In Follicular Unit Hair Transplant, Can You Double-up Follicular Units and Still Call it FUT?
Q: Could you accept easing of the very strict definition of FUT, which you published about 15 years ago? Could you agree to use mixture of single FU and double FU under the name of FUT?
A: One would never want grafts larger than the largest original follicular units or the results will not look natural. The artificially large grafts will stand out in relatively thin surroundings. If one were to try to fix this by transplanting the doubled FUs very close together (over one or more sessions) one risks running out of grafts for other areas of the scalp. In other words, you can't fool mother nature.
Which Hair Loss Treatment is Better: Minoxidil with Retin-A or Minoxidil Without Retin-A?
Q: Is using Minoxidil combined with Retin-A better than regular Minoxidil for Hair Loss?
A: Minoxidil has been prescribed (off-label) in combination with other medications, such as topical retinoic acid (Retin-A), to enhance its penetration into the skin and thus increase its effectiveness. This combination of medications, however, can significantly increase the absorption of minoxidil into the bloodstream and may increase the risk of potential side effects.
Dr. Bernstein appears on the Oprah Winfrey Show to explain his follicular unit hair transplant procedure and to give Oprah a first-hand view of his patient's actual results.
