I do not have numeric data for you. Instead of focusing on statistics, try to understand the big picture. If I tell you that 1 percent will have no results, and you happen to be that 1%, it is 100% for you (in your particular case). My main point was that everybody is different and […]

Such a transplant (beard to scalp) would technically work, but to what master design is the question! The character of beard hair is different than scalp hair. You’d need to come in for a consultation and let me look at the many variables. With your goals clearly defined, we can discuss not only using beard […]
You can move your own hair from one place to another on your body. Yes, from your leg to your chest should work as well as from your leg to the scalp or the scalp to your leg. The leg hair is shorter and there is a 50% telogen phase for all hair follicles, which […]
In my opinion, results of body hair transplants are not well documented. I appreciate your desperate cry for some solution, but sometimes the best advice a doctor can give is just by making the patient aware of limitations in medicine. Moreover, I don’t like to experiment on patients when I know the the technology and […]
I am familiar with the body transplants that are being done. I am softening my position on them in very special situations. I met a man yesterday who does not have enough donor hair for the crown, but has gorilla hair on his back. He is aware of the limitation in telogen hairs and nevertheless […]
The skin has nothing to do with hair loss, unless it is diseased. Transplanting skin would be human experimentation with no back-up clinical trials and skin transplants might very well kill the hair. Fat transplants also will do little to help grow hair.
Your dermatologist is probably correct with his assessment. Many people will have a shorter anagen phase as they age. This means that as hair grows at about 1/2 inch per month, if your anagen phase is shorter (let’s say to the tip of your nose in the front), then you can calculate backwards the length […]
It is a known side effect of Rogaine (minoxidil) that it will grow hair on other parts of the body, possibly from systemic absorption. When the drug was first developed it was used as an antihypertensive and the side effects were not detectable in women treated systemically with abnormal hair growth on the face and […]
I’m glad to hear that nobody believes you — that means we were successful! In all seriousness, this is how any good hair transplant should be. We never want patients to be easily spotted as having had a hair transplant. The end result should always look natural. This patient had 1,737 grafts transplanted over two […]
No, but I suspect it would stun / or shock your body. It will not contribute to hair growth, though. Yes, but use care. Warm compresses will speed up the process. See Scalp Pimples Weeks After Hair Transplants for more.
While the real rule might be “never say never”, I need to know about my patients before undertaking any surgery on them. One might ask, with being a Norwood Class 2 and wanting a hair transplant, could you possibly be body dysmorphic? That is something I will understand when we meet. A Norwood Class 2 […]
In theory, you can move hairs from the scalp or the back and transplant it to any part of your body. In my opinion, body hair transplantation is not as effective as scalp hair transplant, because the life cycle or the growth phase of body hair is very different from scalp hair. Think about it […]
The fundamental concept of a hair transplant surgery is moving hair from one part of the body to another part of the body. Thus, you can transplant your pubic hair to your eyebrow. I do not know what your pubic hair looks like, but in general pubic hair is more coarse and kinky than eyebrow […]
After a hair transplant, spicules of hair are left behind after the grafts have shed. These spicules of hair can be like a foreign body and cause cystic reactions. This process is usually self-limiting and with warm soaks, will disappear over the next month or so. I believe that every person has these spicules in […]
My medical group had tried to repeat the work after we heard about it from the doctor who said that he invented the technique. We did it just as he said it was to be done, and as was expected, the results were essentially a complete failure to grow hair. As far as I am […]
