it's a little unlikely that even if PFS were real, an informal survey of a room full of hair transplant doctors would reflect that. It would require somebody on finasteride, stopping, having persistent side effects they attribute it to the drug, mentioning it to a hair transplant doctor, and the doctor believing them.

Thanks I was interested in the full hair fue,but hair is curly so the info was helpful

Lots of info, I appreciate the 360 degree review. Nice review of FUE and FUT, and their frequency ('younger surgeons possibly not learning it'). The FUT scars I see at the gym are prominent, and often on bald heads (which tells me the whole idea doesn't always work). But, I've been hesitant of FUE for over 20 years after seeing a couple guys with bald heads with deep pock marks that looked like a golf ball. Maybe it was something else, since I didn't confirm. Also, thanks for the mention of PFS. although my use/stoppage and long-time symptoms point to it, I also know enough physiology and statistics to think there is a greater chance of other factors like medical incidents, etc, but the timing is uncanny so probably a combination, as many probably are. What I never understood was why I was prescribed by a hair restoring Doctor - that alone raised a red flag that I ignored - it seemed to imply 'try this, and when it doesn't work, come back.' OR, do they get kickbacks on the pharma sales? It's tough, it's really tough, I'll probably need a shrink before I need any other doctor.

I just had my second FUE procedure and both haven’t netted me over 800 grafts per session. The clinic had difficulty extracting grafts bc my hair follicles are deep/long so FUT is most likely my only option to get a high number of grafts in a single session

@drgarylinkov Doc, does miconeedling restore the receding hair line? Or is it only recovered by transplant?

These sound less like problems with the technique itself but more with the surgeon and a lack of aftercare. AFAIK it's rare to continue to lose significant hair when on the proper medication - and if you lost donated hair, that's either surgeon or patient error. Granted, getting a surgery and not going on Fin or Dutasteride is a waste for almost everyone, unless you're already very old and stable.

Great video!! I agree, FUT has a great place still in the field of hair transplant surgery. I did three last month and have another coming up next month. Thank you for the summary from the conference in Morocco!

How much for the eyebrows FUE hair transplant costs? How long for the procedure? Thanks!

Any discussion at the underlying condition that causes hair loss in men? How far away are we from solving that issue?

Can you do a video about hairlines? How you determine a proper one...red flags, amount of grafts etc

Over life time, i believe combo of fut and fue yields extra 3000 grafts, while fut only like 5000-6000 extra vs fue only. It was a study done. The scar itself, depends on the ability of surgeon to close it nicely. Some close it so nicely, you can barely see it on clean shaven head. One of the best closures come from dr Saifi in Wroclaw, he used to be surgeon, and from Hattingen in Swiss.

I like their attitudes.

I love your hairlines they always look so natural

@drgarylinkov

Thanks!!!

I've seen comparisons where the FUE procedure cumulatively creates more scar area - just spread out. It seems FUE might have a higher transection rate. Longer hair covers any potential scar, and SMP can be used if a scar remains. It also seems like it would be a less taxing day for the doctor.

I did 2500 graphs (~they counted, i just go with the figure). Its been 8? months since then.. Im on Minoxidil pill + some extras (vitamins, collagen, saw palmetto, etc). At some point i could swear a lot of the implanted hair didn't survived.. say afte month 1-2, when hair was shorter.. like +30% of it (cause after first days i was seeing a particular density.. latter, after it fell & then regrown, including now, i see empty spots + lower density) So, it makes me think.. first, maybe they did something wrong.. or i did? Or, if it would have been better to split into 2 smaller operations...

This guy hasn’t got a clue

What about the DHI procedure?

One advice: If you think you might need more than 1 HT surgery, I would strongly consider doing FUT first. That way they can remove a strip with thousands of grafts, and your donor area will pretty much be ready to go again with no thinning for the next surgery. Doing several FUE HT's will quickly mess up your donor area.

No finasteride/durasteride, I have been taking oral minoxidil for about a year now, I stopped loosing my hair, is also not as thin and some how my scalp looks ¿"denser/fuller"?

what is the new developments?

Have you experience with administering low doses of topical finasteride (0.025%) in your clinic and seeing any results from it? Or what is your take on it? I'm skeptic about it but i cant even tolerate 0.25mg oral

Dr. Linkov, I am a seventy year old MtoF trans person. I take 150 mg of spironolactone daily. I have been doing various things to regrow hair like minoxidil, a rosemary oil mixture, scalp massage, and derma rolling, and have seen some minor results. My testosterone level is nearly zero and my estradiol level is about 150 -170. I am thinking of adding finasteride to my regime. My question is, can I benefit from finasteride if I am taking spironolactone and my testosterone level is quite low? Also, can finasteride substitute for spironolactone in reaching my target testosterone level as a trans woman? Also, I am as Ph.D. statistician and I think both quantitative and qualitive analysis of results is helpful. Both need to be incorporated in any medical practice, no matter what the medical specialty. I think your videos are great. I am considering hair transplantation and will likely have a consult with you via telemedicine. Thank you so much.

Finasteride is a DHT blocker, DHT attaches to Testosterone, so if youre testosterone is already nearly nothing there's no DHT affecting your hairloss.

I'd be really interested in a more in-depth discussion about the advantages and disadvantages to FUT/FUE. There seems to be a divide in what doctors think about it. Some doctors are really pro-FUE (and indeed that's basically exclusively what is done in Turkey as far as I can tell), whereas other doctors feel like FUT is typically the way to go, especially if a patient is young and likely to have more surgery in the future (see e.g. The Hair Loss Show or Bloxham/Feller here on KZread).

There is the developmental saline solution that reduces scarring. Hair would regrow from repaired areas. If this works you would regrow hair from donor areas after fue surgeries to be used again later for more surgeries. Basically farming.

I heard that there is now a consent to do several trials by the bigger names - are you happen to be involved, or have you heard any details about this? Indivivual trials have been already done (or ongoing) by Dr. Bloxham and Dr. Barghouti, but a more extended one would be very benefical to see if it adds any real value on the donor area.

Stem cell follicles are still in the experimental stages . There's no set timeline for when it will be available for human use. Researchers are actively exploring the potential of stem cells for hair growth and regeneration. It's important to note that any new treatment developments will require rigorous testing and clinical trials before they can be approved for human use. With the evolution of AI and technological advancements, we could see something like cloning or stem cells by 2035 or sooner whether you want to believe it or not. We're not living in the 2010's no more and I'll argue that we're further ahead that we were in 2020-2021.

Personally I’m glad to hear that hair transplants can be done without have to shave your hair off. As someone who has had a brain tumour where I was one years old, a bump die to it and a big scar… Although I am going bolder at all costs would never want my hair fully shaved.

I am the recipient of 3 FUT procedures from 2006 to 2012, totaling approximately 10,000 grafts. Although all three were successful and the results satisfactory, there is now a large degree of thinning in the donor area and around the lower sides. There is no way I could have a fourth procedure without severely compromising the donor area at this point. Therefore, the only option I see is for her multiple clip of her hair multiplication/clothing to finally become a reality. It's been talked about for too long and needs to happen. Thoughts?

Your hair will go back to normal and the thinning/balding will continue slowly or fast depending on your genetics .

I have to speak out that I legitimately had Post-Finasteride Syndrome that lasted roughly 2 years after stopping Finasteride. Because of the nature of the side effects, I’m hesitant to share them in great detail but someone needs to do it. It’s also worth noting that men generally don’t seek medical attention for things like this as often as women do. I’m certain that the reason those doctors don’t see many cases is because most men wouldn’t go back to a hair specialist to report concerns. Maybe their GP who probably wouldn’t record the case. The patient probably just hopes it gets better and waits it out. Especially when it’s something ‘embarrassing’ like your you know what turning as clear as water and then taking 2 years to go back to normal.
