noteman100 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have thinning hair all over my scalp, no receding. I am 47 and would like to thicken it with a possible transplant. I am afraid of "tramatizing" my scalp with a HT, and lose any more of my existing hair. Any feedback and recomendations will be appreciated including who does the best ultra fine single folicular transplants in the Northeast, by needle, not thr bigger incisions.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 noteman, Welcome to our forum community. Just to clarify... Needles are one of the tools used to make recipient incisions but are not the only that are used to create small fine incisions. There are also small precut and custom cut flat blades that can create very fine small incisions that will minimize trauma to the scalp. I am not sure what you mean by "single folllicular transplants". Are you referring to single haired follicular unit grafts or simply follicular unit hair transplantation which takes hairs in groups of 1 to 4 as they occur naturally in the scalp? The gold standard today in hair transplantation is ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation which includes the making of small incisions with ultra refined tools giving the physician the ability to do larger densely packed hair transplant sessions when appropriate for the patient. Physician members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians perform this type of surgery. The Coalition physicians closest to you (all in NY) are: Dr. True Dr. Feller Dr. Dorin Dr. Epstein Dr. Bernstein Dr. Rose I encourage you to use the "find" feature of our community by searching for a physician's last name to see what their patients are saying. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted December 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2007 Peraps the best way to minimize or prevent shockloss is by strengthening your existing hair via propecia and rogaine, first and foremost; going to a highly skilled, elite surgeon is another critical factor. Also, regarding "shockloss", if the above is done, it will likely be temporary shockloss or permanent shockloss to hairs that were already on their way out. As for "best" surgeons in the Northeast it is tough to say, and you should certaintly consult with several that catch your eye and get a better idea as to who is the best for you. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

noteman100 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks for the input Bill! The "ultra fine FU" link you sent is what I am thinking. My hair is too close to do the other kinds. But I am afraid of tramitizing my scalp and losing more of my existing hair, have you heard of such a thing? I was in Dr Leonards office in RI and not impressed with his pictures of his patient's results. Before I go to NYC does anyone know a REAL GOOD DR closer to Providence or Boston areas? -thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Aquarius Posted December 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2007 NO. This area has ( Boston/ New England )the best in someways and the worst in others, said , hair transplant "WORST". If you can't afford to travel you cannot afford the h/t journey. Otherwise you will be obliged to. Is that Dinasaour still working under the "prenticeship" of Chambers? That f'er messed up minions. I was hoping that they were able to revive the prick and keep him on life support for 20 years. P.S. never trust anyone with a permatan other than Sean Connery. A hair on the head is worth two on the brush. I don't work for commision.. I bust e'm for free. Thank me later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 noteman, Yes, the loss of hair due to scalp trauma you are referring to is shock loss. I recommend reading the above article to become more familiar with it. Best wishes in selecting a quality hair restoration physician, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
