Mine was very much the same as above. It was absolutely fascinating to watch them fiddle around with the removed hair strip, freeing up each individual hair follicles in a tray of water until they looked like little tadpoles floating around in there. We got a lunch choice from the deli downstairs, which was pretty decent (the office was in Century City), and the thing took all day, maybe 9 hours, as they harvested about 3000 hairs and filled in my hairline further than I had expected. They just had movies of my choice running on a big screen all during the procedure, so it was a totally chill day.
My hair looks pretty much like the 5 month photos we've looked at, and I'm only 4 months in now, so it bodes really well for me. I would highly recommend my doctor (Dr. Mark Dauer) if you're in the Los Angeles area. He's very sweet and totally cool, and the staff is fun and attentive.
