I'm writing today's update from the lobby of the hair restoration clinic. Originally I was going to have this done in the states, but a relative reminded me I know people in Mexico. I reached out and had a friend do a little research for me and book and reserve the appt. This place does not do the strip method, but their hair count was about 20% higher than the place I was going to go to in the states. The facility is amazingly modern, even having robots to extract the follicles if you want. I did not opt for that. While waiting I wondered if they get any famous people here. Not a minute later two really good looking actors came in. They were both six five plus super muscular, perfect skin and teeth. They were exactly what I am not. I felt so fragile and girly next to them. I talked to the big one too, and I think he put in some extra smiles and flexes just for me.
Anyway, back to the treatments, they were very professional. The chief of the clinic drew my hairline and literally had about 20 staff watching and taking notes. Evidently a transgender person is not their usual client. They always called me Bari Jo, but did mess up pronouns a couple times. Oh well, I was still happy with their professionalism.
This does hurt Btw, but only when they give the anesthetic shots or work in an area just outside of what's numbed. 1/2 way though getting the implants I asked to use the restroom and I looked so weird with a shaved head. I did have a little trickle of red though which scared me at first, but it was mainly water. They constantly sponge you down.
After the procedure they led me to the hyperbaric chamber for my first of four healing sessions. The pain was gone literally within minutes. Plus I got to watch Netflix through the glass of the chamber.
I realize not everybody has the option to have a procedure done outside the USA, and I feel blessed. For those that do, I would advise a local guide. Very few people spoke English. My doctor did. I know people want to know hair count, 4900 and price, let's just say 1/3 of what I was quoted in the states and that was the strip method. No strip scar for this girl.
So far, very happy.
Bari Jo
