I am just so happy to see your own head growing hair. After all you've done for others, it is great to see you doing so well.
Doctor Rassman is such a kind man, he provides a free consultation for people simply for emailing him and is constantly active on reddit answering questions for people going through hair loss and considering hair transplants. Don't think anyone so accomplished has donated more of their time to the average person.
Thank you for interviewing Dr. Rassman. He's a legend and is still going strong.
I really appreciate this interview. This had shifted my considerations of seeking treatment overseas to really sitting down and studying surgeons with general surgical backgrounds than simply those “specialized in hair transplant surgery”. I sure hope this conversation includes women’s hair transplants too as I understand our considerations vary differently from male patterned hair loss
I just want to remark what a huge journey dr.Gary went through and what an amazing milestone this interview is. Thank you for all the education that you've been putting out for the past several years, it really helped me to start pushing back on my hair loss. I hope some day soon i'll start making enough money to fly from Russia to the NYS and finally get a transplant in the City facial plastics clinic. Ещё раз огромное спасибо за вашу работу и привет вам из Санкт-Петербурга)

This is amazing. Worth the listen.
Wrassman is a freaking legend. Good shit.
I did not think I was going to be able to finish listening all the way to end, but I kept listening and Dr. Gary carried conversation well and Dr. Rassman with vast knowledge and experience made it interesting to listen. Thank you for such a educational video.
wow... that is extremely educational. what an interview not to mention the interviewer and the interviewee top notch. Thank you doctor Rassman for your honest opinion and insight about FUE etc...all the content in this interview is beneficial for anyone considering FUE.
What a great man, thanks for sharing and having Dr. Rossman.
What an amazing interview. I got FUT from an elite surgeon on the west coast. I will be seeing you in the future Dr. Linkov for an eyebrow resotoration. Ive done my research :)
it was always a thought of me as to how it all began and now you got to interview the doctor who started it all! great share! thank you to the genius and to Dr Gary for making this possible & by the way happy to see you got your hair back (I must be missing out on quite a few videos but never mind!)
Thank you for such a fascinating, insightful and intelligently crafted interview Doctor Gary. Very interesting on many levels and very positive for the (near) future of hair loss treatment and therapy. Doctor Rassman was so articulate and generous in this conversation. Thank you for all your videos Dr. Gary.
This is a great interview. I find it very informative and I love Dr. Rassman. He’s every patients dream Dr. He really cares about his patients and about making sure patients get the best information out there to help them select what’s best for them.

Agreed!
By far the most informative and refreshing hair transplant video thus far. A compass on the map of hair transplantation.❤
Although I appreciate all of Dr Gary's videos, I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did! Wow! 😃 This Dr Rassman is an amazing human being! I got such respect and admiration for him through this! His willingness to admit any shortcomings in the technology is such a trust building quality. And his humor is on point! 😂 Thank you for this, Dr. Gary! Very informative and entertaining.
Holy crap... I read on his own website that a consultation alone with Dr Gary is $500.00!😳 I'm wondering if that fee alone is to separate the time wasters vs the clients that are actually willing to spent upwards of $50,000 for a transplant or not.

Extremely educational - thank you both for doing this!
Loved watching this. Thank you Dr. Linkov and Dr. Rassman!
I really appreciate this interview. I've been following the hair loss industry for a while. I tried finasteride over 5 years ago, however, I had side effects and developed stomach issues and allergic reactions to certain foods. I stopped finasteride after a few months. I've been patiently waiting for new treatments to be developed.
Wow! Thank you for posting this!
Gonna watch the whole thing after work. Hope you guys discussed dermarolling, its been doing wonders for me 😊

@drgarylinkov Please do a video about ways to address double chin and chubby jowls in younger people (20 to 30 years old). Can you talk about the FaceTite procedure with the InMode radio-frequency device combined with liposuction? I am 25 years old and a plastic surgeon and also a dermatologist proposed this solution to me but I am not sure: InMode FaceTite + liposuction + Morpheus 8 (all combined in one session). This is getting very popular in my country (Romania). I have a normal weight but I have a genetic duble chin and chubby jowls, I would like a more defined jaw with no double chin. I don't know if there are any good ways to achieve that which are not damaging in the long term.

Wow. He did mine through NHI in 96.
Thanks for the great info Drs. Much appreciated!
Thank you, wonderful informative interview!
Great interview. Dr. Rassman's own crown hair transplant seems to be holding up well.
Amazing video very informative thank you
Correction: the founder of hair transplants was Dr. Norman Orentreich, back in 1959. I know, I had a few "plugs" in the crown area done by him in 1980. But FUE was a great advancement and made hair transplants more natural and acceptable.

Amazing 🙏🏼 thank you
This is an incredible video, thank you for this interview! I wish there was more focus on the fear of finasteride due to gynecomastia and gynecomastia recurrence after surgery rather than PSF as gynecomastia is a visible possible side effect. no one ever cares to talk about this 😢 it’s my only reason for not taking it yet
Super cool interview.
Very interesting interview.

Dr. Linkov, I am sure you have been following the updates on verteporfin, would you be open to start trials with it too?
Amazing video dr ❤ so so appreciate it just wish your transplant was a little cheaper lol
One important point regarding fue vs fut reality is that fue besides being more in demand is also more profitable for most clinics charging more and the ability to have technicians remove grafts allowing more surgeries to be done in one day. Starting with FUT will give greater graft yield over lifetime besides obtaining hair from best donor zone.

I am in my 60’s and the newer drugs would never work on me. I have Crohn’s Disease and I had a full head of hair at age 18 and right after my first major resection surgery I lost all my hair in 6 months. My first surgery had complications with a major infection and I ended up staying in the hospital for 6 weeks in a special room where everyone visiting has to wear a paper suit and a mask. This was in 1975. That was very traumatic losing my hair at that age. Being made fun of really hurt too at that age. I am lucky there is a drug called Humira and it stopped my Crohn’s from doing damage to my small intestine but this was after three major resection surgeries. I started taking Humira in 2008 so it has been 15 years and there has been no sign of my Crohn’s after 6 colonoscopies. I wonder if my Crohn’s and infection was the cause of me losing my hair so fast. Great interview by the way. The doctor sounded like a very smart man. I wonder if he is working on inventing newer clean energy patients.
Crazy video
What about stem cell transplanting/ injecting before the proposed future treatments?
I've met this good doctor in person decades ago he just looks different now because he's had a lot of plastic surgery but you know I wasn't overly impressed I saw him as first a businessman trying to make money with the person as a patient and the didactics of the hair growth actually just coming second some people put the con in confidence
I wasn't aware that ones balding could be reversed through medical therapy. I am aware of it preventing further loss. What medication is able to possibly reverse balding?
The issue regarding the hair transplant and hair loss treatment in my country is that lots of "specialists" are just after your money while giving you a short term results. I've seen plenty of people who did hair transplant surgery and after few months the hair falls off without any regrow. And the surgery costs a lot more than the living standards. Doc, is there a way to contact you regarding a hair issue?

I'd love to hear you have a discussion with doctors performing leg lengthening surgery. Its becoming more and more popular on social media, and in silicon valley. A lot of business professionals partaking in it here.
What's where his patterns ?
Hi, dr GL! I'm sure you've been following the recent interest in the veteporfin in the hairloss community. Would you be open to start your own trials with it? And even if not, I'm sure we all would be very interested to hear your thoughts about this medication
Dear Drs. can you please give your thoughts on hair cloning please .
Thoughts on Verteporfin?
Iconic
Why no videos on RCP or GFC?
Yasssssssssss
Sadly I believe that 99% of clinics offering hair transplants do see the customer as a source of income rather then think of him as a long term patient.
this video makes me feel that I should have done Phd or something and made some difference in the society by inventing stuff...
this is a cool video
Could Bimatoprost (the component in Glaucoma eyedrops, which showed to grow longer and fuller eyelashes as a side-effect) be a potential remedy against hairloss and/or baldness too?? I mean, hairfollicles are hairfollicles, right? I realize that the therapeutic amount will greatly differ and consequently make treatments pretty pricey (for us mere mortals) but I'm sure you could afford it; alternatively, being a licensed doctor, you can probably get yourself a regular prescription from a befriended ophthalmologist [wink wink, nudge nudge]😁), surely it would be worth trying? PS: I'm glad for you that you're growing back your hair but, tbh, I liked you better before (not everyone looks good without their hair, but *you* do): Just my 2-cents...😉
Dr. Rassman mentioned the potential future 2 hour FUE with one assistant up to 3000 grafts, will this dramatically decrease the cost of the procedure itself and by how much if you had to guess? Thanks.
I can't believe that MAIN reason for failure for cloned hair transplantology is infection
Can you do an analysis of chris hemsworth potential jaw implant / face filler?
What was that Dr's name in Toronto. Because I had my first FUE in Toronto in 2012.

Can you do a Jane Fonda video about her plastic surgery please I really love ur videos
Why are people not researching better synthetic hair (that doesn't give people infection)? Seems like possibly a more feasible problem to solve than hair cloning.
You guys should do a video on Neymar Jr’s hair loss
I don't remember reading anything positive about this doctor over the last 40 years. As far as FUE is concerned Dr. Woods out of Australia is the true pioneer much to the resistance of the industry as it could not adopt it fast enough nor could it compete with the ease/profit of FUT. The whole industry is based on math which is not going to work for most unless expectations are not very high. This is hard to find with those most desperate when hair loss first strikes which would be the young. But that doesn't stop most of these doctors from not fully explaining the math. I have not put too much work into my own YT channel but I will at some point. There are not enough warnings out there with so many marketers making money. I believe I am the first hair transplant patient who wrote a book that covers the industry & some of its history. I am not pushing it but it's out there "Hair Transplant Real" What a horrific industry that has destroyed countless lives. Most have no idea. The book was cathartic. It took me decades to get around to it but I knew someone had to put it out there. Thanks.

This is a good interview and the hair loss world needs more quality information. Much of the hair loss info is total garbage. Also, I get frustrated with talks on post finasteride syndrome and side effect reporting in medicine in general. I took this drug for a year and have permanent damage of my libido among other things. Ive talked to many men with similar issues.

@@maalikserebryakov Finasteride is known to potentially cause sexual side effects, but it does not affect every single user in this way. All we’ll structured clinical trials and studies show a range of incidence rates for these side effects, and they are typically not permanent for the majority of users. There is a lot of brush over from PCPs about this issue and it’s poor practice to not be more informed about this with your patients. This does not change the fact that these symptoms only occur in a minority of those who are prescribed the drug, regardless of how many users on Reddit forums would angrily tell you otherwise, because they refuse to believe they just got unlucky.
