@@shanegoku6020 its been two and half years now since i had the hair transplant done. Its still looking brill think thats down to having a high protein diet to be honest and some vitamins zinc vit d bitoin magnesium ect. It definitely all helps
This is the best post-operative video I have ever seen online. I wish my hair restoration center made one for their patients (DiStefano). Thank you Gary and crew, you are the best!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This video is the best content. The clinics are vague. Like the post care lines up but they never say why which just leaves you in worry. For example you've said 72 hours is the key period for being able to rub them out. The clinics don't mention this so you're a nervous mess for longer than necessary.
A big thank you to you guys, this episode is really helpful for all of us hair transplants and getting a sample or an idea from you on what to do next. Really appreciate you all.😍👍🤝💕
It's weird how many different instructions are found online. From not getting the hair wet for two weeks to regularly rinsing. As a doctor myself although internal medicine, I think yours makes the most sense and Ive been following it. Only slept longer with raised upper body, pure torture without a recliner. Next time I'd make sure to get one (and since I have only very sparse transplants since the area.was so large, there'll probably be a next time). Thank you so much! 11 days post op now and I'm feeling awesome, I don't think I'll still be losing something.
Right! My doctor told me to not do any form of washing until 3 weeks after the procedure. That sounds ridiculous because then the scabs would last a lot longer. Im currently on day 2 and I think my day 5 ill do a light wash with the baby shampoo as he instructed in the video.
Right! Got mine done 10 days ago and I was instructed to apply the panthenol foam and shampoo every morning though I do it every night. It can be so confusing the varying aftercare information out there
Such a great and informative video. Thank you!! Some surgeons say to not color your hair until after three months after surgery. Is it required to wait that long?
Dr. Gary Linkov and Dr. Shaiil Gupta are both exceptional hair transplant surgeons who have a true passion for their work. I was blown away by Dr. Shaiil's level of expertise and his ability to tailor the procedure to my unique needs. He is truly a master of his craft and has changed my life for the better.
I was after some advice. I watch your channel and was wondering what my next step could be.. i use Finisteride and Aural Minoxidil. Do you think lazer therapy would help, as my hair is still getting thinner? Or any other ideas would be very much appreciated.. many thanks
Great video thank you. I had my HT 8 days ago and my doctor gave me same instructions. I have 2 questions. I read somewhere that the transplanted grafts go all together into dormant phase and then later start to grow. But isnt it that all hairs go through all phases at the same time? Means they all go Telogen at the same time and fall out when their time comes? And how long after a HT should I wait to use a Dermaroller?
@@millennialstray4215 I have a lot of hope on him. If anyone can do it, it is he. 😊 Upd. Also, I have Androgenecit Alopecia myself. So I can understand that frustration.
The reason he even has hair again is because of the medication he is taking, im sure its not somthing thats just gonna fall off unless maybe if he gets off the medication
Super useful video team! I'm running my 8th month and my regrowth has been really slow and sparse... I look like the typical 4 month transplant... I hope I'm one of those laggers that need 16-18 months 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi, I saw the video about the hair implant and I would like to ask you if I’m allergic to Penicillin and I cannot take cefadroxil 500 mg. What is the antibiotics that you normally prescribe, please? Thanks.
What about using hair fibers after a hair transplant? Toppik etc. When can you use it again? Is it also normal to shed while taking oral minoxidil 4 weeks after a hair transplant? Oral minoxidil has been taken almost 10 months prior to the procedure.
What different advice you have with my clinic in Istanbull. I need to spray a woundspray every 3 hours for 9 days. And at the end of the 9 days i can finally take a shower and work the crusts off. O well, it should both be good right? I'm on day 5 after the transplant. I got a FUE saffire treatment.
Dr. Linkov, I was thinking about your alopecia areata the other night. Have you ever tried combining oral Alitretinoin with a topical formulary of Cetirizine? It might be worth a shot for you.
Its not areata he has. He has a much more severe version called totalis or univerisalis, or something similar i believe. I think He is taking new medecine or procedure thats only his condition are getting because of the severe side effects (lowering of the total immune system), its also in its beginning stage because its quite new.
How necessary are the oral antibiotics? I was given Levaquin and Metronidozol in 2019 and took one dose of the former and four of the latter. Developed C. diff a week later. Total hell. Treated with Vancomycin but ended up with IBS for years, took me a long time to stabilize and have the gut heal. So I'm very apprehensive about taking antibiotics. I do understand the purpose is to prevent infection. Will these antibiotics harm my gut? Or is it possible to inject them so I don't have to digest them?
After leaving finasteride for a period of two months, will the follicles become more sensitive to DHT, and if I take finasteride again at a lower dose, will I get results? Please answer
@Dr. Linkov 4:48 how important is this step with the plasmalite spray? The clinic I went to did not provide one for me nor did they say to use saline solution
The clinic I had it done said absolutely nothing can touch the recipient area, only the spray i'd been given every hour or two. Like not even to leave, no form of head covering whatsoever. Fortunately I didnt have to take a bus or anything, had my mum get the car in front of the door and i just dove in, holding my jacket around but not touching my head
My surgeon told me that after 4 days (wearing special non-adhesive gauze), it would safe to wear a bandana. There were two separate ointments - one for the donor, one for the recipient. All crusts were out by day 7-8. I'm entering my third week now - ugly duckling phase has begun. I'm scared that the bandana was a bad move. But I'm trying to just have faith in the instructions.
Hello doctor! I am on 16th day after hair transplant but i work as a diver and i needed to work today.does scuba dive suit will cause any problem to my hair?
Hey Dr. i have a question. is it ok to use any kind of oil after Using minoxidil of before using minoxidil.since every one says u should dry ur hair before using minoxidil. is it ok to use any Kind of oil after 3.4 hour of using minoxidil
I had my hair transplant with Dr. Shaill in India and followed his post-op instructions to a tee. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, my recovery was smooth sailing. Dr. Shaiil Gupta, you are just as brilliant as Dr. Linkov, and I am so grateful for the work you did on my hair. You are a master of your craft and a true innovator in the hair restoration world.
I’m on day 24 of my hair transplant shedding phase for me because my hair grows fast is it possible that my new growth will grow fast too I got my hair transplant done in the uk.
Im working construction and i need to wear hard hat at work i had hair transplant and i had 5 weeks off is that ok i start wearing hard had and its winter time now i need to wear winter hat under?
Great video. Just curious as to why no one seems to mention the donor area nerves "waking back up" around day 5 and how painful this can be. Having just lived it (now day 12) the only reference I could find to this being normal and not a major concern was Reddit. Very odd.
I had hair transplant last week, I was counting grafts from donor area and then implants it was (if I didn't miss the count) 4830 donor to 4000 implants with DHI pen. What happened with those 830 grafts? Is there some standard ratio of damaged/unused grafts?
The transplanted hair will never fall out if it has been taken from the correct donor area from the back of the scalp. Balding only occurs to hairs on the top of your scalp however I'm sure you have noticed on some bald people that that area does extend a little further down at the back. So as long as hairs have been extracted from the correct donor area than your transplanted hair will last forever. I recommend if you've experienced hair loss to continue using finasteride after a transplant to avoid further hair loss to your original hairs on top.
if you lose a few grafts (up to 10) on days 3-5 bc of slowly massaging the scalp to get rid of scabs (I know, should have been done with water and soap), will that damage the rest of the grafts that (visibly) remain in place? Or should one be worried that the act of having dry massaged the recipient area, could have damaged the grafts?
So I just got an FUE hair transplant 2 days ago and the doctor there told me not to swim for 3 months and no gym for 2 months?? Now I watched this video and I don't know what to do.. any advice? Do I really have to wait 3 months to go to the pool?
My clinic was more conservative with the waiting periods. No hats, no sun, no exercise for 1 month. No sex, or any physical activity for 15 days. I’m still at 1 month recovery so I’m hoping that the strict recovery was successful
I like that he incorporates his staff. I’m sure it bodes well for morale and a nice place to work.
I basically took 2 weeks off from doing anything. Took time off work and didnt exercise at all. Was worth it
How's it looking now 11 months later?

You should never massage head until the 10th -14th day and that should be only when wet and washing
Why not advise that they take an NSAID with Tylenol, they have different mechanisms of action and can compound the analgesic effect.
Because they can increase bleeding
When you do an FUE and take out the donor hair from the back, can you replace the donor area holes with beard hair in the same session?
Beards can sometimes be used as donor. You'd just skip taking hair from the back of the head in this instance.

Will you have to use DHT blockers after a hair transplant to keep the transplanted hairs?

My clinic was more conservative with the waiting periods. No hats, no sun, no exercise for 1 month. No sex, or any physical activity for 15 days. I’m still at 1 month recovery so I’m hoping that the strict recovery was successful
How soon after surgery can you use styling hair spray?
after a year, possibly
Can you make a video about finasteride? It’s side effects and how effective it is. I hear that it affects your testosterone levels, if so how badly?
It can raise testosterone levels by 10-15% because the lack of conversion to DHT. Although there's not much utility in that anyway.
