I would ask your doctor first for an examination and a diagnosis for the correct treatment plan. Sometimes, just giving it time may be the best treatment. It generally takes over a year for a scar to settle, but if it has been over 2 years, I would consult with a doctor. Most of the […]
If you have issues after a hair transplant surgery (or any surgery) you need to follow up with your doctor/surgeon. In your case, you traveled to another continent for your surgery, but you should be able to email some photos to your doctor and speak with him/her over the phone. It’s unfortunate that your […]
Hormonal changes following childbirth can cause hair loss, though I wouldn’t expect it to last years. I’m very sorry to hear about your daughter. Stress is known to cause hair loss, and the amount of stress you must be going through from losing a child could undoubtedly lead to more thinning. Additionally, it’s possible that […]
There’s no way for me to know what is going on without an exam, but male pattern baldness does not start on the sides of the head. Actually, the only hair that should be untouched by hair loss should be the hair on the sides. If there’s redness, that’s something your dermatologist can treat.
There are two ways to harvest the donor hair for transplantation: 1. Take out the hairs one-by-one using a small (1mm diameter) punch. This is called the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. To do this, you need to shave the back of your scalp so that that hairs will fit into the small punch. Without […]
If you are one of our patients, you should come in for a visit when you are in the US, or send me a photograph and then we can speak over the phone. Yes, there are treatments for very red scars that persist for long periods of time such as topical steroids. Their chronic use, […]
The diagnosis of rosacea has many forms of severity and symptoms (see here), but it is generally limited to the face, not scalp. Hair loss isn’t a usual side effect of rosacea as far as I’m aware. I found a post on the National Rosacea Society forum that discusses having scalp inflammation in addition to […]
I don’t know what chemical you used. If the hair loss occurred less than 6 months ago, you might still see it return. If it is beyond 6 months, you might seek a hair transplant into the balding spot.
If you wash your hair twice a day starting the next day after surgery, most of the scabs and redness should be gone and you should be left with a 1/4 inch stubble of hair on the front after 2 weeks. I suppose if you are really looking at it you may be able to […]
I have no way to know how to answer your question without even seeing what you mean. You may have developed an atopic dermatitis which has persisted over time. I would suggest that you see a good dermatologist in your area.
This is a Norwood 6 patient who had a hair transplant done at a clinic in Europe in the 1990s with the old pluggy technique. He wanted to shave his head, but the old hair transplant donor scar and the visible plugs were a problem for him. This patient chose a combination of (1) SMP […]
Some patients have persistent redness at the donor scar area, even after one year. Follow up with your doctor and get a formal opinion. Sometimes the redness may subside over time (1-2 years).
Why would you bother with body hair transplants (BHT) when you can use your scalp hair? Body hair tends to be texturally different. If you truly want a stubble look with real hair, using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) with scalp hair extracted with FUE is a good way to accomplish this. On the flip side, patients […]
Androgenic alopecia is a genetic trait and there are no drugs or potions that will stop it. Propecia and Rogaine seem to slow it down or sometimes reverse it for a few years (it buys you time), but you will continue to lose hair. In other words, there’s no cure. In your case, it is […]
