Dr. Bernstein in NY Japion's Series on Balding

Hair Transplant ExamHideo Nakamura's Study of Balding

NY Japion is a weekly newspaper in the Japanese language, published in the New York tri-state area.  The publication is for free for the Japanese community.

New York dermatologist and authority on hair transplants, Robert M. Bernstein, MD, was featured in their weekly series that focuses on hair loss in men and women.  In the series, TV producer, Hideo Nakamura, who is bald himself, goes on a mission on behalf of fellow bald men. His column hopes to help others with hair loss to have a more fulfilled, fun life and to raise their self-esteem.

Nakamura interviewed, Dr. Bernstein for this weekly series that began in October, 2006. In issues No. 1 and 2, Dr. Bernstein explained the basic mechanism of balding for both men and women which are quite different in its causes, balding types, and progression of hair loss. The NY Japion's readers were all very surprised by the fact that balding for men is actually related to genes on both the mother's side as well as the father's side of the family.  Dr. Bernstein also shared his unique theory of why Japan's Samurai had the uniformed bald look.

The column discussed post-op care after hair restoration surgery and explained the drug Propecia, a men's oral hair growth treatment, minoxidil and some cosmetic hair products.
                            
Reporter Nakamura was also examined by Dr. Bernstein and with the patient's permission was allowed to observe a hair transplant surgery. Issues No. 3, 4, 5 are about the surgical hair restoration procedure known as Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT), a method that Dr. Bernstein helped to pioneer. By using the patient's own hair, FUT can give totally natural looking results.  The patient's own hair starts growing where there was no hair before.
