FUE • 2500 Grafts • 18mo post-op
Happy with the outcome
Decided to go with ASMED Surgical Medical Center for my hair transplant after reading a lot of reviews. Got 2500 grafts FUE. The experience was professional from consultation through procedure. Recovery was as expected — some swelling for a few days, shedding around week 3. At 18 months I'm seeing good growth and natural results. Paid $3,600 all-in and feel it was excellent value.Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the recovery room was shared with another patient. But I'd still recommend them to friends and family.
Pros
- + Good value for money
- + Professional staff
- + Natural hairline design
