Product Description

I often discuss other people’s hair loss, but recently, I realized it might be interesting to share my own experience. This epiphany came when a patient asked how I, an ‘expert’ in the field, managed to lose my own hair. My hair loss, like that of many men, is genetic and inherited from both sides of my family. Out of ten direct male relatives I can think of, only two didn’t end up almost completely bald. The question wasn’t just about why I lost my hair, but rather, why I hadn’t taken more action against my baldness. The truth is, I did take action, but Propecia wasn’t available during my hair loss phase, and Minoxidil didn’t have the desired effect.

During my training in hair surgery, I underwent a hair transplant. However, the techniques and quality of hair transplants back then were far less advanced than today’s standards. Efficient use of available donor hair was not comparable to the current extremely high standards. The combination of advanced hair loss at a young age and the inefficient use of my limited donor hair left me with few options, especially as my donor area also thinned out over time. I’ve come to terms with this and reached a reasonably happy state. This experience allows me to empathize deeply with my patients, particularly the young men with a strong family history of hair loss and high expectations.
