I noticed my hairline receding at the temples about 2 years ago. I started taking dutasteride injections in to my scalp 1 year ago along with minoxodil. My goal was to at least stabilize my hair loss before I get my hair done, although it didn’t get better, it actually got much worse. If I […]

Avoid turning to the Yellow Pages when seeking a hair transplant surgeon. Avoid referrals from your dermatologist or family practitioner. While your family doctor or dermatologist might mean well, the fact is that most physicians in this country know very little about the scope and pitfalls of this demanding cosmetic procedure. Unless your doctor has […]
This seminar has a reporter that went to Turkey and visited a series of clinics. Also some hair transplant patients that went to Turkey talk about their experience. This is all worthwhile if you are thinking about going to Turkey and are blind to what is happening there. There are a few terrific doctors in […]
Look at your donor supply as a bank account, but it has follicular units (grafts) instead of money. Caucasians are born with 110,000 hairs or 50,000 follicular units (grafts) of which something between 10,000-12,500 that contain permanent hairs. It is a simple calculation that if there are 50,000 grafts (follicular units which I am now […]
I got a HT 2 years ago, wondering if I can dermaroll/stamp in the area hairs we’re transplanted to (temples). I am hoping to thicken up the area some more. I don’t want to damage the hairs. Also planning to roll/stamp my scar to reduce the appearance. I am on both fin and min (oral). Hair transplants […]
At the 12th day, leave a suds up shampoo on your hair for 10 minutes getting the crusts water logged, and then gently with your fingertips, rub them off.
I am sorry if I add to your problems, but this is what I try to get guys under 25 to understand. The risks of hair transplants could be devastating, even if you took the drugs finasteride to minimize shock loss. It doesn’t always work. How many grafts did you have? How much hair remains […]
I want to know why there are so many scabs covering my grafts. I can’t see the density that the surgeon put in. What advice can you give me? These are questions you should be asking your surgeon. Scabbing occurs because of bleeding around the grafts and/or leakage of a serous fluid around the grafts […]
There is no doubt that this man, now in his mid-50s, looks younger than his balding before state. I did his surgery 20 years ago and it is always a pleasure seeing my older patient. He maintains his hair situation from progressing by taking finasteride which he has been taking since 2002. He has no […]
My question is, should I be using topical liquid min on my frontal area where I’ve had hairs transplanted? I never do as the box says it only works on the crown area, but is this different for the transplanted hairs? Hair transplants do not need minoxidil and minoxidil will not stimulate hair transplants to […]
Should I get a HT ? Im 23 i used minoxidil for 2 years and did nothing just stopped the shedding so what you advice me to do ? I am against surgery in someone your age because you might progress to a full Class 7 pattern and if you did, without careful planning, you […]
The arrows point to the sites where the skin or the scalp died off. The second photo shows the scalp skin has sloughed off. The cause of this is often too much epinephrine in the local anesthesia and site that are made too close for recipient area or even possibly too large a site creation. […]
Unfortunately, deforming or failed transplants take a big impact on people so such a story doesn’t sound outrageous. I am aware of three men who committed suicide because of hair loss, so the emotional impact of hair loss can be very severe for many men. Most men who get very emotional about their hair loss, […]
Currently 23 and seriously looking to get an FUE of about 2000 grafts done in the winter or spring of next year. I’ve had consultations a few months back, some doctors saying I’m too young but others giving me a price point with a conservative outcome I would be happy with. At this point in […]
Hair loss is caused by genes, hormones (DHT), age (number of hair cycles) and stress. A hair transplant is a stress. In my career, my group has performed over 17,000 surgeries over 31 years so I have seen the impact of a surgery when a man has miniaturized hairs (they lose these miniaturized hairs with […]
