In an article just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Internal Medicine edition by Dr. Blayne Well et.al. , the impact of finasteride on patients with known depression were studied. Of that population, 272 patients out of 100,000 have a tendency for depression. Could it be that these men, once identified should not […]

This isn’t a hair transplant related post, but it is a trip down memory lane for me. Allow me to indulge myself… I was recently talking with a friend, and I was asked to think back on a case where I had a patient that I simply did not like. While I do get along […]
Yesterday, I received some sad news when I learned about the passing of one of our hair transplant patients just 5 months after his procedure. He had complained to his local doctor about chest pain and was told that it just was indigestion. This patient complained a number of times about the chest pain to […]
I passed your question to Merck and I just got an answer. Essentially, the only thing that was studied was the average dose that is effective and it was not related to a person’s weight. Body size was not studied.
Part of what is important about being a doctor is the concept of mutual respect. The person who wrote the email to me on this blog, is analytical and clearly fully aware of the subject material. Good communication produces respect so a doctor should spend an appropriate amount of time and focused attention to address […]
I’m going to rant for a moment, even though I know I’m running the risk of repeating myself. I’m disheartened by the amount of emails I get from people that are upset about the “bargain” hair transplant they got at various clinics around the globe. Of course, we realize that usually it’s the negative results […]
I just saw a person that had a hair transplant by a man claiming to be a doctor (who actually wasn’t). This fake doc opened up a practice for doing hair transplants, and I decided to write a brief note here to hopefully serve as an important reminder about verifying your doctor’s credentials. So what […]

After the spray is activated, the patient feels the moisture on the scalp, even with long hair. Six months studied indicated that this does were equivalent to 1mg finasteride orally. This solution reportedly drops DHT […]
This was a complication arising out of a hair transplant performed by unskilled technicians in Turkey. The patient most likely was a smoker. This complication is called ‘Necrosis’ which means in this situation, all of the skin in the area that is now an open crater has died. Fortunately, he either sloughed off the dead […]
https://ventsmagazine.com/2021/02/24/man-dies-a-day-after-his-hair-transplant/ I remember a 33 year old marathon runner that dropped dead at the peak of his health. Nobody knows why it happened. One can suspect that his heart had an ectopic beat that came in a particular part of the cardiac cycle and induced Ventricular Fibrillation (no heart beat). I knew a 40 year […]

An FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) is a surgical procedure and as such it should always be looked at it that way. Fortunately, when I initially described and published this technique in 2002, I called it a ‘minimally invasive hair transplant’ because it did not take on the risks of the then standard Strip Surgery (FUT) […]
If the woman actually doing the FUE in this video is not a DOCTOR, then the surgeon and his organization has broken the law in all States in the US and in most European and South American countries. I am not saying that this is the case here, but I am surprised to see the […]
