The patient members of our hair loss forum in collaboration with quality physicians have revolutionized the hair transplant profession by demanding only the best results. That’s why only those physicians with a solid reputation for producing outstanding hair transplant results are approved for recommendation on the Hair Transplant Network.

Dr. Parsa Mohebi, his technique, and results were carefully reviewed over the last year and a half by our hair restoration forum and social community in consideration for recommendation. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Mohebi has been approved for recommendation by our online community. To learn how we prescreen and recommend hair transplant surgeons, click here.

After completing a one year fellowship with Coalition member Dr. Bill Rassman, Dr. Parsa Mohebi opened his own clinic “US Hair Restoration” where he’s been performing hair transplant surgery exclusively for almost 3 years. Dr. Mohebi operates on only one patient per day and has the staff and experience to perform large sessions exceeding 3000 grafts when appropriate for the patient.

After seeking input from the patient and physician members of this community and carefully evaluating his results on our hair loss forum for almost 2 years, we’d like to congratulate Dr. Mohebi in becoming our newest recommended physician on the Hair Transplant Network. To congratulate and welcome him to our community, visit the “Potential Recommendation of Dr. Parsa Mohebi of Los Angeles, California”.

On June 25th through the 27th, 2010, The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS) is hosting a conference in Bangkok, Thailand. The conference, which focuses on new advances in Asian hair transplantation, features two hair transplant surgeons recommended by the Hair Transplant NetworkDr. Damkerng Pathomvanich, and Coalition physician Dr. Jerry Wong.

Dr. Pathomvanich is presenting an introductory speech and giving presentations on hairline placement in Asian hair restoration patients, eyebrow transplantation in Asian patients, and stem cell and growth factor hair loss treatments. He’ll also be sitting on several question and answer panels and assisting in several follicular unit transplantation (FUT) cases.


Dr. Wong is giving presentations on the difference between pre-made follicular unit incision sites and stick-and-place incisions, mega sessions for Asian patients, facial hair transplantation, and temple hair transplantation. He too will be sitting on several panels and assisting in follicular unit transplantation cases.

Congratulations to both Dr. Pathomvanich and Dr. Wong!

According to an article published in Nature Magazine, Dermatologists, Geneticists, and Neurobiologists from institutions such as Columbia University, Stanford University, and Rockefeller University may have identified a new hair loss gene.

While studying hereditary hypotrichosis simplex – a rare condition that causes hair follicle miniaturization and aggressive, abnormal hair loss, scientists found a common mutation in the adenomatosis polyposis down-regulated 1 (APCDD1) gene in three different families. Although this hereditary condition is not identical to male pattern baldness or genetic female baldness, the research team believes the APCDD1 gene plays a significant role in human hair growth and development.

These findings may prove important in future research and non-surgical hair loss treatments.

While no cure for hair loss yet exists, millions of balding men and women worldwide hope that hair multiplication (HM) will end baldness once and for all. By cloning derma papilla cells and injecting them into hairless scalp tissue, hair multiplication/cloning may eventually provide balding men and women with an unlimited supply of their own natural hair.

Intercytex and Aderans Research Institute are two major contenders in developing hair cloning/multiplication amongst other treatments. However recently, Intercytex announced that they’re closing the doors after several long hard years of working to develop this hair loss treatment.

To learn more about Intercytex and who may be taking over their research, visit “Intercytex discontinues its hair multiplication development operations”. You can also discuss this topic on our hair restoration forum.
