FUE • 1800 Grafts • 16mo post-op
Great results, minor hiccups
Overall very pleased with my FUE at Dermatology & Hair Restoration Specialists. Dr. Ben Behnam and the team were fantastic. Got 1800 grafts and the results at 16 months are looking really good. The hairline design is natural and the density is building nicely. My only complaints are minor — the recovery instructions PDF was a bit generic. But honestly, these are small things compared to the outcome. At $14,100, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I recommend Dermatology & Hair Restoration Specialists? Yes, with the caveat that make sure to follow the aftercare instructions exactly.
Pros
- + Well-organized
- + Painless procedure
DHI • 1500 Grafts • 10mo post-op
Exceeded my expectations
Went to Dermatology & Hair Restoration Specialists after a friend recommended them. The consultation was thorough — they didn't try to oversell me on grafts I didn't need. Ended up getting 1500 grafts via DHI. The day of the procedure was long but manageable, they kept me comfortable with breaks and entertainment. 10 months later the results speak for themselves. Natural hairline, good density, minimal scarring in the donor area. Cost me $8,000 which I thought was very fair for the quality.Really happy with my choice.
Pros
- + Comfortable procedure
- + Fast recovery
Cons
- − Donor area soreness
- − Aftercare instructions could be clearer
DHI • 3500 Grafts • 12mo post-op
