You probably have a condition called alopecia universalis where all body hair (including eyebrows, lashes, and scalp hair) is lost. I would think that most people in your shoes would’ve seen a doctor by now (considering you lost all of your scalp and body hair), but please see a good dermatologist to get a proper […]

If the hairs never grew back after almost a decade, unfortunately there is not much you can do. Hair transplantation will likely not work since the donor hair will also be depleted. From a medical or surgical perspective, unfortunately there’s really nothing I can think to offer. If your daughter has some hair density, there […]
Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad I was able to help. With respect to the donor scar, there are scar revision surgeries and even Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) to disguise the scar. I don’t know that you’ll be able to completely eliminate the scarring, but masking it or revising it would possibly be […]
A second strip surgery in a person who had a sizable scar after the first surgery can produce an even larger scar the second time, but this is not always the case. There are times that a second surgery can reduce the scar from the first surgery. Considering the size of the scar, it might […]
Generally, men your age will respond to finasteride (Propecia) with regrowth in the crown, but clearly from your email, this was not your case. A good doctor should work with you through the specific logic and goals in your case. Treatment options may include Scalp MicroPigmentation / SMP (as long as you have hair […]
Everyone is different, so there’s no exact solution I can provide without seeing you and getting a better understanding of your individual case. Special cortisone injections may help, but that depends upon what we are treating. If the elevations are due to the mass displacement of the old plugs in atrophic skin, then the cortisone […]
They all work, you just have to use what is most comfortable and convenient for you. I have no preference.
The above snippet is from a press release I was sent, and I want to elaborate about how this is a treatable condition. For those of you who look into the mirror every morning and see the signs of hair loss, you should know that there are many options available for you to slow, stop, […]
Here’s a story about a patient that has had four total hair transplant procedures — procedure #1 and #2 in 1995-1996 with us totaling 3286 hair grafts, procedure #3 with another doctor a couple of years ago of 1000 grafts, and finally procedure #4 (to fix procedure #3). This gentleman continued to lose hair after […]
Yes, we have done this before. Here’s an example of a patient that wasn’t satisfied with his transplant and had SMP done to give it a fuller look. Another patient that comes to mind had SMP done first, then had 500 or so FUE grafts placed into his head to give him the feel of […]
If the hair does not come back after a full year, then you may want to see someone like us. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) or hair transplants can work to address this problem, but just be patient for now to see if the hair grows back on its own.
If I understand your question correctly, you have lost much of the frontal edge of your hairline and want it put back with SMP. You seem to understand that if you have SMP done at the leading edge of the hairline where you lost the hair, that you must shave your entire head and keep […]
The pigment we use for Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) is reversible with laser pigment removal; however, it may require more than one treatment. There is also a risk for hair loss with the laser pigment removal. A while back, we were made aware of an ink that was reportedly able to be removed with one laser […]
This patient came to see us after having a hair transplant (from another clinic) that still left him not a full as he would like. We offered Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) as an alternative option to having further transplant surgeries. He took this alternative option and the transformation was very exciting. It would have taken between […]
DermMatch is a kind of powdered paint (albeit a crude description) — it is not permanent and while it is not detectable up close when applied correctly, you can feel it and it does come off on your pillow and hands if you rub your scalp. Toppik is a similar temporary camouflaging product, but it […]
