Yes it should give you an idea of what it will look like as you can judge the angles and general placement along with the hairs themselves. It all has to match up and have a flow to it that matches the surrounding area.
And yes you are kind of getting an idea of what it might look like 1 year from now at that very short length. So it it all looks good now including the skin itself it sounds positive.

Stay away from doctors who perform mega sessions, have posts deleted, attack posters, sue patients & forum owners, use power drills or robots. I recommend fue with hand punches in the .70-.85 range. I consulted with dozens of clinics over the years and there was a recurring theme regarding FUE among some employees of those other clinics. I was told Bisanga was the man my research told me the same and my experience validated my own research.
