https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1004217/report-exposes-chinas-unlicensed-hair-transplant-industry This is similar to many clinics in Turkey where almost 500 clinics have FUE surgery performed by minimally trained personal. I believe that these people can learn how to do it as they practice more and more on patients, but the problem is what happens when there is a side effect from anesthesia, or […]
I know how it works chemically. I mean in practice. I’ve been on finasteride for 4.5 months now and haven’t noticed any regrowth and my hair is starting to shed quite a bit again. I obsess over this every day and it’s destroyed my confidence. My hair is about an inch long right now so i think […]
Suicide? Whatever is wrong, I can fix. Contact me (wrassman@newhair.com). I have often reached out to young men who are thinking about suicide because of hair issues, often caused by a bad hair transplant on an immature male who didn’t do his research. I am aware of two suicides over my career on patients who […]
You should go back and see your doctor. I always tell my patients that you can expect 80% growth in 8 months. The picture you showed does not reflect much hair growth on your left side. If your doctor is honorable, he will answer the following questions for you: How would he explain the failure? If […]
This is a terrible complication. This is called central necrosis, which means that all the skin in the area that you see has died. You need an experienced surgeon to take care of this. This is not an easy situation. It will take months just to get the infection under control, and the skin to […]
These photos were taken from an article published in the Hair Transplant Forum by Manny Marritt, M.D. in October 1993. Dr. Marritt died a week ago, but his ideas helped many of the caring doctors in the field of hair restoration think of the patient’s future hair loss when considering a hair transplant. The need […]
Traveling overseas can save you money on a hair transplant. I just surveyed many markets to find out what the cost per graft is in various countries from people who knew. Putting Turkey and India aside for a moment, the costs from reputable clinics including Thailand, Korea, much of South America, Mexico and Eastern Europe […]
LLLT is an option that really does not do much although because so many people use it and are vested in the effort, the reports are not very accurate. I studied patients with LLLT treatments in two forms. The first was an expensive LLLT machine which I offered at no charge to my patients but […]
Minoxidil is not effective to stimulate recipient area hair growth. I studied this on 50 patients with minoxidil on 1/3rd of the head and none on the other side. Both sides grew equally fast and well. What is the best way to get good growth is to have an excellent surgeon and surgical team do […]
CHICAGO – A Cook County woman is suing a physician, alleging negligence, after her husband died while undergoing an elective hair restoration procedure in December 2014. The suit alleges that despite the patient’s history of heart disease, no EKG monitoring was used during the operation, which may have prevented his death. This is now the […]
This questions was actually asked of a patient. Would I Put Hair On My Tattoo Of A Horse So That IT Has a Real Hairy Tail? This came in through an email as many of our patients do to get access to us. After considerable thought, I thought through the process and I would be […]
Doctors generally want to help people and doctors use what tools are available to do just that. Unfortunately, the hair transplant technology that was available prior to 1992, was a very limited technology. It was used by hundreds of doctors over decades and consisted of two types of surgical procedures. The scalp reduction, which removed […]
A recent paper published in “Perspectives on Psychological Science” indicates that people who spend less time alone and are less socially isolated might live longer and this has been found to hold in all ages of people. The study was done at Brigham Young University analyzing 3 million participants from a variety of health groups. […]
Let’s put things in to perspective. Just because a study or paper is published does not make things a fact. Many people use the Internet and find their “truth” or “proof” based on simple statements without really looking at what has been done or studied. Few ever think about the study parameters and the limitations […]
