Preventing Shock Hair Loss After Hair Transplant
May 22nd, 2012

Q: Can shock loss be eliminated by using special surgical techniques?

A: Although there have been no scientific studies proving this, shock hair loss can most likely be minimized by keeping the recipient sites parallel to the hair follicles, by not creating a transplanted density too great in areas of existing hair, and by using minimal epinephrine (adrenaline) in the anesthetic. We implement all of these techniques. Finasteride may also decrease shock hair loss, or at least help any (miniaturized) hair that is lost to re-grow. That said, some shock hair loss from a hair transplant is unavoidable regardless of the technique as it is a normal physiologic response to stress.

What Is The Most Important Thing To Know After A Hair Transplant?
May 9th, 2012


*Video:what is the most important thing to know after a hair transplant?

Dr. Bernstein answers a common question about the most important thing for a patient to know after a hair transplant?

Here is a partial transcript of the video:

The most important thing to know after a hair transplant is that it takes a while for the hair to grow in. No matter how much we tell patients that it takes 10 weeks, 3 months, for the hair to start growing in once people have the procedure, they’re excited because they see that stubble of hair right after the surgery and they think it’s going to continue to grow. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t. That hair is shed. And then about 10 weeks to three months later the hair starts to grow in, and it grows in very gradually.
