I had searched the internet and visited places such as Ashley & Martin and looked at other methods of hair rejuvenation. I discovered during my investigations that "micrografting" seemed to be the best way to "regrow" hair and the easiest way to do it without constant treatments. After more research on the internet looking for micrografting practitioners, I found Dr Marzola.
This is me before treatment.

I really wanted to improve my hair line and stop the receding at my temples. Even though I wear a longer hair cut it still bothered me. |

These marks are where the new grafts will be planted. |
Dr Marzola makes every effort to explain what he is going to do. |

Dr Marzola prepared me for the operation by talking to me and advising me as to what he was doing. I felt very comfortable. I was very surprised to find that the anaesthetic was so effective and I didn’t even think he had started harvesting my donor hair, when in fact he had already done it! I had not felt a thing! |

I felt very comfortable and at ease during the procedure and Dr Marzola asked me to tell him if I felt any discomfort and then if needed he would administer more anaesthetic.. |

During the procedure I was able to take a break and have some lunch which was great. |
|

After the procedure I was free to go home. |
Before I left I was given a parcel with shampoo, pain killers and some sleeping tablets and instructions on how to use them. The staff told me not to drive home, to take it easy and not to do anything strenuous and to call them if I had any problems or concerns. I felt happy that I had had the procedure and was eager to go out for dinner to celebrate.
The night of the operation I needed to take some pain killers and a sleeping tablet to help me feel comfortable and I did this for the next 7 days. I also found that a glass of wine before going to bed helped ease the discomfort too. I was fortunate to have kept my haircut in a longer style as I had no problems with camouflaging my grafts and nobody noticed the difference! |

On Day 7, I returned to the Surgery to review progress with Dr Marzola. |

On day 7 I returned to see Dr Marzola so he could check on my grafts and how the donor area was healing. The scabs on my grafts which had formed after the procedure had all fallen off now which was good as the scabs felt rather odd when I was washing my hair and I had to be very gentle with them. |

According to Dr Marzola all was going to plan and he reassured me that I would not see anything for the next 3 months while the grafts settled and to expect a decent amount of growth to be present after 9 months. | |
