Thankyou DIAMOND
You had the courage and commitment to show your brothers your face
Thats not easy .
You never harmed anyone . You are an ordinary guy with hair loss.
But you were sucked into white coated CORPORATE MEDICINE,
whose greed and immorality comes close to WALL STREET
Again , thankyou Diamond, , you showed your face , you showed your humanity
You paid me to help you. But it is I who owe you for trusting me.
Be well my friend

the body and beard hair did indeed grow for this man.........in scar tissue
those old flap and scalp reduction procedures were the absolute worst---its hard to believe that they were performed from the seventies even until the early nineties when several doctors must have been well aware of what the outcomes usually were
this guy got a good yield for the amount of hair moved----

Excellent. I look forward to meeting you. As for the detractor, the results are excellent FOR THE AMOUNT OF **FINITE** DONOR used. That's something most of the scamming mega-session docs don't want you to contemplate: success of transection. But it makes more fiscal sense--for the physician---to have you do a mega session versus multiple procedures.--Less risk you'll follow-up with a different doc if you're not satisfied--and even if you do, as you've already been through a mega session, the physician's already got a substantially larger portion of money from you than he ever would have in the first place---if you hadn't got a mega session and got bad results--why?--because you're more likely to follow-up with a different doctor.

Ray, that is an excellent result!!! Please don't engage with a comment that shows itself as silly without recourse. It will always happen and no one takes this sort of thing seriously so why bother.
Although the result and your surgery are first class and this guy has been helped enormously by you, there was a time not so long ago that you were really quite negative about the use of beard hair and you did actually criticise arvind for its over use. I think this kind of result shows that to be a little unfair.
A question. Why not use a great deal more beard hair in a single pass and get a bigger result in a single session?
Many Thanks
Marco.

Marco. If you look back and read into what doctor Woods was saying. Is the over use of beard hair and in the hairline. I for one am glad he was able to help this guy out and using it in the back of the head it made sense to Diamond after his test patch grew out and he was able to see the results for himself . And now he is moving on to using it in the crown and some other areas. I think maybe he feels doing it in stages on a tough repair job helps keep track of the total numbers that really end up growing than doing a megasession.

I think it is rather miraculous to have done such a fine repair with so little donor to work with. Thank you Dr. Woods for everything again. I only wish there was some way to correct this corrupt industry. You are World class to me Ray. Don't pay attention to these evil and unethical posters.

Beard and body hair transplant repair job |
I have removed beard hair many years ago but the bulb size and coarseness stopped me from placing it into the hairline.
In 2002, the patient "programmer" who had posted here at the time , had beard hair via strip, from under the chin.
And that was a disaster. MY sister and I spent countless hours removing it and repairing his head.
They were follicular units, not plugs or mini grafts, but it was clear that beard hair had to be treated with extreme caution.
IF, it is placed in the frontal hairline, it may look very weird, especially if the hair is coarse.
IF the surrounding hair falls out, then it may be even worse.
Facial scarring is a risk. We cannot replace one problem with another.
First and foremost, we must "DO NO HARM".
Beard hair is great , but it can go either way if it is not removed or placed correctly.
I remove 500 perfectly intact follicular units per session, with less than 5% transection, and the videos prove it.
I then place those grafts one by one under microscopic control to ensure they are not damaged and that there is no scalp shock.
That is a big day...and night.
And since the early 1990s I gave better results with only a fraction of the grafts other doctors were qouting.
When you see some results on the web , and the ridiculous number of quoted grafts, EVEN TO REPAIR SMALL AREAS, you soon realise that it is a PR stunt, and a NUMBERS RACKET.
I look at some of these results in total disbelief, and wonder why there is so much butt kissing and no one dares to challenge.
Otherwise DIAMOND will again dramatically improve in the next few months

>> And since the early 1990s I gave better results with only a fraction of the grafts other doctors were quoting.
Now that is something to consider.
I have been wondering for a while why there is such a discrepancy in outcome between the better docs even when using scalp hair using the same numbers. H&W get wow results but that can't be due to some kind of magic. Maybe the percentage growth is not nearly as close to 100% as is advertised by many surgeons. When it comes to FUE maybe this is even more pronounced.
You take a lot longer than many fue surgeons to implant 500 hairs but if the outcome is a better percentage growth then of cause it is worth it. The truth relating to the real percentage growth and consistent percentage growth is hard to come by. It seems likely that the meticulous procedure that you use and your experience as founder of this area can be trusted but does that mean that all other FUE surgeons are no good. I can't believe that.

I second that, there are some crazy numbers being thrown around by Arvind and Umar, the surface area for beard is much smaller than scalp donor, there is no way they can get more beard hair than they could from the scalp. Arvind posted a 6800 grafts beard transplant, if you think about it, most scalp fue can't even get up to 5000, how on earth did he get 6800 grafts from facial hair!

like trusting Wall Street "numbers"....they are used to leap frog competitors and suck in "business", by appearing to be more efficient and offering better value for money.
They say "Doctors bury their mistakes"
But in the hair transplant industry, patients hide themselves out of shame and regret.
And those who become vocal are buried by Lawyers, Legal Disclaimers, or certain Sponsor friendly websites who make sure problems and complaints "go away".
So yes, I third that, the quoted numbers are often absolutely ridiculous.

I am sure you know that Propecia has the exact opposite effect on body hair as it does for scalp hair, so do you think that people who had BHT should be asked not use Propecia? Maybe people are not seeing good BHT growth partially because they are using Propecia which tends to decrease body hair growth? Your thoughts ?

I am not 100% certain and don't have all the facts, so I can only offer an opinion . I think what you said is correct.
Another reason is that damaged and transected grafts are placed to artificially inflate the "numbers"
Or, the grafts were promised, but only a fraction of that number actually implanted. Doctors know that patients wont go home and count the "thousands" of scabs. And 12 months later, the poor growth is old news easily deflected and ignored by an ongoing PR blitz

I hope that is not true about Propecia+BHT, that's insane, if we can't use Propecia after BHT then sure enough our own hair will fall out and all we have left is body hair on top, talk about looking like a freak!

All this had been debated before, I think it was Dr Umar who said that the reason he can get more from the face is because we don't have to worry about leaving gaps in the donor, doctors can extract virtually every single follicle from the chin,face and neck, however the same does not apply to scalp donor or you will risk having white dots and gaps all over the back of your head.

The hard thing here is deciding what is "average" . It stretches from people who have hardly any facial hair, to the Taliban
Density must be considered, and the physical size of the beard area plus other subtle variants which will impact the numbers available etc.
I'll take a punt and say a couple of thousand, give or take 500 to 1000.
But don't hold me to it. Each area must be assessed idividually.

If you think I am right about BHT and Propecia, do you ask your bht patients to stop using Propecia after the surgery? It would be counter productive if you give us body hair and at the same time we continue to use Propecia which decreases body hair growth, dont you think?

Dr. Umar posted this before,
Medicine is hardly a field of absolutes. To most rules, there are bound to be exceptions.
The pathway that leads to the production of the 3 androgens (DHT, testosterone and Androstenedione, also has a route that leads to the production of Estrogen). When you block DHT production by 5AR inhibition, the path to testosterone and/or estrogen production tends to be upregulated. The degree to which either of these two hormones (testosterone and Estrogen) are affected by 5AR inhibition should depend on several factors including the patient's idiosyncratic predispositions, drug dosage, drug type and actions (eg Dutasteride blocks both 5AR-1 and 5AR-2 hence leaves less room for DHT production via the 5AR1 pathway -the case with finateride)etc.
In healthy individuals, most body hair (relevant to BHT) responds especially to testosterone positively. Hence if DHT blockage results in more testosterone production than estrogen, you may actually end up with a positive effect on body hair than in premedication periods. If however, more estrogen is produced than is testosterone, you may well have a slowing of body hair growth and/or breast enlargement and/or loss of libido etc. If these hormones (Testosterone and and Estrogen) are raised to the same degree activity-wise, then you may have no change in body hair status as the effects of the 2 will balance out (most patients on alopecia reduction doses). This is the basis for my previous statement "Some activities of 5AR inhibitors (dutasteride and finasteride) are not a direct result of DHT or lack of it" found in the post you pasted above. As you can judge from the aforementioned, some activities of 5AR inhibitors is as a direct result of Testosterone and/or estrogen upregulation, rather than |
