Dr Rassman, I was thinking of going in for an evaluation for a ht. I live in new england and because of my job i would not be able to travel beyond the northeast.
I’ve heard good things regarding Dr. Robert leonard. Do you have any recommendations for him or anyone else in New England.? best regard
Dr. Bernstein is in New York, and although I realize that’s not New England, he is closer to you than I am… plus, I know his work well and I trust his skills. He was a part of New Hair Institute for many years and now has his own practice.
Dr. Leonard also has long standing credentials in the field of hair restoration.
Sorry to hear about losing your job and the stress that goes with it. There’s not much I can tell you about your hair loss though, because there’s not enough info available to me to give much help. It’s almost like calling an auto mechanic and saying, “My car is having problems. How much would it cost to fix it?”
Austrian authorities say they have destroyed 22,324 fake medications seized by customs officials over the past few months.
Phytocyane’s main ingredient appears to be grapeseed extract, which is presently being pushed for a variety of medical problems. In my opinion, you are wasting your money and hopes on a product that cannot deliver. It is in a nice packaging and they have a nice website to look credible, but in the end it is just an expensive lotion (among the other products in their line).
If you’ve got early hair loss, that is when medication like Propecia (finasteride 1mg) works best. You might be able to take a pill each day and see better results than you could from a hair transplant surgery. The medication can stop the loss from progressing and possibly regrow hair. Besides, no surgeon should perform a transplant on a teenager with early hair loss like you describe. If you find a doctor that wants to rush you into cosmetic surgery at 19 years old with early hair loss, he’s just looking at you as a revenue source, not as a patient.
It is important to understand that these hair styles evolve over years. I don’t think anyone just goes “Well, today is the day I finally cover up this bald head with some long hair from the side!”
The average hair cycle is 3 years and the average person loses 100 hairs per day, which adds up to about the total hair population on an average head (100,000 hairs).
Oh boy. First, the doctor you went to is correct — there is no medication to take for hair loss prevention. Neither finasteride nor minoxidil should be used to prevent something that might not even occur. If you’re losing hair (even in the early stages) that is a different story, but I don’t know where your loss is at, if any.
It really comes down to the surgeon and technicians staffed. As with any clinic, look at the doctor’s work in person. Don’t just rely on photos that may only show what the doctor wants you to see. Ask to meet patients that were done by the surgeon you will be getting and see what they say about the experience and the results. I’ve created a checklist for
