Using Toppik to Provide More Density After a Hair Transplant

February 5th, 2010 admin

If you don’t have enough density to cover a full Norwood 6 with a transplant, what is your opinion of doing light coverage and then using Toppik and/or other concealers (for life) in order to give the appearance of more hair? I’ve posted a couple cases about this. Those with very fine hair will have a harder time obtaining coverage, and the use of concealers with the … [ visit site to read more ]

Using Toppik to Cover a Transplant Scar?
Hey dr. How are you on this fine day ? i was just wondering on your opinion on using toppik to camouflage a transplant scar so buzzing hair down to a number 1 would be an option with the addition of the use of a trichophytic closure. would this be a viable route for someone who appreciates short hair? I am fine. Thank you for asking. Some people... 
Why Do Doctors Transplant the Swirl?
As the vertex eats up so many grafts, why do Dr.s try to transplant without the swirl and simply part the hair. The direction of the top could be forward and the lower half downward. I believe many men would give up the swirl for more coverage, is this possible? You are correct. The vertex (crown) ‘eats up’ many grafts. In other words,... 
Donor Scarring from Hair Plugs Done About 30 Years Ago
Thirty years ago I had 4 or 5 sessions hair transplant sessions done using the old punch graph method. For most of those years I was fairly satisfied. Lately that has not been the case. The appearance of corn rows is starting to show in the front and it is getting harder to cover up the donor area in the back. Twenty years ago I spoke to a specialist... 
Is Toppik Causing My Hair Loss to Speed Up?
I have used the “cover-up” product, Toppik, for a couple of years with pretty good results. I have recently read — albeit online, so of course I am quite guarded in my reaction — that there is aluminum in this keratin fiber product which may actually clog pores and cause or speed up hair loss/miniaturization. While I have  Read More →
Density All Over the Scalp
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... 
Density and Hair Transplantation
I was reading this ‘Understanding Density’ article [PDF file] and it states that thinner ’see-through’ hair has a density of about 20 cm2. It also says that areas with a pre-op density of 20-25 FU/cm2 could achieve a post-op density of 40-50 FU/cm2. Then, in the  Read More →
Density — FUE Versus FUT
One aspect puzzles me. In FUT a strip is removed and closed so a part of the scalp vanishes and is replaced by a thin scar. The areas adjoining the scar retain their hair density and very often with trichophytic closure hair grows out of the scar, again with no reduction in density. In FUE follicular units are harvested individually. No large scar... 
Transplanting Very Fine Hair
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. I believe my donor hair density is ‘average’ but not thick in caliber. Thank you Many men have very fine hair. Hair thickness will affect the...

Transplanting a Norwood 6 to a Norwood 3 or 4?
Hi Doc, Great Blog If a patient was norwood six on the scale with normal density how many grafts do you think it would take to create a hairstyle similar to that of Tom Ford With strong density. I believe a conservative hairline with more overall density produces a better appearance that that of a lower hairline. Here is a sample of the hairstyle:... 
Hairline Density After Hair Transplant Surgery?
This question comes from a member of our Hair Restoration Discussion Forums and Social Community: I’m undergoing hair transplant surgery to re-establish a nonexistent hairline. What type of density can I expect in my hairline after the hair restoration procedure? Although most hair loss patients would like a very dense, fully restored hairline,...
