Kareem, Well I appreciate you sharing your experience, your post sounds like a walking advertisement rather than a genuine experience. If you’ve had surgery there, why not share an actual experience of what your procedure was like and post photos for us to see. Otherwise, this looks like nothing more than a promotional post to give your doctor some clout. Frankly, and image is worth 1000 words and without pictures, your review won’t be believable. And replies like the above and mine will not help your cause. But we are only replying like this because we are skeptical of how genuine you are. Bill

Many years ago, the hair loss patient websites were an innovation that nobody has ever seen before and the best and most popular way to document your hair transplant journey with photos. Whatever, over the last couple of years, these have fizzled out because they were never really truly updated to match today’s technology. The Patient Websites Are 100% Designed for Mobile Devices But now, we are pleased to announce the new, mobile friendly hair loss websites that gives hair transplant patients a new and exciting way to document their hair transplant journey with photos, videos and more. Bloggers and even rate and review their hair transplant surgeons, upload YouTube videos and very easily create a new photo albums that will all be accessible from one modern, easy to use interface. Patient Websites also Optimal On a Computer Of course, the fact that the patient websites are mobile friendly doesn’t take away from the reality that they also look and function beautifully on a tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Your Previousky Created Weblogs Updated The good news is, all previously created patient websites have been converted to the new, mobile friendly and modern patient website. Those of you who have created a website already can simply login begin using his new features. Why Create A Patient Website? it’s far easier and more well organized to share your hair transplant experience, progress, photos and videos using the patients websites over the discussion forum. Instead of bumping a topic or creating a new one that’s completely detached from the previous one, you simply login to your patient website and add a new procedure, journal, photo album or video. Essentially, everything is kept in one place and you only have to link people to your patient website once and they will find everything you’ve ever shared. Creating a New Patient Website If you haven’t created a patient website yet, now would be the perfect time to do so. By simply clicking “create website“, you will create an account and begin sharing your experience, procedure information, photos and videos. If you’ve had more than one hair transplant, you can add a second procedure distinct from the first one and add new photo albums or videos under each procedure. Simply go to www.hairlossweblogs.com and click “create website “or click “register“ Updating Your Patient Website Many of you have already created patient websites many years ago or even recently. But now would be a great time to update your website by adding more photos, videos or rating your surgeon. As stated previously, your website has already been converted to the new format. Thus, to update your website with new photos or videos, simply go to www.hairlossweblogs.com and click “update website“ or “login“ Adding Your Patient Website to Your Forum Signature Creating a patient website is only the first step. You will want to share your website/blog with members of this community. So of course, you can simply create a new forum topic and post a link to your website. But if you would like people to be able to access your patient website every time you post, you can simply add it to your forum signature. step-by-step instructions on creating your very own patient website and linking it in your forum signature, visit “creating your own website – linking to your forum signature“ Screenshots and Photos I’ve included some photos of the new patient websites below so you can see what they look like both on a mobile device and a desktop/laptop computer. We look forward to viewing your documented hair transplant journey in a whole new way after you’ve created or updated your patient website. Onwards and Upwards, Bill

Laser, Great post and it’s no surprise that things like this happen, especially at clinics that are not busy and less than ethical. On one hand, there’s nothing wrong with trying to bring people into hey Clinic… After all, doctors do need to make money for a living but on the other hand, there are ethical and unethical ways to do things. The problem is, many clinics revert to unethical practices when they are not busy or fear going out of business. That’s when things really go downhill. Because if good quality clinics begin to utilize unethical practices, then they will likely be called out on line and lose their business anyway. On the other hand, some unethical practices go on for years before they are called out which is really a shame. But great discussion, I’d like to hear more people offer their input. Bill

When I first started going bald, I noticed it was spot forming in the back and I was very depressed. I tried Rogaine for a bit and it seem to be working. But fortunately, I bought into the hype and tried some alternative treatments that ended up causing me to lose not only my hard-earned cash but more of my hair. Anybody else? Bill

@Etika and @haircrown123, Well for starters both of you have the same profile picture or variation of it anyway which I’m assuming therefore it is a hair transplant clinic that you must represent. Both of you seem to be promoting the benefits of FUE without actually discussing it like educated individuals. FUE certainly has its advantages but both of you sound like talking billboards for the procedure and likely your clinic. Since you clearly are not aware of the policies, if you do represent a hair transplant clinic, you are required to disclose your affiliation in your forum signature. To do this, you’ll have to go under your account settings or profile settings. If you need specific instructions, I can ask our forum co-moderator Melvin to assist. But please keep in mind that this discussion form is not a place to promote, it is a place to discuss the pros and cons of various techniques. Frankly, those who sound like walking advertisements only serve to make their clinic look uneducated. So instead of trying to pretend that FUE is only way and there are no potential problems or pitfalls with it, why I tnot discuss the actual procedure like an educated individual like everybody else. Best regards, Bill

Gabreille, You are certainly welcome to share your genuine experience as a patient but if you do work for the clinic which it seems that you do, you are required to disclose this in your forum signature. You can edit your form signature by going under your account settings or profile information. If you need specific instructions, I will ask our forum co-moderator to post those for you. But just to be sure, you are posting your own results right? You’re not posting someone else’s? As long as you are genuine posting your own pictures, then you are certainly welcome to do that as a patient. But you do need to disclose your affiliation with the clinic in your signature. Thanks, Bill

Legend, You are a longtime member so to be honest I am very surprised by your response to this patient who has share their experience and photos. For you to criticize them, in particular about their appearance is exceptionally inappropriate and is not going to be tolerated. I want to remind you that the doctor of this patient is recommended and has proven to do outstanding work. So I’m not exactly sure why you think that this patient is fake. But even if you do think so, it’s not your job to conclude this and then bash them online. If you feel somebody may be less than genuine, and feel free to send one of us a private message so we can investigate. Alternatively, you can share your concern publicly but you can do it respectfully without insulting someone. Please don’t let me catch you treating members of this community this way again. Best, Bill

One of the top things that I tell men and women considering hair transplant surgery is not to let location or price determine which surgeon you choose for surgical hair restoration. Now, if an outstanding surgeon with a proven track record of producing excellent results happens to be local and affordable, that’s an outstanding bonus. But to seek out a surgeon based on those alone would be a mistake. Great article, Bill

Marco, Dr. Bisanga has a stellar reputation online and has long been recommended by our community and an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. Therefore, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to consult him and choose him as your next hair transplant surgeon. Please keep us posted and let us know what you decide to do. We wish you the best in your hair restoration journey. If you do choose undergo surgical hair restoration, we hope you share your experience and photos here on this forum 🙂 Best wishes, Bill

There may be an in between, but for the most part, I don’t think it really does much to stop hair loss especially if used topically. It may have some marginal affect if used orally.

Well, any claims to restoring hair by switching your diet is either fake or because someone’s die it was so bad that they had extreme now nutrition and their hair loss was due to that. But usually, hair loss is due to genetics and switching to a vegan will not help. That said, I would like to hear what other people have to say… I am open minded as maybe there’s one particular vegan food that stops DHT for all I know. Let’s hear some thoughts 🙂 Bill

I think more women have probably use it that man however, she would be interested in hearing from anybody who has tried this treatment. Best, Bill

I’d like to hear from anyone who has tried PRP as well.

Keep in mind that consistency are not the same as perfection. In my opinion, his results are quite consistently not. However, no surgeon that’s 1000. There are always cases of less than optimal growth and potential problems that can occur. That’s why patients have to sign a disclosure agreement before they enter into surgery. It is an elective procedure that has a high rate of success in the right surgical hands. Dr. Rahal has been amongst the best for over 10 years in my opinion and if something has changed, then I would certainly like to know so we can investigate it. However, I have not seen many people complain about the results and post their full experience with Photos. I’ve heard couple people complain recently that they aren’t happy like Bman. However, I do encourage these people to contact the surgeon to discuss these concerns and if they choose to share their experience and photos on this forum which they are welcome to, they will need to allow the doctor to share his side of the story along with photos… As long as no identifying information is shown. Best, Bill

Bman, I’m not sure if you responded to my private message or not, if you have I will go look at it now and then assuming everything is OK, I will take the moderation off. Bill

Great poll, Although I’m sure there are some in between answers. However, in this particular case, I really don’t believe this product will work for anyone with genetic hair loss at all because they don’t even have an accurate understanding of what causes hair loss. Best wishes, Bill

No he’s posting privileges have not been suspended however, I am in the process of speaking to him to understand why he was privately lashing out another member and being inappropriate towards him.

@bman3082, Again, I need you to reply to my private message before I allow any additional public posts. Bill

@bman3082, I need you to reply to my private message before I let you post anything else publicly. Bill

Melvin, while your advice is truthful, you do know that Dr. Fargo is a highly esteemed Coalition member right? While travel is sometimes necessary, if you have an outstanding surgeon in your backyard, there’s no need to travel. Ahmeda, Dr. Farjo is amongst the elite and the shortlist of surgeons I would trust my own scalp with. You would do yourself a great disservice if you didn’t consider him for surgery. Best wishes, Bill

HLPToronto, You’ll be in great hands and I’m sure he will definitely create an excellent illusion of density for you. But even though it may not be true and density from your teenage years, if you have realistic expectations, you can be very satisfied with a hair transplant. Most people think I never lost any hair or at least only have mild thinning in the crown whereas without my procedures, I would be fully bald. So it really does work when you pick an excellent surgeon. Best, Bill
