Infected cysts in recipient area one month post hair transplant (photo)

This patient’s recipient area became infected and had this been my patient, I would have drained these infected cysts and place the patient upon antibiotics. I would have cultured the cysts to be sure that the antibiotic I would use is the correct antibiotic. If this infection is not treated quickly., the infection could kill the transplants.

Injecting finasteride

Hi, if i use an syringe and inject finasteride into scalp is it dangerous?

I would not inject finasteride unless it is prepared by a pharmacy specifically for injection. I don’t know why you would want to do this as it may be dangerous.

30 Years of hair loss progression

These are pictures of Donald Kendall, President of Pepsi. The last picture was taken 7 years before his death at age 99. There are 30 years between these photos. When comparing these photos, it is evident that hair loss is progressive with age providing that you have the genes for balding. My maternal grandfather died with his juvenile hairline still present at the age of 102 which clearly shows that he didn’t have the balding genes.

Interesting Double Whirl in the Crown of the Head

These are very rare and require that the surgeon, when they are present and the area is going to be transplanted, reproduce this double whirl. Most people have a single whirl either on the left or right side of the crown. Take a look at yours.

I Had 3500 Grafts 3 Months Ago, Why Is My Donor Area Soo Thin? (Photo)

The donor area has been significantly impacted by FUE, suggesting that your original donor density was significantly less than what the number of FUE grafts could have supported. Your doctor should have measured your donor area density prior to doing FUE. The limits on FUE is related to your donor density, otherwise it produces significant scarring as this photo shows. If the donor area remains see-through, you should get Scalp Micropigmentation to fill in the missing spaces.

Interviewing Dr. Rassman, Part 1 (Video)

We put together a short video series for this site that showcases a little of the history of the innovations made at the New Hair Institute in the field of hair transplantation. This video does have some potentially graphic images of an FUE procedure (grafts being removed, there is a little bit of blood) — so please be warned if you’ve got a weak stomach.

I hope you enjoy part 1 of 3 below:

4 months finasteride and microneedling

I am seeing more and more men with an advanced balding pattern, reverse that pattern with microneedling as part of their routine. It is clear to me, that the microneedling has great value when done properly.

Is Aderans Completing Phase 2?

hello dr
i think Aderans is very close to complete phase 2 and begin with the last phase which is phase 3

this is the link: Aderans Research Reaches Major Milestone in Phase 2 Clinical Study Enrollment

From the release — “Aderans Research reached a major milestone this month with the completion of enrollment in one of its key Phase 2 clinical protocols.”

I don’t know that they’re all that close to completing phase 2, based on the info in this press release. It says they’ve completed enrolling participants for phase 2, which sounds like it could still be pretty early in the phase.

4 months on finasteride (photo)

4 months on finasteride. You clearly have growth starting up. Hair grows at a rate of 1/2 inch/month so in a few more months you will see a nice contribution to your hairline
