i am losing hair on top of my vagina. what do i do?
See a good doctor to find out if you have a form of Alopecia that can cause the loss of body hair. Do not rush to transplantation without a good working diagnosis.

I have received a job offer that seams to good to be true. I responded to and add for an administrative assistant listing and at the interview they offered me a position as a hair restoration technician. I believe that I am under- qualified with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Business. Is it customary to only hire women technicians? How do I know if this job is legit?
Training for a hair transplant technician takes considerable time and to become proficient once the skills are learned, may take a few years. If the doctor has experience training technicians and you like the detailed work that is involved, then you can embark on this as a career move. I would hope that the doctor who offered you the position does not let you loose and expect that you will become an instant member of the surgical team, making many mistakes along the learning path. It often helps if you have some medical assistant training so you understand the sterile technique process.

This type of hair loss will almost certainly return in women. However, the hair along the incision may not fully return and may leave a visible scar. You will not know this until 6-8 months after your surgery. If you are a male, on the other hand, it is likely that the hair will not return if this is the result of an acceleration of your genetic balding, which is most often the case. For this reason, I don’t recommend hairline advancements for men for fear of accelerating genetic recession and genetic hair loss.
If you count the number of hairs in this follicular unit, you can see 4 hairs exiting at the skin edge, but the anagen hair just starting to grow has not reached the skin yet so there are at least 5 hairs in this follicular unit. This is why it is so important to use a high powered microscope to evaluate the ‘grafts’ when a hair transplant is done. We don’t want to waste any hairs, regardless of how small they appear because these tiny hairs will eventually grow up and be a full ‘terminal hairs’.

Lumps in the donor area 18 months after FUE often reflect burred grafts with a reaction by your body to encapsulate these grafts as foreign bodies. See your doctor as these lumps can be surgically drained.
I know you wouldnt normally do this, but would you please follow the link and see what you think of the Hair transplant clinic. The reason why is i am booked to have a transplant with them in 5 months and i need an urgent analysis on wether it is a reputable clinic and what they are offering is acceptable. Please NHI team, just your opinions. The reason i have come to you is because you arent ‘Sales merchants’ and arent biased. Also you wouldnt just say another transplabt clinic isnt good just so they come to you instead. You the best in the world so you wouldnt have to. Please follow the link and tell me you opions on what there offering.

Thanks Dr. Rassman, Jae P. Pak and NHI team
That clinic in the UK and a few others like it around the world call themselves NHI. There’s one in Australia and even a couple have opened here in California trying to piggyback onto our reputation by using similar names. There are laws and I could probably pursue action, but it is too expensive for me to try to enforce copyright laws around the world, but I have enforced it in the United States.
I don’t know of that doctor in the UK or his work, but I would question the clinic’s honesty and integrity if they claim to be affiliated with my practice (copying our name) and you may think twice about having them work on your head. Even if they don’t claim to be associated with the New Hair Institute, the fact that they try to create confusion about it is suspect. These NHI clinics are not affiliated with myself or the New Hair Institute. Truth is, I have turned down opportunities to spread my practice out to other parts of the world. The New Hair Institute (NHI) has only two offices in California.

Hello Doctors
I am a 39 year old man and had a problem with my eyebrows since I was probably in my 20s. My eyebrows aren’t very thick. I never plucked them and do not know why they appear thin around the edges or when it exactly happened ,but I wanted to talk to you about what a transplant looks like in that area for men. My hair is otherwise great on the scalp and I have a strong hairline. Have you done any man eyebrow transplants? Thanks
Here’s a male patient we haven’t shown before, with some beautiful eyebrow transplant results. I placed 189 grafts into his eyebrows with almost all single hair grafts taken from the scalp using follicular unit extraction (FUE).
In general, eyebrows are difficult to get control of the direction of the hair as it exits the skin, but these results turned out great! The after photo was taken about 7 months following his hair transplant.

In a Denmark Study, people who “redeemed five or more antibiotic prescriptions over the course of a 15 year period were much more likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared with those who took antibiotics’ only noe or two times. Other diseases were also appearing that may be the result of altering the bacteria in our intestine finding associations with “obesity, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and even depression”.
Since the 1940s with the discovery of antibiotics, the focus was to kill all of the bad ‘germs’ in our body, but maybe we just killed off the good ‘germs’ in the process and without these good ‘germs’, we found ourselves with many other diseases. Children may have been over-treated causing more asthma and a tendency to obesity.
I have read much about the value of our ‘gut’ to help our immune system function properly. The learning curve is very steep at this time and it seems that in almost every medical journal now appearing, we are learning that our intestine is really a functioning part of our immune system, something I never learned in medical school.
I found myself being asked many times by patients to give them an antibiotic for a flu. I know it did not work against a virus, but the patients would demand antibiotics and although I may have been one of the few doctors who resisted such calls for antibiotics, I could not always stand my ground. So what I am telling you here is not to demand Antibiotics when you are not feeling well, as you might be harming yourself if you took them unnecessarily.
This was discussed in New Scientist, April 8-13, Pages 39-41.

If you have no idea what SMP is then you’re probably not going to find this interesting but I wanted to start a thread chronicling my experience of lightening/removing my scalp micro-pigmentation (hair tattoo). I had my first laser session yesterday.
My hair story is a bit of a long one but I’ll try and explain it as best as I can. Pretty much been bald since my early 20’s, always had a high forehead and it really shook my confidence (and still does unfortunately).
My GP put me on Finasteride and after trying it for a few weeks and dealing with bad sides I stopped it. In my early 20’s I went to see numerous transplant doctors who all told me that I need to wait a few years to see where the balding would end up. They also said that I probably wouldnt be too happy with the outcome of a transplant because of how much hair I had lost and having a so-so doner area. I then started to look for other solutions. I came across Scalp Micropigmentation (hair tattoo) and researched it heavily. This was 5 years ago. I had heard of ‘Tricopigmentation‘ which was branded as a semi permanent SMP option. At the time Milena Lardi in Italy was the best clinician in this field so I travelled to Milan and had 3 sessions done (after shaving my head all over for the first time).
The tricopigmentation gave me a nice shadow but I wanted more so I decided to go down the ‘permanent’ SMP route with a UK company. Again I had 3 sessions but this time it was much darker and overall I was pretty happy with it. I was not as self conscious about my shaved head as I thought it looked like I was shaving out of choice and not out of need. It was high maintenance though as I had to shave everyday and also use alot of anti-shine. Some people noticed and others didn’t. In hindsight Im not sure I was fooling anyone as I do think that many people can spot a ‘too perfect’ hairline. The eyes are naturally drawn to it, which isnt good.
Once I got to my late 20’s I decided to get a transplant to compliment the SMP. Again I researched this for quite sometime and ended up having a 4300 graft hair transplant in Turkey. This gave me texture on the scalp and also massively reduced shine (which I was delighted about) but its way too thin to grow long. The recovery was horrific and dont think id ever get another one. While the idea was that the transplant would compliment the SMP (and vica vearsa), I was left with transplant hair I cant grow very long because it makes the SMP on the scalp stand out like a sore thumb! Furthermore it really made the hairline look even more fake.
Fast forward to 2019 and I was left feeling really self conscious about my head. I do notice when people talk to me they linger just a second too long on the hairline and scalp, plus i do see some people do a double take on the street. In the end I decided my only option was either to live with it (not happening) or get the SMP lasered off (without damaging the hair). After a few months of research I went with a laser removal technician who has alot of experience with SMP.
I had my first session yesterday and so far Im pleased with the results — although it was really f***ing sore. It will take a number of weeks for the fading to happen (it doesnt happen right away) but already I’ve noticed the hairline looks a little more natural and while its still red (it looks worse in photos) I think I will be happier with it gone or faded. Less really is more.The actual hair stands out now rather than the SMP dots.
Happy to answer any questions you guys might have. 3 words of advice if you’re thinking of SMP or lasering it off for that matter:
If you’re thinking of getting SMP go with someone who has ALOT of experience and can show you photos of their work. This is very important.
LESS is more when it comes to SMP. Try and keep things as natural as possible (broken and receding hairline) — not a lego man hairline. Its really difficult to get a natural hairline, especially for lighter skin tones.
If you’re thinking of getting SMP or indeed removing SMP — Research, research, research and ask questions before committing.

This man offers good advice. I keep mentioning the idea of a Master Plan and that is something that is critical. Had he found the right doctor at the onset, he would have been able to tackle a hair transplant when and if he wanted one. Here is a man who had the worst balding pattern possible with hair transplants followed by SMP.

Hi. I’m a bit of a hypochondriac, but do the robotic FUE hair transplant systems like ARTAS and others emit radiation?
Thanks
I believe all electronic equipment, such as the computer monitor you are staring at and the microwave oven you cook your meals in, emit radiation. These aren’t hazardous levels of radiation, though.
The ARTAS FUE robot likely emits some level of radiation like any other electronic equipment, but it isn’t anything to be concerned about. The FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health was likely involved at some level before the robot was made commercially available.
