    Finally got my transplant last Tuesday from Dr. Lincov. Hands down AMAZING results already showing and when I tell you EXACTLY what he says he does from start to finish is EXACTLY what he does and this is his exact same personality and how he speaks. I’m VERY satisfied. From Registered Nurse to doctor thank you again Dr. Lincov and your team. Blessings.

    ​@@drgarylinkov Not sure where to ask this, but as far as the scientific literature i've read over the last few years indicates, swelling isn't the villain it used to be deemed as for recovery. Seems that despite the relief cold or elevation (from RICE) might give from pain or pressure, more blood flow to the area seems to help the area heal better. Would this apply to a hair transplant, too? Seems another important factor in recovery is sleep, so resting slightly more horizontal after a procedure might be conducive to better sleep and more blood juice to the head to nurture and heal the grafts. It's also totally possible the swelling around the head would just induce headaches and pressure to the point they can't sleep at all. What's the good Doctor Linkov's take on this. Cheers for all the insight,

    That's the main "physical health consequence" of baldness. UV damage, e.g., skin cancer is significantly more prevalent for people with no/much less hair. Androgenic alopecia also considerably worsens the quality/"thins your skin" (all layers except the galea). I've not found studies on this, but since hair follicles are also involved in healing damaged skin/wound healing, there might be other adverse effects not scientifically investigated/known.

    Finasteride does not “lower testosterone”, it lowers DHT. The medication actually RAISES systemic testosterone (by about 10-15%) as less of it is being 5 alpha-reduced and converted to DHT.

    Yes, but DHT is a much more potent androgen than testosterone. So, any effects of higher testosterone would be more than offset by the lower DHT levels. This refers most commonly to sexual side effects and motivation and energy levels.

    ​​​@@ordoabchao4202 DHT is very androgenic but it is ONLY effective in the areas it's produced (prostate, skin and hair follicles) as an adult man since the hormone is intracrine in the tissues it's produced rather than endocrine like testosterone. It doesn't matter how adrogenic it is when it can't be used beyond the tissues it's produced. Most other areas in your body deactivates DHT by 3a-HSD and turns it into a very weak androgen called 3α-diol. Saying it's some super charged testosterone is straight up BS. If you replaced all your testosterone with DHT it would be effectively the same as castrating yourself. The reason why you can get sexual side effects from finasteride is not because you lower DHT but because you raise testosterone by around 10% when you take it which means you will have a slightly higher conversion of testosterone to estrodiols and for men that are especially sensetive to estrodiols will experience problems with their libido.

    My older brother started balding in his mid 20s while my hairline stayed strong, I used to poke gentle fun at him over it. I just kind of assumed that maybe I'd be one of the lucky few who get to keep their hair into old age, we have a few men in my family who have done.. then about a year ago at 31, my balding started making up for lost time. I went from a full head of very thick hair to the receding hair line and pretty intense thinning on the crown very quickly. Karma for my jokes at my brothers expense. Needless to say he's enjoying it very much.

Xanax or Valium wouldn't help much as I already am prescribe the afore 1mg 3 x daily. Not because I like them, I've been on them for 15 years due to panic attacks and night terrors. I have terrible panic attacks so my Dr and I choose this and I still suffer horrible night terrors. It is unbelievable I get stuck in dreams where I'm being tortured by very evil people. I can't recall if I feel pain but I don't wake until someone hears me scream and shakes me. I'm not quite sure who the people in those dreams terrorizing me are but thinking now likely my last dentist with his evil needles and chair he never warns when he will push me up or down. Yeah I do need general anesthesia and then a needle prior to waking for that pain!

    This was such a well documented video and thanks for your commentary. I'm a month since my FUE in Turkey and it's a long road. The biggest struggle first month is the washing of hair with the foam and shampoo, washing hair everyday and not being able to apply a cream just made my scalp feel so dry. I eventually used aloe Vera gel after week 3. The itchiness just stopped like a week ago, the donor area. It wasn't a bad itch but there. I didn't leave a feedback for my clinic when though they wanted a video of me while there, I prefer to wait the whole post op than leave a review on the day of the operation. They were nice, professional and hopefully 6 months time I'll be able to document my journey too but nothing before. I'm not going to send hopefuls to a clinic just because they were nice on the day of the OP. 20:28, if Finisteride is to prevent hair loss, and I've had HT of good follicles to transplant area, what's the logic behind using it? It's so depressing to think one would use a tablet for life at a risk of E.D, I'd rather be a bald head with a full hard one than Tarzan with head full of hair and got a floppy snake 🐍. Thanks for the video.

I am not confident that it is entirely true though, so I would love your thoughts. Thank you!

    Doctor I have a question. Is it recommended to stop taking finesteride and minoxidil before your hair transplant? As someone who has been taking both for a few years now and have decided to go through with surgery, I've geen told to stop taking it about a month before the procedure and was just curious on your thoughts.

    if you've already been taking it I think just continue, from what I've heard they suggest you don't start before, so that the transplant doctor can judge the donor area better... however taking it before means that you wont need as many grafts as you've stabilised more hair

    @Dimitri: The continuous intake of Finasteride is very important to protect the transplanted hair from attacks of DHT, and to keep the hair you still have.Using minoxidil on freshly transplanted sites, I would be very careful, would even suspend it for some time. Unfortunately, minoxidil and finasteride have a synergistic effect. The quality of the hair that is affected could decrease.
