I had 2 treatments. One March 2017 (3500 graphs, 12 hours 2 doctors implanting and 6 or 7 making the grafts) and one in September 2017 (2500 grafts, I think 9 hours, 2 doctors and 6 or 7 making the grafts). There was no pain. After the procedure when the numbing wears off there is some very mild pain but very manageable pain, I would rate it a 0.25 on a scale of 10. They give you some narcotics to eliminate the pain. Unfortunately I am an addict and while staring at the two containers in the 9 hour wait in the airport I had 10 pills. I had no pain and slept on the jet ride home. It took every ounce of willpower to not take the other 10 pills in the airport parking lot.
Anyhow, the hotel is included in the cost of the implants and I flew round trip for $125 Trenton to Charlotte NC.
Growing is an issue. The hair falls out about 5 weeks after the transplants. It goes dormant for a month or so then it starts to grow. My hair grows about 6 inches a year. I guess I have about 3 to 4 inch hair strands form transplants from last year. I take collagen, 1 scoop a day in warm water plus biotin and lots of other supplements. Collagen really helps. I have bone broth powder on order and will be taking a scoop of that a day too soon. Collagen helps with hair, skin and nails. I can not suggest that strong enough.
I did the front half of my head first then the back half. Next, in the late summer or fall I will do my last transplants of 1500 transplants. I need to wait to decide where to best put them. 400 will be for my brows
