Dr. Pak’s Life in the ER and NHI

March 26th, 2010 admin

This is a personal story written by Dr. Jae Pak: While I am fully trained in hair transplant surgery by Dr. Rassman and it has been my primary practice over the years, I am also trained in emergency medicine. As such, I keep up my skills as an emergency physician at local hospitals in the community a few times a month. This gives me a unique perspective in my professional and personal life. I see the best and worst in people. Despite what you may think about hair transplant patients, they come from all walks of life. They are not the super wealthy or the Hollywood celebrities.

Propecia and Proscar aren’t time released medications, so the protective coating wouldn’t change the half-life of the medication.

Rogaine Half-Life?
Rogaine Half-Life?
Doc, I read that Rogaine has a half-life of about 22 hours in skin. Assuming you have no side effects from applying it all at once, could you apply double the recommended amount once per day and have the same effect?

Dr Rassman’s Minoxidil Opinion?
What is your personal opinion of rogaine/minoxidil regarding its effectiveness?

I’d estimate that minoxidil...
