Nanogen ScalprollerThe notion that injuring the scalp can potentially increase the effectiveness of proven topical hair loss treatments has caught the attention of our hair restoration forum community.   The Nanogen Scalproller claims it can help treat thinning hair and improve the effects of any topical treatment for baldness  by slightly wounding the skin with its small titanium needles.   Allegedly, the wounds allow for quick and efficient penetration and absorption of topical hair loss treatments  into the skin.

To discuss the Nanogen Scalproller and its ability in aiding the effectiveness of proven treatments such as Rogaine foam, visit this discussion thread.

This hair loss question was answered by  Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida  who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.   His professional answer is below.

In the past I have been told that  a hair density of 50 grafts per cm2 should not compromise graft survival.   However, I was wondering if transplanting hair at 55 grafts per cm2 or 65 grafts per cm2 would compromise vascularity or hair growth yield?   Are any grafts compromised at all leading up until natural true density?

Dr. CharlesThe answer really depends on what hair transplant clinic/doctor you go to. Some hair restoration physicians  have the capabilities of placing higher numbers of grafts in smaller spaces and still obtaining a high yield percentage. There have been a few recent studies showing very high success in the range of 90-100 FU/cm2.

Here is an example of a common dilemma/question. Would you rather have 60 FU/cm2 and get 50  follicular units  grow or have 45 FU’s/cm and get 43 follicular units to grow. Most would choose the latter based on the percentages of successful hair growth yield. The bottom line is that there are countless variables that go into the equation, and it will always be a hard decision.

Dr. Glenn Charles, D.O.

I am very bald. The crown of my head almost completely bald as is the top of my head. The crazy thing is that I am only 20 years old!

I have looked online and read a few things and have yet to find someone who has had issues with balding that are as worse than or even equal to mine. I was maybe in my second year of highschool when I noticed it. I told people that I thought I was starting to experience hair loss and everyone told me I was crazy. By the time I graduated these same people were telling me that there are solutions to hair loss. Two years later people told me to shave it all the way off. I was good looking in highschool, played on the basketball team, had many girlfriends, great confidence and I felt like I was  on top of the world. Since I noticed myself balding  all of these things slowly went out the window, my confidence, the cute girls, and my over all happiness.

The first step to taking control over your hair loss is to learn about and understand it. Learn what causes hair loss. It’s also important to learn to recognize and eradicate all hair loss myths from your memory. Unfortunately, there is no cure for thinning hair. However, the more you learn about balding and its causes, the better chance you’ll develop realistic hair restoration goals and expectations.

Balding men and women with minimal hair loss are usually at a great advantage over those who’ve already lost a great deal of hair. Propecia (finasteride)  for men only and Rogaine (minoxidil) for men and women have been proven effective in slowing down, stopping, and even reversing hair loss. Treating baldness early can often save much of a person’s natural hair from falling out due to genetics, the most common cause of hair loss today.

Hair transplantation may be a viable option for t hose w ho are qualified. Because hair transplant results vary, it’s important to select a surgeon with an excellent reputation for producing consistent quality results and standing behind their patients. The Hair Transplant Network has carefully reviewed many physicians over the last 10 years by gathering patient experiences and visiting their clinics to determine who is worth recommending. You are encouraged to carefully evaluate any clinic you are considering for surgery. You can search through over 10 years of patient posted experiences and photos by using the find feature on our hair restoration forum.

While Coalition member Dr. Edmond Griffin hasn’t had a lot of hair transplant patients showing off their results on our hair loss forum over the years, he’s become more active recently by presenting examples of his exceptional work in the “Results Posted by Leading Hair Transplant Clinics” forum.

We recently posted our video interviews with him on YouTube  and are worth checking out. I think you’ll be impressed with Dr. Griffin’s passion for his work and likeable demeanor on video.   Having met the man, I can attest that he has the same devotion to state of the art hair restoration surgery and likeable personality in the flesh.
