Thanks for the analysis! I always learn a thing or two. Will definitely get some oral minox to try :)

Just stopped by to say you’re so cool Doc! Extremely informative and analytical, great guy!

This is an excellent and comprehensive overview of an articulate and informative case study patient (Brett). Thanks to Gary and to Brett. Almost like you were talking together even though Gary was reacting to Brett's video. So well done.

Wow... his procedure looks really good. Happy for him!

This doctor can pull of a bald head so well! Love watching his videos, explains things so easily.

another densely-packed hairline transformation. Lovely results, to be sure. But otherwise, he has full coverage. I understand everyone has different experiences and anxieties about one's own appearance, but I--and I think many others that are diffuse thinners--would like to see some results, too. I appreciate your channel, though, Doc! Keep it up

I switched from Finasteride to Dutasteride. After 2 months I noticed greater hair velllus hair growth. The vellus hairs have lenghtened considerably. Very pleased so far. Microneedling has helped with thickness combined with Foam Minoxidil.

Dr Gary I love your videos! I could listen to you all day. I am 1 year into my hair transplant. Norwood 6 and had 6000 graphs with amazing results. I'm using minoxidil and taking finasteride without any side effects. I also have PRF treatment every 3 or 4 months 🙂

You are so relaxing to hear. It’s like someone is singing a lullaby to me

I just love your bald head. You look insanely attractive and I can’t even imagine you with hair even though my imagination’s wild. You stand out among others and look good from even those who have hair so…yeah since we’re on the hair transplant topic I suddenly realised this ♥️

I almost did a spit take when Dr. Gary said "I remember this". Dude is low key funny.

To lessen the effects of post finasteride syndrome, you need to reduce dosage amounts gradually. This allows for the body's natural hormonal balance to slowly adjust to proper levels. I found that reducing from 1mg to .5 mg per day allowed me to keep the side affects down to a minimum, and reduce dht to levels which are still beneficial to hair growth.

What a great doctor you are. The way you talk and explain things is amazing and makes anyone easy to remember all those valuable information. Greetings from Iraq Mo

We need to talk about how great Gary's eyebrows and mustache looks on him!!! keep it up!!

I don’t care if the dr doesn’t have hair. He is the most handsome man ❤

Another difference between oral and topical finasteride and minoxidil is that oral administration has to be metabolized by your liver to get to your bloodstream. If you don't want to stress your liver for the rest of your life, I'd lean towards topicals.

When it comes to "I've seen so many people online complain about X", I think it's important to realize that people are going to tend to want to vent about negative experiences online, whereas people having positive experiences are more likely to just go about their day. The result is the impression that *everyone* is having a bad experience with X.

Thank goodness for kitteh and abandoned pet rescue and helping injured wildlife. And for my ability to comfort lonely sick and elderly people and for things like seeing the impact covering graffiti has in nyc neighborhoods and all the various things I have found that are not about me me me and that give me a sense of meaning and value. I am so lucky that the flaws of my appearance don’t hurt me. And that the appearance of others means zero to me in my connection to or value of or reaction to them. I wonder if plastic surgeons get tired of it. I can see how fulfilling it would be to help people with disfigurement. But the vanity would get me down I think

You’re not concerned about long-term heart damage from oral minoxidil?

Dr. Gary does hair transplant surgery and yet IS bald.. what a baller move.

I've been on Propecia for 12 years never had one problem when they talk about the sexual side effects it's only 2% and then it goes down to 1% after 3 months chances are you're going to be fine and you'll have a full head of hair

Doc, you look best without hair and eyebrows,just a unique look.Not many people have that.Suits you perfectly.

I'm at the 7 month mark. 5,000 grafts FUE with most going at front of scalp. Overall pretty good, have a lot more hair but I'm hoping for more thickness in the front and all over my head. In high contrast lighting I can still see my scalp when I look in the mirror or bend down and look at my scalp. I have a good attitude about it no matter the final outcome because I'm confident that it will be an improvement. Just turned 50 and not trying to be 30 again. ---- I would consider slightly more grafts at the year plus mark to increase density depending on the cost. But I'm hopeful the density will increase naturally on its own over the next 5 to 6 months!

I lead others to a treasure I cannot possess

oral minoxidil can be bad for your heart and u dont need to use the topical twice a day, once is enough

Awesome doc Gary

its way to dense compared to his sides

Your so respectful and lovley

loving your cute eyebrows!

why have i watched so many of these videos when i'm literally not even balding

12:00 finasteride 16:10 topical

Great video as always

Doctor 🖐️ could you please make a video of YOUR ACTUAL PATIENTS using dutasteride for one or two years. Thanks, keep it up 🤘😇

What a fabulous result. But it’s not easy.

Hi Dr. Gary! Just started following your channel recently. I love the in depth walk through videos you are putting out. I am doing some research on hair transplants (as I am considering one in the future) and came across something referred to as Sapphire FUE. Which apparently is where they use blades made from gemstones instead of regular steel blades. They claim it reduces the risk of complications such as trauma and scalp tissue damage, that tissue recovery will be quicker and that you may achieve a higher density than with steel blades. Is this something you have any experience with or can weigh in on?

Correct needle with a loop to put hair follicle are on the net.Not very expensive .Millions have made their needles . Aquapuncture needles ,tamper the needles to make a loop .Baldness goes as soon as you pluck your hair follicle,put them in the needle.Magazines have this article

Thank you for the video Dr. yeah, so I had my first hair transplant at the same clinic in Istanbul in Sep 2021 and I am really satisfied with the results I also had my second hair transplant in my crown area in Nov last year at another well know clinic in Istanbul.

I'm not willing to take anything that could cause problems with my Middle leg. So I guess I'll have to go bald sadfully. I wish mens wigs would be better in this day and age.

Why does hair loss progression slow down in the 40s? Lower testosterone? Does that mean someone could take finasteride from 18-40 then come off it and not experience the hair loss they otherwise would have had from 18-40?

Good new look for the people. Thank you for this informations. It's more valuable for us😍

He looks very good now, hair wise.

Dr Gary you are awesome man keep it up.

A friend of mine had breast cancer & ended up losing her hair due to treatment. When her hair grew back it was curly whereas it wasn't before. I believe that it changed over time at least somewhat.

Suggesting 700 grafts for that tiny strip is crazy considering that would take him to about half of the total donor supply of an average male. Its already a lot of grafts for a small area at a young age. I was advised by a brilliant clinic that I would need about 700/800 for both temples and they were very cautious about using too many grafts early on.

Brad's hair looks great! 👌

he looks great with the new hair!

Can you react to Mike Thurstons hair transplant journey

Everyone goes to Turkey for cosmetic stuff and dental treatment. Obviously it must be cheaper there but why Turkey and not one of the many other cheaper countries?

Great commentary. I've watched plenty of your reaction videos and I feel the hairline looks great but a bit low. He's still very young and hair looked great even before. When I was in my early 40's I started receding but kept a dense forelock; I went to several surgeons here in LA but I was told that I wasn't a candidate for the surgery. Now I'm 53 now and my hair slowly kept receding on the sides and now I have a weak forelock. I've been researching surgeons here in LA but no luck. Only if Dr Linkov had a clinic here in LA area...I would get my surgery with him. Unfortunately, I can't fly out anywhere.

You have a pleasant disposition

Impressive ,wow he should be happy very well done.

Great information thanks

thanks for the video great analysis.

just put all the side hair on top, ppl do shave their sides and keep long hair on top

I have a mammoth forehead (fivehead) and getting hair transplant later this year. It's gotten to the point it's affecting my self-confident and cannot leave my house without some sort of cap or hat or headband.

Thank you for your analysis

This guy should watch this video so he knows more about medical therapy and its real risks

Dr. Gary, could you please make a video on effectiveness of using ketconazole shampoo in battling hair loss? I use minoxidil and finasteride and I think about adding ketoconazole to the mix.

Biggest issue with oral Minoxidil is hair growth all over the body , and I have heard it even interfere with the Heart functioning . Please clarify .

Really loving the video😎👍🏼

I started Dutasteride in 2002, so 21 years on it. Had 3 pauses around 2009-11. Added 2.5mg oral minoxidil 3 years ago

Great analysis as always, Gary. I started finasteride 2.5 years ago at 43 and I'm thankful I did. Should I consider oral minox? I use foam for the day and dropper, more oily at night.

Thank you for showing us the vedio for hair transplant

You're so smart Dr Gary😊

It will be a huge mistake for him not to hop on finasteride or dutasteride. He is still young and his hair line is pretty low. More than that his used quite a bit of his donor area. Now his hair looks amazing but in the future it may and probably will deteriorate a lot.

Dr. Gary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I just turned 41 and for the last 1 1/2 year finastride have lost a significant effect and I am starting to shed a lot more hair. I have uses finastide over 15 years. So for me there is not any signs that the hair loss is slowing down. Quite the opposite in my case.

Great Video. However, even the guy who got the transplant would one day come to terms with the fact that " Aging is a process and we ought to embrace it". We can surely improve the looks with transplant and it's good if done by a nice surgeon, but a lot comes down to mother nature.

Post FUE can you use Red Light Therapy? Can Apple Stem cell Serum replace oral prescriptions such as Act+Acre Cold Processed Apple Stem Cell Scalp Serum?

When should the patient start with the oral minoxidil after the transplant?

Hi Dr, great vid as always! you mention your patients now take oral minoxidil 1x a day. Do you think 1x a day is better at growing hair as opposed to splitting the dose into 2x daily?

So I am on medical therapy and I love how it’s improved my hair quite nicely. I had been considering it for a couple of years and then my hair loss sped up dramatically, so I got on it and it made the hair come back. I love it! Anyway, I’ve been on oral finasteride and topical minoxidil for just over a year and I’m switching over to oral minoxidil. The one thing I’m not clear on is what the dosage should be for the oral minoxidil. Is it just 1 mg same as the finasteride? My doctor wasn’t terribly clear about that

this doc looking like a chad with a tan

Hello Dr. Gary. Much respect and admiration. ▪︎ I think you mentioned that oral Minoxidil can help facial hair. ▪︎ If you can, please elaborate on how Minoxidil, either oral or topical can improve beard hair growth - particularly on the questions of: (i) growing facial hair in places where there is no beard hair at all, and (ii) thickening beard hair. (iii) I'd also be interested to hear about other therapies for men's facial hair. Thank you, Dr. Gary.

Doc has no hair at all and doesn’t complain 😊

I'm 59 and have taken Finasteride for 13 years with zero side effects. Wondering if you ever start the medication?

Great work Dr Gary, when would you say that product can be used in the hair, hairspray, wax etc?

Is the hairline supposed to look like that? It looks kind of weird and unnatural to me upclose but maybe its the video. Not the shape but the variation in thickness and sparsity. Also there's a red line that goes along it for some reason?

Wow, thats a remarkable transformation.

I agree he was told the wrong information about the hair they put in. Some of it will fall out. I had an old school transplant in the 80’s and 90 percent of the hair fell out. The doctor took hair from an area that was in a safe area. The hair fell out 25 years later. So yes not all transplanted hair is permanent. I am living proof. I feel his hairline is too low. How old is this man? How much will he lose in 30 years? I feel his hair might look awkward with too many grafts in his front area. I feel he will need more procedures as he ages so he and his doctor need to discuss if he will have enough donor supply. I wish they had the better techniques and medicine back in the old days. I highly do not recommend hair transplants for anyone in their 20’s. Starting at the age of around 30 a doctor can get a general idea of the pattern of your hair loss.

Hi Doctor, have you touched on Finasteride immunity? one of our aussie hair experts says that finasteride effectiveness becomes reduced every year. So far theres not much research but by year5 the effectiveness is reduced by 30% or something. The doctor also mentioned that Finasteride is effective in your system for up to 1month so theres no real need to take a daily dose.

These results are only in turkey ! We need this in the USA .

Idk if it’s just me but this man is handsome as hell 😅

Such a great video.

im balding since im in college and i really really looked forward to get a hairtransplant until i read that if you get a hairtransplant you have to, no like you are almost force to take finasteride if you dont want to loose you hair again. like do i really have to take finasteride wouldnt minoxidil be enough? the side effects of fin really cooled off my hopes of getting a hairtransplant or was it just gibberish ? really hope you answer to my questions ✌

I had a bump removed on my forehead and I think the clown cut a little deep and damaged the supraorbital nerve and that actually made a small region of hair above it come out curly for some months. Maybe there is some complex communication going on. I had 3 fairly large bumps (from golf cap sweat bacteria I believe) removed and it fairly quickly became impossible to see that it was ever cut. Aside from the nerve damage it was quite good.

Why would you even do this. Dude went from the normal hairline of a 24 year old to the hairline of a 13 year old. Big deal.

it looks good but he wasn't really balding that bad to begin with

Hi Dr. Linkov, Great Videos ! How much do you charge for 2400 follicles? And do you have any good before and after pictures?

2400 grafts for a part that small. Undeniably, Brett's hair currently looks stunning, but what if his crown and other areas start thinning and falling out as well? The donor area has about 6-7k follicles that can be extracted until it becomes noticable. So are those 3 or 4k follicles still enough for transplanting to the rest of his head? Great video, doc!

hey people, I did a hair transplant on October. FUE of 2,000 to the front of my head and today 7 months later I feel really really modest results... The doctor told me that a second transplant would be needed anyway to cover the back as well but I feel like the difference is no negligible that I might just give up on it... What are the common reasons for a "not really noticeable results" from a hair transplant? And to clarify I took a world renown surgeon in the USA for tons of money so I assume its not the surgeons fault.

Hi Gary. Thanks for all the videos. How long would you recommend to be on medical therapy prior to getting a hair transplant?

Was wondering about your opinion on an interesting n unusual combination of DHI pen, but with the channel opening. The advantage is that a doctor (not technician) do the opening the channels (Dr Serkan does nothing, anyone can do the drawing). It's a clever idea bc the clinic can be,, cheaper,, compared to the ones in which a doctor does most of it, but still it's as if a doctor did everything as putting the hair in once the opening was done by the DHI pen is not that difficult for experienced technicians. They do it in Thailand n the results looks stunning. In my opinion they do the most natural hairline I've ever seen, bc micro macro irregularities are done so perfectly. I can DM the clinic, I was told: ,, The DHI is modified so that we can work faster. The implanter pen we use is blunt tip. So that we can use nurses to do the job on 2 sides at the same time. The nurse will only have to put the hair back into the holes that the doctor made. The direction, angle and density will be just like how doctor designed during the premade incision step. We will still get other benefits from the implanter pens like the protection of the hair follicles etc.,

I think it looks weird but it’s better than where he started

Yes my dic did some research and found that the .5 was the one for me. Btw the pyrilutamide is working well as well. I have noticed a marked increase in density and hair diameter.

Thanks for the video, I also successfully cure baldness after hair transplant

It's funny - I've been on Finasteride for a little over a year (14 months) and have no sides. When I started to use it - my sex drive/horniness did shoot up. On the other hand - I've had to stop using Minoxidil because of side effects (twice now) - headaches, pressure between my nose and eyes, and raised resting heart rate - from 48bpm to 65bpm.

Hi Gary, here a suggestion: make a reacting about Frances Cobain, Kurt Cobain's daughter. She changed drastically her appearance

The pattern of grafting showcased here is based on bad assumptions. The hair behind the horseshoe grafts will invaraibly thin and prospectively recede, this client will need to maintain a regimen of 1mg of FIN and 5% Minox and also hope there is enough donor hair for future work on the crown.

such good content.
