First post ever. I was all set to finally start getting serious about booking an appointment for my first transplant after 13+ years of hair loss hell. Research over the last 6 months was wild. I'm a NW4/5 with a highly recessed hairline (hello huge forehead!), badly receded temples and thinning throughout the rest. I've tried basically every medication there is except for Fin(Would rather not get into why, just know it's a decision I came to a long time ago). Currently using Minox and dermarolling. If my Father's family history is any indication I'll be a NW6 later on in life. Naturally

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 -
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. -
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. -
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? -
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. -
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 -
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.
-
I think they’re both great. Dr. Hasson does more FUE I believe, and Dr. Wong is a master for crowns. Both have their strong suits.
-
If you ask the forum, they'll probably advocate Dr. Hasson for hairlines and frontal third work. When I consulted with H & W and from what I've read from their rep, they've said that both Dr. Hasson and Dr. Wong are equally good at hairline work. -
I think it’s that androgens affect the donor. There’s retrograde alopecia, and overall a really bald man still has a thin donor. I think it depends on the person. Someone with retrograde alopecia and a NW7 hair loss pattern is more likely to have their HT thin. I also think a lot of the FUE results which got hair from near the crown or at the nape could thin over time too. As for the topical dut/fin. I believe Dr. Wong believes both of these treatments will be the gold standard. Based on efficacy and low side effect profile.

Great interview. The most interesting thing about it to me was how unequivocally Dr. Wong said that HT's will thin. He also speculated that there might something different in the recipient region that causes hair to thin. So perhaps the DHT is not necessarily attached to the follicular root but more of a regional thing (?)... -
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 -
It's definitely not approved by the FDA. I haven't even heard of trials or anything for it? Topical dut is a thing but it's not widely adopted or researched. At the moment, you could argue it's similar to a lot of other speculative drugs like Breezula or RU. And there's a lot of drugs out there that people claim works or they're using off-label or getting it shipped from some Chinese lab or is currently in trials. So when you have a top doctor like Dr. Wong say that he thinks topical dut is the future, it really makes people feel like we found the next proven thing. Yeah we have Breezula

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 -
@H & W Doug Thanks for posting this, it is exactly what I was asking. Do you have pictures of his donor? 👏🏼 Dr. Wong great job
-
Wow! this sounds interesting! I've been contemplating ordering topical dut but since I didn't see any "real" results I didn't pull the trigger yet. Dr. Wong reply to you was indeed interesting.. Hope soon is tomorrow! 😂 -
Dr. Ozlem Bicer Instagram Live Q&A May 1st
Mycroft replied to Melvin-Moderator's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
As one of the few Turkish clinics offering strip, I'm just curious when the last FUT was performed in her clinic. As you discussed with Dr. Wong the demand for FUT is lower, and because Turkey in particular is a magnet for young guys looking specifically for FUE on a budget, it feels like most of them have never even considered strip. -
Thanks for the interesting Live! Loving the series. Would love to see a Live with Dr. Mwamba about HT's and about Topicals (FIN, DUT, MIN) since he sells them and hopefully have data to support Dr. Wong claims about topical duta.
-
Really interesting to hear one of the top docs in the world endorse topical dutasteride. Not that the other doctors like Dr. Wesley aren't top docs, but hearing Dr. Wong outright saying he believes it's the future intrigues me. Obviously there are a few docs that are selling it, but listening to an endorsement from Dr. Wong really makes me feel a lot more confident about it. Might be time I send Dr. Mwamba some money... Also, thanks for asking my question. I hope Curious's question was satisfactorily answered for him as well. So it does seem like you can't determine for sure but with an e
-
Yes, it did get a little muffled. But Dr. Wong didn’t want to say too much other than he believes topical fin and dut will become the gold standard, very exciting
-
Great interview......Sound was a little off during medication discussion - @Melvin-Moderator - did I hear or understand correctly that topical DUTASTERIDE is what Dr.Wong thinks will likely be the gold standard moving forward.....even more so than topical finasteride?
