat has contacted me directly, and we are working with him to resolve his concerns. It is for Pat to report back when this is concluded, if he chooses to.

this has to be the worst job ive seen and that is very rare. thfc was not this bad! i apologies but really HIS give this man a free session or fix his head for free that's just ridiculous. I feel so bad for you i hope the guys at HIS take extra care of you on your next visit please keep up us posted. Damien weve seen lots of others who worry on the forum but none had a job done like this one. Hang in there big guy were all rooting for you!
