Absolutely continue taking Propecia through the entire process and on to at least 9 months, if not ‘forever’. If you don’t, you will lose the hair benefits you accumulated since you started taking the drug and run the risk of hair loss shock with the transplant.

This is a follow-up of the blog entry from the other day, What Happens When a Doctor’s Car and Mansion Payment Is More Important Than You? First, lets get to the photos. The photo on the left was taken this week in my office. The photo on the right was taken 18 months ago, also […]
The beard effect you talk about is from the short transplanted hairs that are visible immediately after the hair transplant. It usually lasts one to four weeks before it sheds. It is not readily detectable if you have other hair to cover it, but if you are a class 6 (completely bald) obviously you cannot […]
Hair could be donated from other people just like organ donation, but without drugs to suppress the immune response, it will be rejected. Patients who are receiving an organ transplant need to be matched before the surgery for antigen compatibility and stay on anti-rejection medication for the rest of their lives. If you have an […]
I accepted to do the hair transplant on the patient (Russ) from The Great American Dream Vote show and the producers pushed me hard to project an “after” result for them that they could use for shock value on the show. With proper releases, I found another hair transplant patient who looked almost exactly the […]
College student Russ Jowell’s dream was to have a head of hair again, and as the winner of ABC TV’s “The Great American Dream Vote”, his dream was granted by the New Hair Institute in the form of hair transplantation surgery. I sat down to speak with him the day after his surgery so he […]
Part 2 of 2: For part 1 and a brief description, please see yesterday’s posting here.
This man had the ugly, pluggy hair transplant procedure that was common in the mid 80s. Unfortunately, many, many people think that this is the standard and that if they have a hair transplant, this is what they are going to look like. I spend a great deal of time trying to explain away these […]
Congratulations! You are a polar bear. A polar bear’s fur is translucent despite its apparent white hue. Kidding aside, what you are describing seems to be vellus hairs that commonly grow all over our body (look closely at your face… its all over — except for our palms and soles). These hairs are not like […]
One of the sources that I located said: “갈바닉 스파 브로셔 pdf파ì¼ë³€í™˜”. It did not make much sense to me (a small language problem, but I am sure that some of my readers understand the message). One English source showed a picture of it that looks like a cattle electric shocker (see here). It delivers […]
In male pattern baldness, hairs of an affected area gradually become thin, before they ultimately fall out. Light hair that you noticed is probably a result of your hair miniaturizing. You should have your hair and scalp mapped out for miniaturization to determine just what is happening to you. In a man who is genetically […]
Your doctor should have covered this. Yes, you can blow dry your hair and use grooming adjuncts as you did prior to the transplant. Sleep any way you are comfortable. And if you were on Rogaine prior to the surgery and the hair is Rogaine dependent, do start it up or you will experience withdrawal […]
Your father is correct in stating that confidence in your physician is very important. That being said, BaldingBlog is not a place for a medical second opinion. You should either address these issues with doctor or formally make an appointment with another hair transplant surgeon for the second opinion. Credentials are important and being a […]
There are no studies I am aware of that show such information. There are some general observations that I have made about finasteride which are strictly my opinion, however. Finasteride works better: in younger men or when the hair loss is more recent (less than 2 -3 years) in the crown for restoring hair to […]
This is the first video of a new showcase of interviews with everyday people (both men and women) about their experiences with thinning hair — whether just noticing random people, family members, or even losing hair themselves. Based on the response I get, more of these style videos will be added to the site. Please […]
