@@rdu239 hair loss effects 1/4 of men so yeah I agree there's a lot more who are balding than people who use steroids. I think 1-5% of the population would use steroids
28 years old and started noticing some thinning and hairline recession. I used to say I didn't care if I went bald, since every male in my family is. But seeing it start to recede really sucks! I was panicking until I discovered your videos, it makes me feel much better knowing I have some options. Honestly I wouldn't be embarrassed about getting a hair transplant at all. You're the best! You give me hope!
I've been balding since 19 (I'm 22 now and it has gotten very bad I'm not kidding Its not in my head many people have commented on how sparse it has become and I would definitely end up looking like a monk before age 25) wish I'd seen him earlier. I'm currently on finasteride 1mg daily thanks to one of his videos dispelling my previous fears about the drug. I'll be getting a hair transplant in the next few years but will be dermarolling and trying to recover my lost hair naturally as much as possible first. I recommend you start finasteride too if you haven't done so already. I understand your feelings about not caring too, I am currently completely shaven rocking that bald look but I don't want to rock it until I'm in my 30s 😂 Oh god just give me a few years haha Nah all jokes aside anyone reading this don't worry about your hair too much. As long as you have your health and your friends/family you'll be the happiest man alive :)

By his 60s, the area on his head where Matthew's hair was harvested from was a bald area.
I was so sick of a lot of these people commenting on these procedures in general and didn’t want to watch this guy at first... now I honestly think he’s the best one out there. Very honest, nice, gives information that is extremely palatable. Love it.
I’m not a celebrity and I don’t play one on TV, but I got a transplant about three weeks ago and don’t mind people knowing about it. I even posted the immediate before and after (day of) pictures on Facebook because it can be helpful to others with thinning hair who don’t know what, if anything, to do about it. I’m grateful to Dr. Linkov and this channel for bringing me up to speed on what’s involved. To mention one thing in particular that was helpful, I requested the surgeon not use his robot and do it by hand, based on Linkov’s advice.

Shave and embrace the baldness. I went through the whole painful journey. In the long run you'll be much happier. You'll save tons of money, reduce constant anxiety, and eventually realize that hair is not as big a deal as you previously thought when you get used to it...It's very liberating! Bald is badass!!
Whoever did that work on Matthew is a freakin genius, it takes a thorough expert analysis like this to really break it down. Too bad he so vehemently denies it to market some magic product, because i'd like to know who the Doctor is so i can congratulate him, but there's probably a confidentiality agreement that's also lucrative, so this will remain another Hollywood "mystery" lol
Same as other actors claiming to use powdered milk and chicken breasts to grow muscles, instead of just being honest that they're cycling testosterone under doctors supervision 😂 unless people think the Rock can maintain that much muscle at his age
The confidentiality agreement is called physician-patient privilege and it does not need to be bought, its the law. His HT doc could lose his or her license if they disclosed that they'd done a procedure on him, and it would cost them a lot of dinero.
As someone who has had at least seven procedures (I honestly don't know, could be 8) and who has had a pretty good results thanks to a dense donor area and curly/wavy dark brown hair my advice to anyone thinking about going down this path is (1) be realistic with your expectations because you will likely never be fully satisfied, (2) be certain you will have the funds to go thru it several times over the years as your hair loss progresses, $50-80k total is a good estimate of the total cost, (3) use all medicinal modalities before getting an HT, to see how they work, and know you will need to keep using them forever. The better advice to everyone, man woman child, is to never ever fall in love with your physical looks because they WILL change, not might, WILL. And not for the better, unless you suddenly become a fitness freak and achieve change that way. I am not at all sure I would do it over again if I had the choice, even though the clinic I use now is one of the tops in the world and charge about $5/FUT graft. They've done a wonderful job, but even then I still have to use a bit of concealer in front and on the crown. I am 51 and am frequently estimated to be 38 to 40. But had I saved the money and invested it I would probably own at least two more rental units than the four I currently own. As far as Mr. McConaughey, yes, definitely he has had HT. My only question is how much he was paid by Regenix to "plug" their product on a talk show.
You are right, in 2017 I was getting my 2nd transplant in Rochester NY and over heard the nurses talking about Matthew "Mcconheyyy" . Apparently, he was there the same day. I want to make it clear, that I did not see him there that day. However, from the staff's conversations it gave you the impression that he was there. I have had 2 FUT transplants by Dr. Quatella. He was fantastic. Dr. Gary you remind me of a younger version of him.
Very professional of them SMH. Shows that staff are not to be trusted. At our local doctors office, I've overheard the nurses talking $..+ on patients in the background, including even myself while I was there.
Love your humour and your fresh good looks. Elegant segue from people who you compliment, then smoothly announce some disagreement. I wish more people would express discord in such a friendly, informative way.
RUclips enables us to hear the comments, criticisms, analyses and opinions of a plastic surgeon who consistently receives 5 star reviews from his patients. These videos are informative, educational, and enlightening. Thank you Dr. linkov!
You're awesome, doc! You are pleasant to listen to and very knowledgeable in your field of expertise. You have a very scientific approach. If I was in the states, I would definitely let you do a hair transplant for me (62 yrs. young). My hairs been receding and balding on the crown.
I think Matthew is the ultimate example of how well a hair transplant can look. Of course, for him, money was not an issue so he could get the best transplants possible.
Always enjoy your videos Dr. Linkov! You brought to the table a strong argument & I agree with you! The treatment he claims he used I believe could give him minimal results (if any), however the fullness of his hairline in later years, was a complete 180! I do believe he had extra “help” lol. Love the fact that you appreciate scientific results & supplied them for us to take a look as well. Happy New Year!
I think you are right, it seems Matthew Mc Conaughey had hair transplants. Great for him, and for all men who have problems with there look in the mirror. Maybe it would be better he stands for it, he could inspire other men to do the same. But that is what show business is all about, a shiny, beautiful, happy, fake world. We all love to see them getting old with a young, lean, and healthy body. For me it is so inspiring to see what plastic surgery, hair transplantation etc. can do nowadays. We are living in a fascinating time. Thank you so much for your Videos. Monique.
The fact that there has been so much debate on Matthew's hair and whether the improvement over the years was due to magic cream, hair systems, products or hair transplants is a testament to how far the hair options have progressed from the stone age of cornrow grafting. Until donor cloning becomes a reality, we are fortunate to have top-notch surgeons that can produce natural undiscernible results that take a pro like Dr. Gary to reveal the truth. It would be nice if Matthew would come forward and confirm what we now know that hair transplants, when done by a world-class surgeon, can produce a made for Hollywood result.
I think he had great hair transplants, and kudos to whomever did his procedures. I had a few hair transplants many years ago, and though they look OK, they are not as good as what these famous people received (probably with much better and more expensive surgeons). They did a pretty good job on my hairline, though not as good of a job on my crown area.
We have to keep in mind that people have different types of hair. The end result isn't all about the operation being good or bad but how much coverage your hair type gives you.
As a young man I had incredibly beautiful, strong, auburn hair. I grew it long and it was my trade mark. The thought of losing my hair caused me a lot of anxiety, especially as I had started to worry about receding at the crowns. The tldr is that I shaved it off for work reasons. Ive partially grown it back, I may grow it long again... who knows. In fact the fear of going bald was far worse than any hair condition I had. Im over 50 now, with good hair, with more grey growing through. My point is that people like you for what you do with pride and confidence, and that might mean growing your hair long, OR shaving it all OFF. Im an older, straight, man. If I went on a date with a GIRL who was completely bald, but owned it, I would not even blink.
Definitely a hair transplant. I'm fairly certain Christian Slater who you see at the beginning of your video, had one as well. I had a hair transplant a month ago and I'm very open about it to anyone that is interested. It's a long process but I look forward to seeing results in another 2-3 months!
I recall a hair transplant consultant doing a video about Matthew's hair and he was able to pull pictures from around 2010 and 2015 where he had major recession in his temples. I also recall seeing a couple of videos from his personal youtube channel where he's at his home just talking into a camera and his hair looked crazy thin. Even watching interstellar at some points in the movie his hairline looks quite high.
I just watched the video talking about that same thing, that he hasn't had hair transplants but rather uses very sophisticated front lace hair pieces for certain movies and events.
@@tuffstuff2U True. His hair was thinning big time way back around the mid -l ate 90s. His instant thicker hair are from very good lace/thin skin hair pieces not any gel, meds or transplants. Nothing more or less.
For all those who are debating getting it done. DO IT. I would highly recommend going to Turkey. My friend just got back and he had a cul-de-sac classic horseshoe shape balding. 4500 grafts for $3K! He is only 6 months in and it looks amazing. The likelihood of the procedure looking more natural diminishes the longer you wait. I'm going next year.
The only thing that everybody forgets to look at is, is it gonna last? They all say hair will still be growing normally but there has been lots of men saying that after 2-3 years after the procedure the hair started falling again. So yeah thats what Im concerned about when getting it
these new procedures are really fantastic, the result is so natural, I remember at the beginning of these operations the result was catastrophic, people had on their heads a field of leeks, it was really ugly
Never heard about this Regenix, and from what you said doc it doesn't make me wanna know either hahaha. About Matt's hair, great video covering the subject, when I was young I thought he used a hairpiece for sure lol, but after growing up and learning more and more on the subject, I couldn't agree more with you doc, his hair just gets better and increases density like crazy only using topical products?! I ain't buying it
I think you have it dialed in just about right. McConaughey is a great looking guy w/ angular and tight facial lineaments, likely has a stylist who can magnify good results. His wavy hair certainly helps, too. No matter where his hair might've come from, most everyone surely agrees that's some really great looking hair! I'm not bothered, at all, by Matthew not revealing details. More bothered by those who pay little attention to their appearance. Good video by the way!
He's smarter than most with it. He usually gets a full buzzcut so no one notices he got a transplant. And when he grows back, he gets a wild style so no one notices any follicle changes.
Hi doctor, I am using Minoxidil to improve hair growth..but it only helps the hair on the middle skull to grow...what can i do to grow hair on side skull
Thank you, I've learned so very much as I prepare to have mine! I wish I lived in N.Y. so I could work with you, but I live in CA. The cost is just too great to fly to N.Y. I sure wish you would comment on Bosely.
Good on him! He saw something that he thought looked bad on him and fixed it. The result is probably one of the best I've seen, so everyone's a winner. If you can afford it...and that's a big "if" as it's still prohibitively expensive for most people IMO, then don't hesitate to get one.
I am a bit on the edge with Matthew McConaughey.. not sure if he did indeed have a hair transplant. He has a similar look as an old boss of mine.. that guy also had much worse hair 20 years ago and I definitely know he had no hair transplants. He used natural remedies and Propecia and his hair is full now, much more than ever before. If indeed it was a transplant here in this case it was really done much better than what you usually see. Looks very very natural I have to say.
I really want to ask you this question- You said it's not recommended to do more than 2500 grafts in one take for few reasons. But what If you do two operations, say three days apart, so that I would just be done with, let's say 4000 grafts?
No. Not a great idea because you want to see how the hair grows in before committing thousands more precious grafts. What if an area doesn’t grow in well and you now want that area filled in again but you’ve now utilized many of your grafts elsewhere?
@@drgarylinkov Yeah, and also donor area management becomes tricky as well. Multiple day surgeries are performed to give the crew rest, not the patient.
what people forget is this is an actor. he basically invested in his career as he is in the public all the time. dont compare yourself to such people. you are perfectly fine without hair
@MegaSkilla did i say everybody has to shave it off? i just encouraged people to feel good in their body no matter what. if you are insecure and want to follow society standarts no problem go for a hair transplant. you do you buddy =)
I've always known MM got hair transplants. He wasn't fooling me. A history of online pictures makes him a liar when asked. WHY be ashamed to want to look better (within reason) ??? Trying to look like you did at 20 when you're 50 is stupid. The trick is being "age appropriate" when it comes to how much work you want to get done. Ty Dr Linkov for doing what you do!
Hi Dr Gary I love the content keep up, I do agree with You Mathew did had hair transplant but a Very good one. You should also cover Bradley Cooper’s hair transplant. I think he had two hair transplant but I want to know what You think..
@@joethi4981 sure, no secret there 2750 €! The same treatment in Belgium would have cost me 18000€! Ridiculous, but then European prices are ridiculous. So there you have it.
Very insightful and entertaining take ! I wonder why celebrities aren't truly honest and down to earth about their flaws and procedures, like Jamie fox, and kim k for example both obviously have had a transplants or procedures done but choose not to admit it. They would be so much more likable.
Frankly, it really goes against his salt of the Earth persona. If people lie about something so trivial it means they probably lie about a lot of other stuff too.
Can you do a video on Mike O'Hearn and his hair transplant please?? He is a 50 year old bodybuilder that claims he's never used steroids, Botox, etc..., but what I think is so toxic about that guy is that he then sells vitamins and other supplements for hundreds and hundreds of dollars to people that believe him. He is the worst kind of RUclipsr and you can be the first doctor to prove he is lying.
I am getting FUE done, 3000 grafts in September. Does anyone know from experience if it is painful? I was told by the surgeon it is not. Just soreness. Thanks!
38 years old and i've never had hair loss problems and no hair loss in my family. However, I started TRT therapy a couple of years ago and I'm noticing my hairline receding. It really worries me, but the benefits from TRT outweigh the cons. I've been looking at hair loss treatments and solutions, but idk it just seems like such a hassle and lots of stress. I think I'll just let it go and eventually shave it, but it still makes me feel insecure at times. Oh well
Please do a video on Johnny Depp! Both on the hair aspect of it as well as the face. Huge fan of that man! But I would love to see what work he has likely done over the years to stay looking so darn good! Nobody looks that good on accident when they are approaching 60. I love his work, but it would be trippy to see what it takes to look that good
You're kidding me, right?? Johnny Depp looks AWFUL from all the booze and drugs. The only guys that are still hot at that age are Keanu, Brad, Jared Leto, and Tom Cruise.
@@Mint-kj9kw Up until the past few years Johnny Depp has aged incredibly well. And it’s really not fair to compare him to all those other guys who are all fitness nuts. You’d probably not look your best if you had a crazy ex-wife trying to bleed you dry and ruin your reputation

Love your videos - keep them up and thank you. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I think you are right, it seems Matthew Mc Conaughey had hair transplants. Great for him, and for all men who have problems with there look in the mirror. Maybe it would be better he stands for it, he could inspire other men to do the same. But that is what show business is all about, a shiny, beautiful, happy, fake world.
We all love to see them getting old with a young, lean, and healthy body. For me it is so inspiring to see what plastic surgery, hair transplantation etc. can do nowadays. We are living in a fascinating time. Thank you so much for your Videos. Monique.
This man is truly a masculine man.
His confidence is how man should take it.
Love man who are confident and his head is lovely 🥰
Interesting that Christian Slater was interviewing him ... who himself has had a HT. Big fan of both! 🤙🏻
Thanks Doctor
Riveting Gary!!! Thank God some of us guys have your option! Hair Loss is second only to cancer. Glad I'm still here!
Are you kidding me? Are you that insecure????
Dr. Gary, you're great!! Keep up the good work, I love the videos!
I have to say whoever did his hair, did a great job.
Any doubts vanished after seeing that linear low density area on the back which is usually an FUT scar as Dr. Gary here taught us
The fact that there has been so much debate on Matthew's hair and whether the improvement over the years was due to magic cream, hair systems, products or hair transplants is a testament to how far the hair options have progressed from the stone age of cornrow grafting. Until donor cloning becomes a reality, we are fortunate to have top-notch surgeons that can produce natural undiscernible results that take a pro like Dr. Gary to reveal the truth. It would be nice if Matthew would come forward and confirm what we now know that hair transplants, when done by a world-class surgeon, can produce a made for Hollywood result.
I think Dr. gary is wrong. There is no doctor out there that can produce results that naturally.
Matthew you can't fool us! We have Dr Gary now 🧐
You are spot on. I had several and I couldn't agree with you more.
I think he had great hair transplants, and kudos to whomever did his procedures. I had a few hair transplants many years ago, and though they look OK, they are not as good as what these famous people received (probably with much better and more expensive surgeons). They did a pretty good job on my hairline, though not as good of a job on my crown area.
I think the hairline would be the most important area to not mess up
We have to keep in mind that people have different types of hair. The end result isn't all about the operation being good or bad but how much coverage your hair type gives you.
True Detective season one was the best.
All right all right all right!! 😃👏
You were right! It is a very fun video!
Worth the wait! ❤
🙏
This is my new favorite channel!
As a young man I had incredibly beautiful, strong, auburn hair. I grew it long and it was my trade mark. The thought of losing my hair caused me a lot of anxiety, especially as I had started to worry about receding at the crowns. The tldr is that I shaved it off for work reasons. Ive partially grown it back, I may grow it long again... who knows. In fact the fear of going bald was far worse than any hair condition I had. Im over 50 now, with good hair, with more grey growing through.
My point is that people like you for what you do with pride and confidence, and that might mean growing your hair long, OR shaving it all OFF. Im an older, straight, man. If I went on a date with a GIRL who was completely bald, but owned it, I would not even blink.
Wtf
Exactly!! I'm a 46 yr old woman who has buzzed off hair AT LEAST 4x. I actually get compliments. Its just hair people!!!
Right? I’m 31 but I think many girls look great bald. It really is all about owning it
Dr. Linkov, I regrew my hair by using PRP injections, and I made my own PRP kit to be used at home and it WORKED.
I think you are right, as always, a very well done job better now than back then I'm impressed.
Definitely a hair transplant. I'm fairly certain Christian Slater who you see at the beginning of your video, had one as well. I had a hair transplant a month ago and I'm very open about it to anyone that is interested. It's a long process but I look forward to seeing results in another 2-3 months!
Do one for Zac Efron and John Travolta I think that would be interesting c:
John Travolta wears hair systems (wigs)
I think you're right, you have great videos. Thanks Dr. G!
I recall a hair transplant consultant doing a video about Matthew's hair and he was able to pull pictures from around 2010 and 2015 where he had major recession in his temples. I also recall seeing a couple of videos from his personal youtube channel where he's at his home just talking into a camera and his hair looked crazy thin. Even watching interstellar at some points in the movie his hairline looks quite high.
I just watched the video talking about that same thing, that he hasn't had hair transplants but rather uses very sophisticated front lace hair pieces for certain movies and events.
@@tuffstuff2U True. His hair was thinning big time way back around the mid -l ate 90s. His instant thicker hair are from very good lace/thin skin hair pieces not any gel, meds or transplants. Nothing more or less.
Ditto! You are such a Gem. Thank you!
For all those who are debating getting it done. DO IT. I would highly recommend going to Turkey. My friend just got back and he had a cul-de-sac classic horseshoe shape balding. 4500 grafts for $3K! He is only 6 months in and it looks amazing. The likelihood of the procedure looking more natural diminishes the longer you wait. I'm going next year.
Which clinic/doctor in turkey??
who???
The only thing that everybody forgets to look at is, is it gonna last? They all say hair will still be growing normally but there has been lots of men saying that after 2-3 years after the procedure the hair started falling again. So yeah thats what Im concerned about when getting it
The special ointment contains...love.
👏🏾👏👏🏻First sponsor!!!
So crazy this doc is talking about celeb hair transplants, yet the doc himself looks absolutely gorgeous with no hair! Haha love it! God bless! ☺️ 💗
these new procedures are really fantastic, the result is so natural, I remember at the beginning of these operations the result was catastrophic, people had on their heads a field of leeks, it was really ugly
You Nailed It
Never heard about this Regenix, and from what you said doc it doesn't make me wanna know either hahaha. About Matt's hair, great video covering the subject, when I was young I thought he used a hairpiece for sure lol, but after growing up and learning more and more on the subject, I couldn't agree more with you doc, his hair just gets better and increases density like crazy only using topical products?! I ain't buying it
Dr Gary does Fut makes the results looks natural or the surgeon was really good ? Thanks 🙏
I think you have it dialed in just about right. McConaughey is a great looking guy w/ angular and tight facial lineaments, likely has a stylist who can magnify good results. His wavy hair certainly helps, too. No matter where his hair might've come from, most everyone surely agrees that's some really great looking hair! I'm not bothered, at all, by Matthew not revealing details. More bothered by those who pay little attention to their appearance. Good video by the way!
Love the channel Dr Linkov is a great presenter.
Do a video on Kanye’s hair transplant. He got a very subtle one. Mainly his temples were filled in. Looks so natural!
He's smarter than most with it. He usually gets a full buzzcut so no one notices he got a transplant. And when he grows back, he gets a wild style so no one notices any follicle changes.
This is very good info! Thanks for your great analysis Dr. :)
Hi doctor, I am using Minoxidil to improve hair growth..but it only helps the hair on the middle skull to grow...what can i do to grow hair on side skull
You probably can't, sorry. Higher dose oral minoxidil might do it, but that has serious health risks and I would not recommend it at all.
If im losing hair just in the front if i apply minoxidil just there, it might work ?
(Sorry for my english im European)
Thank you, I've learned so very much as I prepare to have mine! I wish I lived in N.Y. so I could work with you, but I live in CA. The cost is just too great to fly to N.Y. I sure wish you would comment on Bosely.
Completely agree with you! His hair looks great! He should own it though.
Good on him! He saw something that he thought looked bad on him and fixed it. The result is probably one of the best I've seen, so everyone's a winner. If you can afford it...and that's a big "if" as it's still prohibitively expensive for most people IMO, then don't hesitate to get one.
Good on him, but also thanks to man like Jude Law for rocking shaved had..
Dr. Gary Linkov is so good he's actually 68 years old.
Dr Linkov is about 32 years old. He started med school in 2007, presumably he was about 22 years old at the time.
@@DeeDee-lz8zx It’s a joke lol. We’re actually the same age Im 32. But yeah he takes care of himself for sure! 🤙
Which hair transplant is better FUE or FUT?
We have a video on that.
I am a bit on the edge with Matthew McConaughey.. not sure if he did indeed have a hair transplant. He has a similar look as an old boss of mine.. that guy also had much worse hair 20 years ago and I definitely know he had no hair transplants. He used natural remedies and Propecia and his hair is full now, much more than ever before. If indeed it was a transplant here in this case it was really done much better than what you usually see. Looks very very natural I have to say.
love your vids Linkov
I really want to ask you this question-
You said it's not recommended to do more than 2500 grafts in one take for few reasons. But what If you do two operations, say three days apart, so that I would just be done with, let's say 4000 grafts?
Its actually very common in turkey to do like what you said 2 sessions the next day hope doc replies on what he thinks about it
No. Not a great idea because you want to see how the hair grows in before committing thousands more precious grafts. What if an area doesn’t grow in well and you now want that area filled in again but you’ve now utilized many of your grafts elsewhere?
@@drgarylinkov Thanks, that totally make sense
@@drgarylinkov Yeah, and also donor area management becomes tricky as well. Multiple day surgeries are performed to give the crew rest, not the patient.
no reason to hide a procedure, they look great. makes me wanna get one
what people forget is this is an actor. he basically invested in his career as he is in the public all the time. dont compare yourself to such people. you are perfectly fine without hair
@MegaSkilla did i say everybody has to shave it off? i just encouraged people to feel good in their body no matter what. if you are insecure and want to follow society standarts no problem go for a hair transplant. you do you buddy =)
I've always known MM got hair transplants. He wasn't fooling me. A history of online pictures makes him a liar when asked. WHY be ashamed to want to look better (within reason) ??? Trying to look like you did at 20 when you're 50 is stupid. The trick is being "age appropriate" when it comes to how much work you want to get done. Ty Dr Linkov for doing what you do!
Hi Dr Gary I love the content keep up, I do agree with You Mathew did had hair transplant but a Very good one. You should also cover Bradley Cooper’s hair transplant. I think he had two hair transplant but I want to know what You think..
I think you're spot on
I know you have a hair condition but damn you rock it well!!! I don’t know what you looked like with hair, but I like how you look now.
I do, too. Incredibly handsome.
This dude is the professor X of hair transplants. Subscribed.
Steve carrell could be next! Great transplant!
at 8:29 the picture you used for 2006 is obviosly edited / touched up by some magazine to make his hair look thicker.
The cosmetologist in me just wants you to mention his hair color change as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I look right past that lol
I just had a transplant 3500 grafts! Let’s see still restoring. And yes I believe you are absolutely right on this one! 👍🏼
Can I ask how much did it cost you?
@@joethi4981 sure, no secret there 2750 €! The same treatment in Belgium would have cost me 18000€! Ridiculous, but then European prices are ridiculous. So there you have it.
Need to know the clinic? Esteworld Istanbul. My brother did it a year ago at this clinic, AMAZING RESULT
Greetings Guy-Louis 😉
3500 grafts for only 2750? thats less than 1 USD per graft. i'm skeptical
So sad that he lied. It’s quite obvious he has done something to regrow that hairline. I have always admired him. :(
He didn't even have to. It's like he was on their show just to address it lol
He didn't regrow anything. He had transplants.
People are embarrassed. I think it’s ok to not admit it, we all know anyway
Thanks. Can you suggest clinics in the Toronto area?
Very insightful and entertaining take ! I wonder why celebrities aren't truly honest and down to earth about their flaws and procedures, like Jamie fox, and kim k for example both obviously have had a transplants or procedures done but choose not to admit it. They would be so much more likable.
Jamie Fox without a doubt wears a hair system, through the years his hair line has moves all over the place.
Great video! Thank you!
Why can't he simply say he got a transplant?
Frankly, it really goes against his salt of the Earth persona. If people lie about something so trivial it means they probably lie about a lot of other stuff too.
@@hanscastorp1945 can't agree more with you.
Yes dr linkov with the truth! So tired of the denial from celebrities why not tell the truth
Can you do a video on Mike O'Hearn and his hair transplant please?? He is a 50 year old bodybuilder that claims he's never used steroids, Botox, etc..., but what I think is so toxic about that guy is that he then sells vitamins and other supplements for hundreds and hundreds of dollars to people that believe him.
He is the worst kind of RUclipsr and you can be the first doctor to prove he is lying.
Hehe good old Mike O'Tren.. .that would be fabulous.. Maybe it's his duck eggs that have magic powers lmao.
I am getting FUE done, 3000 grafts in September. Does anyone know from experience if it is painful? I was told by the surgeon it is not. Just soreness. Thanks!
38 years old and i've never had hair loss problems and no hair loss in my family.
However, I started TRT therapy a couple of years ago and I'm noticing my hairline receding. It really worries me, but the benefits from TRT outweigh the cons.
I've been looking at hair loss treatments and solutions, but idk it just seems like such a hassle and lots of stress. I think I'll just let it go and eventually shave it, but it still makes me feel insecure at times. Oh well
Worrying?? A mature man? Seriously?
You have TRT for training?
@@robbertag808 of course lol very few young men really need trt
TRT will nuke your hair. Goodluck
Kinda late but, bro just take finasteride
I love your thumbnails, doctor.
Of course you're right. Never believed him. Its fairly obvious.....
very informative video thanks
Please do a video on Johnny Depp! Both on the hair aspect of it as well as the face. Huge fan of that man! But I would love to see what work he has likely done over the years to stay looking so darn good! Nobody looks that good on accident when they are approaching 60. I love his work, but it would be trippy to see what it takes to look that good
You're kidding me, right?? Johnny Depp looks AWFUL from all the booze and drugs. The only guys that are still hot at that age are Keanu, Brad, Jared Leto, and Tom Cruise.
@@Mint-kj9kw Up until the past few years Johnny Depp has aged incredibly well. And it’s really not fair to compare him to all those other guys who are all fitness nuts. You’d probably not look your best if you had a crazy ex-wife trying to bleed you dry and ruin your reputation
You should make videos about hair loss treatments that aren't FDA approved, like RU58841, Fluridil and Alfatradiol. Do they work?
We need to see Matthew arrested and heavily interrogated to see what what’s really going on.

Does rogaine have any issues with psoriasis? Please let us know, thank you!
It’s not vanity, it’s commerce.
You are no doubt correct; however, a fear of being thought to be vain could also be involved. Something more common in men than women, I think.
@@fromingpigeon I’m quoting McConaughey quoting Dennis Hopper talking about plastic surgery.
@@Rainy_Day12234 Ah, I see.
your always right Dr G
