About 2yrs ago I...
Dr. do you have pictures to show what a hair transplant may look like for someone who has very fine hair? I may need as many as 1000-1500 grafts at my age of 51. My concern is my hair thickness.

Hello Dr. Rassman! I’ve found your blog to be extremely helpful and I’d like to ask you a question: I’m 19 years old, and I’ve noticed thinning at the corners of the hairline, with thinner, shorter hairs, extending (as far as I can tell with close inspection – no microscope available yet unfortunately) about 1.3″...

However, most of it has fallen out, along with the sides of my head. I read...

Hello Dr. Rassman, I am a 22 year old male, most likely a Norwood Class 2. I have recently begun taking 1.25 mg generic Proscar, which I started about 3 months ago.

I am 58 years old (female) and have been letting my hair grow long – it is now past my shoulders – I have noticed a lot of hair loss when I wash my hair – is this due to the length of my and age?

Here’s a patient that reported continued growth of his hair transplants without going through the dreaded dormant phase that usually occurs for some time following the procedure.

Hi Dr. Rassman, my husband has thinning hair on two of his front corners of his head Norwood 2-3. And he went to a doctor for a consultation about the problem, they suggest dense packing the two corners. However my husband doesn’t want to have the corners densely packed in case the rest of his hair in the center thins out in the future, which...
First off, great site doc. Very helpful. My question is about hair density and thickness. Say one buzzes their hair, should they expect the density and thickness of the hair to be the same over the whole head or are the backs and sides of the head thicker than the top of the scalp, generally? Thanks, doc! If you’re not balding, the density...
