This man’s photos shows two problems. (1) above the scar, there are areas of balding which indicate that the scar will become obvious, and (2) the stitches were placed far back creating a railroad pattern which will (a) cause hair loss and )b) probably keep elements of this scar. This man will need a hair […]

Can Divorce Lead To A Broken Heart and Hair Loss? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
“People who divorce face a higher risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than those who remain married” said an article published online in Circulation some time ago as shown in a website for the Journal of the American Heart Association. The overall risk of death from a heart attack is eight percent but it is not as simple a statistic as it appears to be.
“Among women, those who were divorced once were one-quarter more likely” to have a heart attack than men who are at a lower risk. The risk rises significantly for men who were divorced multiple times, as high as 77 percent. Men on their second divorce had a 30 percent increase of heart attack. “Once men remarried, that increase disappeared,” said the article.
Married men and women have less heart attacks when compared to divorced pairs. It does seem that marriage may decrease stress and stress may be the important factor in the risk of having a heart attack.
How will the HAIRCHECK instrument tell me whether or not the follicle will stop growing? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
The HAIRCHECK instrument measures hair bulk. Follicles that stop growing do not add to the hair bulk on your head. Everyone with genetic balding will show patterns of reduced hair bulk when this is measured. I answered this in past tense. If you are asking me about the future, I don’t have any way to predict it. If you have genetic balding, then it is almost a guarantee that you will see more and more of it as you get older. see photos here on use of HAIRCHECK instrument: https://baldingblog.com/2017/01/10/value-haircheck-bulk-measurements-two-patients-seen-today/
Nizoral and hair loss, does it work? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
“I seemed to respond well to rogaine and I’m wondering how long my hair will stay where it is now? I’m very nervous about using fin because of possible sides but am considering adding Nizoral a couple times a week as well. If I responded well to Rogain and continue with regular application do you think I will keep the results long term? Also, is Nizoral worth adding in a couple times? I appreciate all the help a ton!”
Nizoral is an anti-fungal agent and effective for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis caused by a fungus. It may have some hair benefits with people who have hair loss but the mechanism is not clear if it does.
My hair loss makes it very difficult for women to take an interest in me – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
My early hair loss makes all this exceedingly difficult for me as my situation is with women. I’m already a 22 year old kissless virgin, though I’ve been working very hard lately to change that. I get dates from time to time but it goes nowhere. Part of this is me panicking, in a sense of feeling like I’m running out of time (I’m 22), because, once I’m bald I know things will be significantly more difficult with women MY AGE. I know, generally speaking, that women don’t care as much when you get into your 30s and over, but without sounding like a douche, I want to be able to experience girls closer to my age, and I don’t want to have to wait that long. Even though, by then I’d be a virgin well into my 30s. That means I’d be screwed anyways. I may go back to school and this would be a distraction for me, but the problem will still be there when I meet a woman.
Much about hair loss is not what’s on your head but what’s inside your head. Women perceive insecurity and insecurity is not sexy or attractive. You may perceive this as a hair problem, but look at a lot of guys your age or slightly older who have girlfriends and I’l bet that some may have early recession or even more hair loss and still get dates. You need to recognize who you are, what is your value as a human being. Speak with your parents or older friends and open up with them and I am sure you will find out that what is happening to your hair is not your big problem. You might even seek a therapist who can work through your own personality development. I know that men in their late teens and early 20s, have not fully developed the pre-frontal part of the brain, the part that is central to the personality you develop and the relationships you will develop as you get older. Play it cool and you may be surprised when you meet a girl at school, that the meeting and the relationship will flow more easily. To manage your insecurity you must recognize your value and that will project to the women you meet. The older you get, even if you lose more hair, you will see your relationship with the world around you different.
Where is the Best FUE ARTAS or Neograft Hair Transplant Surgery? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog
I’ve been trying to find the best ARTAS doctor but I am still confused. Some doctors say NeoGraft is the best surgery. It’s hard to choose or believe which is better. Where can I find the best doctor for this?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a basically a harvesting technique in hair transplant surgery. FUE is a way for doctors to “take out” your donor hair. The other method is oftern called a “strip” method or Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). The strip method harvests the hair follicles by taking a small linear cut of your scalp. You often see horrific hair transplant scars on the Internet related to strip scars. However this is not always the case.
The ARTAS robot is basically a tool or an instrument a doctor uses to harvest donor hair follicles using the FUE method. Instead of a doctor doing the surgery, an automated robot takes out the hair follicles. You still need the doctor to design and make the recipient sites to implant the hair. In other words, ARTAS does NOT perform the critical part of the surgery. The part that matters. The part that give you a new hair line. A great ARTAS robot that is used in surgery may still give you a horrible result if the doctor is not a skilled artist and surgeon. There have been cases where doctors (gynecologists or pediatricians) that are NOT hair transplant surgeons, doctors that have never performed a hair transplant surgery, buy the ARTAS robot believing they can be a great hair transplant doctor. Can you be a great cook if you buy the best cooking knives, pots, and pans? Can you be a great football player if you have expensive football gear?
The Neograft system is also an instrument a doctor use to harvest donor hair. The Neograft system has not been traditionally popular with hair transplant doctors. Instead, the Neograft system is sold to cosmetic surgeons and dermatologist who do not specialize in hair transplant surgery. In many cases there is a Neograft team of technicians that are contracted to come on the day of surgery to harvest the hair for the doctors. These people are called “ICs” Independent Contractors. Most ICs are not even nurses or hold any medical degree. This (ICs doing surgery) is illegal in certain states and a grey area in the field of hair transplant surgery. After the grafts are harvested, the contracted team usually place the grafts for the doctor. Some doctors who perform hair transplant surgery on a regular basis may have their own team but it is rare for a doctor to actually do the harvesting with the NeoGraft. You may want to ask about this when you are interviewing doctors. You may want to ask how many hair transplant surgery they perform a week. You may want to ask who does the actual FUE harvesting. There are cases where patients never see their doctor on the day of surgery because the entire surgery is performed by the IC or the technician.
Doctors who specialize in hair transplant surgery may have their own FUE instrument or automation device. Some examples are Dr. Harris who use his own SAFE system, Dr. Umar who use his own UGraft system, Dr. Shaio who use his own 4DFUE system. The ARTAS, 4DFUE, and Safe system are used at NHI by Dr. Pak and Dr. Rassman since they hold key U.S. Patents or technology used in the ARTAS. Dr. Pak also uses his own unique FUE device as well.
In the end, the best FUE surgery outcome should be judged by the final artistic result. The final result is NOT about the technical method of taking out the grafts (hairs). The ARTAS or Neograft are just machines or instruments. You cannot make a great football player with fancy uniform and a state of the art stadium. You don’t become a great race car driver because you own a Ferrari. It just means you can boast (advertise) about the Ferrari (ARTAS, Neograft) to draw patients in.
