From these photos I took off of the internet, the suggestion is that the virus was in Bats, frogs or snakes eaten by people in China. Then the Virus mutated to spread similar to many of the Flu viruses which propagate through saliva and our breadth. We breath  out the virus and spread it before it becomes symptomatic and that is what is dangerous about this particular virus (we don’t know who has it for a few days until symptoms appear). Some people will almost certainly be carriers of the virus, never developing symptoms which is not atypical for this type of virus. UPDATE as of 21/29/2020 Recent reports indicate that the incubation period is 3 days from exposure to symptoms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think most micropigmentation looks silly and fake. I don’t understand why anyone would make that shit as dark as they do. Even the stuff that looks reasonable i hate. WHat happens if someone feels your head, expecting peach fuzz, but OH WAIT that’s your goshdang scalp. It’s a joke. I think the absolute best micropigmentation work I have seen is the incomplete phase, where the hairline is light, the color is light. It looks like hair COULD grow there, but you’ve shaved your head completely. Kratos from the new God Of War has a head that looks bald, but if you look very very closely, you can see that he shaves.

I also would NOT want a perfect hairline, that makes it look even more cartoonish and atrocious . Anyways, any pigment people that do this kind of stuff?

I teach Scalp Micropigmentation at international conferences for doctors every year, and have written many journal articles on it. Here is a video from one of my patients: https://baldingblog.com/newhiar-medical-patients-speaks-about-scalp-micropigmentation/ Additionally, here is one of the articles I wrote, which you should read because it will educate you about this process: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Journal-of-clinical-and-aesthetic-surgery-Article.pdf

100 hair/day shed is normal for many people. Any shed from Finasteride and Minoxidil will stop over the first few months, so stick to your routine.

I wrote the original article on Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and yes, a hair transplant should never be done if you have this condition. However, too many young men assume that they have DUPA, and that is wrong. Get the diagnosis confirmed by an expert like me with microscopic examination of the donor area and a metric on the degree of miniaturization present in the donor area. The picture below cannot, without such a miniaturization analysis, arrive at a DUPA diagnosis.

This collection is second to none!

I live in New York City and am looking into scheduling my second session of FUT this fall. I’m transsexual and need to finish rounding out my m-shaped hairline after having done my first session last year out of the country because it was done within a week of another surgery.

This time I’m looking to stay close to home and have been speaking to a surgeon recommended by a friend, Michael Beehner, located far upstate in Saratoga. I like him because he’s communicated in depth with me over email and has a decent amount of before and after photos of trans women. I don’t think all surgeons/technicians are good at creating natural looking hairlines and I also don’t think my hairline was drawn properly the first time so I want it reevaluated.

What makes me hesitant in scheduling is the four hour bus ride for someone who charges $5/graft. I’m wondering if anyone in the NYC area can give me a comparison to other doctors here. Bernstein’s office told me $7. Maxim seems the cheapest, although I’m not sure by how much: their website says $2.95, but I saw a blog post from last year where a woman was quoted $4. Basically, if I feel like I’m getting a deal for a top notch surgeon and team then I’d feel a lot better about making the trip.

Never buy based upon price! Always check out the quality of the doctor. If you get a doctor who discounts his prices because he isn’t good enough to compete on quality, then you could buy less quality with a lesser price. I know both Bernstein and Beehner and they are both first class doctors.

A graft should represent a Follicular Unit which contains between 1-4 hairs each. When an FUE is done, the surgeon usually cherry picks the larger grafts to give you more hair per graft, so that 3000 grafts should give you about 6000 or more hairs. A good surgeon actually counts these hairs and grafts, and can and should make these counts available to you after the surgery. IF the surgeon doesn’t offer this, then maybe the surgeon is hiding something from you.
