Greetings,
Here is a hair transplant patient of mine describing his experience undergoing the procedure immediately after the procedure and 2 weeks after the procedure. It provides good insight into the initial time frame of the procedure.
I hope you enjoy watching.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
Greetings,
I would like to share a new video of a hair transplant patient of mine who describes his experience undergoing the procedure and his results 6 months after the procedure. The patient is seeing about 50-60% of the final result at present, but the difference is already dramatic. The patient also describes how the change has affected his life. I hope you enjoy watching.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
Greetings,
Today I want to share a new patient testimonial of a patient of mine who had FUE, follicular unit extraction of just over 1550 grafts into the frontal scalp. The patient discusses his experience with the procedure and the donor area is shown after 2 weeks with almost no sign of any procedure.
I hope you enjoy watching.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, MD
Greetings,
Here is a new hair transplant testimonial of one of my patients. The results from a single procedure 1 year later are shown as well.
I hope you enjoy watching.

Greetings,
Here is a patient of mine who underwent an FUE hair transplant. He explains the entire process from his prospective.
It is an enjoyable and educational video.
All the best,

Greetings,
Here is a video of a patient of mine who received FUE grafts to the frontal scalp, the crown, and into a previous strip scar (created by another physician) to help conceal the strip scar. The results are shown after 7 months and already look dramatic. The patient will have additional cosmetic coverage over the next 7 months as additional transplanted hair grow in a nd continue to thicken in diameter. I hope you enjoy watching.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
Greetings,
Today I will discuss a patient of mine who presented with a form of scarring alopecia called Lichen Planopilaris. This resulted in the loss of all the hair follicles in the frontal and mid scalp as well as the eyebrows and sideburns. The patient initially thought that the hair loss was androgenic alopecia, but after my examination and subsequent scalp biopsy the diagnosis was confirmed. It is imperative that the hair transplant surgeon has a thorough knowledge of all the forms of alopecia as different causes result in different outcomes and some are candidates for hair transplants and others not.
In this case the biopsy also showed that the scarring alopecia had “burnt out” and was no longer active. We decided to do 3 small areas with test grafts to see if they would grow before considering a more expansive procedure. What we found was excellent growth in all the test areas after only 12 weeks. After discussing with the patient and letting him know that there still is a chance that we won’t see the same growth rate that is seen in healthy scalp, and the patient decided to proceed with a more extensive procedure.
Below you can see the photo before the test grafts and the test grafts that have grown. I will continue to provide updates on this very interesting case.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
This is a patient with scarring alopecia who had test grafts placed into 3 different areas.
Greetings,
Here is a video documenting a patient of mine’s FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant harvest. The grafts were placed into the patient’s previous strip scar (which was created by another doctor), and the frontal scalp and hairline. The results are dramatic and are shown 7 months after the patient’s procedure. I hope you enjoy watching.
All the best,

Greetings,
Here is a link to a recent article from the UK press about a woman who underwent an eyebrow and eyelash transplant. Eyebrow transplants have recently become much more common as more people have discovered this procedure exists. Eyelash transplants are much more uncommon. Because the hair is taken from the scalp it will grow longer and need to be trimmed. This poses 2 problems for eyelash transplants. Firstly the hair can grow into the eye, thus scratching the cornea. Secondly, because you will need to trim the eyelash hairs every few weeks there is a high risk of injury to the eye. In addition, because the eyelid is so thin, and has so many muscles and nerves in a small area, there is a very high incidence of complications in eyelash procedures. It is for all these reason that I do not perform eyelash transplant procedures.
On the other hand, Eyebrow transplant procedures in the hands of an experienced eyebrow transplant surgeon can be very successful and I have been performing these procedures for over 10 years. In the patient highlighted in this article, she has a tremendous amount of eyebrow pencil makeup on her eyebrows in the “after” photo, thus not really giving an accurate image of what her transplanted eyebrows really look like.
Please feel free to click through my eyebrow transplant photos or go to my eyebrow transplant website www.EyebrowTransplantMD.com for more information.

Greetings,
Today I will discuss hair cloning as it seems everyone is talking about it these days. It is one of the most common questions that I receive on a daily basis as a hair transplant surgeon.
There is no question that hair cloning will forever change the course of hair transplant procedures and hair loss in general. The obvious questions is, we can clone a sheep? Why can’t we clone a single hair follicle?
The answer unfortunately is much more complicated. The ability to clone individual hair follicles at all is a very challenging prospect, and then try to create the ability to clone numbers of follicles that would be needed in practical use with economics that would make it cost effective, and we’re a long way away. Whether that means 10 years, 15 years or even 20 years, who knows. What is does mean is that we as hair transplant surgeons need to plan our patients treatment plans based on the fact that we will not have hair cloning for the foreseeable future.
There are certainly many entities working on hair cloning. The entity to figure it out first will make billions from it. It will allow us to create skin so we will no longer need to harvest skin grafts from the body. It will completely change the course of medicine and will probably lead to other organ cloning abilities.
What I find interesting is the question of will we be injecting cloned stem cells from other hair follicles that just grow into new permanent hair? Or will be still place individual hair follicles like we do now that are just created via genetic engineering in the lab? Either way, the closer we get to hair cloning the more exciting things will become in the field of hair transplant surgery.
All the best,
Marc Dauer, M.D.
