For more about Dr. Prasad's training and background, please go to: http://nyhairloss.com/about-us/ A man underwent a hair transplant at his frontal hairline, and is now asking if he can get micropigmentation done in the same area of his scalp about two months after the transplant. New York hair restoration specialist Amiya Prasad, MD, reviews his photos and questions in this video, explaining how the needling of micropigmentation can affect the survival of hair grafts: 1:08 - Dr. Prasad’s background training, and his experience in both surgical hair transplants, and non-surgical hair loss treatment that was developed originally from hair transplant healing 1:58 - How hair transplants are made up of grafts that are attached to skin, and moved from the back of the head to the front of the scalp 2:19 - How this person is likely concerned about creating density, or the appearance of density at the frontal hairline, to blend in with his existing hair, through both the hair transplant and micropigmentation 2:32 - How transplanted hair needs to grow before considering micropigmentation, as the first few months after a hair transplant involves a lot of hair shedding from shock loss, and some grafts may not grow 3:12 - How it takes at least a year to see full growth of hair grafts, and seeing which grafts will actually take and grow, so only until growth can you see which areas where micropigmentation would be of benefit 3:30 - Why the trauma of micropigmentation is the most important factor, as it is basically tattooing which involves needles, and these needles can cause trauma in hair grafts, even when set to a more superficial level and cause loss of grafts 4:08 - Why Dr. Prasad advises against micropigmentation in hair graft areas to prevent trauma and loss of grafts, and how it can be done in areas where there are no hair grafts 4:26 - How the Hair Regeneration treatment was invented to improve hair graft survival, but is now a standalone hair loss treatment as it does make thinning hair grow back thicker, and get coverage comparable to a hair transplant without surgery 4:57 - How Dr. Prasad still performs hair transplants in areas where there is no thinning hair even left like the frontal hairline, but Hair Regeneration is still applied to help transplanted grafts heal, and also enable growth of dormant hair follicles and thinning hair in the same area 5:18 - How a lot of work is put into hair transplant surgery, so time should be given for the transplanted hair to grow 5:40 - How patience is needed if someone wants to blend their transplanted hair with more coverage, and topical fibers can help in creating the illusion of more density in the meantime CONNECT WITH US!
