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 ]

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,... 
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... 
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... 
Graft Survival and High Density Hair Transplant Procedures
This hair loss question was answered by Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.  His professional answer is below. In the past I have been told that a hair density of 50 grafts per cm2 should not compromise graft survival.  However, I was wondering if transplanting hair at 55  Read More →
Estimating Graft Count for 2 Inches of Hair
Dear Dr. Rassman. I was wondering roughly how many grafts, single to double hairs, would be required to fill an area of 2 inches? I have straight medium weight, dirty blond hair. The average hair density is 1250 hairs per square inch (or 600 follicular units). So a 2 square inch area would contain about 2400 follicular units. For the appearance of... 
When is Balding with Fine Hair Considered Noticeable?
I hate to keep bothering you, but I’m full of questions! With fine hair, how much hair can be lost before it is considered noticeable? 25%? 50%? I am 4 months into using Propecia, and have new hair sprouting all over. I am surprised, as I have been losing hair for 20+ years. I am going to see where Propecia takes me, then finish it off with...

Analysing Consumer Reviews of DermMatch and Toppik
Hair thickeners and hair loss concealers are a relatively affordable and simple method of concealing hair loss for people with a thinning but not yet completely bald scalp. They do nothing to stop hair loss, though. The main difference between a hair thickener such as DermMatch and a hair loss concealer such as Toppik is in the art of covering thinning... 
Youngest Person to Have a Hair Transplant?
Hi Doc, Firstly I would like to say great site!I have two questions: This is speculative but could be me in a few years: I know that you are not reluctant in performing transplants to you people, but if a 23 year old male came into your office having taking propecia for 4 years with a norwood class 4A balding pattern would you carry out the transplant... 
No Growth 7 Months After from My Hair Transplant (with Photos)
Thanks for the informative site! I’ve searched for similar questions and answers, you’ve addressed delayed and no growth from transplants before, so hopefully this isn’t repeating too much from others.
