What's up guys, I just saw Shane's pictures and his procedure turned out great. I guess I'm just worried if I was to get this done, would mine turn out superb or turn out below sub par... I wish there was some sort of consistency but I understand their can't be since no 2 technician's are the same (unless Ian/Ranbir did everyone's heads which no way in hell they could manage that, so that ain't gonna happen). I can't wait to see how THFC's fixed up look will turn out. Good luck to you THFC and keep us posted.

I’m am sure HIS will sort out the original posters head and from what I know and have personally experienced, it takes a good 3-4 weeks after your final session to see the finished results.
I’ve said this many times before, seeing pictures or scrutinising videos, pausing them at 1:59 seconds and ‘seeing’ flaws etc, will NOT give you a real indication of this procedure. If you are unsure of this procedure then you have to see it in the flesh. I’m sorry but seeing 100’s of videos of pictures, where you’re looking for ‘flaws’ will in no way help what so ever.
From memory I believe this is the second case where I have seen that someone is not entirely happy with the procedure. Nedworthy was the first and his reasons for not being happy about it had nothing to do with the actual treatment itself. If you have not read his post/thread you can see it here: http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/A-True-and-Honest-Story
I had this procedure done over 2 years ago (I was a norwood 6, so no hair on top), in May 2009, and for anyone who had not seen the thread I started (with pics) prior to getting my treatment can see it here: http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/DIARY-My-experience-so-far-with-Pictures- I was thrilled with the treatment as soon as I had it done, however I was still paranoid that others would be able to tell and it was some 4-5 weeks before I was fully comfortable with losing the cap totally. Remember that for us who have been losing our hair for many years, we will have insecurities and in some cases these will not go away straight away, even after the treatment. We will see or think things which are not there.
Since having had the treatment I have met up with 5 people off this forum and EVERY single one of them have been extremely impressed with what they saw. None of them could tell I’d had anything done. I’ve met people in all different surroundings, lighting, indoors, outdoors, at night etc. All these guys have scrutinised my head from across the table to some literally having their noses touch my head and they have all been amazed with what they saw. Remember ALL of these guys were looking for it and could not see anything.
For all the people saying well the original posted pictures look bad etc. Any picture taken up close will show up imperfections that the naked eye will not see in person. Below you can see 2 pictures of my head which I took earlier on today, close up with a 8 mega pixel camera and there is one days of growth on my head (which you can see in the ‘Back of the head’ picture).
Front (top of the head): http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu344/v11nce/front.jpg
Back of the head: http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu344/v11nce/back-1.jpg
Now how do they look to you when viewing them closely on a computer? Looks like merged dots in some areas? Some dots look bigger than others? Some parts look shaded? Not too good right? Well if I saw that, I would probably think it don’t look too good either. However what you see in them enlarged pictures is not what the naked eye see’s in person. So anyone constantly asking to see more pictures, trust me, it will not help you one bit in making up your mind in regards to this treatment being for you or not. You need to see it in person, period.
I would be more than happy to meet up with anyone who is sceptical and un-decided. You have seen how ‘bad’ my close up pictures look, so let’s see if you still think the same after having seen my head in person. I am a busy person so I would prefer to arrange this in one hit as opposed to meeting different people over different times/days. I’m actually going to be in Central London this Wednesday 15th June, so late afternoon/early evening works well with me. And I’d be happy to meet up with anyone who wants to see my head (drinks are on you guys…lol) and you can see how it looks in the flesh. We could even meet up at the HIS clinic in Harley Street.
What HIS have done for me is life changing and I’m sure there are 100’s of other clients out there who feel just like me. Although lately I have been seeing a lot of negativity on this forum, when someone posts up their positive experience then they are accused of being staff of HIS just because they do not post up pictures. You have to remember that not everyone is comfortable in putting up their pictures on a public forum, which are then going to be scrutinised by other members.

Hey Vince,
Thanks for the enlightening post. Would you be willing to meet on skype or some other video chat? I am far far away and have had no opportunity to meet anyone with it done as of yet.
In my posts, I sound very sceptical. Of course I am, this is not something to take lightly and just to on a whim (made that mistake with a hair transplant).
If you or anyone else would be willing to skype chat with me, I would be really grateful.
P.S. I am booked to have it done in a few weeks. I am really excited about it. But like some others here have said. I just want to be sure someone with the experience will work on me :)

Thanks for the post Vince. Just to reiterate, Vince had his treatment done over 2 years ago, and I know that a lot of members have asked what the treatment looks like later on down the line. 2 years may not be a long time, but Vinces scalp should be able to give you some sort of indication. HIS is getting older now, so showing older case studies is going to get easier as time progresses.
Madeofscars, you mentioned in an earlier post that I am yet to answer one of your questions. Sorry, but can you remind me of the question?

Sure Damien.
I asked if anyone ever has to re-visit HISHAIR for similar reasons to the ones thfc is having to. Or is he the first ever one?
(this is apart from the ones who just want to change their hairline slightly etc)

Hi Madeofscars, unfortunately I don’t use Skype or any form of video chatting. I’ll drop you a PM with my email if you would like to speak about anything.
I can totally understand with you being sceptical about this treatment, I was also in the same boat and thought it was too good to be true. When I found this site back in early 2009 (well it was an older site then with much less content, not as many pictures as today and no videos but it still had a forum) I read every single thread on the forum multiple times (I think I would have passed an exam if anyone has asked me anything about it…lol). Back then if you clicked on a members profile you could see their email address (unless they choose not to display it). So I collated the email address of 12 people who had posted and I emailed them all, asking questions, if they would share photos etc and over the next few days I had 6 guys who took the time to reply back. A few emails went back and forth and all my questions were answered to my satisfaction. I even did a search on Facebook with these (and other members who posted on the forum) email addresses to see if they were genuine people :-)
I then arranged a consultation and as soon as I saw Ian’s head when he opened the door I knew within a fraction of a second that this was for me. At the end of the consultation I asked Ian I want to go ahead with the treatment and when could they fit me in, to which he replied, go home and think about it and give us a call. I was like, here’s me wanting to get it done ASAP and Ian is telling me to go away and think about it…lol. I told Ian I had 100% made up my mind and he then opened up the diary and I had my first session booked some 3 weeks later.
It’s the best thing I have EVER done and the confidence it restores is priceless.

Hi madeofscars
Nedworthy came back to HIS but that was for entirely different reasons. His thread can be found here, although I think you're already up to speed?
http://forum.hishairclinic.com/topic/A-True-and-Honest-Story
I havent been involved in THFC's case so it is difficult for me to comment, and also I cant share any information that THFC hasnt already shared for obvious reasons. My understanding of his particular case however was that his treatment was unfinished, and a third session was required. Additionally, we usually know before treatment commences how many sessions will be required, however from time to time it becomes apparent that an extra session is needed once treatment has started.
To answer your question as best I can, and bearing in mind I cannot refer to any particular case due to client confidentiality, I'm sure there have been clients over the past few years who have come back to our clinics because they felt the treatment they received could benefit from a further session. Considering the number of clients we treat, this is always going to happen from time to time, however it is our promise to ensure that all our clients are left with a style they are both happy and comfortable with. For more information, see our Service Guarantee:
http://www.hishairclinic.com/about-his/client-support/
MHT is not an exact science. Each individuals scalp accepts the treatment in different ways. The pigments do not always settle in the same way, different shades and colours look different on different people, the extent of pigment retention is always different, and of course peoples own preferences vary massively from one case to the next. It is only through our extensive experience that we have learnt to manage these variations and provide treatments accordingly, however there will always be a certain amount of fluctuation in the final results, regardless of which practitioner performs the treatment, hence why a second session is always necessary, sometimes followed by a third or even a fourth on some occasions.

Damien. Thanks for going out of your way to help me.
I think THFC's case is a one off case actually. Sorry for going off on one, you know how some of us ex-transplant patients can be very sceptical after being promised the world by our hair docs. Makes us so sceptical and suspicious. However, the people's stories here should speak for themselves. They are first person accounts of having MHT at HISHAIR...
THFC emailed me wit a really nice honest email. I have also been chatting to a few other people who have had this done.. I am reassured again now. I don't expect the world, but I think it will be a huge improvement.
Anyway, see you guys in London in less than 5 weeks!!!
Is it possible to get someone who has experience doing an ex-transplant case? I think I hav few little pits where the transplanted hairs have been placed. The transplant surgery I had used a CHOI implanter (a device where they load it with a follicle and inject it into the punched hole. No slit surgery, and no scalpel) The pits are tiny, but they are there and I an just concerned about it interfering with the MHT.
I would love to hear your guys thoughts at HISHAIR on this.
Cheers dude!

Hi madeofscars
No apology needed, you are quite within your rights to question, and we see enough clients who have been promised miracles in the past to understand why people can be so sceptical.
Regarding your request for a staff member with specific scar camouflage experience, your case would most likely be allocated as such by default anyway. If you want to discuss this, it is best to speak with Lucy as she organises our practitioners diaries.
We've seen every type of transplant scar a million times, so I'm sure we'll be able to accommodate your needs, whatever method was used. I must admit however that I am not personally familiar with the particular technique you describe, however I'm sure our practitioners have seen your type of scarring before.
Dont forget to post some pics. The forum has been updated to enable this now. Dont worry, if ever you want the photos removing from the forum in the future, you only have to ask.

Wow, it's taken me ages to read through this forum thread tonight!
Bit perplexed! I'm a norwood 7 and have two sessions booked in for end of July! Costing a fair whack and two return trips from Scotland.
When I look closely at pictures/videos that initially 'look good', I think I've pretty much always found 'flaws' with these; but, I do think there's a lot to be said for the whole 'naked eye' thing. I suppose, at the end of the day, it's not real hair we're getting and we have to accept that on closer inspection there may be some imperfections.
However, after saying all that I'm still unsure it's the right thing I'm doing!
THFC, your pictures don't look awful or horrific. I can only imagine how you're feeling with another two weeks to go before you can get it sorted to your liking. Chin up, and remember - short term pain for long term gain! (And all that malarky!)
:)
PS: Anyone in Scotland had this done yet! Could do with meeting someone in person!

Thanks smarty, you're a teacher right? Are you going to be open about it with colleagues and the kids if they ask?

Yeh, I'm a DHT. As it's in a primary school they're less likely to ask! More accepting of everything and anything!
I'm hoping that I'll be proud of the results so will be able to tell! Can't say I'm not worried.
I have told mates that I'm getting it done!

for what its worth...I've seen it in person...and its truly realistic...
So much so that I am looking forward to having this service.
Be confident...be ready to have a very cool look when its all said and done...
Keep us updated as your service date comes closer...and of course as the first, then second and final third session completes the process.

Yeah THFC did get it sorted. He posted up new pictures which can be seen in the thread below:

His finished hairline was one of the most natual looking I have seen on here.
