Hair Transplant Repair Case
Hair Transplant, Hair Loss, Hair Transplantation, Hair RestorationGreetings,
Here is a patient of mine who had multiple old hair transplants harvested via FUT from another surgeon. He has a severe form of hairloss (norwood 6) and the surgeon gave him a very aggressive hairline (which is why I always do a more conservative hairline in younger patients). His results ended up being very unnatural with massive hairloss happening behind the hairline. The gap between the hair on the bottom sides and the bald areas on top (the alleys as I call them), is a give away for a hair transplant. Also because he had extensive scarring from his previous procedures he had very little donor hair left in the back. I harvested 1613 grafts via FUE primarily from the sides which still had decent density and transplanted extensively into the alleys and the mid scalp and crown. The results are impressive and much more natural than before. Also we are going to do another procedure in the future using neck beard hair, which will also increase the density even more. The patient is thrilled.

FUE Hair Transplant-All About the Art
Hair Transplant, Hair Loss, Hair TransplantationGreetings,
Here is another one of our FUE hair transplant patients showing his result approximately 1 year after his procedure. As you can see the results are very natural. Something that I try to convey to prospective patients is the fact that not all hair transplants are not created equal. This is living art, and as such every artist will create a different hairline, with different densities of hair, different angles and orientations of the transplanted hair, etc. There are so many variables that make the difference between an excellent result, versus a decent result, versus a bad result. There are also many variables in the donor harvesting that can diminish or ruin the donor zone for the future, versus preserving as much donor hair as possible for future procedures and taking out only the grafts necessary for the current situation. Many clinics don’t expect the ever see the patient again and take most or all of their donor hair in a single procedure. This is extremely shortsighted as hair loss is a continuing process and its very important to evaluate any prospective hair transplant patient not just what they look like today, but to predict their endpoint of hairloss to the best of our ability and then determine how many grafts will be required over time to address current loss, and also keep up with continuing loss. This is why I perform every hair transplant consultation personally and don’t have “consultants” performing these on my behalf. I want every patient to be evaluated by myself and to hear realistic expectations for the short term and long term from me personally. I also want the opportunity to examine the patient and get their hair loss history so that I can have a good idea about future loss as well. This is also why I personally extract every hair follicle from the donor zone as well, while many other doctors delegate this to technicians. This is a crucial step both in getting intact follicular units for a successful hair transplant, while also preserving as much of the donor zone as possible for future procedures. Before choosing your hair transplant surgeon/ artist, make sure you have seen many hundreds of before and after photos by that surgeon that look aesthetically pleasing to you. Also make sure your surgeon is seeing you in the consultation and performing the harvesting of the hair personally. Finally, make sure your surgeon has a singular focus in hair restoration and doesn’t have a menu with many different cosmetic procedures and hair is just one item on the menu. There is a reason why specialists do nothing else but hair restoration, and to be great at something is to do that same thing many times over.

New Compounded Prescription Topical
Eyebrow TransplantGreetings,
Today I want to discuss a very new exciting development. For the past year I have been prescribing a compounded topical prescription formula that contains Dutasteride, Finasteride, Minoxidil, Retin A, and Triamcinolone. Dutasteride and Finasteride (propecia) are potent DHT blockers. Minoxidil is a vasodilator which has been proven to help genetic hair loss. Retin A helps with absorption and triamcinolone helps with scalp irritation. I call the formula “hair defense” as it’s defending the native hair. It does not grow back dead follicles that have been lost. It does however prevent susceptible follicles from falling out, and can turn miniaturized follicles (follicles that are on their way out and have become cosmetically insignificant) back into healthy terminal follicles, which can then give the appearance of greater density.
Below, you can see examples of patients of mine who haven been on the topical at least 6 months and all the photos shown below are just with the topical only as treatment.
This is not a substitute for a hair transplant procedure. Rather it is a an adjunct meant to preserve the native hair so that the results of the hair transplant procedure look better for longer. In some cases it can be used as an intermediate treatment meant to slow or stop the continuing loss before the transplant is indicated.
Finally, one of the best things about the topical is that the incidence of sexual side effects (though low in frequency can still occur in 1-2% of patients taking oral finasteride) are even more uncommon with this topical as the systemic absorption of the medication is less than the oral medication.
I have seen a profound impact of this topical medication on my own scalp and hundreds of my patients.
For a small number of patients that may get irritation from any of the components, the formula is customizable and components can be pulled out in any amount.
If you would like to consider this or have a friend who could benefit please contact our office and we can schedule a short consultation and arrange for a prescription of the product. It ships directly to your home via fedex.
This is one of the biggest game changers in hair restoration I have come across over the past number of years and I am very excited to share it with you all.
Best,
Marc Dauer, MD

Amazing Eyebrow Transplant Result and Testimonial
Eyebrow Transplant, Eyebrow Transplantation, Eyebrow RestorationGreetings,
Here is a patient of mine who had micro blading and tattoos done to her eyebrows because she lost most of her natural eyebrow hair due to over plucking and genetic factors. She was unhappy with the results of the eyebrow tattoos and decide to undergo an eyebrow transplant procedure. The results shown here are after a single FUE eyebrow transplant and approximately 250-300 hairs were placed per eyebrow. The patient, who happens to be a registered nurse herself, is thrilled with her results and shares her experience on this video.
I hope you enjoy watching.

ARTAS Robotic FUE versus Handheld Manual FUE
Eyebrow TransplantGreetings,
Here is a patient who went to a hair transplant surgeon in Florida and had an ARTAS Robotic FUE procedure. The photo below shows how his donor looked after only about 1300 grafts were extracted by the robot. The donor area was very scarred as you can see from the photos. I harvested just over 1300 grafts with a handheld FUE tool in the areas that were left untouched from the previous procedure and the results are shown here.
Bottom line is choose your physician wisely and choose a physician who personally extracts the follicles by hand and focuses exclusively on hair transplants in order maximize chances for a successful outcome and natural result.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, MD

Donor Beard Hair for Scalp Hair Transplant
Eyebrow TransplantGreetings,
Here is a patient of mine who had numerous FUT strip harvest procedures by other physicians that resulted in severe scarring in the donor area, plug grafts throughout the scalp, and an overall very unnatural appearance. The result was so unnatural that the patient would not go outside without a hat.
I extracted approximately 1500 grafts from the neck via FUE in multiple sessions and placed them throughout the scalp, especially in the “alleys” on the sides to connect the transplanted hair to the native hair on the sides, and the crown in the back.
The patient also had some SMP performed on his scalp and will have more in the future.
The result is already so much improved from prior and the patient still has some more beard donor hair and will have more SMP to improve the result even more. I will also be “de-bulking” some of the plug grafts to make them more natural looking.
Neck and beard hair can be a very valuable source of donor hair for those that are out of scalp donor hair. Though the character of the hair is a little different, it works very well as filler and can make a nice impact in improving visual cosmetic density. Also, the neck heals so well from the small punch sites of the FUE removal that the tiny dots are barely visible on close inspection.
Choose your surgeon wisely so that you end up with an aesthetically natural result both in the short term and long term.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, MD

Male Eyebrow Transplant Result
Hair Transplant, Eyebrow Transplant, Eyebrow Transplantation, Eyebrow Restoration, Hair TransplantationGreetings,
Here is a result of a male patient of mine who received approximately 350 grafts to each eyebrow harvested via FUE. The results are shown approximately 1 year after the procedure.
Eyebrow transplant procedures are becoming more popular amongst male and female patients with weak eyebrows secondary to hereditary issues, scarring, or over plucking. The results can be very natural looking when
performed by a qualified eyebrow transplant surgeon.

FUE Hair Transplant Into Scalp Scar
Hair Transplant, Hair Loss, FUE Hair Transplant, Hair RestorationGreetings,
Here is a patient of mine who had a Mohs surgery to excise a basal cell lesion in the scalp. It unfortunately resulted in a large scar in the frontal scalp and when the operating surgeon attempted to minimize the scar it actually got significantly worse.
The patient presented to me extremely depressed over the large scalp defect just behind her hairline. I transplanted approximately 1000 FUE grafts in two procedures spaced 8 months apart.
The patient is thrilled with her results and this has been a life changer for her. She can now style her hair normally and go out without fear of a heavy wind exposing a large bald patch in the front.
I am often asked if hair can be transplanted into scars and the answer is yes. There is a lower growth rate through scars and we are not able to transplant as dense in a single procedure due to the compromised blood supply, but when performed correctly these cases can be very successful.

FUE Hair Transplant- Optimizing Your Donor and Making Every Graft Count
FUE Hair Transplant, Hair RestorationGreetings,
Today FUE hair transplant procedures have made hair transplants less invasive and much more comfortable for the patient than ever before. Unfortunately one of the drawbacks of FUE is that there is a lower overall yield of the number of grafts from the donor zone as compared with FUT plus subsequent FUE procedures afterward. What this means is that it is very important to accurately estimate the end point of hair loss as well as the total available donor graft count so that a proper plan for hair restoration can be formulated at the beginning rather than running out of grafts later on and have to leave large areas of bald scalp without transplants.
There is a push to create very low, non balding hairlines, in young patients using large number of grafts. Unfortunately many of these patients will end up with a severe form of hair loss and won’t have enough donor hair to cover the eventual bald zones. In these cases it will actually look even worse with a low rounded hairline and larges areas of bald scalp behind.
Here is a case showing how I used a relatively conservative number of grafts to augment the hair in the frontal scalp. Even though it wasn’t a huge number of grafts it created a huge visual impact. The after photos are only 9 months post procedure so the patient will continue to see thickening of the hairs and cosmetic improvement up to 18 months post procedure. The patient his already thrilled with his results and it show how a relatively moderate number of grafts can still have a significant impact while still leaving a good amount of donor grafts available in the future for continuing loss.
All the best,

No Shave FUE
Hair Transplant, Hair Loss, FUE Hair TransplantGreetings,
FUE has become more popular than ever given the fact that in the hands of a skilled surgeon the results can be as good as FUT (The strip harvest method) or even in some cases better (due to the fact that with FUE we can choose which follicles to harvest and therefore choose the follicles with the most amount of hairs per follicle). Up to now one of the downsides of FUE was that it required the entire back and sides (harvest zone) to be shaved in order to harvest the follicles. Now we have a new way to perform FUE cases without shaving the entire donor zone. I call it “No Shave FUE”. What we do is go through the donor zone and cut short individual follicles that we plan to harvest and leave the surrounding hairs at their normal length. This makes the donor zone appear untouched to the naked eye, and is much less visually impactful than a head shave, and gives us the same results as a traditional FUE shaved case. The no shave technique is more time consuming and thus more expensive, but for those people (like myself) who refuse to shave the back and sides of their heads but want the FUE procedure, this is a great option. Below you can see an unshaven FUE patient one day after just over 2000 grafts were extracted via FUE.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, MD
