Most consumers and patients take for granted that “board certification” implies some level of expertise and qualification of a doctor. What does it ultimately mean to you? Why do we even bother with it? Is it to advertise achievement reflecting doctors’ credentials? In the United States there are 24 approved medical specialty boards that are […]

I am not sure what your doctor means by “stabilized”. In young men, the hair situation is progressive, so unfortunately stability is not the rule. After a hair transplant, some of the hair loss will increase (shock loss)… so a hair transplant is destabilizing. You should be on finasteride for a good few weeks before […]
There are few indications for body hair transplants (BHT). From what I have seen, the results are quite variable. It might be a waste of your money doing it, especially if it did not meet your objectives. I occasionally refer patients who are committed to body hair, but I do not do them myself.
Scalp hair is the best source for transplanting to the temple area. It should be noted that the temple area is a very difficult area for hair transplant doctors to get “right”. It is an artistic and technical skill to make temple transplants look natural, as the surgeon must fully understand the direction of the […]
Redness can be an issue for some patients even years after surgery. I’ve seen this on occasion from old (bad) hair transplant days, but I rarely see this anymore. Maybe you have a skin problem, though it’s all a guessing game without an examination.
I have done pubic hair to scalp transplants before — a couple of them were with FUE, and most with a small strip. Scarring should not be a big problem, depending on the amount of grafts that are removed. All surgery produces some kind of scarring, though, even if it is minimal or barely detectable. […]
Genetic hair loss is not a disease. Balding is a genetic trait, like your height, body build, hair color, the way you look, etc. Even if this ‘fasting’ has value (which I would doubt), it will not change your genetics. Significant fasting can actually accelerate hair loss. You are what you are and although your […]
Hair transplants from the scalp are far superior to body hair transplants, even with the short haircut you want. That is what FUE offers. I don’t recommend body hair transplants.
There is clearly something going on and you need to address your issues with your surgeon. I sound like I’m a broken record, but body hair / beard hair does not follow the same growth cycle as scalp hair and it is not considered the standard in hair transplant surgery. I have seen many failures […]
There are obviously differences of opinion here, but to be endorsed by a website that is supported by and paid for by the physician (the doctors pay a monthly fee to be on that site) does not make it a new standard. Plain and simple — today, body hair transplantation (BHT) is not a Gold […]
PRP means platelet rich plasma, and this is obtained by putting some of your blood in a tube, then spinning it down so that the plasma segment from the mix allows the red blood cells to fall to the bottom of the blood tube. The plasma is on the top of the tube and it […]
Celebrities are just people like you and me, and they have what you and I have, nothing more and nothing less… other than $$$. Some will opt for hairpieces/wigs, which can be expensive to maintain. Some will opt for hair transplants, which are permanent. Others will opt for medication, or a combination of surgery/meds. I […]
I’ve been writing about hair transplant failures more and more on this site lately, because it is a growing concern. I have been seeing, on average, 1 patient per week (from outside my office) who had a hair transplant with a significant failure of the grafts to grow (greater than an 80% failure). I just […]
I have been asked the question posed in the title of the post many times, and each and every time I answered it on this site, I was emphatic that this could not be done because of the problems that we see in kidneys, livers, and hearts when they are transplanted (i.e. they get rejected […]
Leg hairs do look similar to eyebrow hairs and can grow to about the same length, so it may be an option. The major problem with leg hair is the length of the telogen portion of the hair growth cycle. The telogen component (the period where the hairs are not growing above the skin and […]
