Alopecia in WomenI'm heading to Florida today for an unusual hair transplant... we're broadcasting it live at 10:00 EST and 1:00 EST on Friday, November 18. Details below on my second hair transplant with the lovely and talented Dr. Alan Bauman. It will also be broadcast by Hair Guru Spencer Kobren.

The event kicks off at approximately 10:00am EST when Dr. Bauman will harvest individual hair follicles from the back of Nalty’s scalp using the Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, method.  A second broadcast will take place at approximately 1:00pm EST, where he will show how those follicles are carefully implanted into Nalty’s scalp to produce a permanent, natural hairline. The 1:00pm webcast will also include a live ‘call-in’ Q&A segment hosted by best-selling author and The Bald Truth’s radio talk show host, Spencer Kobren.
Bauman and Nalty are anticipating even more response to Friday’s event as consumer interest in hair restoration is higher than ever, and new techniques like NeoGraft FUE, which will be used again for Nalty’s procedure, have made hair transplantation a less invasive and less detectable option for the estimated 100 million American men and women with thinning hair.What is NeoGraft/FUE?FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is an advanced minimally-invasive hair transplant technique which, according to ISHRS statistics, has experienced an exponential increase in volume worldwide over the past several years. FUE eliminates the need for doctors to remove a large strip of skin from the back of the scalp—a procedure known as a linear or strip-harvest—and therefore leaves no linear scar.The FDA-cleared NeoGraft is a dramatic advancement over previous manual FUE methods which were more time consuming and less accurate.  Years ago, Dr. Bauman became the first Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery to routinely use NeoGraft device for mechanical FUE which comprises 90% of all transplants he performs today.“FUE is an extremely effective surgical option for patients that allows for a quicker, more comfortable recovery, less post-op activity restrictions, as well as avoiding the tell-tale linear scar associated with traditional hair transplants,” says Dr. Bauman.  However, patients should keep in mind that a natural FUE hair transplant still requires keen artistry and precision and should be performed by a surgeon with extensive specialized hair transplant training, certifications and experience.Key Benefits of NeoGraft FUE:

Least invasive hair transplant available No ‘tell-tale’ linear scar where the donor hair is harvested Shorter, more comfortable recovery No stitches or staples to be removed Less activity restrictions after surgery Very short haircuts are possible after surgery Transplants more than twice as many hair grafts in a single surgery as the previous manually-performed FUE surgery in the same amount of time

While the benefits of FUE hair transplantation are undeniable, celebrity endorsements help build consumer confidence and awareness.“My celebrity patients are usually reluctant to reveal their hair restoration work,” says Bauman. “However Nalty and Benson are part of a more open generation of celebrities… or weblebrities. Like ABC‘Anchorman’ Jim Abath and NBC Dateline’s ‘Follicle Five,’ they’re helping de-stigmatize hair transplants as a viable hair loss treatment, and help people understand that so much has changed with hair transplantation since the days of old ‘hair plugs’ or ‘strip’ scars.”
“The procedure was pretty much pain free, and it’s actually an engaging process that’s more art than science,” says Nalty. “I love sharing it with my viewers because I feel like Fred Rogers doing a tour of a candy shop.”

Hair loss can be a painful experience for both men and women, but today, scientific advances have made hair loss a treatable condition and hair transplants can now be performed 100% undetectably without the pain, scars and long recovery times that used to be associated with the procedure,” explains Bauman. “I hope viewers can learn from Nalty’s public journey and discover the abundance of resources available from the relatively small number of qualified doctors who specialize in hair loss.”

Here's a recent photo taken by my friend Joe Shields, who took the headshots on my book and consulting site. If you can get past the "weepy puppy" look, you'll see the hairline has visibly improved. The collection of photos from "Hair Insider" are here.

I read a comment on a blog from a jaded patient who claims FUEs have a lower "stick" rate than hair transplanted from a strip of hair (this guy must have a sad story because he occupies a lot of his time with negative comments on this blog, YouTube and forums).

Greg Benson, actor and "Mediocrefilms" and "Mediocrefilms2," got a hair transplant this week from SurgeonofNalts (Dr. Alan Bauman).

Well here's a 5-minute video that takes you through the 7 steps of a simple hair transplantation. Dr. Bauman and I documented the NeoGraft FUE procedure in layman terms... it's on the SurgeonofNalts account, and Greg Benson (Mediocrefilms) is the next candidate for a hair transplant this week.

We discussed this video during tonight's "Bald Truth" show. I hope you find this informative and mildly entertaining. :)

I just finished editing a fun video that explains my procedure in my language, as well as in medical terms. The video -- hosted by me and Dr. Bauman -- is designed to help educate hair-transplant candidates through the various steps of a follicular unit extraction, and show how the NeoGraft left no scaring on the back of my head. Here's a photo of the back of my head 24-hours after surgery, and 2 months later. No incision scar because the hairs were taken from random spots! More importantly, because the donor hairs weren't from a single strip, Dr. Bauman was able to pick various grades of hair to create a forehead that's more natural... as opposed to that Frankenstein look. Which would be cute this weekend, but not beyond that.

I learned today that Bauman uses NeoGraft to, in fact, conceal transplant scars. So if you had a transplant and decide to enhance it... you can use some of your individual grafts to hide the scar. Cool.

Here are a bunch of the videos documenting the journey. Stay tuned for the educational one. Dr. Bauman is sharing that on his YouTube channel....

When you get a normal hair transplant, you have a big ol' scar on the back of my head. Check out this photo of my head the next day. Pretty clean, thanks to FUE (follicular unit extraction) and we did nearly 2,000 grafts.

I never paid much attention to the Dutasteride (Avodart) vs. Finasteride (Propecia) when I worked on Propecia. Avodart isn't approved by the FDA for hairloss treatment. But I do remember the conferences where some physician always seemed to have an agenda to prove Dutasteride was better (I assumed they were part of the Avodart studies, or trying to get selected as paid "thought leaders" by GSK, which markets Avodart).

Turns out there was a study on it, but I don't know much more than I've read here.

Seems .1 mg of dutasteride had similar hair improvement at 24 weeks to finasteride 5 mg. But I'm kinda perplexed as why they didn't use finasteride 1 mg (which is the dosage of Propecia) and why they jacked up the dutasteride in one group to friggin' 2.5 mg, which gave 9 of the poor study participants a lowered libido.

Why study the extreme, when most of the hairloss benefits (and lower side effects) is realized at lower dosages? The incremental benefit in hair growth (or reduced loss) seems to be offset by the side effects... of either drug. So I'm glad I'm taking Propecia not Proscar (5 mg).

That said, it would appear that too much of these medications can drop your libido, which is always something I thought preciously was overstated. But this generally resolves after you stop (and many side effects of pharma drugs resolve after your body adjusts to it).

The thing about sexual side effects is that if you're told you'll get them, your odds of getting them increase significantly. It shows the power of expectations. Remember that, in early clinical trials, Propecia saw one group of men who dropped treatment more often, citing adverse reactions. That group, it turns out, was the one taking the placebo (sugar pill). See the Propecia Q&A for more information. It took me months, but I finally promoted that little-known fact from its hiding-place in the PI (prescribing information) to the Q&A... because I found it charmingly interesting. Of course now I can't find it, but here's the Q&A.

Here's another website (http://famewatcher.com/category/celebrity-hair-transplants) that "outs" some of the celebrities with alleged hair transplants.

Again- tough to tell without seeing a really close before/after picture, and even those can be deceptive. We've all seen old and new photos where our hair looks good and bad... lighting, growth and moisture can alter appearances.

My favorite rumor... Kevin Costner made the director use computer-generated imagery (CGI) to give him a better hairline. Kevin, a hair transplant would have kept Waterworld's budget in a better place.

Well we've started a fad. Seems Italian Prime Minster Silvio Berlusconi has "come out of the closet" with his hair transplant, and has become "the poster boy for male hair transplants and their age-defying benefit." (Source: Financial Times).

This excerpt is interesting. It puts the technology progress in layman terms, and gives you some insight on what guys go through before getting a transplant, which Beacon (see below) calls "no less painful than going to the dentist." I beg to disagree. It's a hell of a lot easier than going to the dentist. For starters, hair-transplant physicians are slightly less socially awkward.

But today’s hair transplant technology is as far removed from yesterday’s as the iPhone is from the clunky 1980s car phone. Brian Beacom, a 53-year-old journalist and author of Diary of a Hair Transplant: A Journalist’s Search for David Cassidy Hair (Phantom), waited more than two decades before going ahead with the procedure, watching the technology develop until it had been perfected. Beacom says: “Going bald really highlights the ageing process. You look 10 years older if you haven’t got hair, and you can look 10 years younger if you have it. Now people react to me differently, especially bald men who don’t know I have had a transplant; they look at me with a certain amount of envy.”

Not familiar with JimmerSD's term "Squirrel bomb"? It's kinda like getting rickrolled I guess.

Here's a couple "after" photos to show my new hair. It's kinda hard to see because they aren't next to "before" photos that match. The first was taken August. 26 and the second on August 30 (my surgery was August 18). Whatya think?

Most people think the hair-transplant procedure results are immediate, but it takes about 6 months to see 50% of the benefit, and a year to see 90% of the benefit. So I'm taking my Propecia and dabbing on my minoxidil (what Bauman calls the "sugar and caffeine).

Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!

Hey, if I'm going to broadcast my hair transplant live, why not the follow-up? In my first real live-broadcast (I've done 800 plus videos online, but the live thing always terrifies me), I conduct a live & public follow-up consult via Stickam with someone from Bauman Medical. And I try to stay focused as I read the myriad of insults so common on Stickam. :)

In an unusual publicity campaign, Bosley is offering free hair transplants to 19 lucky war veterans. Time to lose the buzz cut?

Aztarnet.com reports:

Here's a very fresh article about hair pieces. This isn't an option I'd consider primarily because of an early childhood traumatic experience. I'm at a Saints game in the Superbowl and I'm maybe 10 years old. A guy two rows back has a few too many $2 beers, and topples over and lands practically on my lap. His hair piece came off, and I just stood in shock. I hadn't heard of such a thing, and pretty much resolved that I'd pass... although they're not much more expensive than season tickets anymore.

See IndyStar article about an entrepreneur ("Custom Hair Pieces by Sarah") who has found her niche. Subtitled "Her Business Thrives on the Overhead." Not bad, writer Jenny Elig. And if you had some help on that headline, I think you'd better give them credit.

Hey, Sarah... you need a website. I'll build you one for a hair piece to tide me over until the transplant kicks in!

Here are the first two videos, documenting my hair transplant! Now let's see if we can get a real celebrity to "come out." Don't forget to join me on "The Bald Truth" on Sunday at 8 pm EST.

How many web-savvy physicians do you know? My surgeon, Dr. Alan Bauman, has a YouTube account, a Twitter account, and Blogtv and Stickam accounts. He sends me an FTP file to upload video (almost ready to post first footage of my transplant), and today sends me a batch of photos from the event on Flickr.

Check me out! Note- you don't have to shave your head like I did, but it makes it easier and faster. Given that I was running around getting footage and broadcasting the surgery to hundreds via Stickam and Blogtv, I wanted to ensure the surgery didn't go too long.

Won't see the full benefits until 6-12 months, but already I have a hairline that looks like it's going to resemble my 1996 wedding photo. :)

"It's okay to do something about your hair loss," says Spencer Kobren in this teaser for this Sunday's 8 EST "The Bald Truth" radio and web show. I hope you'll join us, as we discuss my transplant and the odd stigma around getting a transplant or being concerned about hair.

I'm far from a celebrity, but I do play one on YouTube (with nearly 100,000,000 views and 136,000 subscribers).

When you talk among hair-transplant physicians, they won't reveal their celebrity patients. But they know who's had a transplant, and you and I don't. According to this website, they include Kevin Costner, Brendan Fraser, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, and Matthew McConaughey. I'd add Matt Lauer and Mel Gibson to that list. And Tiger Woods is often mentioned.


For goodness sakes, look at these photos and decide for yourself, then join the Hair Loss Help forum and start your own rumors!
