Dr. Ron Shapiro-2917 Grafts/5557 Hairs

[Janna]

A 12 months follow up appointment was held over the phone today. Patient had diffused thinning throughout the top half of his head with persistent frontal forelock hairs. From the front, his loss was difficult to assess but top and side views reveal his hair loss in better detail. Since the patient is in his mid 20’s, Dr. Ron Shapiro took the cautious approach (hairline was not brought down, coverage addressed a large area). And, the patient was made aware of the risks of shock loss and possible future ht work if hair loss progressed.

 

With his results from SMG and his daily regimen to keep his native hairs, he is absolutely thrilled with the coverage, density and naturalness. If he does lose more, he stated he’d gladly come back to SMG.

 

We chatted about the effectiveness of the low level laser. He felt the laser along with Propecia worked well to keep his native hairs. The typical 14-15 shed hairs he used to see in the mornings dwindled down to 5-6 hairs. We’re pleased he has not noticed further hair loss progression and that he couldn’t be happier with his HT results.

 

Daily regimen: Propecia, biotin, vitamins & hand held low level laser treatments

Janna,

 

What an excellent transformation! It looks like a combination of good hair characteristics and refined work really created a dynamite result. Nicely done!

Janna,

 

This is nothing short of fantastic! I agree with Blake, this patient's excellent hair characteristics have certainly helped his illusion of density but credit has to go to Dr. Shapiro's ultra-refined technique.

 

Thanks for sharing!

I can't wait till i have my consultation with Dr Shapiro in less than 2 weeks. Actually a little over 1 week. This man is truly amazing. I can't even tell he once had hair loss.

Another amazing result by Dr. Ron Shapiro!

 

I spent the last year traveling the US and Canada visiting with the top HT doctors listed on this forum about additional transplant work. (I had about 3000 grafts done in the late 90's by a surgeon that is now retired). I have had a little additional loss in the temple area. My conclusion - for any future HT work I will only see Dr. Ron Shapiro for my surgery.

Truly amazing, Dr. Shapiro and Janna!! This looks as good as if he had 4000 grafts. And the hairline is PERFECT.

Impeccable.

This patient has been great at sending pics we need of his progress. There was a request for more pics with wet hair on another forum so I thought I'd post them here too.
