Aged 53yrs old I have to admit that I would still love to get my hair back! As a youngster I had a very thick mop of brown curls but in my final (very stressfull) year at university aged 21 the thinning began apace. And within another couple of years I was properly bald. The way it rocked my confidence as a young man is something that has stuck with me to a degree, even as I have realised that one has to accept things and move on. So yes, I never underestimate the impact this can have.
@@billarmstrong5568rofl, how’s that for kind words bolstering someone’s day lol But wow man, I read that once someone accepts baldness, they’re the most content.. and I do know how a couple of males who are totally bald at the age of 30 and they don’t care at all. But yeah I’m suprised to hear that people can still not let go after 30 years.
I think it's likely to happen just like Viagra did, but it could also be something that is done using gene therapy and stem cells. Transplanting cloned hair may also become an option. Like @Guus115 said, science may soon get a "magic boost" from AI research. There's certainly a lot of money to be made from the cure and there are also researchers who want the cure for themselves, so it's not like no one is trying...
@@iDTecKtBut the follicles are alive. I don't think any cure will be a normal pill you could take, though. More likely it would require some kind of genetic alterations that can make your existing follicles resistant to DHT. Not sure if it would work on someone who already has a significant degree of hair loss. Maybe the solution for people with lots of hair loss will be mass cloning of the existing DHT-resistant hairs around the sides with a big transplant, as you mentioned.
I am 37, female, UK. I've had thinning hair on top for the last 10 / 11 years. I think due to medication I've been on, but also my genes are not great on the hair-side of things. 3 years ago I shaved my head and loved it. 1 week ago I shaved it again and love it ❤️ I think anyone can rock the shaved/bald head look. It is just confidence. I feel much better not seeing my thinning hair. This way you can't tell it's thinning and in poor condition. Power on to everyone 💪🏻🌟😎
Look into L. Reuteri Yogurt and Kefir. Nobody really talks about how anti biotic and medications ruin the microbiome and the ability to absorb essential nutrients for hair and body. Dr. William Davis explains the benefits of the yogurt.
I had a hair transplant at 66, and I live in Bangkok. At first when i went to the hair clinic the doctor said there was not enough hair to do a transplant . He gave me minoxidol spray & tablets plus Finasteride. After 8 months of doing this he asked me to come back. He said i now had thicker hair and he could do a transplant on my crown area and some of my front. My hair was thinning but not complete hair loss. My hair surgeon gave me realistic expectations.I'm very pleased with the result. I had 3500 grafts altogether. I'm also half way through a session of 6 PRP treatments .
@@reykennedy5716the hair around my crown is growing nicely now at 10 months , still won't see the full result for another 10 months but I'm pleased with the progress. I'm happy with the PRP treatment too.
What keeps me personally from having a procedure is that I know I'd have to be on constant medical therapy afterwards. I worry about the side effects - both the ones we already know, and the ones we might realize later. It doesn't feel right to do medical therapy for the rest of my life strictly for cosmetic reasons.
It isn't right; fixing cancer and paralysis will be worth potential risks, but fooling nature for vanity and accepting unknown risks are not. Just the fact that I see a lot of shaved heads with line (or two or more) in the back, of pock marks all over (FUE?) tells me they don't always work, then they put you on drugs...suck it up, work on other thinks.
This is simply a soul blockage you can/need to clear, my friend. You have a whisper in your head which is the product of human-wrought collective beliefs .. and not your God-potential. - You are going to spend a minimum 1 hour per day having 2-3 meals rest of your life without hesitation (and we don't even need 3 meals per day.. that's another indoctrination by the food industry, btw).. yet you will not spend 10 seconds taking a finasteride/minox combo bill or even a 1 minute per week taking a TRT (testosterone) shot., if a guy older than 40. Obviously, I am not challenging your free-will. You can do whatever you choose. This message could go out to all aging men with thinning or receding hair and also gradual muscle loss and fat gain from slowly diminishing testosterone who listen to the limiting whisper in their head.. despite the fact your appearance is going to go through a dramatic (negative) transformation anyways over time if you do nothing.. so why not be proactive, utilize what the universe has made available to you.. and make it positive instead?? Now that said, if we get procedures to run from other emotional issues in our half-soul, that is a different issue - so it is true our physical appearance should not be our life focus.. but we are literally talking about the most minimal effort here. As a real teacher of the universe on Earth (which is not a sentence 99.99% of incarnates can even process).. I will tell you that your material-body is NOT a true reflection of your half-soul condition... only your spirit-body is, so it is understandable if you want to get your physical-body more aligned with your true spiritual development state.. if it is superior to the default material-body you were assigned to start your existence. NOTE: You can view your spirit-body in any astral mirror while in sleep state. It updates virtually in REAL-TIME from your half-soul condition while your physical body updates in 7 years.. so we all kill our Earth vessel before we get enough LOVE & TRUTH into our soul to stop expedited material-body degradation. We should live 1000 years on Earth. I am about to turn 56. I have a top 1% low hairline. thanks to recent HUE. ( please note I was a Norwood 2 so it wasn't a stretch doing this).. and top 1% male test level (1000-1100ng/dl) thanks to TRT. I never have accidents nor get sick EVER. I never take vaccines nor got Covid while working in a public interfacing position. Because I work out 7 days per week (4 cardio and 3 free weights) and eat very strict.. I am completely ripped.. with developing full hair when I am supposed to be "old".. which is a total joke. DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF, my friend.. is my point. All of you can be equal or greater than me once you stop listening to the Earth limiting whispers in your head. My own "lookmaxxing" project will be done by Jan 2025 at which point I will likely start teaching the actual absolute universe online through YT. I don't do recreational drugs nor drink alcohol.. and interact with spirits in waking and sleep state to advance myself in consciousness and aligned perception of love. While I never was into human imaginary creations, we do basically live in a matrix.. meaning most the things you feel inside as INTUITION or common_sense REASONING are really just limiting_products of false_beliefs ABSORBED as feelings during womb, early childhood, and continuing inculcation into whatever collective_thought_realm which dominates your focus. I am a real person whom you can talk to anytime for free. Peace and God Bless.
I still plan on getting a procedure done in the future. I'm of the same mind, I refuse to adhere to lifelong medical therapy for the rest of my life that comes with side effects that no man wants. My all natural methods somewhat work, but the progress is wayyyy too slow. With that being said, I would just get a procedure and continue with my natural preventative hair loss regimen, i.e. dmso blend and scalp or blood flow stimulation via bamboo brush. If the hair loss resumes, so be it.
Fly to istanbul i was there two times and last time just one month ago 1,6-1,8k for the whole process including hotel stay for 3 days and all the transportstion. But you need to buy the Flight
Thank you Dr. Linkov. Your videos made me feel ok and accepting my bald look for the time being. I cancelled my scheduled transplant prossedure last year. Maybe in the future if hair cloning will advance might i start thinking about it again.
I was a norwood 7 but had small white hairs all over the top. I started medical therapy 3 months ago, i'm now a norwood 4 and there's alot of white mini hairs left. I lost all my hair by 18 and 23 now. I have more hair now then I did at 17.
@@hmdwn I started to have constant fatigue recently but I'm not sure if its my office job or the medication but I'm taking oral finasteride and minoxidil. 1.1mg and 3mg daily. I think my results are different from what most people will get since I had extreme hair loss. I didn't reced it just got super thin. I still have a perfect hairline It is still really thin but getting thicker. I'm not entirely sure it was androgenic. Minoxidil and diet might be the only thing doing anything. I was completely balded in less than a year after first noticing thin hair from 17-18.
But also, you're young. All of your loss is recent. Every case of complete returns and the best recoveries is always from 20-25 year olds. You were very aggressive, but you still can halt and slow and reverse it. Be careful of minoxidil long term and stick with finasteride or dutasteride at least 24 months to get a full view of what it will do for you. Also, the hairs you're mentioning are called vellus hairs.
I am currently a norwood 6-7 but I am super hairy on my shoulder and and back and most of the hairs are few inches long so I could probably get my entire head of hair back with them.
Just watched the video out of interest. I completely shaved my had as soon as it was thinning. Wouldn't change it, happy as it is. I shave my head every other day. I lost my hair but I'm not a looser and try to cover it up. I'm actually glad it's gone, I remember when I still had hair, it never was quite as you wanted it to be.
Nowadays, you can get really impressive coverage when you combine scalp + BEARD (or even chest) grafts. Of course, your beard hair needs to be a good MATCH. Also, it really depends on the donor - some patients have a great donor (and can also use the extended donor area). There are videos of doctors doing over 10 000 gratfs… Some patients have a very weak donor… then even 6-7000 grafts is a stretch 😅 HT is a case-specific procedure…
Slightly off-topic (but not really) - could you please make an analysis on the *French President Emmanuel Macron's potential hair transplant/ hair transformation* ? I've recently seen a picture of his wearing a mop of hair on the top of his head like a toupee (not toupee-shaming!) and was wondering if he did something or he just changed his hairdresser. His hair "profile" definitely changed from what I've seen before.
Dr Linkov, what do you think about harvesting beard grafts not just from the neck but also from the face? Literally extracting someone's beard follicles on the chin and the cheeks. I heard some doctors consider it to be a good additional source of grafts as the healing process on the face is very robust and leaves almost no FUE scars after extraction.
With a patient who has Norwood 6 or 7, as a Doctor, I would just forego any work on the crown and focus on giving as much density to the front and mid scalp.
Hey Gary! Could you make a video about the chance of cloning the hair follicle, I read that it was something that people are working on currently and I think it’d be the permanent solution. Cheers
That was probably the Best Presentation I have ever heard. Experience can make all the difference. I had no idea so many grafts were used and must be awesome not to have to really deal with any of that. Some look Great the way they are, but the knowledge of all of this makes you so valuable in your field. What an asset you can be to others. Thanks for this excellent information. It must be such an emotional experience, but oh how comforting too when caring for someone else. Great Job !
I think we also need to discuss the side effects of oral Finasteride. I was on this drug in my middle to late 20’s for hair loss and the side effects were significant (mostly sexual side effects). It took almost an entire year for the most major side effect to return to normal after ceasing this medication. Minoxidil, how ever, had very little side effects. As much as Finasteride is meant to work and help, I would never take it again and I think it’s important to let people know that it affects your hormone levels and can come with significantly undesirable side effects.
@@KNDCHV I have tried topical from KEEPS for two month and had the side effect people talking about. I stopped now and side effects are gone. I am using growplex minoxidil and it has natural DHT blocker. I also use Nutrafol men. Has been only two months, but no side effects, or should I say good side effects like opposite of sexual side effects, if you know what I mean. Do your research on these two product if interested.
The answer is yes. You can use body hair as donor hair. I think pubic hair is an option, although some will say it’s a different texture, but I think that’s nonsense.
I just did my 2nd set of a 3 session prp hair injections! I recommend it if your outside of the U.S. its cheaper and more affordable to do than what they charge back home. It did work with thickening my hair. My last session was 4 months ago and my barber had asked if i was using something..so that was a positive comment to hear!
I just have had my hair and beard transplant one week ago. After the transplant i issued a correction of assymetry and it will be done in half of month from now. I am concerned about a movie I recently watched "Beard Transplant Failures! 3 Tips to Avoid it!" All grafys were taken from the back and the side of the scalp. None were taken from neck or chest. After watching that youtube video I am concerned that the beard with double and triple hair follicles might cause bumpyness of skin and unnatural look. I do not know yet how it will look and whether it is true what was mentioned in that video. But if it would be true, then during the scheduled correction I would request to take the hair transplanted to the beard as grafts (at least the double and triple hair follicles) to be re-used in correction of the symmetry on the head part of the transplant. I have a question for you: How much truth is in that video? Can hair transplanted to the beard be reused again as a source? If yes, then should I hurry, or opposite: should I wait till hair falls out and regrows before it can be re-harvested? (that way I would avoid overdepletion of the donor area and avoid the problems mentioned in the quoted video, plus that would leave space to put in the beard the chest and neck-beard hair instead). A reaction video or a response to my comment would be greatly appreciated, as only 2 weeks remain now till the symmetry correction. Thank you for your videos. You are doing a great job and increasing awareness.
I've tetsed Minoxidil for over 6 months and sadly it didn't worked Now i'm testing Rosemary Oil and i'm still using my dermaroller 1-2x a week Hope it does a better Job 😊
Sorry that’s not gonna work bro, minoxidil didn’t work because of your sulfate. Take 3 Months stemoxydine and then directly after take topical minoxidil again and continue with the stemoxydine 1-2 times a week
@@wasgehtsiedasan6464 danke für deinen Tipp Ich werde es probieren Es ist wirklich deprimierend, wenn sich nach einem halben Jahr praktisch nichts getan hat.

Ich habe sogar extra eine spezielle Emulsion verwendet ohne Alkohol, da ich ansonsten eine extrem juckende und schuppige Kopfhaut bekomme.

I was fortunate to get onto finasteride / oral minoxidil, PRP, hair vitamins, derma rolling, hair loss focussed shampoo from my late 30’s. It stopped my shedding and slowed my regressing hair line. This regime produced thick healthy donor hair. And the years of PRP and rolling produced fertile recipient area. I finally had the money and time at 53 to get an FUE done. Only 2000 grafts, but the surgeon suggested well over 5000+ hairs. So mostly the front and lobes with a little going back into the top and crown. It’s been 6 months and it is starting to look mint. Still some uneven growth so cropped on the shorter side. Not sure I’ll fill in the bald patch… I am in my 50’s after all.
Love you doc!!! You explain this entire issue with thoughtfulness and practical applications..... I'm not a N-6, but I am considering a little pluggery! You're the one I want to do my work!!!
Doctor kindly make a video about a 4 or 5 type baldness, that is if a person has hair but thinning is there, when hair is dirty or greasy, scalp also gets visible, front hairline is receding and hair is already gone from crown, what results he might expect from an FUE procedure? Thanks. I'm subscribing.
One surgeon said for the mid area he’d use beard hair; I don’t mind. The swirl is unknown, started dutasteride so will see. The problem is 3k grafts front, 3k mid, and 2k unknown in crown waiting for dutasteride and topical minoxidil to see what returns. What about the hair cloning option? Any idea when that will be a general option?
As usual, Dr is to the point with a realistic and feasible transplant plan for Norwood 6/7. The baldies of the world thank you for clearing things up!!! 🤟
I wanted to take finasteride for hair loss a few years ago, but my doctor advised me against it. He said that although it is approved, it is still a process that you set in motion in your body, because this is still an interference in the hormonal balance.
Hey doc, I may not have many donor hairs on my head, but I do have lots of hair elsewhere. Please use all the hairs in my armpits and nether regions to complete my look 😆
I'm 60 years old now at age 20 I had a full set of hair now I'm completely bald I have no hair on my head at all. I would love to get at least half of my hair back.
Im just gonna ask this here. What happens if i use Minoxidil and Fenasteride and i have good results then i quit Minoxidil because it is a bother. Will Fenasteride kinda preserve the hair gained by Minoxidil or what will happen?
I did this. I lost hair, but Fin was enough. Then I stopped fin, and boy did my hair take a dive. I got on HIMS chewables bc it has fin and min. But it was pricey. Now I’m getting a HT and will likely go back to it tho bc two birds one stone. However prescription fin is about 3X cheaper
What about shaping the hairline from the neck by taking all of the hair for grafts from back of the upper neck instead of just taking hair evenly from the donor area? Often that area gets trimmed at the barber anyway. And can hair taken from somewhere else from the body transform to the kind of hair that grows in the head or does it stay coarse and short? Also is it ppssible to get hair grafts from some one else or does body reject them like organ transplants?
@@mewmannamwem6087 they're all hair factories tho, in and out no aftercare, if you lose hair behind it or get a infection or the regrowth is bad they wont do anything to help you.
So how many sessions are needed for a level 6 balding? A clinic offered me to cover my entire bald area (front, middle and back) in one session using approx. 4500 grafts of which they would distribute more to the front and less to the back. Is that going to look ok? Is it the right way?
Do finasteride have effect on female hair loss? I‘m suffering from male pattern hair loss for about half of my life. I tried oral spironolactone, Cyproterone acetate+ Cyproterone compound for a long time until I faced Uterine fibroids. Now my Endocrinologist prescribed finasteride 5 mg.
If I was a Norwood 6-7 I’d definitely continue medical therapy. I’d want my existing hair to be as strong and as stable as possible. A lot people might not be a great candidate initially but after a year of medical therapy, the calibre of donor hair may increase thus improving their overall candidacy for hair restoration surgery. There’s a good few NW6-7s RUclipsrs that are reliant on meds to maintain their transplant results
I'm not sure this will be the channel to ever cover this since you specialize in a specific surgery/technique/technically, but I'm eager to hear when we're able to actually grow and replace or reactivate hair follicles vs grafting them from one spot to another.
Could you talk about verteporfin and it's uses in hair transplant? There's Dr. Bloxham from NY and Dr. Barghouthi who seem to have had promising results with regrowth of hair in the harvested donor region. It would be really interesting if you talked about that.
You need Dutasteride, Finasteride might not be strong enough to stop and regrow hair in the long run. Search the video: How to stop hair loss from diffuse thinning (dupa) and retrograde alopecia by Haircafe
Hi Dr Gary, I'm a big fan and dig your channel. If a person uses minoxidil for a number of years then stops will the persons hairloss catch up to a point where it would have been if they had not used minoxidil. Basically if they stop the medication will their hair fall out to a point where it should have been without this medication or will it return to the same point as it was when they initially began the treatment?
Dr. Linkov, Is Lev Pranov someone who had a hair transplant years ago? The pattern of his hair looks so odd. Is that what happens as people age? I wonder if meds would have helped him.
Please make a video about hair restoration options for women of childbearing years, or may be trying to get pregnant. It seems like women have to be so intentional about pregnancy when restoring hair loss, which sucks. It seems like you either have to decide to not have children to restore your hair (because medications can harm a fetus), or get pregnant and can’t do anything regarding hair restoration because of risk to the child, but not everyone wants to plan out getting pregnant that extensively. Most therapies I researched include some sort of ongoing medication.
Can you still shave your head to stubble after a hair transplant. I'm a 7 with thin hair but would like to have a hairline just to frame my face but would also like to keep it shaved to a stubble
Honestly I started taking monoxide at age 28 we go bald quickly i my family but after 5 years I was able to reverse it. The only problem is that I have to be on monoxide and derma rollers to my life our my hair will fall out.
I just don’t care about hair loss. If it’s natural that it happens then so be it. We’re all going to lose some hair at a time in life it’s not a big deal. People are too self conscious. Health is most important. That’s what we should be more focused on.
I don’t mind natural ways to help hair loss but soon as you bring up surgery. You lost me😂 If i loose my hair or start thinning. Im just gonna embrace it. Life is what you make of it
if your only implanting 25% of the total hair that has been lost in a given zone, then why does planting an excess of hair in a given area result in death of the implanted hair? Isn't there sufficient blood/nutrient supply ? is that supply lost overtime along with the hair ?
Would love to see you review Brazilian Dr. Pitella’s work. Arguably the best hair transplant surgeon in the world for high Norwood patients. He’ll do two back to back giga sessions with 10K+ grafts and his results are out of this world. Like if you’d like to see a reaction too!
help me to understand this i had hair at the top of my ears so i would shave my head .then i started working out and taking testosterone this natural brand twice a day i would shave wesdays and sundays , one day i went to shave and there where 30 little hairs on top of my head. i stopped shaving and started trying to grow my hair back useing rogain brushing it and a few other things that was in feberyur its now june my hair grew back funny the sides grow up and theres like a little spot on top that its slowly going away . my hack is put the rogain on twice a day leave it on for days then wash it off like once or twice a week it works
Dr. Linkov - Can you do a video going over essential oils and give your tips / opinions on the use of them for someone trying to avoid chemicals/meds? I really love all of your content and it has helped me so much so thank you!!!
There are videos of people traveling to TURKEY to get hair transplants by a GREAT doctor with many pleased patients! And they go there from the USA because what costs $10,000 here costs $2,000 there! Even with the plane fare you are way ahead financially!
No one cares about thinness in the donor area as we often shave that/fade hairstyle. A really short back n sides makes the top look fuller too. Smp can be used in donor area also after the fue is performed
There's a small spot on the right side of my hairline that had receded a bit. Makes my hairline look about 5 degrees slanted. Do you think I should just transplant my beard hair to there instead? I never really want my neck hairs anyway. Tired of shaving there.
Are you able to do an updated video on oral medications and hair loss, particularly newer medications or changes to our understanding of side effects such as finasteride used to be linked to prostate cancer side effect and is now no longer.
Im stuck because I don't want to take minoxidil or fin as I haven't had a family and in my late 30s. I'm considering a transplant but then worried that the surrounding areas will thin out and leave me with islands etc and then will need more transplants etc. is it worth getting a transplant I will only do it once and have several health conditions that make it risky but all I want is enough thickness that you don't see thinness and I dont need a hat.
I'm going to check to see if you've done a vid on Rogaine for Women. I have a couple patches that just won't grow back from Chemo. Would like to hear what you think of Rogaine for Women and would it be likely to work or fail because the hair loss is chemo induced. Love your videos. BTW I'll be 70 in May.

Hi Dr Gary, I have an interesting question, that I have not seen a lot of info about. So a few questions; 1.) hair harvested from the donor areas seem to be predominantly in the middle of the back. What about the Hairs at the bottom adjoining the neck, can they be used? 2.) you mentioned that on average, patients generally can use 6000-7000 grafts from the donor areas, does that apply for all races? I noticed for Asians the lower hairline at the back that I mentioned above, is far lower below the ear lobe than that of a Caucasians (eg, the hairline stops 1.5 inches below the ear where on a Caucasian, the hairline stops around/at the earlobe) I’m not sure whether that is the feature of having a less prominent/protruding occipital bone that makes the back of their head appear more flat, hence lowering that back hairline as a result… or simply they have more hairs at the back.. if this the case, they would technically have more hairs available to harvest than that of a Caucasian? Thanks
Aged 53yrs old I have to admit that I would still love to get my hair back! As a youngster I had a very thick mop of brown curls but in my final (very stressfull) year at university aged 21 the thinning began apace. And within another couple of years I was properly bald.

What keeps me personally from having a procedure is that I know I'd have to be on constant medical therapy afterwards. I worry about the side effects - both the ones we already know, and the ones we might realize later. It doesn't feel right to do medical therapy for the rest of my life strictly for cosmetic reasons.
It isn't right; fixing cancer and paralysis will be worth potential risks, but fooling nature for vanity and accepting unknown risks are not. Just the fact that I see a lot of shaved heads with line (or two or more) in the back, of pock marks all over (FUE?) tells me they don't always work, then they put you on drugs...suck it up, work on other thinks.
This is simply a soul blockage you can/need to clear, my friend. You have a whisper in your head which is the product of human-wrought collective beliefs .. and not your God-potential. - You are going to spend a minimum 1 hour per day having 2-3 meals rest of your life without hesitation (and we don't even need 3 meals per day.. that's another indoctrination by the food industry, btw).. yet you will not spend 10 seconds taking a finasteride/minox combo bill or even a 1 minute per week taking a TRT (testosterone) shot., if a guy older than 40. Obviously, I am not challenging your free-will. You can do whatever you choose.
This message could go out to all aging men with thinning or receding hair and also gradual muscle loss and fat gain from slowly diminishing testosterone who listen to the limiting whisper in their head.. despite the fact your appearance is going to go through a dramatic (negative) transformation anyways over time if you do nothing.. so why not be proactive, utilize what the universe has made available to you.. and make it positive instead??
Now that said, if we get procedures to run from other emotional issues in our half-soul, that is a different issue - so it is true our physical appearance should not be our life focus.. but we are literally talking about the most minimal effort here.
As a real teacher of the universe on Earth (which is not a sentence 99.99% of incarnates can even process).. I will tell you that your material-body is NOT a true reflection of your half-soul condition... only your spirit-body is, so it is understandable if you want to get your physical-body more aligned with your true spiritual development state.. if it is superior to the default material-body you were assigned to start your existence. NOTE: You can view your spirit-body in any astral mirror while in sleep state. It updates virtually in REAL-TIME from your half-soul condition while your physical body updates in 7 years.. so we all kill our Earth vessel before we get enough LOVE & TRUTH into our soul to stop expedited material-body degradation. We should live 1000 years on Earth.
I am about to turn 56. I have a top 1% low hairline. thanks to recent HUE. ( please note I was a Norwood 2 so it wasn't a stretch doing this).. and top 1% male test level (1000-1100ng/dl) thanks to TRT. I never have accidents nor get sick EVER. I never take vaccines nor got Covid while working in a public interfacing position.
Because I work out 7 days per week (4 cardio and 3 free weights) and eat very strict.. I am completely ripped.. with developing full hair when I am supposed to be "old".. which is a total joke.
DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF, my friend.. is my point. All of you can be equal or greater than me once you stop listening to the Earth limiting whispers in your head.
My own "lookmaxxing" project will be done by Jan 2025 at which point I will likely start teaching the actual absolute universe online through YT. I don't do recreational drugs nor drink alcohol.. and interact with spirits in waking and sleep state to advance myself in consciousness and aligned perception of love.
While I never was into human imaginary creations, we do basically live in a matrix.. meaning most the things you feel inside as INTUITION or common_sense REASONING are really just limiting_products of false_beliefs ABSORBED as feelings during womb, early childhood, and continuing inculcation into whatever collective_thought_realm which dominates your focus.
I am a real person whom you can talk to anytime for free. Peace and God Bless.
I still plan on getting a procedure done in the future. I'm of the same mind, I refuse to adhere to lifelong medical therapy for the rest of my life that comes with side effects that no man wants. My all natural methods somewhat work, but the progress is wayyyy too slow. With that being said, I would just get a procedure and continue with my natural preventative hair loss regimen, i.e. dmso blend and scalp or blood flow stimulation via bamboo brush. If the hair loss resumes, so be it.
There's not only that issue, but it also disrupts the psa reading, so prostate cancer isn't detected. I don't think it's worth the risk.
@leakyabstraction derma rolling and topical coffee blend, and rosemary cineole oil have been working for me.
Love this DR he’s so honest.. if I had the money he would be my first choice.. I really hate my hair loss. I feel so low it’s affected my whole life.
Fly to istanbul i was there two times and last time just one month ago 1,6-1,8k for the whole process including hotel stay for 3 days and all the transportstion. But you need to buy the Flight
@@volkani9008are you on finasteride?
@@volkani9008 What clinic did you use if you don't mind us asking?
Thank you Dr. Linkov. Your videos made me feel ok and accepting my bald look for the time being. I cancelled my scheduled transplant prossedure last year. Maybe in the future if hair cloning will advance might i start thinking about it again.
What are you thoughts on hair stem cell transplant? It would've been awesome if you touched on that in the video as well.
I was a norwood 7 but had small white hairs all over the top. I started medical therapy 3 months ago, i'm now a norwood 4 and there's alot of white mini hairs left. I lost all my hair by 18 and 23 now. I have more hair now then I did at 17.
No issues with sides and what mg and how often are you taking it?
@@hmdwn I started to have constant fatigue recently but I'm not sure if its my office job or the medication but I'm taking oral finasteride and minoxidil. 1.1mg and 3mg daily. I think my results are different from what most people will get since I had extreme hair loss. I didn't reced it just got super thin. I still have a perfect hairline It is still really thin but getting thicker. I'm not entirely sure it was androgenic. Minoxidil and diet might be the only thing doing anything. I was completely balded in less than a year after first noticing thin hair from 17-18.
But also, you're young. All of your loss is recent. Every case of complete returns and the best recoveries is always from 20-25 year olds. You were very aggressive, but you still can halt and slow and reverse it. Be careful of minoxidil long term and stick with finasteride or dutasteride at least 24 months to get a full view of what it will do for you. Also, the hairs you're mentioning are called vellus hairs.
@@xypholddid you shed at all in the beginning of treatment?
@@staffy. At first I didn't think I did then I checked my hat and there were a lot of hairs in it. I'm starting to notice that now
I am currently a norwood 6-7 but I am super hairy on my shoulder and and back and most of the hairs are few inches long so I could probably get my entire head of hair back with them.
Just watched the video out of interest. I completely shaved my had as soon as it was thinning. Wouldn't change it, happy as it is. I shave my head every other day. I lost my hair but I'm not a looser and try to cover it up. I'm actually glad it's gone, I remember when I still had hair, it never was quite as you wanted it to be.
Nowadays, you can get really impressive coverage when you combine scalp + BEARD (or even chest) grafts. Of course, your beard hair needs to be a good MATCH.
Also, it really depends on the donor - some patients have a great donor (and can also use the extended donor area). There are videos of doctors doing over 10 000 gratfs…
Some patients have a very weak donor… then even 6-7000 grafts is a stretch 😅 HT is a case-specific procedure…
It’s wild how much impact a man’s hair can have on his self esteem, thank you for your time Doc 👍🏻
Oh yeah hair can make or break you the same man with hair can be a 7/8 out of 10 but without hair a 3 or a 4
Slightly off-topic (but not really) - could you please make an analysis on the *French President Emmanuel Macron's potential hair transplant/ hair transformation* ? I've recently seen a picture of his wearing a mop of hair on the top of his head like a toupee (not toupee-shaming!) and was wondering if he did something or he just changed his hairdresser. His hair "profile" definitely changed from what I've seen before.
Dr Linkov, what do you think about harvesting beard grafts not just from the neck but also from the face? Literally extracting someone's beard follicles on the chin and the cheeks. I heard some doctors consider it to be a good additional source of grafts as the healing process on the face is very robust and leaves almost no FUE scars after extraction.
With a patient who has Norwood 6 or 7, as a Doctor, I would just forego any work on the crown and focus on giving as much density to the front and mid scalp.
Hey Gary! Could you make a video about the chance of cloning the hair follicle, I read that it was something that people are working on currently and I think it’d be the permanent solution. Cheers
That was probably the Best Presentation I have ever heard. Experience can make all the difference. I had no idea so many grafts were used and must be awesome not to have to really deal with any of that. Some look Great the way they are, but the knowledge of all of this makes you so valuable in your field. What an asset you can be to others. Thanks for this excellent information. It must be such an emotional experience, but oh how comforting too when caring for someone else. Great Job !
I think we also need to discuss the side effects of oral Finasteride. I was on this drug in my middle to late 20’s for hair loss and the side effects were significant (mostly sexual side effects). It took almost an entire year for the most major side effect to return to normal after ceasing this medication. Minoxidil, how ever, had very little side effects.
As much as Finasteride is meant to work and help, I would never take it again and I think it’s important to let people know that it affects your hormone levels and can come with significantly undesirable side effects.
how about topical finasteride? Have you tried it?
Absolutely correct ! Oral Finasteride is big NOOO ! I faced the same drug side effects !
All though i haven't tried topical Finasteride
Me too
@@KNDCHV I have tried topical from KEEPS for two month and had the side effect people talking about. I stopped now and side effects are gone. I am using growplex minoxidil and it has natural DHT blocker. I also use Nutrafol men. Has been only two months, but no side effects, or should I say good side effects like opposite of sexual side effects, if you know what I mean. Do your research on these two product if interested.
sometimes i feel like the only person who has no sides and all the benefits of fin. wish everyone had good luck with it
Great video. I fall into this category and I have to say this video gives me hope. I never thought it was possible.
Ive been using finasteride and minoxidil for 1.5 years now and it really hasnt done anything for me😢
Minoxidil doesn't work at all for about 20-25% of the population. I'm one of them.
Same
Same here, your not alone. Ive been using it for a yr and no obvious benefit.
Oral or topical Minoxidil ?
Try microneedling!
Can you discuss what are ideal ferritin levels to promote hair growth? And maybe also a segment about estrogen dominance and possible hair issues ?
Thank you for your honest and informative videos!
Ha-66 now and very thin on top but not totally gone. Now I get to wear all the cool hats I've collected over the years. Thanks, Doctor Gary!
If you're running light on donor grafts on the scalp would using body hair (like chest and legs) as donor grafts be a viable option?
The answer is yes. You can use body hair as donor hair. I think pubic hair is an option, although some will say it’s a different texture, but I think that’s nonsense.
I just did my 2nd set of a 3 session prp hair injections! I recommend it if your outside of the U.S. its cheaper and more affordable to do than what they charge back home. It did work with thickening my hair. My last session was 4 months ago and my barber had asked if i was using something..so that was a positive comment to hear!
I just have had my hair and beard transplant one week ago.
After the transplant i issued a correction of assymetry and it will be done in half of month from now.
I am concerned about a movie I recently watched "Beard Transplant Failures! 3 Tips to Avoid it!"
All grafys were taken from the back and the side of the scalp. None were taken from neck or chest.
After watching that youtube video I am concerned that the beard with double and triple hair follicles might cause bumpyness of skin and unnatural look.
I do not know yet how it will look and whether it is true what was mentioned in that video.
But if it would be true, then during the scheduled correction I would request to take the hair transplanted to the beard as grafts (at least the double and triple hair follicles) to be re-used in correction of the symmetry on the head part of the transplant.
I have a question for you:
How much truth is in that video?
Can hair transplanted to the beard be reused again as a source? If yes, then should I hurry, or opposite: should I wait till hair falls out and regrows before it can be re-harvested?
(that way I would avoid overdepletion of the donor area and avoid the problems mentioned in the quoted video, plus that would leave space to put in the beard the chest and neck-beard hair instead).
A reaction video or a response to my comment would be greatly appreciated, as only 2 weeks remain now till the symmetry correction.
Thank you for your videos. You are doing a great job and increasing awareness.
I've tetsed Minoxidil for over 6 months and sadly it didn't worked

Ich werde es probieren
Es ist wirklich deprimierend, wenn sich nach einem halben Jahr praktisch nichts getan hat.
Ich schneide meine Haare 1x im Monat auf 5mm runter und mache Fotos.. Aber selbst meine liebste konnte nicht sagen, welches das erste oder das aktuelle Bild ist.
Ich habe sogar extra eine spezielle Emulsion verwendet ohne Alkohol, da ich ansonsten eine extrem juckende und schuppige Kopfhaut bekomme.
Das Zeug kostet über 50€ je 100ml und auf Dauer wurde mir das zu teuer.
Aber ich gebe dem ganzen noch eine Chance 👍
Einen Dermaroller verwende ich übrigens auch 1-2x die Woche
@@TheChrisplayer94 ja kann ich verstehen aber emulsionen sind gut für die Kopfhaut aber nicht gut für die gains die penetrieren die haut nicht so gut wie Alkohol oder PG. schau ob du es nicht doch verträgst. Und was nimmst du sonst noch? Minoxidil ohne anti androgen oder dht blocker bringt nichts.

I was fortunate to get onto finasteride / oral minoxidil, PRP, hair vitamins, derma rolling, hair loss focussed shampoo from my late 30’s. It stopped my shedding and slowed my regressing hair line. This regime produced thick healthy donor hair. And the years of PRP and rolling produced fertile recipient area. I finally had the money and time at 53 to get an FUE done. Only 2000 grafts, but the surgeon suggested well over 5000+ hairs. So mostly the front and lobes with a little going back into the top and crown. It’s been 6 months and it is starting to look mint. Still some uneven growth so cropped on the shorter side. Not sure I’ll fill in the bald patch… I am in my 50’s after all.
Love you doc!!! You explain this entire issue with thoughtfulness and practical applications..... I'm not a N-6, but I am considering a little pluggery! You're the one I want to do my work!!!
Doctor kindly make a video about a 4 or 5 type baldness, that is if a person has hair but thinning is there, when hair is dirty or greasy, scalp also gets visible, front hairline is receding and hair is already gone from crown, what results he might expect from an FUE procedure? Thanks. I'm subscribing.
Has there been any results from the Japanese hair follicle cloning trials ?
I think that went nowhere I heard some time ago, like the method just didn't work well enough
I asked chatgpt when follicle cloning would be possible and it said only in around 2030 - 2035. We'd have to wait a decade unfortunately
One surgeon said for the mid area he’d use beard hair; I don’t mind. The swirl is unknown, started dutasteride so will see. The problem is 3k grafts front, 3k mid, and 2k unknown in crown waiting for dutasteride and topical minoxidil to see what returns.
What about the hair cloning option? Any idea when that will be a general option?
Dr. Gary any thoughts on stem cells for hair regrowth? Spring rejuvenation are making interesting claims
As usual, Dr is to the point with a realistic and feasible transplant plan for Norwood 6/7. The baldies of the world thank you for clearing things up!!! 🤟
🙏
Any great suggestions for men of African descent with thick, curly, “nappy” type of hair? age 37. Thanks Doc 🫡
Has there been any advancement in cloning hair follicles that would help overcome having to harvest so much hair?
Yes, a Japanese physician can perform then either now or real soon. The cost is crazy high though.
I dont mistake it has been done approx 1 year ago.. (don't remembre on wich study it was but think it was posted on Reddit) and it was 50/50
What about prp and red light therapy on the scalp before resorting to finasteride/medications and surgery?
I wanted to take finasteride for hair loss a few years ago, but my doctor advised me against it. He said that although it is approved, it is still a process that you set in motion in your body, because this is still an interference in the hormonal balance.
Your doctor misinformed you.
Either your doctor is an incompetent doctor, or you lied about a doctor saying that to you.
Is there anything that can be done for alopecia?
If you have hair grafts, and DHT is a problem, the hair will be lost again, won't it? When does that happen? How is the hair kept?
Hey Doc! Can you please do a video about Redensyl for hair growth? Thank you!
Hey doc, I may not have many donor hairs on my head, but I do have lots of hair elsewhere. Please use all the hairs in my armpits and nether regions to complete my look 😆

Im just gonna ask this here. What happens if i use Minoxidil and Fenasteride and i have good results then i quit Minoxidil because it is a bother. Will Fenasteride kinda preserve the hair gained by Minoxidil or what will happen?
I did this. I lost hair, but Fin was enough. Then I stopped fin, and boy did my hair take a dive. I got on HIMS chewables bc it has fin and min. But it was pricey. Now I’m getting a HT and will likely go back to it tho bc two birds one stone. However prescription fin is about 3X cheaper
@@rafeeqwarfield9690 but only fin will keep your hair right? I will try topical finasterid in low % concentration
What about shaping the hairline from the neck by taking all of the hair for grafts from back of the upper neck instead of just taking hair evenly from the donor area? Often that area gets trimmed at the barber anyway. And can hair taken from somewhere else from the body transform to the kind of hair that grows in the head or does it stay coarse and short? Also is it ppssible to get hair grafts from some one else or does body reject them like organ transplants?
It rejects it...
Since you charge $30,000 for 4000 grafts... this is way out of the access for 99% of the people who need it.
Solve in Chicago charges $4.50 per graft. I used them a year ago and I'd rate my transplant an A+ for my receding hairline and a B for the crown.

So how many sessions are needed for a level 6 balding? A clinic offered me to cover my entire bald area (front, middle and back) in one session using approx. 4500 grafts of which they would distribute more to the front and less to the back. Is that going to look ok? Is it the right way?
Do finasteride have effect on female hair loss?
I‘m suffering from male pattern hair loss for about half of my life.
I tried oral spironolactone, Cyproterone acetate+ Cyproterone compound for a long time until I faced Uterine fibroids. Now my Endocrinologist prescribed finasteride 5 mg.
If I was a Norwood 6-7 I’d definitely continue medical therapy. I’d want my existing hair to be as strong and as stable as possible. A lot people might not be a great candidate initially but after a year of medical therapy, the calibre of donor hair may increase thus improving their overall candidacy for hair restoration surgery. There’s a good few NW6-7s RUclipsrs that are reliant on meds to maintain their transplant results
What a terrific video, Doc!!!
I'm not sure this will be the channel to ever cover this since you specialize in a specific surgery/technique/technically, but I'm eager to hear when we're able to actually grow and replace or reactivate hair follicles vs grafting them from one spot to another.
you are so chill man
Sir make video on elon musk ..a new video why his hair transplant is so successful in terms of density etc
I’ve wondered about that too! ✌🏽
Could you talk about verteporfin and it's uses in hair transplant? There's Dr. Bloxham from NY and Dr. Barghouthi who seem to have had promising results with regrowth of hair in the harvested donor region. It would be really interesting if you talked about that.
Hey doctor, what about if you have retrograde alopecia?
You need Dutasteride, Finasteride might not be strong enough to stop and regrow hair in the long run. Search the video: How to stop hair loss from diffuse thinning (dupa) and retrograde alopecia by Haircafe
Just got mine at $4 a graft in Austin, TX. No regrets.
Hi Dr Gary, I'm a big fan and dig your channel. If a person uses minoxidil for a number of years then stops will the persons hairloss catch up to a point where it would have been if they had not used minoxidil. Basically if they stop the medication will their hair fall out to a point where it should have been without this medication or will it return to the same point as it was when they initially began the treatment?
I disagree with the assessment on the donor zone. Most men with a Norwood 6 have way more than 12500 grafts in the donor zone. It’s more like 20,000.
20k grafts without it looking weird? His point was 7k before it begins to look sparse at the back
Dr. Linkov, Is Lev Pranov someone who had a hair transplant years ago? The pattern of his hair looks so odd. Is that what happens as people age? I wonder if meds would have helped him.
Anybody here using low dose oral Minoxidil and seeing any results? I am thinking of starting on it as topical does nothing..
When are your products out!!?
Hey Doc, what about body hair? Can we not use chest, beard, pubes for the crown?
How about a video on hair transplant options for women?
Dr Gary, please do something on transplants for women with FFA
We need something that clones our grafts! then you never have the problem of 2-3 operations and you can really come back from the last stages.
Please make a video about hair restoration options for women of childbearing years, or may be trying to get pregnant. It seems like women have to be so intentional about pregnancy when restoring hair loss, which sucks. It seems like you either have to decide to not have children to restore your hair (because medications can harm a fetus), or get pregnant and can’t do anything regarding hair restoration because of risk to the child, but not everyone wants to plan out getting pregnant that extensively. Most therapies I researched include some sort of ongoing medication.
What if you have small head and very thick donor area? Is it possible to have enough of a donor area to cover top of head?
Hi Doctor Gary, I would love to hear your opinion on stem cell treatment and ozone therapy for hair loss.
Bicalutamide + high dose estradiol can get you back from Norwood 6 to Norwood 1, while retaining the libido (bicalutamide alone wont be enough).
Can you still shave your head to stubble after a hair transplant. I'm a 7 with thin hair but would like to have a hairline just to frame my face but would also like to keep it shaved to a stubble
Honestly I started taking monoxide at age 28 we go bald quickly i my family but after 5 years I was able to reverse it. The only problem is that I have to be on monoxide and derma rollers to my life our my hair will fall out.
How long will you keep that up, will there be an age where you say, to hell with it. 45, 50, 55, 60, 70? Or just do it forever
So you keept your Hair just with minoxidil and microneedling ?
Do you take oral or topical Minoxidil ?
I just don’t care about hair loss. If it’s natural that it happens then so be it. We’re all going to lose some hair at a time in life it’s not a big deal. People are too self conscious. Health is most important. That’s what we should be more focused on.
I don’t mind natural ways to help hair loss but soon as you bring up surgery. You lost me😂 If i loose my hair or start thinning. Im just gonna embrace it. Life is what you make of it
Great video very honest and alot of helpful information
if your only implanting 25% of the total hair that has been lost in a given zone, then why does planting an excess of hair in a given area result in death of the implanted hair? Isn't there sufficient blood/nutrient supply ? is that supply lost overtime along with the hair ?
What is your opinion on Scalp hair laser removal Dr. Linkov? Is it safe?
Would love to see you review Brazilian Dr. Pitella’s work. Arguably the best hair transplant surgeon in the world for high Norwood patients. He’ll do two back to back giga sessions with 10K+ grafts and his results are out of this world.

Dr. Linkov - Can you do a video going over essential oils and give your tips / opinions on the use of them for someone trying to avoid chemicals/meds? I really love all of your content and it has helped me so much so thank you!!!
forget it.. most of it is useless.. often even harsh on your scalp. there are no "good" studies, showing effects.
Also wasn't there movement towards stem cell hair growth to produce more grafts in a Petrie dish?

Is there a possibility of combining a stem cell hair transplant with FUE?
No one cares about thinness in the donor area as we often shave that/fade hairstyle. A really short back n sides makes the top look fuller too. Smp can be used in donor area also after the fue is performed

There's a small spot on the right side of my hairline that had receded a bit. Makes my hairline look about 5 degrees slanted. Do you think I should just transplant my beard hair to there instead? I never really want my neck hairs anyway. Tired of shaving there.
Are you able to do an updated video on oral medications and hair loss, particularly newer medications or changes to our understanding of side effects such as finasteride used to be linked to prostate cancer side effect and is now no longer.

I actually started going bald in my senior year of high-school. I'm 37 and not completely bald on the top of my head.
Im stuck because I don't want to take minoxidil or fin as I haven't had a family and in my late 30s. I'm considering a transplant but then worried that the surrounding areas will thin out and leave me with islands etc and then will need more transplants etc. is it worth getting a transplant I will only do it once and have several health conditions that make it risky but all I want is enough thickness that you don't see thinness and I dont need a hat.
I'm going to check to see if you've done a vid on Rogaine for Women. I have a couple patches that just won't grow back from Chemo. Would like to hear what you think of Rogaine for Women and would it be likely to work or fail because the hair loss is chemo induced. Love your videos. BTW I'll be 70 in May.

Hi Dr Gary, I have an interesting question, that I have not seen a lot of info about.
So a few questions;
1.) hair harvested from the donor areas seem to be predominantly in the middle of the back. What about the Hairs at the bottom adjoining the neck, can they be used?
2.) you mentioned that on average, patients generally can use 6000-7000 grafts from the donor areas, does that apply for all races? I noticed for Asians the lower hairline at the back that I mentioned above, is far lower below the ear lobe than that of a Caucasians (eg, the hairline stops 1.5 inches below the ear where on a Caucasian, the hairline stops around/at the earlobe) I’m not sure whether that is the feature of having a less prominent/protruding occipital bone that makes the back of their head appear more flat, hence lowering that back hairline as a result… or simply they have more hairs at the back.. if this the case, they would technically have more hairs available to harvest than that of a Caucasian?
Thanks
