Your options are very limited, unfortunately. The plugs can possibly be removed, but you’ll still be left with scarring in that area and in the donor area at the back of your head. Scalp Micropigmentation could be an option for covering the scars from old plugs. Many men with bad plugs and bad hair transplants […]

You need to establish a doctor-patient relationship, then ask that doctor if he would go along with your request. I am open to any reasonable ideas and plans, but I look for realistic expectations and will not produce a “fad” that will fix you to an unusual look for the rest of your life.
Not everyone will have very visible scarring, but any wound to the scalp will leave a scar to some degree. Just to what degree you will scar, I have no way to know. The combination of follicular unit extraction (FUE) and Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) does work… but with that said, you need to be evaluated […]
Your guess is as good as mine. I do not know the circumstance of actor/comedian/host Joe Rogan’s hair loss or the treatment he had. It’s possible that he had the surgery many years ago and had continued hair loss, but I really don’t know. Someone might mention to him that we can treat his scar […]
You are reporting a urological problem, so finding a good urologist is critically important as your source of information. Although testicular pain has been reported with the use of finasteride, one should rule out (as you have done with your GP and the above tests) the presence of other conditions that cause testicular pain. Of […]
Actually, he wasn’t our surgical patient. I believe 1mm to 1.5mm punch was used, though I would guess more on the 1mm side. I should point out that even while he wasn’t our FUE patient, he could have had the same punch scars produced if we did the surgery. What I mean is, FUE is […]
If the donor scar has healed, you don’t need more surgery, and the scar is narrow, then follicular unit extraction (FUE) to the linear scar is possible. FUE does not fill in wide scars well, though. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP), on the other hand, may be a better approach. Explore it all.
I get this question quite a bit from patients who have already had the hair transplant strip surgery and then inquire about having a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure to follow it up. It makes little sense for the person that already has a strip scar (no matter how wide it is) to have an […]
There are no easy answers. Your examination in the office showed that you have already lost 61% of the hair in the crown, 26% of the hair on the top, and 32% of the hair in the front. With my naked eye and your blond hair color, one can’t really make out the balding at […]
DermMatch will not rub off. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) will not rub off either…. but it is permanent. DermMatch is cheaper and will wash off.
We do not generally recommend beard hair as a donor supply for transplanting to the scalp unless the donor supply in the back of the head is badly depleted. I realize there are doctors who specialize or advertise in these type of procedures, but it is something we do not recommend. What is making your […]
Video: NHI on California Adventure TV When we did this interview and video shoot for California Adventure TV, the host was very excited and she showed it in this piece. Can you imagine why we got excited? And in case seeing a beautiful woman talk about hair loss treatments isn’t enough to get you to […]
Brocq Pseudopelade is a scarring alopecia and is difficult to treat. If the disease has taken its course and not changed much in the past few years, the objectives for a local small surgery are clearly defined, and if the area being addressed is located in a place that tends to heal well, then surgery […]
Scars from brain surgeries, as you describe, can be addressed with a hair transplant surgery or with Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). Treating brain surgery scars take some experience, as hair that is transplanted into the scar tissue may not fully grow. Be sure that the doctor you see has experience with transplanting into scars. I would […]
If you find that you have a scar from your donor harvest that you find is unacceptable, these options need to be discussed with a competent doctor. The scar often has ridging from the nature of the closure and that will be determined by the doctor who evaluates you. Scars from the donor area are […]
