It is important for me to not only see some men who have had a full head of hair created by hair transplants, but to talk to them so that I can understand their decision process and what the experience was like. Looking at pictures is a sterile, non-personal process.

The appearance of a thick head of hair is achievable with hair transplants. To manage people who have your needs, we have a series of men who regularly attend our monthly Open House events who have achieved this goal and can be met at my office. We have been doing this for 27 years. Spontaneous visits by many of my other patients repay their experience in such meeting by dropping into our monthly Open House events, unannounced. We have an office in West Los Angeles and Irvine, California. We hold these events once a month in Los Angeles, and once every other month in Irvine. In addition to meeting patients, you can see a surgery in process, speak with patients who are in the process of having it done, see a Scalp Micropigmentation procedure being done.

I have been doing some research regarding scalp hair density. Currently, hair transplant doctors use Haircheck device to observe changes in density as well as caliber in comparison to the donor (control). Most doctors say haircheck numbers should be exactly the same at various points of the scalp for a nonbalding male. After doing some light research, I learned that you are born with a finite amount of hair follicles, and never develop any more hair follicles.

In my theory, and please correct me if I’m wrong, for your hmi number from haircheck to be exactly the same at all points of your scalp, your head would have to grow perfectly symmetrical to the way it was shaped at birth. If your head grows more in length than width, this would create a slight variation of the top of the scalp vs the donor area, as it is stretch further. What are your thoughts? I have to say from reading your blog you seem to be the most down to earth, a straight shooter in the industry.

The Haircheck measurements are a mechanical measurement which is slightly error-prone. I generally take 10% variation of the measurements in consideration as I use the instrument. Still, a 10% error rate is acceptable, but I do believe that hair is uniformly spread around the scalp.

I don’t believe that this man who thought he had good work done will be happy with these results. His hairline is straight (no hairline is straight) and the donor area has a large number of patchy areas reflective of a surgeon who used a large punch to perform the FUE. This is a post-operative photo (possibly 1-2 weeks after the surgery) with a lot of scabs sill on the recipient area. The man posted this photo on a forum, but he was proud of it. Detectable hair transplants are never good and this man shows the transplant with an abnormal perfectly straight frontal hairline with straight temple peaks and a see-through donor area from possibly too many FUEs taken for harvesting his donor area. It would have been nice if this man posted a better photo.

This is an alternative to hair transplants for many men who can’t afford a hair transplant surgery. However, the on-going costs or service and replacement can exceed the cost of a hair transplant over 5+ years. Education is the key to understanding everything and any alternatives available for the balding male.

My First Ever Hair System Removal, Cleaning & Reattachment. What could possibly go wrong? from tressless

This young man went to a clinic that clearly didn’t know what they were doing. His hairline is almost down to his eyebrows, less than 1 inch. Every hair in the frontal hairline that is too low will have to be removed, hair by hair. He will probably be scarred as well. This is a very costly repair. and it will take some time to see if he can get all of these hairs out. As soon as I saw this, my mind wondered into the type of people who can do this type of mutilation to a young man that just wanted to look better. Worse, they are probably doing this over and over again. I blocked out his face to preserve his dignity. He posted this on Reddit. I wonder if this could be a photoshopped photo, exaggerating it to get comments.
