Hi All
It’s now 3 weeks since my FUE procedure and I feel that I - foolishly - should’ve done much more research before I started my HT journey.
I feel it’d be wrong of me to name the UK-based clinic I attended at this stage but through some searching on here and other forums, the general opinion of UK-clinics is low. Again - perhaps stupidly - I feel I’ve paid a premium in the thinking that the result would be better here when the consensus seems to be that somewhere like Belgium would’ve been a better choice - or at least a more reputable UK-based clinic.
I appreciate it’s very early in the process and I’m not trying to jump to conclusions - of course if it has been badly performed then there’s nothing I can do about it now - but wondered if I could get a couple of answers.
1. I was taking 10% minoxidil (from the Belgravia Centre) before my HT. The dates to start using again afterwards seem to vary, but I can’t seem to find information on where to apply it - should I apply it on the grafted area or on the existing hair that ‘frames’ the grafted hair - or both? The 10% from TBC is thick and not like Regaine Foam and so particularly hard to apply in delicate places.
2. I feel the splayed/ odd-angled growth of my grafted hair is inconsistent with a lot of photos I’ve seen of successful HT’s and worry this is due to poor alignment? I also worry about poor density!
Any advice would be much appreciated - I’ve tried not to worry until now knowing that everyone is different, that results take time, and that I seem to be healing fast in the donor area - but my anxiety is increasing.
