Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Cancer patient receives first synthetic organ transplant It’s not hair-related, but it’s science at work. Fascinating stuff, and a big leap forward for regenerative medicine. For those curious, CNN also published an opinion article by Dr. Anthony Atala (a leader in regenerative medicine), where he discusses a […]

In general terms, Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) is a great method to disguise scarring from previous surgeries on the scalp, but you would need to keep your hair shaved. Another option would be a hair transplant to disguise the scars. A consultation would be best at this point so we can see what you’re dealing with […]
I have done a few pubic hair to scalp transplants and they work very well. I recall one African American fellow in particular and a few Caucasian patients that had this done over the past many years. The FUE technique may have a good role here. I have also seen another person who used pubic […]
I have never seen a true keloid in the scalp. If I were your doctor, I’d perform a series of biopsies to determine if you form keloids in the scalp. I would wait 8 months… and then if you did not develop keloids, I would consider doing hair transplants on you. I don’t know what […]
Contrary to what you may think, I am available to anybody who wants to see me for a consultation. In fact, many of my patients are just the “average Joe”. Anyone can call 800-NEW-HAIR to setup an appointment. Since you indicated you’re in the Bay Area, you can also see my associate Dr. Jae Pak, […]
Note: I believe these were from two different people, but the questions are related so I’ll answer them together… Email #1 Email #2 Read the official study posted at Hairlosstalk.com and you can draw whatever conclusions you want from it. I believe that this drug has a forever component, but that does not mean that […]
I just got back from the 17th annual scientific ISHRS meeting (basically a hair transplant doctor’s convention), which went on from July 22-26. Lots of information was presented… lots of lectures, presentations, and discussions. This year’s meeting was in Amsterdam, so I had quite a long flight back to California when it was all over […]
There does appear to be considerable thinning behind the frontal hairline from these pictures. The change shown here could be do to the use of concealers, or a treatment period on Propecia or minoxidil (it would be a great result from the medications and I have seen this on occasion, although rare). It could even […]
It seem that you’re basically asking me to give you a consultation and recommendation without seeing you. Everybody is different! I do not wait until someone goes bald to transplant them, but that means that I must be able to understand the patient well, measure the quality and the quantity of the hair in the […]
UV exposure does impact the skin. Dr. Richard Shiell in Australia believes that he gets less hair growth from transplants on the right side of the frontal hairline in his patients due to sun exposure from those who do a lot of driving. In Australia, they drive on the left side of the road and […]
“Graft” can be defined as: living tissue surgically transplanted from its normal location in one part of the body into another part of the body in the same individual (an autotransplant, like hair or bone marrow transplants) or from one individual to another individual (like a kidney or heart transplant) and is expected to grow […]
Wow, this is pretty complicated. I really can’t give a proper response without at least pictures and I may need to even see you directly to see precisely what needs to be worked with. Keloids may respond to steroids directly placed into the keloid if it is relatively fresh (past few months). Some people are […]
Look at the previous blog post titled, Difference Between Norwood Class 7 Patients. In that post, you will see a man (Patient BF) that became a Class 7 patient over 10 years. He started getting transplants in the front initially and then progressed to a Class 7 after the transplants were done. So yes, you […]
There is a general reluctance to transplant the crown of a young man by competent hair transplant surgeons who tend to think long term on the progressive nature of hair loss. I think that transplanting the crown is not a problem provided that: You are on finasteride (my strong preference) and you give it enough […]
To answer your first question, the skin from under the scalp (the skin that is balding now) was protected from sun exposure (the sun adds color to the skin by increasing pigmentation). The lighter color you are seeing resulted from the protection of the hair cover that is now disappearing. When the hair is disappearing, […]
