It's permanent. After 48 hrs transplanted hair will stay there for lifetime and the only way to remove it is by surgery

Where was the graft from?

What I mean is, say your balding pattern is caused by oily scalp (just a random example). Unless you do something about the oily scalp, won't the new hair be affected by your oily scalp and fall off too?

This sound like Yun Nam snake oil salesman pitch.

No. Oily scalp should not affect the transplanted hair. I have oily scalp and face too

From back of your head. They extract 1 by 1 so very labour intensive. Modern clinic I saw in Youtube they use ARTAS robot

That's false information

Taking Finasteride and Minox will stimulate hair growth for original AND transplanted hair

If stop taking, the original hair will shed but transplanted hair will remain

Sorry, my mistake.

But the transplanted hair is not usually enough to maintain an appearance of a decent head of hair, especially on the crown

Still need to maintain the other original hairs around the grafts, only way to do that is with finasteride and minoxdil

Very interesting AMA!
1) How do you decide the "new" hairline? Is it a cost thing or to look like before balding/younger or enhanced or somewhere in between?
2) are you changing your hairstyle?
3) Any plans how to handle queries about your new look?

1. TBH I did not decide on the hairline. They use laser to draw a symmetrical line on my forehead and ask whether I'm OK wit it...I just said OK
2. I plan to once I have fuller hair. Now too early to decide...keep checking mirror everyday...very excited
3. Today is my first day coming back to office. TBH no one care about my new bald look. Only 1 colleague ask me in toilet why I cut my hair so short... sweat.gif

Baldness is heritable so probably just a matter of time. Your brother suffer it earlier likely because of his eating and lifestyle

If you feel pain during the procedure, just let them know and they'll administer more anaesthetic to your scalp. Afterwards no more pain

Throughout the process you'll be given muscle relaxant pills so you'll feel relax and half-awake.

The next day after they wash off the scab your head will be less red and few days later it'll heal - similar experience like what the guy in the video and I went through
