a topical antibiotic powder can also be used and works more directly instead of systemic. good luck!

Am i good candidate ? ..Denied by clinic in canada
bear56 replied to Kira's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
even though you have to cover a lot of real estate, i think you have a good chance for a positive outcome as long as you pick a clinic that does a lot of high norwoods. your hair shaft looks thick and you can cover more with less hair. eugenics comes to mind for this case but there are a lot of more options out there. -

Has anyone had success with prp treatment?
bear56 replied to Hah6788887's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
i have used prp injections monthly for the last 7 months. 3 prior to hair transplant and so far 4 after ht and will continue for at least 12 months then taper to every 3 months. i am also doing other things to boost the hair. i look at it as a whole. everything must be in sync for best results. 1. nutrition internal/external, hair products(biotin), ph balanced shampoo, dht reduction (nizoral) , stimulation ( scalp circulation (niacin/caffeine tonic ,scalp massage, micro needling), minoxidil, prp. i wish i had taken pics before and aft to show some of you what is possible. the only reason i had a hair transplant was to fill the frontal hairline and temples a bit. so far i can say with confidence is that all of that has improved my entire hair quality( texture, density , hair fall. i have to mention that i am 66 years old and did not want to leave anything on the table and i am glad i did. -
for the people that are considering retinol based product for their hair instead of microneedling How to Use Retinol for Hair While there are hair serums formulated with retinol, if you already use a retinol serum or cream in your skincare routine, buying another retinol product may not be necessary. According to Dr. Jaliman, you can apply the same retinol products that you use on your face to your hair and scalp — but do so with caution. When used for hair loss, retinol might not always jive with the scalp's pH level. "The pH level aids in the barrier function of the epidermis and protects the hair follicles," says Dr. Green. "The scalp should maintain a pH between 3.5 to 5.5. Products that are too alkaline deplete the scalp of its natural oils and can make the scalp too dry." So always check the pH level of a product before using it. (FYI: retinol naturally has a ph of approximately 5 to 6, notes Dr. Green.) Everyone's scalp is different so check with your dermatologist first to determine if using retinol for hair loss is right for you. The Side Effects As it turns out, the side effects of using retinol on your face go for your scalp, too. "You can experience sensitivity, redness, and irritation, which can make the situation worse resulting in hair loss or thinning," Dr. Green explains. "The same holds true with regards to sensitivity. If you have a sensitive scalp, you should stay clear of using any form of retinol on your scalp." Since retinol can make the scalp more sensitive, Dr. Green suggests using a spray-on sunscreen to prevent sun damage. She also points out that those with scalp psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis should consult with a dermatologist before using retinol on the scalp. And if you're experiencing extra flaking, Dr. Jaliman says you may want to use a zinc pyrithione shampoo (like Head & Shoulders) to reduce dandruff and improve your scalp's health.

FUE Regret 27 year old- In need of guidance
bear56 replied to NathanJ2095's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
i think you are just not used to it because your hairline used to be high up. proportion wise the hairline is correct and does not look too low. keep the sides short and hair long on top and it will look great! i- 39 replies

Dr Bruno Pinto - 2352 grafts - Feb 3rd 2023
bear56 replied to rambo man's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
2352 grafts in such a small area= super high density. should turn out real well !!! -
i was waiting in the video for him to say if he has tried it himself but he never mentioned it but points to data he probably got from googling on the internet. i agree for example that is no clear cut studies to proof its efficacy. all i can say is that everyone is different. what might work great for you might not necessarly work for someone else. about scar tissue, if you use the cheap roller it might be possible to create scar tissue since it penetrates in an angle but high quality ultra thin needles that enter perpendicular like the dr pen are almost invisible to the eye. tumors from the needle puncture, hmmm. micro needling has been around for quite awhile and not everyone is trying to make a buck. as it goes for infections. every time you micro needle you have to start with washed clean hair , use some alcohol cleaner and of course a sterilized needle. some people reuse needles. what i noticed was that he showed predominant women who used micro needling for facial rejuvenation and got infection. a lot of women use make up and if the skin is not 100% clean you will introduce bacteria right into the skin. people with acne should not microneedle if they have a flare up it can make it worse. he did point out that using minoxidil as an adjunct might enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil. there are many people out there that swear by it. watch the video from " dates for plates " or vice versa he has first hand experience using mn and is a trustworthy source. there are lots of opinions out there. it worked very well for me, i am in general good health, not on meds only minoxidil. i am not saying its a miracle. after 6 months of use i noticed that my existing hair got stronger and felt more dense, i noticed thin hairs that i never noticed before which were probably almost on its way out but still somehow alive. even family members that had not seen for awhile commented what i did to my hair. i cant say for sure that it was the micro needling alone but the micro needling plus minoxidil works very well. if i listened to everyone on the internet i probably would have never tried it out but i am glad i did. so form your own opinions. that's it.

3 sessions won't do much. it takes 3- 6 months to really notice a difference in hair quality and hair fall. also at a depth of 1mm or .75mm you need to do it 2x/month. the more the better ( as long as your scalp recuperates ) and in combination with minoxidil it will be even more effective. i would invest in a dr pen #8 with extra cartridges. you will save a ton of money in the process.

Am I good candidate for a HT?
bear56 replied to jabra4512's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
there seems to be some scalp condition, -
there is all kinds of information and it is really a difficult question to answer because everyone has a different thickness of layer of skin. case studies point to 1.5 mm thickness. i personally have tried that depth and it was not a comfortable experience. i backed it down to 1 mm for the rear and middle scalp to .75 for the frontal scalp where the skin is the thinnest. i personally don't think you have to get that deep. i use right after minoxidil 5% but it is recommended 24 hours afterwards, to avoid skin irritation. good luck!

What is the maximum density?
bear56 replied to Rafael Manelli's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
everyone wants density and is understandable but we all are different. some of us have high or low density hair, i mean everywhere, not just where you lost your hair. if you go after ultra high density. a density that is higher than your normal hair it might look out of place, if for example the density on top of your head is higher than the sides and back of your head it would be a sure way for people to tell. this would be more suitable for people that have a high density but still when the density is too high the hair will be more difficult to style with the rest of the hair. i think its best to stick to your own density (50-60% of it). its more important that your hair line design is spot with correct use of singles, doubles , triples and direction of hair. i know some of you think about for example of couto's patients where the density looks like a lot but most of those cases that have a very good outcome are people that have thick hair and it looks like they have extreme high density but it is an illusion. its the hairline that presents a challenge in those cases because of the thick hair. that's where the doctor's artistry comes in. -
nice results!
