This patient came to our office a year ago showing a Norwood lesson 3 sample of hair loss. Dr Pak prescribed Propecia to that young man and after a year of taking it every day, the patient returned to our office to show off his results. He had no hair transplant surgery. The results shown (in the photo on the right) are strictly from a daily Propecia pill.

Snippet from the editorial:
It’s a head of hair that a man 20 years his junior would envy — a chestnut helmet that brazenly mocks Father duration and screams “healthy!”
Gov. Blagojevich’s glossy locks — perfectly sculpted in rain or snow — may be an indication of a sickness beneath his scalp, said one local psychologist.

Dear Dr. I had hair transplant back in November 3, 2008. When I gently place my hand on the transplanted area I can feel the “bed of thorns” or “sprouting new hairs”. My concern is are they really new hairs or is it the grafted hair waiting to fall out. I have been taking finasteride religiously for increasingly than two years and still continue to be on it. Does that propose that grafted hair may not fall out and continue to grow right absent, since it is by 45 days from surgery and … [visit site to read more]

Most men who have had hair transplants show shorter hairstyles. Can transplanted hair even grown lengthy (12 inches)? whether so, what would it look like?
Many of my patients with comb-backs, allow their transplanted hair to grow to lengths of 9+ inches routinely. From there it is up to you and the barber to decide what you want for the length of the hair. It is purely a styling decision.

Winter winds and cold temperatures can leave skin screaming for help that season. Moisturizers can help solve the problem, but 71 percent of dermatologists believe a healthy diet, vitamins and other supplements, and regular exercise accompanied by other smart lifestyle choices are just as fundamental for healthy skin, according to new research from the 2008 “Life…supplemented” Healthcare Professionals (HCP) affect Study. The study shows two thirds of dermatologists recommend dietary supplements to their patients and the top reason is for healthy skin, hair and nails.
“Many women tend to think short-term and focus solely on the topical approach to healthy skin,” says Jeannette Graf, M.D., a main skin science expert and advisor to the “Life…supplemented” campaign. “Lotions and creams are fundamental, but it is even increasingly urgent to take care of your skin from the inside out. whether you’re healthy, your skin will show it — and the best way to stay healthy is to engage in smart lifestyle choices. Start with a healthy diet and supplement with vitamins and regular exercise.”
For example, vitamins A, C and E are key to combating natural aging, and a deficiency in convinced Omega-3 fatty acids can often lead to dry and itchy skin. While moisturizers can help, a healthy diet supplemented by appropriate vitamins, minerals and other supplements is part of a long-term effective solution. In fact, 62 percent of dermatologists believe there are gaps in their patients’ diets that could be effectively addressed with dietary supplements.
If all that data sounds confusing, don’t be afraid to ask a doctor for guidance. Sixty-one percent of dermatologists agree one of their roles as a healthcare professional is to supply info to patients on dietary supplements, and the ones they’re most often asked about include vitamin E (45 percent), vitamin D (42 percent), Omega-3 / Fish Oil (41 percent), multivitamins (36 percent) and vitamin C (30 percent). A good way to start the conversation is to visit www.lifesupplemented.org and take My Wellness Scorecard, a free wellness assessment tool that helps consumers identify realistic steps toward better health. Bring the results to the doctor in order to develop a personalized wellness regimen that includes dietary supplements as needed.
And while a well-balanced wellness regimen that includes a healthy diet, vitamins and regular exercise is the foundation for long-term skin health, there are other steps you can take to winterize your skin that season: 1) Shield yourself with an SPF 15 lotion or higher. Just considering you aren’t spending as much day outdoors doesn’t mean you’re safe from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. 2) Wash skin gently. Use warm water and avoid expanded, hot showers; strong soaps and irritating additives in skin creams. 3) Moisturize regularly to replace moisture lost through the winter elements and to add valuable nutrients to your skin. 4) whether you smoke, quit. It accelerates the aging of skin.
Methodology: Results from the 2008 “Life…supplemented” HCP affect Study went public in November 2008 and comprise three separate surveys – 300 cardiologists, 300 dermatologists and 300 orthopaedic specialists. Margins of sampling error at a 95 percent confidence level are ±5.7 percentage points for each of the specialty groups of healthcare professionals surveyed (dermatologists, cardiologists and orthopaedic specialists). A nominal honorarium was given to each healthcare professional completing the survey. Ipsos Public-Affairs conducted the survey online. The first “Life…supplemented” HCP affect Study of primary care physicians, OB/GYNs and nurses was conducted online in November 2007.
About the “Life…supplemented” HCP affect Study: The study is part of the “Life…supplemented” consumer wellness campaign, which is committed to driving awareness about the mainstream use of dietary supplements as an integral part of a proactive personal wellness regimen that combines healthy diet, supplements and exercise. The study evaluates the personal attitudes and use of dietary supplements by healthcare professionals and whether their attitudes toward supplements affect their clinical behavior and recommendations to patients. The “Life…supplemented” campaign is managed by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the main trade organization for the dietary supplement industry. For increasingly data: www.lifesupplemented.org.

For years the cosmetics community has striven to produce the next great product in skin care that can regenerate the youth of our skin. In recent years, many treatments and topical applications and anti-wrinkle creams have been procured that fight the signs of aging by eliminating the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles in our skin.
One of the increasingly recent, and amongst the most popular, of such age-defying treatments is the lauded Botox injections. These painful and intrusive injections have shown dramatic results with regards to increasing firmness in the skin and in removing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as other medical benefits that Botox has to offer.
However, amid a recent FDA (Food and Drug Administration) warning, which was released in February of 2008, with regards to the popular Botox injections, there are newer, far increasingly dangerous side effects that join the list of the many known side effects that can be caused by using injections like Botox.
Of the increasingly common side effects that are already known, such as the loss of facial expressiveness, and the numbing or losing of feeling in the muscles of areas approach to where injections have been administered, other increasingly severe and sometimes fatal side effects, such as respiratory failure and death, have been warned about by the FDA in their recent report. And the amount or frequency of the dosage, as well as the manner in which it has been used are irrelevant; the warning includes a wide variety of dosage levels that can be administered to treat a range of conditions, all which are subject to the same potentially fatal side effects.
“As increasingly citizens become aware of the inherent risks that can be associated with using an injected treatment to treat their skin, like Botox, many are opting to go with safer, anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin,” states Lisa Goodwill, spokesperson for Dermagevity Skin Care–one of the main cosmeceutical companies. “The sales of our anti-wrinkle cream, Skinlastin, have recently soared since the FDA report was released in February (2008) and have continued to dramatically rise since that instance, considering citizens just are not willing to take their own wellbeing in-hand when it comes to making their skin look and feel better.”
Considering all of the benefits that can be experienced when using injected treatments, like Botox, and when comparing the pros of such treatments to the known adverse side effects, it is no wonder why companies like Dermagevity are experiencing such a climb in sales of anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin.
“Unlike injections, which can be both painful and intrusive, and can cause a multitude of undesirable side effects,” states Goodwill, “Skinlastin has no known side effects.” “It works immediately to increase firmness in the skin, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, and remove the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin by using all-natural and clinically-proven ingredients.”
Skinlastin incorporates a proprietary blend of patented, scientifically and clinically-proven, age-defying ingredients to supply safe, natural and speedily results for the consumer. And when comparing the costs of maintaining such cosmetic appearances, anti-wrinkle creams like Skinlastin cost far less than injected treatments, and are safer to use.

People are willing to try just about anything to get back their preceding hairlines but as duration catches up with you, hair loss is programmed into our genes. These websites are as varied as the types of treatments they propose; from drugs taken internally, applied to the scalp and increasingly recently hair growth stimulating lasers that claim to stimulate the regrowth of hair by energizing the dormant hair follicles ample to get them back to making healthy hair. The claims may be the solution to the hair loss problem being faced by millions worldwide, one problem though, it hasn’t been approved by the US FDA. The system might work but having a laser that has the ability to modify or induce cell growth is a dangerous prospect for without faraway term examining another fad may send millions into hospitals with side-effects other than having that perfect crown of hair.
