Very happy camper with terrific results after one hair transplant session. He was more than willing to allow me to show the dramatic changes. The before picture showed the distribution of the 2678 grafts on the day of surgery For some of you that may think the results are still thin, the difference is that […]

What you are referring to is a TV show called Botched that runs on E. What Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow does is basically inserting tissue expander to the scalp. In my opinion it seems a bit sensationalized by saying it was a breast implant to the scalp but this is TV after […]
The cost to repair this type of problem can range from $3000 to over $10,000. Most doctors have developed strategies for the treatment of hair plugs that include: (a) This problem is created when the doctor tries to thicken the frontal hair where balding or thinning occurs. Over time, the hair is lost from continuation […]
I generally do not recommend keeping the hair short (crew cut length) after a hair transplant because the hair transplant does not create enough density. For a hair transplant, we generally target about 15 to 25% of the original density. If the transplants is limited to a specific small area, that number will be increased […]
This week I saw a man who had a transplant of 3000 grafts… and did not look normal. His examination showed a very low donor density and very fine hair, yet the doctor who did the surgery had placed these 3000 grafts uniformly around his entire, very large Class 7 balding area. The patient regretted […]
We are announcing a summer discount program for hair transplants as follows: · Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), reduced from $8/graft to $6/graft (minimum 1,000 grafts) · Strip surgery reduced from $6 to $5/graft (minimum fee $3,000) These fees will apply for any surgery performed before August 31, 2014. In addition, we want to invite you […]
Nawaz Sharif could fill up the frontal area with another procedure and get some more hair on the top of his head, but as has a Norwood class 7 balding pattern with what appears to be fine hair, I doubt that he will ever look completely full. In our practice, we have performed hair transplants […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Death of the comb-over This was just a survey of 1000 people by a hair clinic in the UK, but I’d agree that the comb-over is becoming less common than it seemingly was in past decades. With new surgical and non-surgical treatments available, men are able to […]
Alvaro Traquina, M.D. used the term “micropigmentation of the scalp” in an article published in the Dermatologic Surgery medical publication back in 2001 (see Micropigmentation as an Adjuvant in Cosmetic Surgery of the Scalp). His title, text, and pictures clearly define the use of the pigment as a concealer. We started using the term Scalp […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Ryan Shazier continues to get the last laugh Even though Ryan Shazier says that alopecia areata is his signature look, many people with this condition still desire the look of a closely clipped scalp that can be achieved with Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). See one such patient here.
We’ve written briefly about the Richfeel Anagrow product before, which apparently contains plant stem cells. Unfortunately, there is no clinical science to back up their claims. You said that this company specializes in “curing hair related issues”, but there is no cure for hair loss that I know of. I can tell that you’re trying […]
Click the photo to enlarge: Was there a question for me? I don’t know why you have this bald spot, whether it was indeed from birth or perhaps a trauma to the scalp in your childhood that you don’t remember. But if there’s no hair that you remember growing there, I would agree that […]
You must use minoxidil for life to maintain any benefits you may see from it. If you do not plan to stick with a minoxidil treatment beyond just 6 months, I don’t really see a point in starting it. If you do start and then stop after 6 months, you will lose any hair that […]
I don’t know what kind of procedure was done, but usually scar tissue won’t regrow hair on its own. Hair transplants into scars from surgery work well. If the scar is narrow enough, Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) would probably work. The two in combination will certainly solve the detectability issue.
There is no substitute for a good doctor to help you in this process. If you are really losing hair, then stopping Proscar (finasteride) could be a disaster that would lead to “catch-up” hair loss. I assume the Proscar you’re taking is cut into 4 or 5 pieces, and not the full table, which would […]
