Hello, I am a 29 year old male who’s suffering from hair loss. I’ve recently been to a few consultants’ regarding hair restoration surgery in UK. Unfortunately the surgeries and the surgeons seem to be inexperienced in which I didn’t feel confident enough to go through with the surgery. Also they came across as more of sales man trying to sell me a car rather than be a respectable surgeon. I would be most grateful if you could recommend me a good surgeon, I am willing to travel to the US to get the best surgeon.

Many Thanks

Be careful not to generalize. There are immoral doctors who employ aggressive sales tactics in the United States also. There are good doctors in the UK who have good reputations and are not of the ‘used car’ variety. If you are traveling from the United Kingdom and want a hair transplant surgery in the US, you can contact Dr. Robert Bernstein in New York, which is closer than my offices in California. Dr. Bernstein was my associate for many years at NHI. Or if you don’t mind the extra 5 or 6 hours of flying time, you are more than welcome to have your procedure done at my office. If you send me your picture (which will remain confidential), my office staff can set up a phone consultation.

Please note the arrow which shows that there were soo many grafts that they didn’t get into the recipient sites with enough depth to grow in the long term. The technicians that did this in Turkey, must have felt it was a badge of honor to put soo many grafts into the recipient site. I doubt that this man needed this number, but more important, most of these probably will not grow. In addition, his risk of necrosis of parts of the scalp from blood supply interruption is high. Add to this a depleted donor supply, so that when the grafts don’t grow, there will be not enough hair for a good surgeon to fix his problem. I cried to this man who just tried to deal with some level of balding and got sucked into some bargain salesmen who took advantage of him, took his money and probably damaged him for life. This goes on all of the time, view this wonderful seminar on this black market for hair transplants in Turkey here: https://baldingblog.com/seminar-hair-transplant-black-market/

Hi guys, i got this problem with my Beard. I used to have strong beard before minoxidil, which im using none-stop for the last 10 years. Now its growing too wild. My Beard is growing all the way up to the eyes area. Im shaving it every day to achieve normal beard Line. It became pain in the ass. I can see beard dots 3 hours from shaving. Super fast growth. I also have very soft skin, so shaving wounds my skin. I cant stop using minoxidil because i will loose all my hair gains. Any way to get around it? Maybe a shaving machine that shaves close? Or a laser hair removal? If any one had experience like that when using minoxidil i would like to heat.

Facial hair growth in places where you might not want it is a known side effect of minoxidil. Stopping it reverses it. It happened to my wife and she stopped it, and the facial hair went away.

So three months ago, I decided to hop on a min/fin 0.1% formula that made my derm (my anxiety and depression were still strong during this time). I applied it once a day in the mornings. The formula really works, in only these three months, I have recovered a lot of my hair to the point that it looks/feels like my hair from last year.

But my anxiety has been the worst, my derm says it is not possible or common.

Can a low dose of topical fin exacerbate these symptoms?

Topical finasteride at a dose of 0.1% will be absorbed systemically and can add to depressive symptoms that you already have. The alternative, if you want to take finasteride, is to take the liposomal topical finasteride, which largely stays in the scalp, This is a compounded medication made specifically to your specifications. I often prescribe it to people who can’t take oral finasteride.

A lot of girls need to touch men’s hair during sex, grabbing them all the time, running their fingers through them etc. Do you have any experience/stories/tips regarding this issue? So, even if you fix toppik powder with some hairspray, you can sometimes scratch it off your scalp or hair, can’t you? I’m around NW 2.5 and I’m currently wearing a type of mohawk hairstyle that is almost permanently waxed. So, it’s pretty obvious just from looking at it she shouldn’t touch it, but you’ll never know. And what about showering together, any stories/possible solutions?

Scalp Micropigmentation solves this problem as it is a permanent concealer (See: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/).

I have been on testosterone replacement therapy for 6-12 months, dose recently increased about 4 months ago. I have not noticed any significant change in sex drive (which is low to medium, functioning OK, 44 years old). I have however been experiencing a lot of hair loss and thinning.

This adverse effect is not desirable to me and I plan to stop the testosterone. Will my hair grow back if this is cause? What about hair regrowth if this is also combined with heredity?

Thank You

Testosterone (an androgen) is a known cause of hair loss if you carry the hair loss gene (androgenic alopecia). Much of what you lost, if there is no hair in that portion of the scalp, will not grow back.

Without examining you I can not tell you where your hair loss is in the hair ‘death’ cycle (called apoptosis) that goes with male pattern balding.

I currently wear hairpiece that I’ve had for about 25 years (I’m 50 now). it’s a bonding tape/glue kind. my shop in phila is closing and I’m wondering if it’s time to consider transplantation. however, how would i transition to that w/o everyone knowing? do you have anyone that is/was in this situation

We’ve transitioned many patients from a wig/ hair piece to hair transplant and SMP.
If you choose the SMP method, you can still have the hair piece during the process and when complete, have a “coming out” party and show the world you decided to shave it all off.
If you choose the hair transplant method, you can have the FUE surgery and still wear the hair piece (without the glue) and over the course of several weeks to months, have the hair piece made with thinner looking hair.

This a of course a very simple way of explaining a delicate process. You would need to sit down and discuss the plan with a doctor in detail.
