When Hair Maintenance is not Enough

This is 62 year old gentleman began finasteride (Propecia) when it was first FDA-approved for hair loss in 1997. After 20 years the hair loss maintenance was not as effective and he developed diffuse Class V hair loss.

He wanted more density but wanted the aesthetic result to be subtle and compliment his age. Dr. Rogers created a conservative hair line that followed his existing hair line.  Dr. Rogers performed 1500 grafts. You can see his before and after photos at 13 months and how well his donor area healed. He was very excited about his results, and even chose to wear his hair longer after it all grew in!

Before and 13 months after 1500 grafts.

The transplant was performed using strip harvesting. The scar is virtually invisible after 1 year.
