I just responded to a similar question regarding acupuncture earlier this week. I realize there are many people that swear by acupuncture or acupressure to relieve everything from headaches to constipation to sleep disorders (of course, I’m not saying I’d recommend it), but regrowing hair by touching your fingernails? That’s a new one to me. […]

As I’ve said many, many times before, you must have a good doctor/patient relationship before venturing into a permanent cosmetic procedure like a hair transplant. Counting the touches during surgery sounds like you had trust issues. You had anesthesia which numbed your scalp, so I can not imagine how you could count what I would […]
This is a follow-up to Neck Hair and DHT Sorry, but that still doesn’t help me. Neck hair starts at the notch at the base of the skull. The hair at and above the notch is scalp hair. Where exactly is the hair you are talking about? When you touch your chin to your chest, […]
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I believe that our original paper first documented the term Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) over 10 years ago. There is not much on this variation of the alopecias which appear in men. When it appears in women, it is called the same thing, but we expect that this […]
DHEA and steroids do make hair loss worse. Propecia may minimize the impact and it is doubtful that it would hurt. Check this out with the doctor who is prescribing your medications.
Thank you, so I have longer hair (shoulder length) I usually see that the strip or shaved fue area is somewhat in the middle of the back of head. I’m thinking of getting a minor procedure done as in just a touch up for the hairline. I’m estimating 1500 to 2000 grafts at most (this […]
Hello Dr. Rassman, I need your opinion on my situation. I’m just looking for an informal opinion. I received a 2900 graft transplant for my nw 3 last year to rebuild my hairline/temples and strengthen my temple points. I went to a prominent surgeon in Europe. I have very thick/coarse hair with a 2.81 hair […]
The Post: After Hair Transplants, many doctors ignore patients’ questions – why? was followed on Reddit where it was posted initially with the following responses. I think that my point was understood. Comment 1: Yes I totally agree. I had a good transplant so I am ok and don’t had much to complain about (post […]
A brief rundown of my first ever consultation. The whole thing lasted less than 30 minutes. I filled out a couple questionnaires and then met with a “counselor.” They estimated I was a great candidate due to limited loss and strong donor hair and I would need 1500 or less grafts with FUT. I asked […]
Hi Doctor, I am thinking about getting a SMP and have some apprehensions. I saw a few of your posts and you seem to be quite upfront and honest about the procedure. I would mean a lot to me if you could please verify some of the information I have been told. The clinic where […]
If a man, who has undergone SMP for a class 6 balding pattern, is adamant about applying high SPF sunscreen whenever he is going to be exposed to the sun for extended periods of time, will this completely prevent any fading of the SMP as a result of the sun? Or is some fading inevitable […]
It’s always good to hear from our patients. The entire staff takes personal pride in what we do and we form a close bond with our patients. Thank you for sharing your experience!
The pictures say it all. The photo was taken before the final touch up to even out the hair line and evening out the SMP overall. Even before the final touch up you can see the dramatic change. His 10 year old boy commented, “Daddy, you have hair now!”.
Since we have been performing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP), there have been various clinics that started offering something like SMP, but with non-permanent ink. Non-permanent ink is just like makeup or just drawing something on your head with a pen, in my opinion, so you don’t have to worry about other procedures (it will erase off […]
We have been performing Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) now for two years, so I can not address a longer time frame. I have seen one patient who had scalp tattoos done elsewhere about 9 years ago and he touched it up often (possibly too often). His scalp took on the appearance of smeared color. The black […]
