Is it worth giving up minoxidil before a hair transplant to ensure all new hair isn’t minoxidil-dependent? I only want to have a transplant once in my life, I’d like to avoid going back in a few years once my min-dependent hair has faded. Hair grown with minoxidil requires that you stay on it. I tell […]

A 30-year-old man contacted me for surgery. As usual, I had him purchase a hand microscope and a micrometer. We went on Zoom, where he took control of his hand microscope. First, we used the micrometer. He measured his donor hairs (about 20 of them), and they ranged from 30 microns to 91 microns, averaging […]
Most failed hair transplants are technically created by a team of people working on you without a good quality control process in place. That reflects the surgeon, who is Master of the Ship and responsible for what his team should be doing. I have found many surgeons who don’t understand the nuances of the hair […]
The new law in Turkay is that if you perform hair transplantation and are not a licensed doctor (plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or medical esthetic certified doctor (you will be sentenced to 1-3 years of imprisonment, and all health institutions that provide space to them or rent operating rooms to them will pay a penalty of […]
You are heading to a Full Norwood Class 7 pattern of balding and, therefore, must plan accordingly because you, I am sure, are expecting to live a long time and will always want to look normal and hairy. I have transplanted many men like you, but first, I want to determine your donor supply and […]
I’m tensed. So, please help me out . I had a HT 5 months back. I have been on finasteride 1 mg even before HT(for 8 months). Also, started minoxidil after 3 months of HT. I’m noticing hairball when it should have been stopped. My growth has been less. I still can see the gap […]
Can you please expand on what you mean by saying hair transplants accelerate balding, especially in younger men? Thank you Younger men often don’t see their final pattern, but it is often there if they look through a hand microscope and see a lot of miniaturization present. A hair transplant causes many of these miniaturized […]
Hi Dr. Wrassman, I had a quick question regarding microneedling. Can it cause a hair transplant to have a lower chance of success? Microneedling has no impact on having a hair transplant or the success of the hair transplant. The needles with microneedling go only through the epidermis and not deep enough to negatively impact […]
A hair transplant is a significant decision that should not be taken lightly. Most importantly, you must realize that hair loss is a progressive process, so getting a hair transplant may not solve your hair loss problem down the road. When considering a hair transplant, you must know (1) the worst-case badling pattern that you […]
I’m 9 weeks into my hair transplant journey. Resumed going to the gym at the 8 week mark. I’ve noticed my donor area start to get itchy. I sweat profusely while working out. My heart rate during a HIIT session can also climb to ~200bpm. Should I be worried that this will negatively impact my […]

There are some simple flags that I advise my readers to watch out for. Using salesmen to meet with patients should indicate that the doctor has too much financial focus in his practice. I would stay away from that doctor. If you don’t bond with the doctor or if you feel that he doesn’t focus […]
Is it necessary to discontinue oral minoxidil for a period of time after hair transplant. Someone said I should stop oral fin for 15 days and oral Minox for 3 months after procedure but I don’t think that’s right? Can you clarify please? Thank you Doctor. I generally tell my patients to take minoxidil until […]
Why not get a hair transplant for the front hairline (with a reputable surgeon ofc), leaving the crown area to go bald naturally but use a hair-system to cover that. I figure that combo would be less noticable than a whole hair-system. In theory, this works. I have done a few of these and found […]
