Super knowledgeable, humble, passionate and honest about everything. Great channel, doc!
Very underrated channel. And congratulations, your hair looks perfect!
Never knew nor could I tell you suffered from hair loss yourself. Thanks for sharing your experience - it will provide a lot of hope to hair loss sufferers.
I really like how you explained every step of your journey carefully and keep it real as they are many channels on youtube that seem to provide with "magic solutions" and spread misleading information. I'm glad you are able to enjoy those curls in the end :)
Thankyou!
Great information. Glad to see your hair back.I hope you will make a video about finasteride side effects
ONLY started noticing hair growth after doubling the dosage of minoxidil. 1ml is ridiculously low. It barely covers your scalp and most gets on your hair. I use a minimum of two FULL droppers worth twice a day along with derma rolling once a week. I was using the two-bit four drops of minoxidil for 8 months with no effects. Three months after doubling up, I had great gains. No side effects at all. Most side effects are all psychosomatic and guys getting so worried about the non-existent side effects due to the power of suggestion. So don't worry about it. Trust me.
check out derma stamps and pens as well. They allegedly can be better.
Might want to consider microneedling every 2 weeks at an absolute minimum. This isn’t only for recovery but important growth factors
With 2 mil I get black eyes and a brown stain on the left zygom and temple.
Brother how often you do you change your dermaroller? And how do you sanitize it.
@kuramafox1290 Every 4 months, and I soak it in rubbing alcohol before and after every use.
Best decision I ever made. Loved it so much went back 10mi tha later and did it again. 33 years old and my hair is better than when I was 20!!
How you do that?
Oh come on shut up with your promo, many studierà showed that regrowth with minoxidil is about 1% , it lucky. Finasteride is a game changer
@@Andy-oy7stfinasterid is chemical Kastration...good luck with it bro 😂
i flipping knew it was you.. amazing results. keep up the good work xD
Great result, good on ya
0:51 that sniff was personal😂
Have you seen the recent results about Verteporfin? Have you mentioned or discussed it with colleagues since its seems it will help limit scarring in the extraction regions and is seemingly safe in terms of side effects
Thanks sm for this video! It took my about 6 months to get out of this rabbithole…when you are constantly looking at your hairline and so on….hairloss can really be a terrible thing. I will be getting my hair transplant in switzerland in summer :) But I think I will go for the FUE because I always wear a fade and I think this would not be possible with the FUT scar… what do you think? I am 25, on minox and fin.
How long have you been taking finasteride?
great hear, congrats, man
Besides the great result, what's your haircare routine ? Shampoos etc
I’ve noticed that in many severe cases where men bald very early, where their case is more rare than the balding man in his 30’s, they need Dutasteride over Finasteride. Though I have seen Finasteride work very well in those men also, it does seem that for those whom Finasteride is not enough, they tend to fall in that category more than not.
Dutasteride not fda appro if im correct
@@espada9noveno Finasteride IS FDA approved.
Dutasteride is not FDA approved
@@dominictorrettoo Dutasteride is FDA approved, but not for hair loss. Doctors can legally off-label prescribe it.
There is no specific science with androgenic alopecia.
Some men can stop it with low dose finasteride, some with full dose, and some will need dutasteride.
And of course some have aggressive genetics and nothing will help them.
All we can do is try.
great video!
Which Surgery you Did Dr FUT or FUE which clinic it was ? thanks
Had that for yeaaars at the temples.
Got my monks hole 5 year ago and now I'm in right state of mind consistently again, I'm sorting out my sagging AGEed fave, and bald spots
We just look better! A scabby looking pigeon vs beautiful plumage.
What is the survival rate for FUE vs FUT in Drs Feller and Bloxham's practice? And can you possibly speak to why Hasson & Wong claim they can get comparable, if not better, survival rates with FUE? Perhaps Drs Feller and Bloxham could collaborate with them to learn some of their tricks for improving FUE results? I say that because there really are some benefits to not having the FUT scar, like not having that noticeable dent in the hair in the back where the layers fall over the scar.
Be careful with that clinic
Hasson & Wong?
I had 2 FUT transplants but had poor growth. The problem with FUT is cutting away and sewing back a strip at the back will tighten your scalp. My scalp is still tight after many years after the op and losing the transplanted hairs
Hello, I’m sorry your experience hasn’t been ideal. I must say this is not a problem for FUT for almost all patients I’ve seen and I have seen thousands.
@@DrParissis did you find your scalp tighter after the FUT?
the hair transplant is what gained him all of the ground back on the temple but remember the important part is he started taking finasteride to prevent further loss. You could argue dutasteride, the stronger 5ar inhibitor, would be better to prevent further loss in the future in severe MPB cases like this. 21 is really early to see balding that severe. if you get a hair transplant and dont take any major 5ar inhibitor life finasteride or dutasteride. you are just going to continue balding and thinning at the same rate as before. the transplanted hair is resistant to dht and wont bald like the normal hairs on top of your head so long as the donor area is quality but the hair behind the donor hair is going to continue thinning and falling out. and its not like you can just keep getting hair transplants to catch up because eventually you will run out of donor hair, and that would be really expensive anyway to keep going back and doesnt make sense when you can just take the medication.
Very well said! Why is it that the transplanted hair is resistant to DHT and won't fall out? And how to judge if the donor hair is quality or not?
Hello Doc, Thank you first of all for this informative video. Did you find out before the operation what is the diameter of your hair on average? I wonder actually the thinkness of your hair. For example, I have thin hair and I wonder if I can get a great result like you with 2000-2500 grafts and my bald area is just like yours before you got hair transplant. Accordingly, I will know how much area 2,300 grafts can cover. Kind regards...
Hello! I do believe I have more wider diameter hairs you are right. However, patients with lower diameter hair tend to have MORE hair follicles in their SDA as more can be packed in anatomically. This means we still generally achieve great results with these patients as often we can harvest more grafts to compensate for the low diameter hairs.
@@DrParissis Thank you very much for the feedback.
I have one last question that I can't find an answer to anywhere else, I hope you will answer it.
Can a daily shedding rate of 100 to 150 hairs be considered normal for everyone? For example, if a person with healthy hair has an average of 100 thousand hairs on their head and sheds 100 hairs per day, we can consider this normal. But for a person who has experienced hair loss until the age of 30 and has lost a certain amount of hair, is 100 hairs a day still normal? For example, I don't think I have as much hair on my head as everyone else. I am 33 years old and the volume of my hair has decreased until this age. Let's say I have 50 thousand hairs on my head, is my normal still 100 hairs or half of them?
Is it also an option to start with FUE and do a strip surgery later down line to achieve maximum grafts if needed?
I will address this in a future video!
The only issue I have with the hair transplant, is that not everyone has 10k US dollars or more to spend on that. Especially with it not being a 100 percent guaranteed return.
Do a test area with a few hundred grafts, wait a year how it looks, then commit fully with the same procedure/doctor.
is that even possible? how much would a few hundred grafts be and would they have to shave you@@SandraWantsCoke
10k ain't bad with Payments
U better go to turkey for $3k
@@TheeBeardedGuy I’d love to know where that number is coming from, because if you look up flights to Turkey even months out it’s 1200 US dollars .
Any long term side effects?
you have a beautiful hairstyle
Does anyone know where i can find his dr? Amazing work!!
Could you do a video or comment here on the pros and cons of FUT vs FUE? I'm 45 with a receding hairline but it's not quite as advanced as yours was prior to your surgery. I'm think FUE might suit me better.
Coming right up! Sure
@@DrParissis Great! I'm enjoying the channel. Keep the content coming!
I’m going through thinning my self and it’s bothering me
At what age did you undergo the transplant?
Bro i have the same hairloss as yours 😂 and exactly the spots,iam overwhelmed
What about exosomes?,? Have you investigated anything about this id love to find out more about this x
In our country we use minoxidin is it safe
Lost hair on my head in massive clumps and on the sides and mine was a severe telogen shed
wow gorgeous 6 month result
Hi! how old was you when you get your hair transplant?
Hey man, cool video. I was thinking of having an FUT procedure as well instead of FUE. I was told FUT has a higher chance of being successful and having that strong healthy restored look.
What's your opinion on that ? Would you still pick FUT over FUE today if you were me ? (I'm in the same position as you, need to fill my temples mostly)
The research evidence for growth yield differences between the two is mixed - although FUT does slightly edge FUE out. However, in our practice we note much better growth yield with FUT in the AVERAGE patient that comes in (ie of the patients that get FUT, more of them have good growth compared to that of FUE) - however note that this is just my anecdotal opinion (the lowest form of evidence). We are working to add to the research in the future by doing some side by side studies.
The biggest argument for FUT over FUE is currently the fact that you get more grafts using FUT first over FUE - specially the average patients gets about 3,000 more grafts over lifetime - enough to solidify half of the top of the scalp!
I switched from finasteride and rogaine to onion juice and saw palmetto and the results have been absolutely staggering. The transition was absolutely seamless and my results have actually been better. 3 months ago I added rosemary oil to my routine and it only enhanced my results
Saw Palmetto capsule? Do you use fresh ground onion juice?
Ok, a summery:
- You experienced _agressive_ hairloss and at a _young age and_ have a mostly bald father
- Your hair loss is apparentely so agressive that even with finasteride AND rogaine, your hair loss _still_ clearly progresses extensily, yet at a slower rate
- You use words like 'I wanted a pernament solution" and 'a solution so I was not bald for the rest of my life' when you speak about a hair transplant when relatively young, yet you seem to have all the odds against you (apart from having thick hair). So your solution that you now have is not likely pernament at all. It's a solution that might _feel_ pernament now, but it not reasonably seem a pernament solution at all as hair loss typically does not randomly just stop? Sure, you can take another hair transplant. But reasonably, you will likely run out of donor hair, as it's quite hard to cover up your head when you only have the original sides left. ALso it's not optimal to shave it off either, since you have a scar. I do not want to be the person to make you feel bad, but the way you speak about the matter seemy very naive, like you're not understanding the big picture. Just because have a good hair transplant doctor, does not mean he can magically increase your amount of donor hair you have, as the amount of hair on the sides is a finite resource. Only if you know you have both thicker and more hairs than average, then I understand your almost naive seeming optimism.
However, maybe I am missing something here and in that case you can ignore my comment of course..
If we're gonna talk about the "big picture" as you say, then timelines are also important.
By the time what you describe comes to pass, it's very unlikely that tools like verteporfin won't be involved. The way things are looking right now, it wouldn't surprise me if verteprofin turns out to be useful without hair transplantation.
Also, even putting hair transplantation aside, finasteride + rogaine is absolutely not the ultimate hair loss stack so even on the medication side, he's far... FAR from having exhausted his options
@@maloxi1472 We _do not know_ that anything like that will even come out and even work on humans as intended and without too many side effects. So it _might_ solve his future problems and it _might not_ and should thus not be treated as uncertainly, because we objectively know for sure it's really not a certainty.
Also, if he is 'far from "exhausting" his options, then I am curious what you think his options are in your idea that he has not tried yet.
He has tried Fin, Min and hair transplants and he has rather poor results with trying _both_ Fin with 2 of them.
If you think he is "FAR from having exhausted his options", then I kindly ask you to mention this list his other options . As you mentioned he is _FAR exhausting his options_ with capital letters, it does suggest this will be quite a big list
Yup. This doctor will be allways in a rabbit hole
@@emilianomederos I'm not sure what you mean by that?
@@maloxi1472 If you have the impression as you phrase is that he is "FAR from having exhausted his options" I would be curious what these options are according to you? What would they be?
Why not considering dutasteride if you are happy with finasteride
I am 21 and i lost 80% of hair. Is it alopicia or something different
How old were you when you had the transplant?
Do you have a clinic in London for transplants or just New York?
Hello, clinic in London is coming soon! Currently working with Dr Bloxham in New York.
do you take finasteride or minoxidil?
Finasteride
Greetings Dr. Parissis,
If you don’t mind me asking because I’m interested in studying medicine,
Did your educational background help you in someway throughout your procedure? Thanks!
3:25 now hear me out. My father is 65 and has great hair still. Though I can see some bald spot and thinning. But still not that noticeable.And here am just 23 & my hair condition is already worse than his. I never expected this to me. Am such an unlucky person 😢. (& the most concerning part is I haven’t found my soulmate yet) am going crazy.
Hey man. I am same age (year younger actually) and in the same situation, I also never had gf and consider myself unlucky and I am also scared (this is the most calm I've been in last 3 months). I just wanna say that we need to have some hope. For now lets enjoy what's left and save up some money for hair transplant. Lets be strong for at least a year or two. And if we fail lets help our surroundings but until that we hold our heads high. I am exhausted because of it but we have to make it through. I wish us both full head of hair and may god be on our side.
Might update every next month
one of the most bizarre things in life (mostly for men) = hair loss....it really sux :)
Did you shave for your surgery?
Dr.Parissis what is your thoughts on GT0029 and topical anti androgens? would you use them once they become FDA approved?
I will cover this in a future video. Thanks!
1. I wanted a permanent solution and wanted to get rid of the side effects of finasteride .
2. I’m still taking finasteride 🤔🤦🏻♂️
How old are you now? Have you considered taking dutasteride to prevent further hair loss?
Dutasteride is fda approved ?
@@espada9novenoFor BPH, yes. But doctors prescribe it for hairloss all the time.
No@@espada9noveno
@@espada9noveno Not FDA approved, but approved by Japan and South Korea
How much was the process?
I am using finestried last 9 month I thik its work on me 😊and no side effect it’s ur mind
What’s strip surgery? Are the donor grafts going to grow back in the back of your head?
Strip surgery is removal of a strip of skin with hair grafts in it - and then removing the grafts and implanting them into the desired region!
How much do 2000 grafts cost?
How expensive is it?
Nice! But do you still need to be on medication, even after Hair Transplant? If yes which one?
Yes, to prevent further loss. Finasteride for myself.
I use minoxidil for 6 months after that 😅things started to get worst .
What's the price why u leave that out
What worked for me was onion juice, well consistensy is the key...washing my hair everyday wasn't an option as I have 2c hair and it's pretty dry so it didn't work when i used it on my wash days only...then I tried something different...appling onion juice with aloe juice on my scalp with adding few drops of lemongrass:(to mask the smell), rosemary essential oil and castor oil (only3drops) and didn't wash off. I did it at every 2 days interval, now I do every other day and trust me it really works. I have a lot of baby hairs, you just have to be consistent and patient
For me castor oil stopped hairs falling out after like 2 months
Idk bro minoxidil grew my hair back in 6 months but yeah I was doubling the dosage 2ml 2x a day to cover more areas no side effects now just using it daily just as I would brush my teeth daily also mix it with rosemary oil 2x daily while taking DHT pills with biotin daily
So finnasteride?
@@samuelpaz3218 nope just minoxidil and rosemary oil with dht pills
Why didnt he show us the scar?
Is finastride safe for whole life,?
No talk of rosemary oil, cloves or Moringa? Unbelievable!
Doctor, did you experience side effects when you were on finasteride?
Hello, yes. Video upcoming about this!
@DrParissis so you no longer take fin?
Were you on a standard 1mg/day dose of finasteride?
Yes sir
what would you consider the minimum affective dose of finasteride ?
'
It depends. Some people could get away with doses as low as 0.05mg, and others will need to take much more. It’s very individual
I’m trying 0.25 twice a week, maybe go up to 0.5 a week which I’ve read can be quite effective if you don’t have aggressive loss
@@52yamahar1 Finasteride has a half life of 5-6 hours in your blood before it gets excreted. Taking it any other way than daily is counterproductive. The studies clearly suggest 1mg is optimal.
but ,doesn't hair transplant last forever?
Hi dr, how old you are?
Actually he lie because 2018 I got fue hair transplant!and several years after my hair shedding and thinning but ı started micro nidle and minoxidil and almost all my hairs come back and thicker
How many days you get your fut stitches removed?
After 10-14 is recommended!
Why blank out your face on previous hair loss pics ?
2,300 grafts is not a lot ?
Sounds like a lot to me .
im still losing hair on dutasteride :(
Unfortunately these treatments don’t work for everyone
My father isnt bald and im still losing my hair dont think just because your dad isn’t bald it wont happen to you
Why is your face obscured in the “after” photos?
Ps no surgeries! Nature provides!! Hair loss is an external symptom of an internal issue( usually a set of different things)
You're not learning, you're just covering up
have you had any side effects on fin?
I didn’t have any on Finasteride - but I did on Dutasteride unfortunately.
One thing to note is when you start minoxidil or finasteride...you're scalp will react and you'll lose hairs due to androgenic response to something new. Notice how he said it got worse after he started either of these. Tyat happens then it'll start growing back
I’ve started finasteride 3 months ago and I’m still shedding a lot, does it mean it will grow back thicker and healthier?
@@annexgaming1856yes
@annexgaming1856 Yes, the hairs that were already experiencing difuse thinning will shed..and that's a good response that you're hairs had been affected by the DHT...the sensitivity will be indication that the finasteride or minoxidil will work. After shedding phase. The hair follicles will grow in cycles getting thicker over time. Might take a year or two before you see full results. Also add ketoconazole shampoo once a week. If you use minoxidil and you dont think it's affective, add micro needling on the scalp once a week. This will make you go from a nonresponder to a responder to affects of minoxidil to thickening of the difused hair.
@annexgaming1856 one thing the finasteride will do is reduce the 5 alpha reductase that in turn will reduce about 70% of the DHT. This will now reduce the sensitivity your hair follicles were experiencing. So no more thinning and you'll retain what you have. Addressing the hairs that have already thinned out will be a bigger challenge depending on how far gone thinning had gone before you started treatment. The minoxidil will only assist with thickening what it can by promoting bigger blood vessels that will inhibit more circulation yo repair and fix what is still manageable. This is why it's important to start treatment early before it gets too far gone to the point you can't fix or mainten without a transplant ..and even then you still have to be on this same regimen to keep those new hairs.
do u still take finasteride i couldnt hear probably?
Yes I do!
Ah but yiu had side effects?@@DrParissis
@@lt7099The occurrence of side effects is only a 2% chance
The most important thing is to not stress and be mindful while taking it. Most of the side effects come from placebo, meaning your mind will play tricks on you if you worry too much!
Any one can tell me the best solution
I stil try oil treatment only.but no results .
I m 34
Have a blood test to rule out anything other than alopecia. If the blood test comes clear, see a dermatologist to confirm you suffer from alopecia. Oral finasteride and topical Minoxidil is what you will most likely be recommended
"Going up the treatment ladder" is a myth that needs to be busted when it comes to hair loss and I wish you had put more emphasis on that point. Oils and diet changes won't do anything for androgenic alopecia, even topical Minoxidil on its own will only mask the problem at best. You need to get on oral or topical Finasteride the moment you notice hair loss and even more so if its aggressive.
Studies have been conducted which indicated that the use of supplements like saw palmetto stabilized hair loss in 30-50% of men for at least 6 months.
@@sapujapu6323 Well things like Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin Seed Oil are AR-5 inhibitors anyway, so you might as well just use a proper medical therapy to begin with and not risk 6 months or more of lost ground because you were in the 50-70% of non-responders (assuming the studies you refer to are actually good quality). People can also start with topicals to reduce their risk of sides if that is a concern. The "treatment ladder" should really be inverted for hair loss because all the time you spend trying other approaches you are potentially losing ground that could be the difference between needing a transplant or not, especially if it's aggressive loss.
I`m not an expert...but ins`t this a bit outdated because of the results you can archieve by minox, topical finasteride and eventually Tretinoin as an Minox enhancer? No? Just saw videos with some amazing results...and there seem to be studys backing that up....but maybe some people prefer the transplant? That`s whats going through my mind right now....not meant to be criticism....
He said finasteride and minoxidil did nothing to him.
so you keep to take finasteride ?
Have you watch the vid? He literally said that he does keep taking fin.
I would still use rosemary every day. It takes about 6 months to kick in but it does work

I’m taking finastride 1 mg every other day is that ok?
You won’t have as much blockage as every day, but if that’s the amount that you don’t get side effects from, then there’s no safety risks of taking 1mg every other day.
@@DrParissis Ty for reply , but is it a big difference in efficiency as the 1mg daily??
@@jojobrooklyn5285 No problem. So according to the dose curve, on the day you take it you block 66% of DHT on the day you don’t that dose from the day before blocks 48% of DHT. Long term you’re probably blocking about 57% of DHT instead of 66% - not much of a difference. But then again if you are super sensitive to DHT, it could make the difference.
@@DrParissis Ty so much, for first time user would you still recommend 0.5 every other day or the 1 mg every other day ? Is there a big difference also??, thank you In advance, love your channel
@@jojobrooklyn5285 starting off on a lower dose is always best and building it up . But for long term prevention , depending on your degree of hair loss, 0.5mg every other day may not decrease DHT levels enough.
