I appear to be following my dads pattern and so far, it’s turning out exactly to the way his hair went. He also has a pretty thick donor area (so do I), what would be an early age that would be acceptable to go through with a transplant? I’ve been told by a local surgeon […]

I understand the reason people say you must go on fin, is to stop their hairloss. But I really want to keep my libido. Lets say I get a transplant and don’t go on finasteride. I probably could have a nice hairline for a few years, then I will start to look weird. But I’m pretty much […]
You are correct to wait until you are older to be sure where your balding pattern will show up so you will know what you are in store for. Your family history might indicate where your balding may be going. Look at your brothers, uncles, father and grandparents on both sides of the family to […]
To determine if you are a good candidate for hair restoration, you need to know the following and put it all together (1) donor density, (2) degree of balding (you are advanced), (3) the thickness of your hair shafts (fine, medium or coarse, (4) the color of your hair compared to your skin (you have […]
You get screwed! This is why you do your research and you don’t go to the first local search on Google for a hair transplant… I dealt with a shady practice. A hair/wig stylist who ran the company based in CT, he basically had a cosmetic surgeon that they used the name of and to […]
I‘m about to do one at the age of 25. However since I’m not an extreme case (a slower hair loss) I’m scared that my hair behind the new implanted hair will fall out. How often does this happen? Will this happen if I don’t use finasteride? The key to doing a hair transplant is […]
You absolutely should not get a hair transplant. Drugs like finasteride and/or minoxidil might work. Wait until you see what you look like at the age of 26 when your balding pattern will become more evident. Then work with a good doctor who understands the concept of a MASTER PLAN for hair loss and if […]
“Hi Bill! I really feel remiss for not checking in with you sooner after my last procedure, but somehow during the 6 month period that followed there was not much to say other than that the recovery period was pretty much text book and as you described it, would be; and I didn’t want to […]
Yes, 21 is too young for a hair transplant because you will not know what is your eventual balding pattern at 21. If, for example, you transplant a receding hairline at 21, and then should develop significant balding by the time you are 26, you will have hair where the transplant was done and nothing […]
If you trust your doctor then go with it! The Internet is not a place to receive a second opinion. If you would like a second opinion it is best to consult with another doctor in person. Photo(s) are not a good way to determine if you are balding or if you “need” surgery for […]
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 often get these type of questions asked in different ways. It is a very good question that also can be seen as a trust between doctor and patient. In other words, how do you know if you are receiving the number of grafts agreed up on (which relates to how much you paid for). […]

Now, in addition to the strip surgeries for traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation, our Follicular Unit Extraction Surgeries (FUE) will include: (1) The Artas® Hair Restoration Robot, (2) the Manual FUE performed by Dr. Pak (we joke by calling […]
Imagine, you go to buy a car, and you are clear as to what you want. A good car salesman is a professional who knows how to bond with you so that salesmen can gain their trust to possibly have you buy the next model up with loads of options without appearing too pushy. You […]
No one can predict shock hair loss from surgery precisely. As a general rule the younger you are (early 20’s) with active (noticeable) hair loss in the preceding months would be very concerning for shock hair loss. If one is in their 30’s and 40’s with no significant change in their hair status in the […]
