biggest problem a lot of people have is they dont EDUCATE themselves on well....HAIR. They play the clueless card when somethign happens or blame the surgeon (which isnt always fair to do). I spent over 3 years on and off, learning about FUE and FUT, before having gotten my first FUE procedure. I knew 100% what I needed to do before, after, during, and for the rest of my life. I hate seeing some of these terrible results due to their ignorance but before you trust a surgeon, you gotta respect the procedure thats going to be done and understand everything about it. Its life changing and permanent.
It blows my mind that people go under the knife without understanding everything but I believe it. Some people just hear what they want then complain after because they just filled in the details with there imagination and had unreal expectations
@@drgarylinkovdoc can you make a video on necrosis caused because of hair transplant it’s the most important thing which is not letting me to take a decision! would be really helpfully
Dr Gary can you do a video on the following subjects: Minoxidil (topical too)side effects claims: sexual dysfunction, collagen destruction, skin laxity, bags under eyes. Topical melatonin for hair loss: You haven't put it in your product, so one assumes you're not impressed with research on it. Topical spironolactone for hair loss. People with aggressive hair loss seem to have a low opinion of it, others seem to have a more favourable view. Exercise as a factor in skin youthfulness. Some recent research has been quite positive about resistance training. Oral hyaluronic acid for skin hydration giving a modest reduction in wrinkle depth. ..though probably makes facial scars appear worse, cheers
I had a hairtransplant on the 1st of March. They told me my hair would fall out after couple weeks but that didnt happen. My hair is already growing like crazy. I dont drink alcohol, dont smoke and work out daily maybe thats the trick with Some luck. And yes i use fina + minoxidil.
The transplanted hairs can take a few months to enter the “ugly duckling” phase. A very small percentage of people simply never experience the ugly duckling phase of a hair transplant, too. You could just be one of those few people.
I take minox/dutasteride, vitamins etc. I didn't drink or vape for the first two months, started working out again after 3 weeks however after about 2 weeks then hair started falling out. It has nothing to do with any of the things you've mentioned.
Totally happy w/ my fue hair transplant, performed over 15 years ago. I had a great surgeon. I have zero signs of the strip scar through my hair. I had my surgery done in San Francisco at the time, but now the surgeon is in Austin Texas. His name is Dr Daniel McGrath
My first transplant had amazing results, far exceeded my expectations. My second is still healing, the hairs just started to grow (3,5 months) but there are so many ingrowing hairs this time, a little painful, is this normal? P.S. I have kinky hair.
I need help. I'm on month 9 into my hair transplant that I did in turkey. My frontal scalp and hairline has bumps and ingrown hairs. Looks like sports all over. I'm currently using hydrocortisone steroid cream for 3 days, its taking forever. The clinic that I spoke to said it is not foliculitis but it looks like it. I'm going to see a doctor in the UK where I'm from to take a look at it. I think I've had a failed hair transplant and I'm really depressed.
Pubic and armpit hair have thicker cuticles to protect them from the damp (and ammonia rich in the case of pubes 😅) environments they are found in. I'm not sure if they actually grow faster but the growth phase is also shorter which explains the shorter maximum hair length, while the retention phase is longer
@@Kashif121472because they have different texture/properties than your head hair. I wouldn't want curly pubes on my head when my hair is normally pretty straight
Hey Doc I don’t understand how transplanted hair is normally able to flourish when it’s being placed in the same area which just previously underwent balding ?its not like DHT gives translated hair a pass
The reason transplanted hair doesnt fall out is because the hair on the sides and back is DHT resistant at the follicular level. If you were to move a hair from the hairline to the back of the scalp it would eventually fall out as it is sensitive at the follicular level.
He did say you can surgically remove the scarred area but not always as it depends if there is enough skin to remove the scarred area etc. Also you will get another scar where the suture is done but probably very minimal compared to the original one. You can do a FUE transplant too. I think the tattoo option is a good compromise and I've seen some good results with that.
@@blackiesun Interesting. So are you saying they tattoo over the scar to make it less visible? The big problem with that, or any hair transplant really, is that you can't really shave your head very close, or even go totally bald because the scars look horrendous. Not sure a tattoo where the scar was would look any better than the scar itself...
My hair is falling out. I have an appointment for a dermatologist very soon here. My hair has dandruff and constant shedding I was using head and shoulders for years and suddenly started experiencing hair loss mid 2022. I used coal tar and then used nizoral. Nothing is working. Any thoughts. I’m 39 m with moderate stress.
It happens and what's even worse... unless you take drugs (which can have sexual side effects)to diminish DHT in the scalp, your transplanted hair will also eventually thin and fall out. Don't fall for all the scams... all they do it take $$$ out of your pocket.
@@mageguy3 he was nice but just said it was dermatitis but I think it could be mercury poison from silver filling that are breaking down so it’s still an issue for me
unfortunately not as many as nature had there originally... and that's because you're not just filling in one square inch of scalp, but several... and you only have so many hairs on your head that can be transplanted.
@@carlosalenduran4630 Yep in fact he should be imprisoned. I first learned about Loria because I had hair loss and was just checking out what procedures were available. On this guy's site he talks about various surgeries, genital surgery and even proposes implanting fake hair in the future. HAHA
You're supposed to get a HT when you're starting to go bald. Not when you look like Dr. Phil. A HT is not a miracle. It can't "reserve" pattern baldness.
@@TwistedLullabies well..my understanding is that finasteride increases the incidence of male breast cancer in some individuals…so it is something to consider.
@@TwistedLullabies no..that’s a study…but be that as it may…testosterone fluctuations are not to be laughed at. I’m not suggesting that even I wouldn’t try finasteride..just be aware that everything carries a risk…that’s all.
I think some of these people just aren’t happy in life in general. Complaining about their hair is just one way to express that despair. If they were happier in life they would be happier with their result, or at least it wouldn’t bother them as much.
Kind of like you are right? They haven't had desire results so they are moaning, kind of acceptable. While you are talking down on them because you don't like them moaning. Less acceptable because they didn't come and moan on your face. Why is that bothering you. According to your theory you must be unhappy too
Your *husband* has a scar from a hair transplant that you think is SO bad that *your* life is destroyed? To the point where *you* cry when you see it and you want to die? Are you serious?!! How does your husband feel about the scar? Hopefully he’s not as unhappy as you are? And hopefully you’re not making him feel bad by telling him that his scar is so hideous that YOU think YOUR life is destroyed. GROW UP!! The available options for improving the look of these scars was given in this video by the doctor so if your husband is unhappy then do some research and look into these possibilities to improve the scar’s appearance.
@@Mere_Puffery this scar made me depressed alooot because im alot perfectionist and im obsessed about it. The words can not explain my mood but for me it was the worst happen
I appreciate your content but I would like you to take pfs more seriously and would appreciate if you did a video on the dangers of dht suppressants. The only reason the risks are minimised is because of the medical industrial complex and there’s too much money in dht suppressants when really these treatments shouldn’t be used accept for maybe topically.
@@kadenkay5353 Great! It’s not an opinion. You can have no side effects for years and get post finasteride syndrome. It will not occur in everyone but 2% of patients experience side effects, if this surgeon treats 200 people per year that’s 4 people he’s potentially ruining their lives, pfs is debilitating for those who got it.
@@RoxusRemo Simply google “Post-finasteride syndrome” there’s many sites and forums dedicated to it with passionate communities whose lives have been ruined yet many people in medicine continually dismiss and denigrate them.
It depends how old you are. My hair loss started at 17 and at that age its nearly impossible to be accepting of your situation. I committed to a hair transplant at 21 and my hair looks amazing now. Almost back to its former glory entirely. Its all about doing your research and choosing a competent clinic.
@yumyum723 That's cool. It's just that many men look good if they go totally bald, even younger men. As I mentioned, the most famous and hottest male supermodel in the world is Tyson Beckford and he's been bald a good chunk of his career.
If your hair loss is more than minimal, just give up and stop fighting it. Some men truly have no self-awareness at all, even when the bald spot looks like shit, they still don't shave their heads :/
this doc is so calm and empathetic please never lose that

Crazy question Dr. Linkof but can you explain why pubic hair grows so much faster and thicker than hair on your head or anywhere else on the body?
Pubic and armpit hair have thicker cuticles to protect them from the damp (and ammonia rich in the case of pubes 😅) environments they are found in. I'm not sure if they actually grow faster but the growth phase is also shorter which explains the shorter maximum hair length, while the retention phase is longer
