Every patient is different, but in general the scabs and the redness (if there is any) goes away anywhere between a few days to around 2 weeks. On the other hand, the short hairs from the transplant look like a newly grown beard, and in a woman that might make it detectable if she does […]

This patient had one Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) treatment on his hair transplant scar. The AFTER video was taken immediately after SMP, so you can see some redness on the scalp, which will go away in a day or two. In general, SMP to a scalp scar takes two to three sessions. The patient above […]
Thinning hair in a 23 year old man is usually caused by genetic balding. You should see a good doctor to have your hair mapped for miniaturization and have your hair bulk analyzed to be sure that you have genetic balding. If this is the case, then the use of medications like Propecia will be […]
There are many answers to this question. They include: The most common cause of pustules are left over remnants of the grafts that remain in the recipient wounds. The remnants include sebaceous glands which produce sebum below the skin. This sebum has no way out, because the hair follicle has not formed, so there are […]
I am not sure that I see what you are talking about… Michael Keaton has very visible male pattern baldness from what I can see in the video you sent. I’ve attached a photo from 2013 on the right that shows he’s losing his hair. I don’t clearly see any work done here. It is […]
Some people might see some hair loss after a local trauma to the scalp, but I can’t explain how bumping your head would cause hair loss weeks or even months later, nor can I guess as to why you’re experiencing burning and tingling that is spreading. I am curious to know what your dermatologist comes […]
1. In my practice, I use a copper peptide shampoo for the first week as an option for hair transplant patients. My practice and thoughts on copper peptides is not new or different. 2. It does not promote hair growth nor does it provide much soothing effect on itchy scalp. I do know that minoxidil […]
If you want a second opinion, you need to see another doctor. This site is not a place for a second opinion. If you were diagnosed with a infection, then an antibiotic seem to be a logical treatment. If you were diagnosed with genetic male pattern baldness (MPB), then it is a different story. Your […]
Like you, I am always concerned about overdosing steroids. Patients need to follow up closely with their doctors for any adverse effects. A treatment that may work in others may not work for you. Doctors are there to help their patients, but the healing process is dynamic and things may change. We all have the […]
The itch you’ve experienced could be related to the hair loss you’re seeing, but it’s not a common thing to have an itchy scalp because of genetic hair loss. I haven’t been able to pinpoint a link, but some people have told me they’ve experienced itchiness during thinning. You should try seeing another doctor, perhaps […]
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.
You have the right idea about discussing this with your doctor. There have been reports where patients (mostly from websites) refer to “fogginess” and symptoms like depression in people on finasteride. In my private practice over the last 10 years with thousands of patients on Propecia (finasteride), including myself and my son, the complaints of […]
You can shave your head after a hair transplant, but you have to be careful until all of the scabs fall off and the donor scar is healed. If you wait until the scalp heals, the scabs will be gone by then. There will likely be redness in the recipient area, which may make a […]
If you let your hair grow out to a reasonable length, the pink color of the scar will be covered. That’s the easiest solution, really. Was your scar pink for a long while after your first hair transplant? You may just have to wait it out. You can try topical hydrocortisone (a small dab spread […]
Low testosterone could lead to hair loss (because androgenic hair loss in men is due to the genetic predisposition not the hormone level), but I couldn’t say if that is the cause of your loss. Stress could also cause hair loss (if it is in a non pattern/ diffuse), and the stress could be brought […]
