I am sorry to tell you, but I think that your hair transplant failed with the exception of the frontal area which clearly has some growth evident. I think that your doctor does not want to tell you the truth. After having 5,000 grafts in a single session, another FUE procedure would make you bald in the […]

An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area. Both the recipient area and the donor area have wounds that require daily washing with soap and water. The key is to wash off the crusts before they appear. Within 3 days of surgery, you can resume full activities, including […]

An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard […]

An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area, but the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water.

What you are seeing is terrible post operative washing. You should have washed off all of the crusts on the day and the day following the surgery. When this is done correctly, within three days of surgery, you can resume full activities, heavy exercises if you wish. The recipient area requires daily washes to keep it free of crusts. […]
I just had anFUE hair transplant 4 days ago in Thailand by a good surgeon who is a ABHR member also, they advised me to spray the recipient area hourly for 3 days while I was awake, but for some reason I missed that part and for the first 24 hours after surgery I didn’t […]
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is promoted by many doctors as a scar-less surgery. This is never true. All FUE surgeries produce punctate (small) scars which appear at every site where a grafts is removed and can be seen only when the scalp is shaved very closely. Although many patients never see these scars, some of […]
This patient had an FUE 5 days earlier. What I want our readers to note, is that there is not only no crusting on the recipient area, but the donor area is completely healed, I get emails frequently which show terrible crusting after a hair transplant in the recipient area. I tell everyone our routine, […]

But there are cancers that are present in your body (everyone has them) that may never grow into aggressive cancers. We know this because, for example, most men over the age of 50, […]
Imagine, you go to buy a car, and you are clear as to what you want. A good car salesman is a professional who knows how to bond with you so that salesmen can gain their trust to possibly have you buy the next model up with loads of options without appearing too pushy. You […]
Was your friend’s name George? Seriously, rubbing one’s scalp should not damage your hair follicles in that one incident. Even if the rubbing pulled out hair, that hair would return. No matter what type of hair you have, it is rather very difficult to permanently damage a hair follicle. I always discuss that people who […]
It it generally thought that ACell will help the healing process deep in the wound and possibly reduce the superficial scarring, thereby making better wounds. There is circumstantial evidence for this in our practice, but this is more conjecture than science. I have not seen that ACell has helped the graft healing or made it […]
