Saw Palmetto is a very weak DHT blocker. I can’t explain the numbers you are reporting with your testosterone levels. What did your Urologist tell you?

There is little doubt that the ARTAS robotic System is less stressful for the surgeon than than the manual Folliclar Unit Extraction (FUE). Some of our patients are driven by the technology as we have seen some of them ask for the ARTAS robotic system. We offer both the manual and the ARTAS FUE for our patients at the exact same price of $8/graft at this time. From a quality perspective, both techniques are identical. We have been doing FUE since the mid-1990s, so we are pretty good at it. The manual FUE in Dr. Pak’s hands is a faster procedure when compared to the ARTAS system making for a shorter surgery.

Please comment in our comment section and ask more questions about these two FUE procedures. If we are doing an ARTAS FUE on the day you visit us, ask if you can see it in action and if the patient agrees to allow visitors, we will let you observe the ARTAS in action.

let’s assume that the burn is in the front and top of the head. A balloon is then placed in the crown to expanded in the scalp over a couple of months. Each week, about two times, fluid is injected into a ‘port’ on the balloon. With each injection, the balloon expands until it is stretched enough with enough redundancy to cover the burned areas. Then the burned scar is removed and the new scalp is advanced forward. I have been involved in a number of these challenging cases and the results are very rewarding. I have seen fully half of the scalp burned and treated successfully this way, sometimes with added hair transplants for fine tuning the process.

This is an example of a man who is balding and is making it worse by wearing a dreadlocks hairstyle. He would be better off shaving his head to preserve his hair than by pulling it out and getting traction alopecia from this hairstyle.

This is a review of what is possible when you combine Scalp MicroPigmenation (SMP) with a hair transplant surgery using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique performed at New Hair Institute by Dr. Jae Pak.

The following patient is in his 30’s and always wore hats. Even in the house with the family or with friends he wore hats because he was not happy with his balding pattern. He eventually decided on a FUE procedure because he didn’t want the linear scar on the back of his head in case he wanted to shave his head in the future. If all else fails, he thought at least he can shave his head without any worries about scars. He eventually went on to have 3 FUE surgeries over the years as his hair loss progressed and received about 5000 grafts. Despite the new look and the permanent transplanted hair, he wanted fullness and even wanted to shave his head for a buzz cut look.

Eventually, he had the Scalp MicroPigmentation procedure and he had the best of all scenarios: He can cut his hair long or short and he will always have the look of fullness.

Note that hair transplant procedure is a great option for those who are balding. But you will never get full thick hair since the basic concept of a hair transplant surgery is just relocating hair from one location (back of head) to another location (front and top of head). There is nothing new being added. Hair transplant is basically artistically rearranging the hairs around. Scalp MicroPigmentaion is used to augment the limitation of a hair transplant to provide the look of fullness by minimizing the contrast between hair and scalp.

This patient finally threw away the hat he wore for so many years.

I recently discovered that Dutasteride has a half life of 4-5 weeks. I am considering getting off of Dutasteride (daily usage for about 3 years) completely because I feel like it is heavily contributing to my anxiety (timing is very similar). I am on no other hair loss remedies currently but have had one temporal area hair transplant. If I discontinue Dutasteride or take it less frequently, what therapies seem to be working for people nowadays? With such a long half-life, couldn’t Dutasteride hypothetically be taken once a week or potentially less and maybe still have similar results?

In theory, you are correct; with a long half-life, one would expect that a once-a-week dosing might be enough, but for reasons I personally don’t understand, dosage recommendations have been more frequent. As the FDA has not cleared dutasteride for hair loss use, this is a real problem for doctors, i.e. to find the correct approved dose. The blood levels may have a half-life of 4-5 weeks, but the tissues in which the dutasteride is embedded have a much longer presence in your body that could go up to a 1/2 year or more. That means if you get side effects, it may be a long time to get rid of them because dutasteride is in your tissues 6 or more months.
