I would like the bald crown filled in as much as possible without that large ugly scar from the old methods of hair transplantation. Is the FUE and ARTAS are reasonable option? I only want the best! Any hair transplant will fill in the crown. There are stip procedures and there are FUE procedures which are manual or […]
This patient came today at the age of 44. He start to lose hair just 3 years ago, an came because he wanted a hair transplant. His hair is black, medium weight and it has a good wave to it. He is of Italian heritage which gives him a terrific hair character. I measured his […]
Knowing that you are 30 years old and assuming that your hair is of a medium thickness (not fine or coarse), it would take about 1800 grafts to fill in this area. More if it were fine, less if it was coarse. The crown is where the hair changes direction, so a good swirl needs to […]
In people with dark straight hair and light skin, the swirl on the crown may highlight a light scalp. To find out if this is balding, a doctor can look at it with a hand microscope and if there is miniaturization present in excess of 20% of the hairs in view, then you can consider […]
Over 20 years, this patient lost a lot of hair and as it was filled in, he ended up with a total of 7635 grafts, 2000 to achieve the goals shown below. His last procedures is show here, which reflect before and after pictures on moving his hairline down and filling in the crown. […]
Hair loss is a progressive process, so when you have early crown loss in your early 20s, you can expect this to slowly get worse at a pace consistent with your genetic clock for hair loss. Everyone is different and many such men will develop a receding hairline as well.
This is a terrible question as it reflects a doctor who is not ethical and a patient who is naive. A 21 year old might have early crown hair loss and frontal hairline loss along the hairline (Called a Norwood Class 3 Vertex pattern) which is not uncommon in a young man under 23 years […]
If the finasteride has not solved the problem by this time in your crown and you have some hair present you have three options. 1- Do nothing and live with it 2- Get a hair transplant which may solve the problem as that is what I did. My bald crown is now full looking 3- […]

There seems to be a disconnect between you and your doctor. If he recommend surgery what is the problem? What is the “weird” hair loss pattern? Is your doctor a novice where he has never seen a person like you before? Maybe you need a second opinion from another doctor (in person). Some people do […]
I think it should be quite simple by using the medication as directed. Rogaine 5% is a topical medication and it is to be used twice a day on the area of balding on the scalp. Applying it, unfortunately, is not a science especially when you have to put it one in areas you can […]
Scalp Micropigment is a permanent concealer similar to the temporary concealer like Toppik or Dermmatch. SMP goes on the scalp but Toppik and Dermmatch also goes on both the scalp and on the hair. Toppik and Dermmatch will make you hair “feel” thicker. SMP will not. But the overall coverage and cosmetic value will be […]
This is called getting old. Maybe you always had some thinning but as you get old it is showing more. Maybe you were genetically programmed to be a Norwood 2V/ 3V. I do not know. The best test to find out if you are balding, is to get a hair Bulk Analysis or a Miniaturization […]
Finasteride plus minoxidil works better in the crown than finasteride alone in some people. My advice has always been to to start on the finasteride first (with a doctor’s prescription) and if after a reasonable time there is a poor response in the crown, then add minoxidil treatment to see if there’s an added boost […]
