The low laser energy therapy is relatively new in the United States. It has been used in Europe for some time. The evidence is anecdotal, but there is no real good objective science to prove value. Everyone wants to believe that it works. Products like the laser comb are available for around $600 and people […]

I have not read any impartial scientific papers that verify the effectiveness of laser combs. I tend to discount any reports that claim the combs work, if they are written by those who have a vested interest in the success of the laser comb industry. On the positive side, I have not read any papers […]
When you probe what these devices actually do, you often hear either unjustified claims (which are not legal from an FDA or FCC point of view) or that “studies are being done†and naming prominent people involved in these studies (as if to justify their premature endorsements). We never hear about the final results of […]
In response to your multiple questions, I can simply say that lasers do cause damage to the pigment cells both in the skin and in the hair. Hair has an amazing ability to come back, so maybe the changes in color that you noticed, may return after the hair goes through another cycle. There is […]
This is common when the surgeon leaves the graft sticking out of the beard after placement. This often occurs when using a Choi-type implanter and the way it is used. Most doctors who understand this, use this instrument to place the grafts flush with the surrounding beard after implantation, thus avoiding this complication. Repair is […]
21, ftm transgender man, got double mastectomy at 19 and telogen effluvium from the surgery triggered ongoing hair problems. ive been on topical minoxidil for about a year and i think it’s helped somewhat (i didnt take progress pictures because i was incredibly embarrassed about my situation). my dermatologist is thinking about oral minoxidil, especially […]
It’s supposed to look like hair, not dots of different sizes. You might consider removing it with a laser (special lasers in doctors office to remove tattoo) and do it with someone that know what it is supposed to look like.
It is hard to imagine that anyone would want this, or that even if someone was to want it, that any provider would deliver this end product. The SMP is a painted wall of blue colored ink in front of this poor man’s hairline. Something is wrong here. The good news is that this can […]
I felt terribly sorry for the poor man who went to a provider to get Scalp Micropigmentation as shown in these photos. Hopefully, they can be removed with an appropriate laser. Be sure that your provider knows how to do SMP by asking to see a few of his patients.
I plan to stay on oral minoxidil but it gives me unwanted body hair. I know that in normal situation, a laser hair removal works after few session, but does it destroy the entire hair follicle? So if i keep taking the minoxidil the unwanted hair, will it regrow despite the laser removal? If you […]
I had an FUE transplant a few years ago and I’m not real happy with my hairline. My hairline is a cm or two lower than I’d like, it doesn’t match my temples and it’s a bit low for how thin my hair is. It would look more natural if it were a bit higher. […]
The dot size is controlled by the operator (hold time in the skin and how deep they were placed) as well as their skills and the size and needle configuration in the hand piece of the device; however, many of the dots spread because of the size of the pigment particles themselves dictate the spread. […]
Losing Your Hair? You Might Blame the Great Stem Cell Escape. By observing mouse hair follicles, scientists discovered an unexpected mechanism of aging. “If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it,” one said. Researchers have found that hair loss from aging results from stem cells escaping hair follicles. Credit…Alamy By Gina […]
What Is Microneedling? Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy. Microneedling Benefits Microneedling may help with issues like: Acne Hair loss (also […]
You can either (1) try a laser hair removal which may take a few sessions and runs the risk of depigmenting your skin if it is tan or dark (2) removing them with FUE directly which works well. I would love to see photos of what you don’t like, what was done wrong and if […]
