Welcome to the new and improved HairTransplantMentor.com. I originally created this site to document my hair transplant journey in real time. I was the first hair transplant patient to photo blog hair transplant results in real time in such detail. Many years ago, I had unsuccessful mini-micro graft surgery. The results were discouraging and depressing. I wanted the mess fixed and after much research, I chose Doctor Wong of Hasson & Wong Hair Transplant Clinic, to repair that work and provide more coverage with subsequent hair transplants. This blog is about that journey.

For proper disclosure you should know that while I currently work for Hasson & Wong I did not work for them when I had my first two procedures with Dr. Wong. The documentation was unbiased and in real time.

If you are a would-be hair transplant patient, I hope you can learn something from my experience. Take a look at my hair transplant photos, and read my story. If you have any questions, contact me. I'll try to answer and may even post that answer on the blog to help other hair loss sufferers.

Here is the most recent video of my hair restoration results.

As always, refer to your specific hair transplant clinic's… Continue reading

Is flaking of the scalp normal after a hair transplant surgery? Well, yes but it depends on how long it has been since the surgery. If your scalp is flaking and you only recently had a hair transplant then it is very normal. The scalp tends to get dry after a procedure but more than that you can have continued flaking and even crusts develop long after the actual scabbing… Continue reading

This has nothing to do with hair loss obviously but I just saw the video of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the luge competitor from Georgia (the country, not the state) and the horrible crash that ended his life. It will be difficult to find for yourself online and I will not link to the video through here but if you do view the video do so at your own risk. I think… Continue reading

This interesting Wired article talks about a 4000 year old strand of hair that allowed scientists to sequence the oldest human genome yet. Among other characteristics such as hair color, eye color and skin color the genome sequencing allowed scientists to reveal that hair loss is not exclusive to only modern humans. There is an image included in the article showing what appears to be an "ancient" man with hair… Continue reading

About a year and a half ago I developed a scary case of dandruff. I say "scary" because it was the source of some quite large dandruff flakes and with many of the flakes a hair or two would be included. After several weeks of this my hair started to look a bit too thin… Continue reading

I know, this has NOTHING to do with hair loss or hair restoration but I found this video and had to share. A lot of the views in the video can be seen from our office including the mountains and water with the skyline… Continue reading

About two years ago there was buzz on the web about something called Acell or more specifically Acell "Matrix". Acell is a company that has been making wound healing products primarily for the veterinarian industry for years. After a lawsuit between Acell and University of Pensylvania was ruled (Acell won) Acell was allowed to move forward with the human version of their "Matrix" technology. In short Matrix, when applied properly… Continue reading
