  1. Hi, just wondering, I'm having a full-face CO2 (fully ablative) laser resurfacing done and my doctor said to quit smoking 2 weeks before the procedure. But, she didn't say whether that includes smoking weed or not. Does anyone know? Thanks, - one of your resident stoners
  2. Depending on your hair characteristics, you should focus on creating enough density (usually 50% of normal or better). This will give an overall illusion of a full head of hair, but leave more for other areas. So, IMO, shoot for 50% of whatever your normal native density is and use the rest to cover other areas such as the crown. But, from personal experience, you don't want to spread it too thin or avoid the crown/vertex completely. Otherwise, you will look like you are sporting a "front to back" combover, which is a telltale HT sign b/c it doesn't have a typical "receding hairline" pattern ... that of a man with MPB. It may look unnatural and def like something is 'weird' about it. Any good HT surgeon will know (should know) what is best for your specific needs and situation. You should ask these questions to him/her when you consult with them. They could tell you what they think at least. It couldn't hurt. But, don't ignore the crown completely, IMO. I did that and it looked kind of ass.
