   I thought I should post my results as there are not many pics of NW7 guys on here. I had high expectations of the treatment and now that the initial novelty of having ‘hair’ has worn off and the pigments have settled in I have to be completely honest with myself and say that I am disappointed with the results so far. From a distance it looks great and most people I have come into contact with have been completely fooled but if you look any closer at my head the blend with my real hair is not as good as I was expecting, A lot of the MHT dots are too large and less dense than my real hair, giving quite a dotty look. At the back of my head some of the dots are very prominent and not at all in keeping with the dots from my real hair.

   As others have said, the treatment experience was great and all of the people working there are top people and made me feel very comfortable. The pain was nothing to fear at all and I wouldn’t even describe it as pain just discomfort. But as nice as it is to have a good experience during treatment it is the results which are most important to me as that is what I am going to be carrying around on my head for the rest of my life, so I am going back to the clinic this weekend to address this. I don’t regret having the treatment done as it is a huge improvement on having a bald head, I just hope that I will end up with the results I was expecting.

   Looks brilliant to me mate! If nobody has noticed I would not worry, It truly does look great to me. I'm guessing like most of us on here you always looked at your hair thin  under constant scrutiny, so this is only natural, I'm guessing you will love it soon enough. I do worry I won't be happy with my results as I always seem to look for the flaws in most things especially with hair!

   
   

   I'm sure they will sort out what you are not happy with. I can't wait to get mine done.

   All the best mate.

   First post on this forum where I have heard that someone is not entirely happy with the procedure. Would be interesting to see how they rectify it.

   Keep us all posted on what the outcome is and if you end up having more treatment done, then look forward to seeing the updated pics.

    Wow, first off, I want to thank you THFC for sharing pictures. Was thinking that no one was ever going to post any pictures on here, haha...  Second, Will and JB must be on something or work for HIS cause it don't look good at all... Not sure what pictures you guys are looking at but I'd be pissed off if that was my dome... I'm sorry THFC it turned out like this and hope that they fix it asap and make it look right.  It totally looks f'd up (sorry about that but had to be honest...) and that's what I'm sincerely afraid of happening to me if I go forward with this.  It's so clear that the density doesn't match you real hair.  Keep your head up THFC and keep us posted with the results. 

    Btw, anyone know if someone was to get this lasered off, if it would hurt like hell and leave burned scar marks like tattoos on a body?  I'm assuming the answer is 'no' since the ink doesn't go as deep as the tattoos on a person's body right?

    This is exactly why I am always asking clients to post their pictures so we can see if it's ok and not the professional pictures that HIS put's on the net.

    Hi mate, as some one else posted, probally the first time Ive came across anyone unhappy with the results.  Is this the first treatment? if so, dont forget that its normally 2-3 treatments before you get your final results.

    Who did this one out of interest?

    Hi All

    Saw this thread and dropped in to share my thoughts.

    Firstly to THFC - Thank you for posting your photos on the forum. We are working on a way for members to easily share their photos on here without the need for your workaround, so hopefully that will encourage more members to share not only their stories, but also their photos as well.

    If you are in any way dissatisfied with your treatment, we will do all we can to resolve this for you. It is very rare for a client to be dissatisfied I must admit, but believe me it is nothing to worry about. Our practitioners will do what they can to help.

    Short and JT602 - appreciate your comments as always, however please show a little more sensitivity when posting. These are real people with real emotions, so a little tact would go a long way.

    Short - so you're aware, the photos we put in our gallery and case studies section are not 'professional' shots. They are taken on a decent (but fairly standard) digital camera by our own staff who have no real photography experience. We certainly do not gloss up our photos with fancy lighting or effects.

    MScott, billbobagins and Andy08 - Whilst you free to express your view regarding our procedure and our team, we do not allow the naming of individual practitioners on our forum. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were in their position.

    I am sorry if my post appears to be negative in tone. It is very easy to jump on the bandwagon and forget the hundreds (or possibly thousands) of clients we've treated up to now, and the large number of clients we help every single day who are thrilled with the results of their treatment.

    When we treat the number of clients that we do, the odd occasion when a client is dissatisfied is not a possibility, it is an absolute inevitability. Think about it, it will happen every now and then. The important thing is that we do what we can to resolve this for THFC, so he can feel happy and comfortable with his new style.

    The pictures HIS puts on the net are not really close ups. And if they are the sharpness always is low so you can't really detect everything. Look at the pictures and you will see what i mean.

    Just noticed JT602's comment above regarding Will and JB. Trust me, they are not HIS employees. JB has been chasing us for months to open a clinic in New York, and I believe Will was trying to meet up with other members in London following his own consultation.

    Did you meet anyone in the end Will?

    Hi short

    It is really difficult to get the shots you want without artificially enhancing the photos. On a regular camera, the closer in you zoom, the more blurry the pictures appear. As they are being shown online, we also have to consider the file size. We try to strike the best balance, and in the main people are happy with our photos.

    The closest zoomed shots we have can be found on the following pages

    Fair comment I think. Seeing how many people get butchered by transplant surgeons or ripped off by wig companies or take drugs for years that dont work. I'd say the guys at his care more than most.

    But why are all the pictures of clients who put their pictures on the net more clear than the one of HIS?

    Sorry short, have to agree with simon-d. We've not had any complaints from other people about our photos that I'm aware of.

    thfc..

    Yes, there are some dots in there that are much bigger than others. Can you private message me as to who did this and what location? I am due to go to London in a few weeks time. After seeing this, I am doubting the quality control of this. Damien, I am sure you have something to say here, but it's just the way I feel. I have seen a couple of slightly under-par examples now and am wondering if you guys are going more for quantity of clients rather than quality. I am worried now! How can I be sure the person working on my head is a veteran at this technique and not a newbe?

    From what I hear you are getting more and more treatment rooms and workers - they all have to start somewhere - I don't want that place to be on my head thanks very much! Especially when I have been quoted OVER the maximum price and I am not even completely bald AND already had transplants (which saves on 4000 dots at least)

    Sorry.. Feeling a bit negative suddenly.

    P.S. - maximum price as on your brochure - including scar. I didn't see the brochure until after my phone consult (they had pictures) and feel a bit put out now!

    Hi madeofscars

    I cant comment on pricing. The price you are quoted depends on many factors, and as I've not dealt with your case personally, I cant really contribute anything worthwhile. Anything regarding pricing needs to be referred back to HQ, so please feel free to contact them.

    Regarding quality control, you already know what I'm going to say. I will point out again however, with treating so many clients over an extended period of time, the chances of not ever having a client who isnt totally 100% satisfied is virtually nil.

    I feel this is being blown somewhat out of proportion. THFC is not saying he regrets having his treatment. He is saying that upon reflection, he's not entirely happy with the finish, an issue that we will do our best to resolve.

    I agree with you (made of scars).I would not want a newbie who was just trained to work on my head,Especially since I have a transplant scar in both the donor site and reciepient site and I know ink takes differently to scarred tissue so I need someone who has experiance with that.I know Ian and ranbir can't do everyone treatment but to be honest I would only want those 2 doing my treatment since they are the 2 experts.
