combatinghairloss

I'm assuming that a study was done that you claiming such thing but if that's not the case.There should be a study done regarding this. Instead of taking finateride daily, maybe taking fin a few day a month should be enough. But of course even if it did, it wouldn't let be known.

appreciate the replies. I guess it all can depend on the amount of FUE grafts one had done. 400 FUE & 1000+ recovery & healing time will not be the same. I would also really like to know if the white dots that FUE leaves post- op will minimize as well?

THanks just wanted to know. By healing time I meant. The gap scars, redness, swelling, etc.

Hi,how long should it take for one to see the final healing result from the donor area from FUE? Thanks in advanced.

I wonder if half a bottel spray with peroxide and water can help eliminate the scab and prevent infection. Right now once or twice a day i spray a bit of cold water to help minimize the scabs little by little.

I asked because the multivitamin/mineral/aminoacids,etc has 76 ingridients. I think i'll wait one week to start just to be safe. i aprreciate your help.

Hi, pre-op, it's recommended to stop multivitamins/minerals, protein, advil etc. How quickly after post-op can one start using multivitamins/minerals an protein.

thanks for the replies. Now I have more option.

Is graftcyte the only Post op healing Aid? Is a bit expensive. Any other option?

Thanks for the information. It helped. I been on 1/4 of 5 mg finasteride for years so hopefully It will help preventing shockloss. I actually don't mind shaving my recipient area or donor hair. If it's for the best outcome of my HT.

Hey, I would like to know if Finasteride can prevent shockloss? It seem the doctor shave the donor hair before the HT procedure. What clipper lenght to they shave the donor hair with? I rather just go shaved and prepared. Thanks!

Don't know much about those doctor u mentiong but I found the article interesting as well thats why I post it.

While web surfing I found a article about NEO Graft.which claims it's fda approved and states "NEO grafts transplants roughly twice as many hair grafts (e.g. ~1,500 grafts) in a single surgery as the previous manually-performed FUE surgery (e.g. ~750 grafts) in the same amount of time. It Cuts the cost of treatment by as much as half as it reduces the need for additional surgeriescan." If the claims of NEO graft is true, we can all greatly benefit from it. What are the doctors and poster on here opinion regarding NEO graft.For those that never heard about Neo graft here's some info about it from their site. "From a surgical standpoint, an FUE hair transplant is extremely simple. It is a very safe, relatively minor procedure, unlike the standard STRIP procedure still used by most doctors today. With an FUE hair transplant the hair from the back of the head is harvested with our special instrument and placed in the thinning or balding areas on the top of the head. The hair at the back of the head is genetically programmed to not fall out, unlike the hair at the top of the head. The patient is awake during the procedure, and can watch T.V. or talk with the doctor. It is virtually a painless procedure aside from the few initial local injections of anesthesia which feel like pinpricks. The NeoGraft machine is designed to help the doctor offer his patients the latest, most advanced procedure in hair transplantation. When a doctor puchases a NeoGraft machine, he will be provided with hair transplant training, a highly skilled technician who will assist during the transplant proceedures and support. The newest most advanced method of hair transplantation is called FUE (follicular unit extraction). The FUE method is the least invasive method since there is no cutting and suturing of the scalp as there is with the STRIP method, sometimes called FUT, which most doctors still use today . With the FUE method there is little bleeding, minimal or no visible scarring, and very little recovery time. With the FUE method follicles are harvested individually from the scalp and transplanted to the balding area. Very few transplant doctors offer the FUE method for a complete hair transplant because it is very time consuming and therefore more costly. Most doctors suggest using this method for the hairline or a very small transplant area. The NeoGraft machine has been developed to assist the doctor with the FUE procedure. The machine shortens the time for the FUE procedure allowing large transplants to be done in minimal time. Over 6000 transplants have been done to date in Europe and the Orient with excellent results. Now patients in North America can have a complete FUE transplant as well. The number of hairs that can be transplanted and number of procedures depends upon the extent of hair loss, the amount of hair at the back of the head, and other artistic and medical considerations. Most transplants average between 800 follicles up to as high as 5,000 follicles in one session. A follicle can consist of one to four hairs. The average transplant is around 1200 to 2500 hundred follicles. To do this many grafts, without the NeoGraft machine takes a great deal of time. The doctor will need the assistance of several technicians. The NeoGraft machine reduces the time needed for the transplant as well as the number of technicians. With the NeoGraft machine the doctor can do the transplant with the help of one technician or by himself. Reduced time and technicians means reduced costs. Often the patient can have the results they are looking for in just one or two hair transplant sessions. Without the NeoGraft machine certain conditions of the scalp or hair prevents some patients from being candidates for the FUE procedure. Some patients have a very tight scalp, or a thick scalp. Some individual's follicles are deeper, and more firmly anchored than other people's. These differences may require more tugging, pulling and twisting of the follicle by the doctor or technician who does not have the NeoGraft machine, increasing the chances of damaging the follicle. The NeoGraft machine applies just the right amount of pneumatic pressure (suction) to allow for easy removal of the follicle with the least amount of handling of the follicle. With the NeoGraft machine more people are eligible to have FUE transplants done because the qualities of the patients skin and hair do not affect the performance of the machine. For the small amount of patients who cannot have the FUE procedure the Omnigraft machine, which is similar to the NeoGraft assist the doctor with the STRIP method as well. Follicles grow at an angle and some individual's are more angled than others. The NeoGraft machine has an angled instrument to allow the doctor or technician to remove the follicle minimizing the chances of cutting through the follicle. Another problem with the standard manual way of doing hair transplants is that the follicles are inserted into the bald area with instruments that push the follicle into the slit. How well this is done also depends on the skill of the doctor or the technician. An unskilled doctor or technician can damage the hair bulb and that follicle will never grow. The NeoGraft machine uses just the right amount of pneumatic pressure to insert the follicles into the slits. With the NeoGraft machine the follicles remain more robust for transplantation because the time for the transplant procedure is greatly reduced." http://www.neograft.com/Information.html

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into it with my HT doctor of choice.

Hi, When one does lab work at a hospital, for the HT clinic to obtain a copy does one has to get it or do they have to contact the hospital for a copy? When one goes to their primary Doctor unless the results come out bad they don't even call to tell the patient for the results. I didn't tell my doctor for what I needed it since she didn't ask but I had it done. Thanks

I wonder if not working out post FUE HT is also recommended as Post strip.

thanks for the answer.

Hey, are scalp exercise necessary & helpfull for pre-FUE as it is with strip? Thanks

I doubt that why causes hairloss. The only way I believe it can happen is if Whey would increase levels of androgen & for a long period of time like some steroids do.

so far Dr. true/Dr. dorin and Dr. feller charges $10 per graft. How much Dr. epstein charges for FUE per graft? The photo work I seen from him seem to be good as well. In general whats the price range of FUE. Small sessions then?

Well of course I ask and was told a price.Which was $10 per graft for FUE. I just wanted to see what are the FUE price range for small sessions and also make sure I'm not getting hustled.

Do anyone know how much Dr. Epstein charges for FUE? I was told I might just need 300 to 400 to fill in my temples. What's the price range for a small session of FUE. Thanks!
