Yes, there are between 2-4 procedures over a time span of a few weeks (you work that schedule with us). A full head SMP takes between 20-30 hours and we like to see some spacing between the procedures so that if it is going to fade, we can adjust for the fading on the subsequent […]

Each case is different, so you will need a diagnosis first to see if you are balding. Some young men get freaked out about a mature hairline (which is not balding), so it’s very important that you get a diagnosis before you can plan for surgery to address any cosmetic issues to the frontal hairline. […]
We received some Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) questions: 1. The photos on the SMP website show most people shaved, because that is what makes the scar blend in with the stubble of hair and the flat pigment of SMP underneath your skin. Keep in mind, if you get SMP for a scar, it is not hair […]
When there are small touch-ups to a procedure we did originally, we often reduce the minimum fee requirement. In your case, we would be doing work created by another doctor, so the reduced fees generally do not apply. That being said, sometimes we will reduce the fee if the work is small, even on someone […]
It is impossible for me to tell you about your hair loss and treatment plans from a simple blog posting. You seem to know about the importance of a Master Plan and miniaturization mapping and with any transplant work that you are considering, anticipating the future direction of the hair loss is critical to balance […]
Can you email me pictures of your hairline and forehead with your eyebrows lifted high? Generally the youthful hairline touches the highest crease of the wrinkled brow. The mature hairline usually goes up by about 1/2 – 2/3rd of an inch in Caucasian males. Asians have slightly different maturing patterns, particularly with regard to the […]
The problem with straight lines is that they are too orderly, like Count Dracula’s appearance in the movies of the 1930’s. They accentuate a hairline when the hairline should be a zone of transition from a bald forehead to a thick head of hair. I fix these types of hairlines all of the time. Depending […]
This is very simple thing to do to remind yourself every time you try to touch your face
Well, this is not an uncommon question for many people who wake up one day and look in the mirror and see what they never noticed before. Usually, it is never this bad, of course (please excuse the patient but I got him up too early to do up his hair). Hair loss in Monkeys […]
“The waiting is the hardest part.” – Tom Petty and… “The waiting is the hardest part.” – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers If my chronicle of hair had a theme song, that 1985 hit would be it. But let’s go back in time and set the stage. When I first met Dr. Rassman, I had […]
Probably not, but we don’t know. Dutasteride can also have fertility issues in the men who take this drug, but the proof is not available at this time. This is probably one of the many reasons that dutasteride is not approved for the treatment of hair loss by the FDA.
I guess it depends on how much and how hard you are pulling on your hair. Touching your hair shouldn’t be an issue. If you have an issue where you cannot get yourself to stop touching your hair, it may be some form of an obsessive compulsive act and you should follow up with a […]
Wearing tight caps or having a tight scalp does not speed up or cause male pattern baldness. This is more of an old wives’ tale or urban legend. The only exception is that if you wear your cap so tight that it causes traction hair loss around where the cap is touching your scalp.
Are you asking if not washing yourself for 2 weeks is normal? I’d have to say no. The hair loss you have seen is probably just shed hair (about 100 per day is normal or 1400 per 2 week period) and these are from the normal hair cycling which were trapped amongst other hairs. Hairs […]
I personally doubt there are issues with Propecia if women simply touch it. It is not about the absorption issues, but rather it is medical-legal issues. As you can imagine in our litigious society the field day lawyers would have if a woman who touched Propecia claims her baby was affected. Finasteride has not been […]
