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.

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

Over the past several years of having my hair back I have learned a few things about how transplanted hair behaves over time. I'm not saying that it acts differently than non-transplanted hair or anything like that but more rather what the conditions are that allow it to look it's best.

If you've never had a hair transplant understand that it acts just like non-transplanted hair if the procedure was… Continue reading

Why would anyone care about taking the best possible photos of their hair??? Well, some people may not care at all but if you want to accurately document your own hair transplant experience for reference then why not take the best photos possible? Also, if you are going to post your photos on the web for others to learn from you owe it to yourself and to those that… Continue reading

I think "final" here is a bit misleading because it can mean final growth or final development. By "development" I mean how the hair continues to change in very subtle ways after all the growth has kicked in and gained any length. Let me explain further... After undergoing a hair restoration the grafts go through a bit of an adjustment period. Hair has two main growth phases; Telogen (the growing phase)… Continue reading

A recent emailer asked me if my old grafts were removed in my first or subsequent surgeries with Dr. Wong. Dr. Wong actually incorporated my old grafts into the overall design with the understanding that the old grafts were not so low as to impede the natural results from the new work. Had they been lower than they were then most definitely they would have to have been removed.…
