I had my first transplant about 33 years ago when it was in it's infancy. I have had 2 top ups over the years. I am 67 now and never ever regretted it. One of the best things I ever did. I visually have more hair than my 37 year old son.
I used the surgeon David used about a decade ago. At 60, you would be impressed with my hair. There is no doubt I would be very, very thin by now as all three of my brothers are bald. Without a hair transplant, I would have likely joined their club. I went in using Minoxidil, derma rolling weekly, and Revian Red--all of which I continue to use though now I'm on oral minoxidil/finasteride instead of liquid minoxidil which I recommend. Zero side effects for me, personally. Consistency, post-op, is key and I think Dr. Linkov would agree. My surgery went well and I cannot even see my scar though I had very good (thick) donor hair. Great video, Doc.
I went to Hasson and Wong in 2019 and 2022 for FUE hair transplants. I am extremely happy with the results and I continue with taking 1 mg. of Finasteride daily to prevent any further hair loss . 🤗❤
I have straight hair . I am not sure but I think they do all hair types . They have been around a long time and they are probably the best in Canada. ❤🤗@@alexandertakele6136
I have had two procedures done by Bosley, and am quite pleased with the results. My expectations are not grandiose. I know that I will never have the thick hair of a teenager again, but the difference is still striking. My first procedure was done ten years ago and my second was last year. The first one was 2,500 grafts and the second was 2,200. I intend to have a third (and final?) procedure done in the near future, and was told that I could have an additional 2,200 grafts transplanted during that procedure. If I hadn't had these transplants, my hairline would be like a "horseshoe" now. It IS expensive, but if it makes you feel better about yourself...do it!
Thanks for details on Bosley HT . I know they are really impressisve work as per my friends review. Can you help by telling that you are using dutasteride /finsteride Tablet and also minoxidil on scalp massage once a week instead of everyday to make slow growth cycle and reduce hair shedding ?
I take a propecia pill daily, and use Minoxodil on my scalp twice a day. It is important to realize that one's hair undergoes a "shedding" period each year, and not to worry about that. I also had a situation after the second procedure where the donor area scar was extremely visible (like a sideways horseshoe on the sides and back of my head), which worried me greatly. I spoke to Bosley, and they assured me that this was temporarily due to a "shock to the donor area" and that it would disappear, which it did. I can not say enough good things about them. They are true professionals, and incredibly friendly and helpful as well, and I am looking to my third and final (?) procedure in the near future.@@JSD999
I have been watching your videos for a while. Your hair looks really great doctor. Keep going, I wish you will get back a head full of hair. You seem nice, you deserve that.
Dr Gary should react to Verteporfin being shown to regrow hair on scarred areas when applied after Hair transplants. Could be a game changer for the industry!
Doctor Gary I have a question that I hope you can see and comment on because I’ve never seen it asked and it does scare me a lot. “ Has anyone of your patients developed shingles after a procedure of a hair transplant?” I had a girlfriend who had her wisdom teeth removed and developed shingles on her face so that scares the hell out of me that it can happen after a surgery. Please like this so the Doctor can comment!
That’s most likely just a result of the physical and mental stress of the surgery she had. The shingles virus is always in you if you had chicken pox. If you didn’t have chicken pox growing up - no shingles
If one had any trauma, surgery or reduced immune system can cause one to have shingles. It’s not supposed to be common because many people have surgeries and they do not have shingles.
@@allways28 Yeah I legit had no post op pain, itching or swelling I was one of the lucky ones lol and Dr. Gary did an excellent job. Use antibiotics ointment when it’s dry and when you can use a cup of water to reduce the itching. Maybe your scalp is dry that’s causing the itching. I will say this homie. BE PATIENT. I swear I thought my hair growth stopped then around month 10 BOOM my hair blossomed. Again for everyone is different. Trust the process.
To help others from getting scammed....he must have gone through some bad experience with people and must have done his research prior to getting his done or maybe someone he knows must have had a bad experience.
I'm still on team "it is what it is" and believe in cutting it short and going on with life. BUT I certainly don't care what others do and LOVE the way doc deals with it all in such a fair way. Keep up the good work.

Do you have a suggestion as to when it will be possible to grow new donor hair from stem cells? So we could grow new hair in a clinic and have an unlimited supply of hair to insert?
Great video and even when I don't need a hair transplant, the way you explain the process and science behind it it's super interesting. I'm glad to see that your hair regrowth is evolving so well, congrats Dr Gary!
0:35 OMG I just figured out it was your clinic's watermark on that guy's head. That part of the video was talking about scarring, so I assumed you etched in your clinic into that guy's head, like car dealerships put their dealership logos on cars.
Hi. You mentioned that an underlying inflammation condition could impact hair transplant results. Could ulcerative colitis or the medication for it impact results of a hair transplant ?
@@Jordanz0rdIf you have almost nothing in top you're not losing anything. Also if your hair stabilizes to a point in which no matter how much you pull, they don't come off, then you won't need finasteride for at least quite a few years. But still you have to allow to fall off what is meant to fall off. Also I don't understand the notion that you should strengthen you hair before going on with the procedure. If even the hair on the back of the head are too thin to be made useful, then you're done. It's madness to get into stacks of medicine at 25.
Can I ask you a question?, what are your thoughts on wearing caps, headbands shower caps ect. I’ve heard that hair loss can be caused due to lack of blood circulation and dht rushes to areas with least amount of oxygen witch is very interesting I recon that wearing things tightly cause spike dht levels, what are your thoughts on this? I’m probably right to assume you saw the video talking about scalp tension?
Hey, Gary! I just started watching some of your videos today for the past hour (currently 10:02 pm, November 24, 2023) after looking at ways to regrow hair, other concerning thoughts regarding hair loss, and more research. Then I found your channel and am hoping to watch more of you. Subscribed and hope to get good advice and information from you. Been having hair loss for the past year and a half at age 17 1/2, and has been getting worse since then. My hair health has been getting more damaged and shorter, my hairline receding more, and fewer hair follicles everywhere, no matter what few products I have been trying since last year, when I had really nice, full long hair from 2020 to early 2022. Been very self-conscious about my hair and look for several years since I have hated having short hair but am not giving up and will try everything I can to regrow my hair and get my hair follicles back, reduce damages and moisturize hair, and prevent future hair loss, similar to how I looked earlier this decade. Wish me luck!
Actually, I have been on them for 2 months after going to another dermatologist’s office after a few months of not going to one due to other complications. Hoping the hair comes back by the time I go back in February, otherwise I’ll have to use other items and ask if they can increase the dose, if that’ll help. Also, minoxidil hair regrowth foam treatment hasn’t been working even though I apply it once a day, and recently thought to change it to two whenever possible since nothing is happening once again and hair loss has been getting worse, even when using it for the past 14 months.
Everybody’s different and all but using shea oil moisturizing shampoo makes my hair at least appear a lot thicker and mixo- whatever the shit in rogaine works well. If that doesn’t work for you man, it’s probably not worth it to try just embrace the scalp it’s not rly that deep. Good luck🫡
Understanding that different people need different number of graphs, what would you consider a transplant average cost? I have been considering a transplant and I have been watching your videos for several years now. If I ever go for the hair transplant, I would definitely do it at your clinic. Thank you.
In turkey you can get it done for like 3500 usd, and that includes EVERYTHING, even room and board. In the US I havnt seen anything under 5000$ yet and that’s just the procedure quote, I’m sure there are other expenses that will come with that.
Great vid Dr Gary - I was told I have a great deal of hair on the back of my head but not enuf 4 a transplant so at 58 I hope science catches up with the FDA and provides men with better options than Rogaine or Finasteride say hair cloning or stem cell that require lil to no surgery- how bout that 😀🙏
Dr. Linkov, I'm not a subscriber to your channel but I do come back often to get your expert opinions on real medical issues. You da man. Interesting to see more comments about the regrowth of your hair. I like moustache 😊.
All utter balls . I had my second transplant and have now around 4500 hairs . I was almost bald at 45 at 53 I have nice healthy hair . I date supermodel looking woman and without this I promise you that would not have been the case . GET IT DONE , don't arse around . Get FUE and live with slightly longer hair . ( you'll look better anyway ) Bald men are not attractive , period . It's a tough old life . I had mine done by a genius female surgeon in an ex Soviet country and for 1500 USD she was an absolute pro outperforming the 15k "scientists" in the UK . If you're a candidate with a good coverage area , ignore the advisors and GET IT DONE . Six of my pals followed my lead and they're smiling from ear to ear .
@@maalikserebryakov you'll get stronger as you get older my son . Give it time . Remember if you look like Daniel Craig at 50 you can date as much as you like . You'll get the picture in the end , keep at it .
I'm not a Dr but I am a contractor and anytime you hear "if I don't like it" such as the scar the Dr should run because that can mean literally anything. I've had customers say fix it "good enough" and then they want something perfect they didn't pay for. Do not use terms of opinions as they rarely work out.
I got my transplant about 21 years ago. It came out great! I had about 3000 put on the frontal thinning area of my head and hair line. I had long hair at the time . I was in a rock band and the thought of my thinning area was depressing. Now fast forward .... Im a Firefighter now and my head is shaved bald ! So what you need to think about is , yes the transplanted hair will probably last a lifetime ,BUT the other original hair in the transplanted area will thin out years later and then your back where you started............ shaving my head was also scary because I didnt know what the shape of my head would look like. And the scar on the back of my head from the transplant..... in the end shaving my head was probably the best thing I ever did!!!! The scar actually doesnt bother me ..... its a conversation piece ! LOL
Hello Gary:) I love youre videoes:) You are informative, I learned more than talking to Dr. here in Norway. And I have to say: You are a good example that a goodlooking man is goodlooking with and without hair:)
nice to see your hair growing back doc i have one question please im 27 and im balding especially at the top of my head and also in the front and I want to get a hair transplant do you think I should wait and see how the situation will evolve or I can go a head
I’ve had an transplant about 5 years ago and nobody told me to take finasteride and minoxidil. The first year or 2 the results where really good. But the thinning of my hair continued. This year I’ve started finasteride, minoxidil and some other forms of therapy. I really can see big differences after 6 months. Even though the shedding was really bad at the beginning.. trust the proces 🙏
his website is ambiguous as to who exactly is performing the extractions. It says that it is sometimes a hair technician. I would love more clarity on that bc considering doing one by his practice.
keep your hair short. It looks great. I'm used to seeing you bald, so seeing you with stubble is a sweet spot for me. It's like a 5 o' clock shadow, but on your head. Not drastically different, but like a 'spice' that alters things just enough to see a difference.
Do you have any videos or tips for females on products or transplant? I have PCOS and i have hair REALLY LONG hair but quite thin fine hair and large forhead 😂
Can you reccomend a good anti itching agent? I haven't seen or heard much on this and I really suffer with itchy scalp, I have tried various oils and Apple Cider Vinegar helps a little but I need to completely get rid of it
I just went through hair transplant fue procedure 20 days ago. Procedure was okay , hairline was okay. I'm almost 40. Problem is I noticed the doctor missed a small vertical strip on my temporal area. Does this happen a lot in practice? What are the options to remedy it?
@immortalxd6190 you mean post-op? Nah, it is more of discomfort. On surgery, they gonna put anesthesia through your head by needles, so of course it is gonna hurt, but nothing unbearable.
Someone I know had FUE by you & no hair has grown yet, despite being 6 months. She had hardly any hair in the first place. Why did you attempt it? It cost her $25,000, and she’s 65 years old! You contradicted yourself. Her hair was very thin & fine.
I have a genuine question, why is it so difficult for science to find a long-term cure for baldness? minoxidil works half way and if you stop taking it, it makes it works, then this guru doctors give you a list of vitamins to take, you go and take them and nothing happens, if you use finasteride there is a high risk of not getting a boner long term, hair transplant cost a fortune and theyre not natural...is it something that the scientific community is hiding from us?? This industry worths like a billion per year and still no real solution for this problems of millions
I believe there's a few things that are incorrect In what you said. First off if someone has norwood five or six at 20 years old.. obviously have you been losing it for a few years now and even going on finasteride that might buy some time but eventually that will succumb. Why I say this is because a person is already in no word five is not going to be able to get enough grafts to be happy at 20 years old these people are not realistic they want the hair they had for years ago. That is 100% unattainable. Secondly you forget to say that FUE is not permanent it is very likely within around 10 years even the transplanted here Will miniaturize. Fut gives you better results because you're taking from The Sweet Spot but of course the scar is worse but the hair will last longer. Regardless all the patients need to be on finasteride any Doctor Who says oh it's an option if you want to it's just conning the customer. You know if they have moderate to severe hair loss that within a year or two they will be back for another hair transplant to fill in the rest and eventually they won't have no donor area left. FUE even with finasteride is not for life, even FUT with the next ride while you may get many more years probably 15 or so or 20 before it starts to miniaturize a bit. The mere fact that you say that someone who is just turning 20 years old and is already a Norwood five or six is a candidate is very off-putting they will never get the density they need. You're asking people who are 20 years old to have rational thoughts and say you're just going to get some coverage it won't be thick because you have aggressive hair loss. And you need to analyze the donor area if you see that it is thinning and it will eventually get thin that tells you what the follicles are going to do if you ever transplanted. That means the Fue follicles that you transplanted will die also. Very disheartening with the info that you're providing, hair transplant is the last resort. There are some people that they are just destined to be bald and there's nothing you're going to be able to do about it. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's better than having a scarred back of your head that you're going to try to camouflage. Even the best with FUE the scar is going to be visible, and every time we reenter to get more grafts the more scars you getting. There's only one thing that you mentioned and that is being on finasteride in Rogaine that is the stabilize if you have severe aggressive hair loss even that might not stop the DHT from binding. A person should be on it for at least a year minimum to see if they can stabilize but a person who is 20 years old stabilizing a Norwood 5 is self-defeating. They are probably better off getting SMP from a great practitioner. And while you're talking to mainly a U.S crowd most people cannot afford it and they had the turkey and get botched. You seem like a good guy you've been through the wringer with your condition and you look great bald and you look great with your hair coming back. Maybe I think you are too invested in it mentally trying to help people but some of your information is very inaccurate no 20-year-old who was a Norwood five should be getting a hair transplant on finasteride or not.
How would you suggest that I start looking for a genuine clinic and surgeon? The only one I know of is Bosley. I’ve written down questions I’m going to ask at consolation but where do I start what should I search

I’m wondering the same thing ^
Do you use medication till today
@deadrift886 yes, I take fin every other day, sometimes less than that
Can I ask you a question?, what are your thoughts on wearing caps, headbands shower caps ect. I’ve heard that hair loss can be caused due to lack of blood circulation and dht rushes to areas with least amount of oxygen witch is very interesting I recon that wearing things tightly cause spike dht levels, what are your thoughts on this? I’m probably right to assume you saw the video talking about scalp tension?
Hey, Gary! I just started watching some of your videos today for the past hour (currently 10:02 pm, November 24, 2023) after looking at ways to regrow hair, other concerning thoughts regarding hair loss, and more research. Then I found your channel and am hoping to watch more of you. Subscribed and hope to get good advice and information from you. Been having hair loss for the past year and a half at age 17 1/2, and has been getting worse since then. My hair health has been getting more damaged and shorter, my hairline receding more, and fewer hair follicles everywhere, no matter what few products I have been trying since last year, when I had really nice, full long hair from 2020 to early 2022. Been very self-conscious about my hair and look for several years since I have hated having short hair but am not giving up and will try everything I can to regrow my hair and get my hair follicles back, reduce damages and moisturize hair, and prevent future hair loss, similar to how I looked earlier this decade. Wish me luck!
You tried everything except the 2 drugs proven to work? finasteride and minoxidil?
Actually, I have been on them for 2 months after going to another dermatologist’s office after a few months of not going to one due to other complications. Hoping the hair comes back by the time I go back in February, otherwise I’ll have to use other items and ask if they can increase the dose, if that’ll help.
Also, minoxidil hair regrowth foam treatment hasn’t been working even though I apply it once a day, and recently thought to change it to two whenever possible since nothing is happening once again and hair loss has been getting worse, even when using it for the past 14 months.
And cause side effects, don't forget to say that,
get a hairsystem
Everybody’s different and all but using shea oil moisturizing shampoo makes my hair at least appear a lot thicker and mixo- whatever the shit in rogaine works well. If that doesn’t work for you man, it’s probably not worth it to try just embrace the scalp it’s not rly that deep. Good luck🫡
I'm not looking to penny pinch by any means; just looking for where you believe the best bang for the buck may be in your opinin. (?)
David n Steve are really sharp.. great channel
Understanding that different people need different number of graphs, what would you consider a transplant average cost? I have been considering a transplant and I have been watching your videos for several years now. If I ever go for the hair transplant, I would definitely do it at your clinic.
Thank you.
it's tens of thousand of dollars on average. Good luck
@@fabianpatrizio2865 tens of thousands?
In turkey you can get it done for like 3500 usd, and that includes EVERYTHING, even room and board. In the US I havnt seen anything under 5000$ yet and that’s just the procedure quote, I’m sure there are other expenses that will come with that.
Great vid Dr Gary - I was told I have a great deal of hair on the back of my head but not enuf 4 a transplant so at 58 I hope science catches up with the FDA and provides men with better options than Rogaine or Finasteride say hair cloning or stem cell that require lil to no surgery- how bout that 😀🙏
I heard Stem Cell and Hair Cloning is becoming available in Developed Markets like America and UK. Where do you come from by the way?
You have a great doctor voice. Seriously, feels like you could give me bad news and I'd be fine with it. 👍
So good to have found this channel. It helps so much
Dr. Gary looking good, keep your work with your hair growth.
Hi Dr. Linkov. Do you have any recommendations on hair transplant doctors in the Los Angeles area?
Dr. Linkov, I'm not a subscriber to your channel but I do come back often to get your expert opinions on real medical issues. You da man.
Interesting to see more comments about the regrowth of your hair. I like moustache 😊.
You mentioned that having an active inflammation may be an issue. Will seborrheic dermatitis be a problem for hair transplant? Thank you doc
All utter balls . I had my second transplant and have now around 4500 hairs . I was almost bald at 45 at 53 I have nice healthy hair . I date supermodel looking woman and without this I promise you that would not have been the case . GET IT DONE , don't arse around . Get FUE and live with slightly longer hair . ( you'll look better anyway ) Bald men are not attractive , period . It's a tough old life . I had mine done by a genius female surgeon in an ex Soviet country and for 1500 USD she was an absolute pro outperforming the 15k "scientists" in the UK . If you're a candidate with a good coverage area , ignore the advisors and GET IT DONE . Six of my pals followed my lead and they're smiling from ear to ear .
@@maalikserebryakov you'll get stronger as you get older my son . Give it time . Remember if you look like Daniel Craig at 50 you can date as much as you like . You'll get the picture in the end , keep at it .
I would appreciate if you shared her contacts. Thanks!
I'm not a Dr but I am a contractor and anytime you hear "if I don't like it" such as the scar the Dr should run because that can mean literally anything. I've had customers say fix it "good enough" and then they want something perfect they didn't pay for. Do not use terms of opinions as they rarely work out.
Boy, your hair is looking great
Point 3 was about FUE at 20 with hair loss that will continue. FUT would be a better option since you likely will need more HT later.
am the only not caring AT ALL about the back scars? (at least the FUE ones).
Nice hair regrow progress!
Can we talk about Dr Gary hair regrowth?! You’re in the right path!
Doc, your hair is growing. Congratulations.
Gary got hair and beard back 😊 looks great
I got my transplant about 21 years ago. It came out great! I had about 3000 put on the frontal thinning area of my head and hair line. I had long hair at the time . I was in a rock band and the thought of my thinning area was depressing. Now fast forward .... Im a Firefighter now and my head is shaved bald ! So what you need to think about is , yes the transplanted hair will probably last a lifetime ,BUT the other original hair in the transplanted area will thin out years later and then your back where you started............ shaving my head was also scary because I didnt know what the shape of my head would look like. And the scar on the back of my head from the transplant..... in the end shaving my head was probably the best thing I ever did!!!! The scar actually doesnt bother me ..... its a conversation piece ! LOL
How long did you stay with it?
@ about 10 years. Then the other non transplant hair started thinning . I was using Haircubed spray also to make my hair look thicker .
You look AMAZING!!!
great vid !
also what would have been done during FUE surgery for the scars to look pretty bad/visible?
punch holes too big ?
thanks !
Nuance - not something that's easy to find on UA-cam, One exception is here!
So norwood 2-3 is too early for hair transplant??
Looking good Dr 👍 I'm happy you are getting your hair back ....
How ,with finasterid or?
Hi Doctor..who mentored you and do you find it difficult to keep up with all the types of surgeries required by a cosmetic surgeon of your stature?
Hey Doc I am suffering from alopecia and noticed your hair. How did you get it to grow back? Please help, thanks.
Gonna sound weird but I am genuinely happy for this guy growing his hair in, he looks so handsome
Dang, Dr. Gary is turning bak the clock. He looks GREAT!
Hello Gary:) I love youre videoes:) You are informative, I learned more than talking to Dr. here in Norway. And I have to say: You are a good example that a goodlooking man is goodlooking with and without hair:)
Great channel! What about having a hair transplant where the patient has diffuse thinning (still MPB) but overall thinning.
You're an ethical cosmetic surgeon. If only I lived in the states 😅
nice to see your hair growing back doc
i have one question please
im 27 and im balding especially at the top of my head and also in the front and I want to get a hair transplant do you think I should wait and see how the situation will evolve or I can go a head
Get on finasteride and minoxidil asap! At least for 6 months before getting a transplant
Go get a consultation!
@@b.k.9651Why?
Because balding doesn’t stop. And if you listen to th doc; if you do medical treatment before a transplant, the better your result will be!
I’ve had an transplant about 5 years ago and nobody told me to take finasteride and minoxidil. The first year or 2 the results where really good. But the thinning of my hair continued. This year I’ve started finasteride, minoxidil and some other forms of therapy. I really can see big differences after 6 months. Even though the shedding was really bad at the beginning.. trust the proces 🙏
Doctor Gary, you look amazing. Love it!
his website is ambiguous as to who exactly is performing the extractions. It says that it is sometimes a hair technician. I would love more clarity on that bc considering doing one by his practice.
keep your hair short. It looks great. I'm used to seeing you bald, so seeing you with stubble is a sweet spot for me. It's like a 5 o' clock shadow, but on your head. Not drastically different, but like a 'spice' that alters things just enough to see a difference.
Looking good doc. A lot of hair is visible
Ok Doc, so I just need to get treatment to make it stronger and thicker? How do I go about that?
I like your stoic demeanor
How did you grow your hair and eyebrows back? I haven't watched your videos in a while...
Great vid and great advice and responses
Why is the procedure so expensive in the states? Are the results better?
What type of procedure (FUE or FUT) is used for beard transplants ?
Do you have any videos or tips for females on products or transplant? I have PCOS and i have hair REALLY LONG hair but quite thin fine hair and large forhead 😂
Don't worry about it, to many people are self-conscious today with social media, I bet you're just fine as you are 🤙
His previous video is about female hair loss treatments.
@@iDTecKt haha aw you are very kind, but I really do look a bit like an egg with long hair 😭😂💗
@@nonalolagirl oh okii, thank you for telling me!! 😄
Hey doc I have a lot of white hair at age 21 is it reversible to get back black
Could this cause brain stroke??like PRP??
Can you reccomend a good anti itching agent? I haven't seen or heard much on this and I really suffer with itchy scalp, I have tried various oils and Apple Cider Vinegar helps a little but I need to completely get rid of it
I just went through hair transplant fue procedure 20 days ago.
Procedure was okay , hairline was okay.
I'm almost 40.
Problem is I noticed the doctor missed a small vertical strip on my temporal area.
Does this happen a lot in practice? What are the options to remedy it?
Does it hurt a lot?
@immortalxd6190 you mean post-op? Nah, it is more of discomfort. On surgery, they gonna put anesthesia through your head by needles, so of course it is gonna hurt, but nothing unbearable.
@@أحمدالشمس-ق9ج ahh I see. Thank you
The procedure was hella painful, the numbing shots
I see m8. Thank you so much for the responses. Hope all's well now🙌🏻
Someone I know had FUE by you & no hair has grown yet, despite being 6 months. She had hardly any hair in the first place. Why did you attempt it? It cost her $25,000, and she’s 65 years old! You contradicted yourself. Her hair was very thin & fine.
That's really unfortunate :(
Sure you did. The ol know somebody that knows somebody huh
I have a genuine question, why is it so difficult for science to find a long-term cure for baldness? minoxidil works half way and if you stop taking it, it makes it works, then this guru doctors give you a list of vitamins to take, you go and take them and nothing happens, if you use finasteride there is a high risk of not getting a boner long term, hair transplant cost a fortune and theyre not natural...is it something that the scientific community is hiding from us?? This industry worths like a billion per year and still no real solution for this problems of millions
There's more important problems in the medical field
There’s something freeing about letting things go.
I believe there's a few things that are incorrect In what you said.
First off if someone has norwood five or six at 20 years old.. obviously have you been losing it for a few years now and even going on finasteride that might buy some time but eventually that will succumb.
Why I say this is because a person is already in no word five is not going to be able to get enough grafts to be happy at 20 years old these people are not realistic they want the hair they had for years ago.
That is 100% unattainable.
Secondly you forget to say that FUE is not permanent it is very likely within around 10 years even the transplanted here Will miniaturize.
Fut gives you better results because you're taking from The Sweet Spot but of course the scar is worse but the hair will last longer.
Regardless all the patients need to be on finasteride any Doctor Who says oh it's an option if you want to it's just conning the customer.
You know if they have moderate to severe hair loss that within a year or two they will be back for another hair transplant to fill in the rest and eventually they won't have no donor area left.
FUE even with finasteride is not for life, even FUT with the next ride while you may get many more years probably 15 or so or 20 before it starts to miniaturize a bit.
The mere fact that you say that someone who is just turning 20 years old and is already a Norwood five or six is a candidate is very off-putting they will never get the density they need.
You're asking people who are 20 years old to have rational thoughts and say you're just going to get some coverage it won't be thick because you have aggressive hair loss.
And you need to analyze the donor area if you see that it is thinning and it will eventually get thin that tells you what the follicles are going to do if you ever transplanted.
That means the Fue follicles that you transplanted will die also.
Very disheartening with the info that you're providing, hair transplant is the last resort.
There are some people that they are just destined to be bald and there's nothing you're going to be able to do about it.
I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's better than having a scarred back of your head that you're going to try to camouflage.
Even the best with FUE the scar is going to be visible, and every time we reenter to get more grafts the more scars you getting.
There's only one thing that you mentioned and that is being on finasteride in Rogaine that is the stabilize if you have severe aggressive hair loss even that might not stop the DHT from binding.
A person should be on it for at least a year minimum to see if they can stabilize but a person who is 20 years old stabilizing a Norwood 5 is self-defeating.
They are probably better off getting SMP from a great practitioner.
And while you're talking to mainly a U.S crowd most people cannot afford it and they had the turkey and get botched.
You seem like a good guy you've been through the wringer with your condition and you look great bald and you look great with your hair coming back.
Maybe I think you are too invested in it mentally trying to help people but some of your information is very inaccurate no 20-year-old who was a Norwood five should be getting a hair transplant on finasteride or not.
@@maalikserebryakov maybe you don't like the truth not my problem go eat a ham!
You can apply this to anything. Don’t go to someone dabbling in anything healthcare. This goes for LASIK too.
Dr. Gary, is that micro pigmentation or did you do FUE?
Dr Gary is the best!!!
Procapil seems to be sold a lot here and is being recommended more than Minoxodil. What do you think?
How would you suggest that I start looking for a genuine clinic and surgeon? The only one I know of is Bosley. I’ve written down questions I’m going to ask at consolation but where do I start what should I search
