Is it okay to get RF Microneedling done while I am nursing?
RF Microneedling is generally safe while nursing
Jun 15, 2021
Jun 15, 2021
RF Microneedling is generally safe while nursing. You should inquire what products they are using on your skin and make sure products will not have an impact if absorbed into your blood.
Does topical finasteride (non liposomal) get absorbed?
topical finasteride can be useful
Jun 15, 2021
Jun 15, 2021
Topical finasteride can be useful for some patients. It depends on your skin type and thickness. I recommend a combination with glycerin instead of phosphatidylcholine. It will take 8-12 months before you see reasonable results.
How long does it takes for a FUE hair transplant of 500 grafts? Can I see some examples of 500 gra
FUE hair transplant of 500 grafts
Sep 4, 2020
Sep 4, 2020
The procedure itself will take about 3-4 hours from walk-in to walk-out. After the procedure the scalp will need 10 days of tender-loving-care before you can return to normal physical activities. After an initial transplant adjustment period normal hair will grow at about 1 cm in length per month.
After evaluation of my scalp, doctor insisted on 500 grafts FUE hair transplant. Is it possible to
Can FUE procedure be a secret?
Sep 4, 2020
Sep 4, 2020
FUE can be done in a very subtle way so it is not apparent to the people around you. But this will really depend on the length of your hair. The donor hair is normally taken from the back of your head. If your hair is long enough, then we can hide the donor area. See example in the posted link.
If I use hair laser growth treatment, do I still need to use minoxidil?
Minoxidil irritating scale
Sep 4, 2020
Sep 4, 2020
If minoxidil is irritating your scalp, then you should stop using it. The alcohol in most minoxidil solutions will dry the scalp and can cause irritation. Topical minoxidil is useful for increasing blood flow to the scalp, which in turn is good for the scalp and will cause hair to grow – but that’s all it does. Minoxidil does not directly stimulate hair growth.

Blue discoloration and swelling with under eye fillers
Apr 30, 2020
Apr 30, 2020
Getting under filler injections is not an easy task. It requires the right patient and an experienced provider. When injections are not placed properly (too shallow in the skin) they will show as a blue discoloration on the skin. In this case the filler has to be dissolved, and later injected properly into the correct position. The provider performing the injection also has to be mindful not inject too much under the eyes. Too much filler will absorb water from the surrounding tissue and s…
How long does Revanesse eye filler last under eyes? 2 months post op and my eyes look uneven.
Revenesse for eyes
Apr 30, 2020
Apr 30, 2020
Revenesse has a medium lasting life under your skin. When injected into active areas of the face such as lips and lower cheeks the results will last about 9-12 months. When injected under the eyes, where there is significantly less movement, the result can last much longer. I’ve had patients with results lasting more than 18-24 month.If you are still unhappy with the results please seek assistance from another more experienced providers.
