From these photos I took off of the internet, the suggestion is that the virus was in Bats, frogs or snakes eaten by people in China. Then the Virus mutated to spread similar to many of the Flu viruses which propagate through saliva and our breadth. We breath out the virus and spread it before it becomes symptomatic and that is what is dangerous about this particular virus (we don’t know who has it for a few days until symptoms appear). Some people will almost certainly be carriers of the virus, never developing symptoms which is not atypical for this type of virus. UPDATE as of 21/29/2020 Recent reports indicate that the incubation period is 3 days from exposure to symptoms.

This is a 44 year old male who had a juvenile hairline in 2010 when he came in as the corners were eroding. He didn’t like that and although I rarely will transplant these corners, I did on him because he was 36 and still had his juvenile hairline. Today he came in with a complaint of some increasing hair loss on his right side just outside the area that was transplanted in 2010 which shows nicely on the first photo. The left side has held nicely since that 2010 surgery.

I performed a HAIRCHECK test on him which showed that his hair population is now 80% of what it was 8 years ago, so he is losing hair in the first 3 inches of his hairline (what I call the frontal area). He has been on Avodart since 2010 and this recent hairloss, has occurred while he was on this drug. He wants his juvenile hairline back with its tight look. I agreed to do this and also recommended that he address the 20% thinning in the frontal 3 inches with Scalp Micropigmentation. The pictures below show what was done on the day of the surgery.

This 22 year old, very obsessed with a very early thinning of his right and left corner hairline, went to a doctor before seeing me. The doctor recommended 1500 grafts for him. In my opinion, there was not way that such a recommendation was warranted because (2) he was too young to have a hair transplant, and (2) if he was over 26, it will would not require 1500 grafts other than for the doctor to pay his car expenses. There seems to be a license by doctors to victimize patient at will, and as a patient comes in holding the doctor in great esteem, this is a full abuse of his license and his profession. I condemn this practice, all too common by doctors in this field of hair transplantation. In the photos you can see marginal thinning and with his hair shaved, some thinning is clearly present. This will be best treated with finasteride which will probably reverse the process but unfortunately, the doctor won’t make any money for prescribing this medication

Multiple articles have been appearing in scientific and medical journal lately that show that the infusion of blood from young people into older people can improve brain function in people with aging diseases of the brain including dementia. In the recent issue of New Scientist, a small article reflecting work done at Stanford University in California where human blood was collect from people of different ages and then the plasma was infused into mice whoch were, in human terms, 50 years old. The greatest effect was seen when human cord blood from babies umbilical cord was used. The mice learned better and faster and show enhanced activity in the part of the brain called the Hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory.
