Save your money!! Your crown looks great - looking at the pics, it has not changed that much in the years between pics.

Korec

I'm glad you are not hurt. It is so templing to just look at all those new babies on your head and be amazed.

I can see it now: law makers will attach a new addendem to the "no texting while driving" and add "no looking at your new hair transplants in mirror while driving."

Good luch with the new hairs.

That is some crazy hair in the before shots, but I can see where puting hair in the sides makes it complete.

Is the same hair that you put on top put also on the sides? It seems, looking at my self, that the hairs are more random in direction on the top, but on the sides, they all go down.

Great results!! I agree with Aaron and Surfarosa that the hairline is fantastic.

Nice Job Dr. Shapiro. Keep up good work.

Great job!!! This is a class-act result. He does not look 18 years old with this result - he looks like a middle aged man - like he should look with hair.

Some of the pictures look like his hair is darker - which is good. A litle color goes a long way.

Nice Job.

Looks great. Does that mean she was pulling her hairs or what happened to cause "traction alopecia"? Thats a weird name for hairloss - first time I heard that.

Looks very nice.

Why did you put all the hairs in one area and not all over so it looks more natural. You said this guy has waited 2 years for his second transplant - that means he walked around like he has a really bad partial tupee only at the front of his head. Ouch!!

Pretty sweet. Can't wait to see how it turns out. This should help this guy out with him self-confidence and image. Nice job!!

It looks like some clean work, but isn't it important to make the hairline irregular. I'm looking at the immediate photos and the grafts were put in as straight as an arrow? From my observations, most docs are putting the hairs in the front in an up and down pattern - this patient is as straight as I've ever seen.

Just my observation

What about the docs themselves? I know hairclub and bosely have poor reputation - does that mean all the docs are poor? Is medical hair restoration on the same league as these two?

Can you really expect their clinic to put every patient's photos on line. When I had my transplant years ago, they asked me if they could use my pictures in their materials or photos to show people who walked in the door. (this was Bosley). I said No as I did not know what they were going to do with them and what billboard I would end up on.

I'm sure H/W has lots of patients that will let them show their befores and afters, but I'm sure they have a slew of people who also say no, which is OK. It is up to the person if they want their photos revealed. I give them a thumbs up for not showing everything when people don't want it shown.

So I think the thought of showing everyone's photos, from any clinic, should not be on the table. It would be nice to ask and see what % of people allow them to show their photos - I bet it would be low. So thank you H/W for not showing all your patients - but please keep showing the ones who said it was OK.

What the difference between hair club and bosley for hair transplants? In california, I see tons of both commercials and both offer hair transplants. Are the docs with one better then the other?

It seems to me that both of these companies spend a ton of $$ promoting their services but I am skeptical. Reading here, bosley does not have good reputation - does hair club?

Just trying to get a better understanding of the hair industry.

A hat.

Not a huge fan of the tatooes. I had a friend that had that done a few years back and now his hair has diminished and he has these funky , irregular brown lines on his head that don't look so good. he told me people ask him if he has like a disease or something with his head causing the color changes. For some I'm sure it has done well; its all individual.

I felt the same whay after my transplant. It took forever to grow and I know how you feel. My doctor told me to wait a while before doing anoher one to see if my native hair would grow in - some did, but I did feel I lost a lot. (So far I've waited 10 years:).

Sorry to hear about this.

I live in the Redondo Beach area and will go to see Dr. Umar to see what he can do for me. I had a transplant about 10 years ago. Does Dr. Umar only do the punches. I have a scar in the back of my noggin that I have to keep my hair kind of long to cover it.

Also, the photos with the blood coming down your face -- OUCH!! Makes me nervous to go into all this again. How many punches did he make in your head - looks like a lot but the pics are fuzy to me.:eek:

M1A1,

 

As you probably know, Nizoral Shampoo contains ketoconazole - a weak inhibitor of Dihydrotestosterone or DHT (the hormone responsible for genetic male pattern baldness). Because of this it's not unreasonable to see an improvement in your hair while using the shampoo several times a week, especially if you're using it in conjunction with other medications like finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). According to the Hair Loss Learning Center, Nizoral isn't completely efficient as a stand alone treatment, but can help with hair loss (especially when paired with finasteride and minoxidil). I hope this helps!

So r u saying Nizoral isnt really doing anything - you need porpecia and rogaine which are the ones that will actually be doing something; or are you saying that nizoril enhanses the effects of porpecia and rogaine? :confused:

Shampoo keeps your hair and scalp clean, there are many different shampoo are available in the market, but I think that you should always try to use herbal shampoo, which includes amla, shikakai, and other herbal products, that is really good for you hair and really keeps your hair shiny and reduce hair fall.

What are alma, shikakai ? I was hoping for a common shampoo. What about rogaine shampoo? I rmember that being sold years ago and was checking if still good or not?

Please explan what those others r?

Very nice job.

When I had my tranpslant about 10 years ago, we never thought hair could look as thick.

When you say Dense packing - what exactly are you referring to. Obviously you are trying to get it as dense as possible, but what are you doing.

Where are the pics?

I keep reading on this shock loss - why does it happen? Does it all come back? That has to be very depressing when the hair you think is going to grow falls out. Ouch!! Has anyone not grown back?

Thanks for the advice. I'll look up the doctors that are listed here and dr. Umar. I like this community so I'll keep on checking these out too.

Hi

I'm new to this and recently found this web site. Great information and articles. Just found where I could wrtie questions.

I'm in the Redondo Beach area in California. Any docs people have had good luck with around here.

I have hairloss on top and to the back of my head. Would like to know options from a good doctor people trust.

Thanks.

I'm new to all of this, but man, that looks great. I really like the look of the front part of his hair.
