Is Armani as good as HM?

[LookingGood!]

ive met dr armani patients in person and im getting a procedure done by him on may first


Anyways hes gonna be packing the crap out of my hair with grafts and I will have thicker more beautiful fuller hair then ive ever had in my life (including when I was a teen)


Yes he can work "magic" on the right person. Im 26 and have a lot of doner area so he can thicken my hair significantly

Anyways im going to be getting 3000 grafts using strip

Well good luck to you and I hope it works out well.

thanks but in his contracts it does state that hair will not be as thick as it was prior to when my hair loss started. But the thing is im getting 3000 grafts dont I have NOT LOST 3000 graft worth of hair during the time of my hair loss ive probably lost more along the lines of 1500-2000 grafts

I have increased density & maintained for 3 years with xandrox Plus proscar plus minoxidil so adding 3000 grafts to my current hair would give me WAY MORE hair then i had as a teen, so thats why i say this but to most of you I guess specially advanced cases of hair loss hair will NOT be as thick as when u were a teen

i find it hard to believe that you've lost only 1500-2000 grafts worth of hair. that's only like 4200 hairs. If you had 100000 hairs on your head, you're saying that you've only lost 4% of your hair? I've probably lost 10 percent of mine and still have a lot left.

I was born with extremly thin hair I NEVER had nice thick hair and even when i was like 10 years old my hair line was WAY back it was never forward its from my mothers genes


even when i was like 14 or 15 i could NEVER spike my hair up or cut my hair to short because my hairline went to far back would make it look like i had a HUGE forhead


ALso remember for the past 3 years i have been SATURATING my hair with xandrox 15% plus proscar 2 extremly powerful hair loss treatments

Ive probably lost about 5% of my hair but i lost it in the WORST spot where my hair was already way back (temple forhead area)

Not really, just afirming his healthy cynacisim.(sp)

actually Mahair, I once considered ARMANI and would still go to him b/c of his skill but it would be mostly on my terms.

You sound different, your not bitter and cold anymore.....what happened?

Word on the streets is that Mahair thinks your posts are sexy and he wants to start an internet relationship with you.

How much would you guys play for FUE. Armani doesnt charge 6-7 dollars per graft more like 15-17 per graft. What you guys know about a FUE and strip combination.

I would never get a strip surgery done. I can't stand the idea of having a big smile on the back of my head. I think I will get small FUE sessions to chase my hairline as it recedes despite the cost. I might use Armani for the hairline and then cheaper docs afterwards.

so how much does armani's procedures go up to? i know it depends on amount of work but can some one give me a high and low figure because who knows where ill be in 7 years thanks.

I think FUE is around 12.50/graft. Not sure how much strip is but it probably about half the price of FUE.

Judging by your pictures, I think you have lost far more than 10% of your hair, probably closer to 60 percent. You can lose 50% before even realizing it is thinning.

you think i've lost 60% of my hair? you're totally nuts. i may have lost half my density in SOME areas where I can see thinning but that's different than saying I've lost half my hair

you may be new to hair loss or hair transplants but when people say you can lose 50% before it's noticeable, they're saying that thinning is noticeable when the hair is 50% miniaturized, not when 50% is gone.

i was saying that i've lost 10% of my TOTAL Hairs on my head.

 

[cateyes81]

60% is a lot of hair :freaked: lets see ur hair pics? I didnt think u showed ur receeding hairline at all. All I remember is seeing your hair while u looked down so you cant tell how much u lost how much ug ained etc..

I was talking about the areas visible in your picture (but my statement probably goes for everywhere excluding the permanent region). I was talking about density and given your type of hairloss it is very likely that you have lost a lot of density in all areas exepting the donor area. When I said gone, I was referring to miniaturized which for all practical purposes means it is gone. Of course that is unless you intend to go around handing people microscopes to prove you are not balding.

Also, I think it is best for difuse thinner to keep their hair short as it greatly conceals the hairloss.

I am not trying to be antagonistic, just honeest and helpful.

Best of luck.

Well it depends on how much you started out with. The second photo looks quite good, but in the first you can see that the hair is see-through despite poor lighting which indicates to me that indeed quite a bit of density has been lost. I would recommend getting your hair mapped out for miniaturization and then see what a Doctor says. I of course am just throwing out guesses based on the pics. Some people always have see-through hair. Looking at the miniaturized hairs is really the key.

Wow Jayman! It looks really good. You responded well to conservative treatment. It's definitely a success story. Do you think you need 3000 grafts now?? LOL

 

[Guest]

maybe 1500. it looks shitty when it's wet.

Jayman and Optimist,

Read my last post on the "diffused transplant" thread. You can track and document the miniturization effects.
