DHT and exercise.
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to bonkling's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I have never heard of or seen any studies that correlate exercise with elevated DHT levels. However that doesn't mean that its not possible in certain individuals. I still think that staying healthy with exercising regularly and having a good balanced diet is more important than potential hair loss. There is also DHT blockers available. -
You might want to consider a clinic that offers several FUE options. One FUE device does not fit all patients.

Shedding in the donor area can occur but in not as common as in the recipient areas in close proximity to where the grating was done. I have had it happen on only a few patients over the past 20 years. I seems like it may take a little longer to recover from this but in all my patients the shocked hairs did grow back.

Hair transplant in Turkey
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Uncle drew's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
No I have not, but I am glad to hear that he is doing the extractions himself.- 103 replies

No worries. Over a month after having an FUE procedure you could not just have follicles falling out. You are looking at a hair shaft that is going through a normal shedding process. Good luck and be patient for the hair to start growing.

I really doubt that you could have caused any harm to the grafted follicles 3.5 months after the procedure. It is the exposure to the sum immediately following the procedure that is a concern. More because it could cause a more permanent redness discoloration to the scalp.

Hair transplant in Turkey
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Uncle drew's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Good luck. Looking forward to following your progress. All I hope for is that patients go to quality hair restoration physicians and get great results. It is the clinics that are doing low quality work often performed by a non physician that is giving this field of medicine a bad name.- 103 replies

This results looks impressive. I do wish that the before photos where with the patient having longer hair like he does in the after photos, but I'm sure this is the way the patient wore hair before having the procedure. Many patients who have hair loss choose to keep hair very short to make the hair loss less obvious.

Looks like things are healing well if only 5 weeks post-op and 3700 FU's where extracted. If you start to get a bunch those little pimple like lesions in the same area then an antibiotic might be required. If they are just a few random lesions that usually clears up on its own.

This is normal. The center of a cowlick always looks thinner because all of the hair are dispersing in opposite directions away from the center. ( Starburst pattern) as compared to the frontal and mid scalp areas where the hairs are all directed in the dame direction which creates a layering or feathering effect.

Hair - Wet -vs- Dry -vs- With Product
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Shifty's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Very impressive. May seem like a lot of work to do on a daily basis. However, if the hair loss bothers a person that much it is worth the time. Hair transplants are more of a permanent solution but not everyone is a candidate for the procedure. Some also are just not ready do try something more invasive or may not be able to afford procedure. -
In some patients Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) may help to accelerate hair growth or shorten the sleep cycle once shedding of the hairs has occurred following a hair transplant procedure. However, there are no good large studies that prove this . I have never heard of any patient being harmed by using the laser post op.

FUE Hairline query
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to morrow's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
In most cases it should be singles only. Generally it takes several hundred one hair FU's packed very closely and with a slight irregularity to create a more natural appearance. the only time a two hair FU can be used without looking unnatural is if the patients hair is super fine and light in color. -
Shedding at 10/11 months postop
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to Sm90's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Did you have existing hairs that the doctor worked around or was the area completely devoid of any original hairs? -
Coal tar shampoo after transplant?
Dr. Glenn Charles replied to LonelyGraft's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
How many days post-op are you? There are other options that might be less irritating.
