Old article: https://www.hairlosscure2020.com/dr-hasson-ditches-oral-finasteride-and-switches-to-topical/ It says they have completely stopped prescribing oral finasteride and instead only provide topical finasteride. They are such a reputed and old center so I think it's a big deal. One would think they would have published scientific studies from their experience with hundreds of patients, but I couldn't find anything. -
I finally took the plunge this week and spent a long overdue 16 hour day at the Hasson and Wong clinic in beautiful Vancouver. I've been on minoxidil for over 10 years and finasteride for over seven years (on and off with both - not consistently). Switched to dutasteride about 14 months ago. I had planned a 4,000 FUT but that changed when Dr. Hasson got his first in person look at my donor area and my temple recession. We decided on FUE instead and he showed me where the sweet spot would be for my hairline. An unexpected advantage of FUE that I wasn't aware of is that the extra -

This Canadian patient in his mid-20’s from a province outside of British Colombia had a previous poorly executed FUE procedure in Pakistan. Two years removed from his disappointing results, further research and due diligence revealed he should turn to Dr. Wong for answers and a solution. His goals were to create adequate density and coverage to all areas with emphasis on the frontal zone and crown. Fortunately he had good donor hair and a high degree of laxity and it was determined that to achieve his goals and maximize the result, FUT would be the preferred method of extraction. The impressiv -
Today, I will have the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Wong and @Remy Herda one of their technicians that recently got an HT. What questions do you guys have for Dr. Wong or Remy? -
I am planning to book my first HT procedure with H&W (after consulting with the clinic) I realize both Dr Hasson and Dr Wong are great, so this is certainly not meant as a who is a "better" doctor. Wanted to get peoples perspective as to which doc may be better suited for my specific situation (NW6, FUE, approx 3000 graft to the frontal third.. conservative hairline) ? -
Hi Everyone, First time poster, Started losing hair at around age 22, by age 24, became more significant but could easily comb it in ways that no one would notice, age 25 accelerated, loss of hair volume, hairline slightly receded, by age 26, hairline totally gone and was unable to cover up the hairloss anymore so took the plunge. Started Fin about 6 mon ago, take usually 4-5 times a week of 1.25mg Im a local, had a consultation in september, decided to book in december I think, and had the procedure a couple days ago. When I sent it my photos, they said my consultatio -
Hello everyone - I've been on this site with an account for almost 3 years now, and I honestly can't believe I actually pulled the trigger haha. It still hasn't hit me yet. Some of you might be aware of the amazing results I have received from finasteride alone (here), but over time, those results haven't really held up, so I decided to get a hair transplant to rebuild my frontal third. I was originally planning to see Hasson and Wong in Canada earlier this year, but due to COVID and travel restrictions, that was no longer a possibility and I was losing valuable recovery time as eac

Dr. Hasson | 3,436 FUE | May 2021
tripleg replied to Mark Wolfer's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
So sounds like Dr. Hasson plans and makes the incisions and extraction and insertion is done by the techs. Is this a common approach among HT surgeons? I know Dr. Hasson (and Wong and team) is considered world class, so it must not be a red flag when a clinic does this. This is a question for everyone from a relative newb trying to understand the world of hair transplantation. -
I'm based in NY and need a 3,500 graft FUE transplant. I have booked and rescheduled multiple times with Hasson & Wong in Canada due to Covid travel restrictions. It doesn't seem like the border is going to open up anytime soon and I want to get the procedure done this summer. I'm not too concerned about price, I am looking for a good surgeon and clinic. What is the US equivalent of Hasson & Wong? I'm looking for a clinic that will have the actual doctor involved in the procedure. Thanks. -
This is why I love Dr.Wong work, amazing use of the grafts. for less than 6K grafts after less than 8 month and it is a work that some clinics won't produce after 2 surgeries and more grafts. -
If it makes a differences, I am looking to do 1600-2000 grafts, FUT. I say 1600-2000 because that's what the several HT surgeons I have consulted with gave, I understand that these surgeons will give different estimates. Btw, glad this site exists, I had consulted around in my local area, and wasn't quite satisfied with my local options. I had a 1500 grafts surgery about a decade ago, and looking fill in areas that have lost density + my hairline needs to be fixed a little from my last transplant. I am slightly leaning towards coverage over density, though from what I can tell, all -
Topical dutasteride in Canada?

I believe hasson and wong have the topical fin available. But yes the dut is on trial. -
Topical dutasteride in Canada?
shami26 replied to Mark Wolfer's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think Hasson & Wong are developing their own topicals with a compounding pharmacy. Did you mention it to them? -
I've always felt this was the case simply off the basis of surgeons specifically like Wong himself, Konior and Lorenzo for example who seemed to prove that the opposite was true. Coverage is much easier achieved in the crown by virtue of how the hair sits compared to how it does for an exposed hairline. My own is bordering on bald which is very apparent when wet but the placement makes it unnoticeable. Height of the hair is the only way someone can easily tell, which the average person is unable to. In the case that I do need to remedy further losses over the next few years though Wong -
Hello to Everyone Let me Introduce my self my name is Remy Herda, I have been involve in Hair transplant for a while I have started Back in UK working Under Ziering Medical : learn developed and train other Technician's. Worked with many Talented and well know Doctors and Team members over those years. Then my wife and I moved to Canada Vancouver BC where I started work for Hasson & Wong and helping Dr Wong Team. Then I moved to try something completely different in my life. But guess what Ladies and Gentlemen's Hair loss ewentualny catch up with -
I live in Canada and I had narrowed my search down to Dr. Hasson or Dr. Rahal a couple of months before Covid landed and now that the summer is approaching and cases are probably going to decrease I'm wondering whether the clinics have all reopened in Canada, and what people have experienced? Are the prices the same, or higher / lower than before Covid? Are the wait lists the same, or longer / shorter than before Covid? Is there any new news for either of the clinics in terms of reputation that I should know about? Like have staff stayed on board and quality remained at similar

Mixed Feelings after First HT (FUT)
JayLDD replied to elicochin's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Imo on price and graft numbers this patient should consider a clinic like Eugenix who are competent with body hair work. Depending on laxity Hasson/Wong would be my other main consideration. If the goal is simply filling the current transplanted area I still wouldn't even consider 2500 grafts viable. To fill that full NW6 area that was a job for 8k+ grafts, even with the crown completely bare this case should have been 5000 grafts to begin with. To add to that, the growth was mediocre, pretty clear from the post-ops that not everything grew. Not terrible and likely straightforward to re -
FUE (with BHT): NW 6/7
InTheSix replied to InTheSix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Update: after a few more months of pondering, very close to booking an HT. I have narrowed down 3 options (some quite different) and hoping to get some insights Recap: Advance hair loss (NW6). I understand how starting with FUT will most likely yield more lifetime grafts. I also understand strips scars can be managed expertly, and even filled with FUE/SMP later on. But I am not comfortable with FUT, and have ruled it out. I like shaving/keeping my back and side short and would like to keep that option. In addition, to mitigate the potential “lost” grafts by not going down FUT -
Well done @Melvin-Moderator... Interesting to hear Dr. Wong talk about beard hair in that he feels you can only get 300-400 grafts which is totally in contract to Eugenix who says the average man can get 3,000-4,000 beard grafts without affecting donor cosmesis. -
He looks great OP. This is my long term goal, to reach a homogeneous spread of scalp, beard and chest grafts to create a nice NW1 illusion head of hair. Rather than hair cloning, I think people should direct their attention more towards the advancement of utilising grafts more efficiently (Dr Wong recently explained how new techniques have now allowed the crown to not be classed as a black hole anymore) alongside a greater understanding and extraction of beard and chest hair grafts - see Eugenix, bisanga and Mwamba. If you can extract upto 7,000 scalp hair grafts from the -
Age 26, Norwood ~3V + retrograde + diffuse thinning (including donor) Medication: dutasteride 0.5mg/day, foam minoxidil 1-2mL/night Hair characteristics: high contrast with skin, fine, straight Cost: 2.15 euros/graft which is a discount from 2.25 euros/graft because I agreed to provide them anonymized photo updates for their own use. Posting this thread is my own choice. Though, I wish clinics would offer discounts for patients to post threads from start to finish. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, I think the price has gone up recently. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Looking back at -
I'm keen to know what Dr Arocha's advice is for people who cannot tolerate finasteride? Dr Wong gave some very interesting views. -
Hey everybody. Hope y’all are doing well in COVID-19 times. So I went ahead and did a hair transplant. Thought I’d post my results as the months go along. I lurked this forum for a while before deciding to get my scalp harvested. I appreciated the honest feedback/recommendations here so I thought I’d make a post so others with similar level of baldness/hair type can get an idea of what to expect with the # of grafts I got. I’ll update as things progress. Details: -31 years old -Had the surgery on 17/08/2020 - Started finasteride 8 months before FUE. See -
What are his views on Breezula? Will he ever compound topical fin and dut. Seems like Dr. Wong said it would be the gold standard. Does he think FUT will be irrelevant in 10 years? -
After speaking with Dr. Wong last week via our Instgram live, I thought about doing just that. A scar that looks natural and real. We all know that a straight scar from ear to ear is obviously a hair transplant, but a slightly asymmetrical scar on just one side would look natural.
