Toppik Hair Loss Scam
Toppik for hair loss is a scam or not, is not important. The fact is that you should do whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Seeing a hair restoration surgeon to get hair transplant is a proven treatment for psycho-social adverse effects of baldness. If you can use any other method such as Toppik to look better, why not using it?

megasessions at US Hair Restoration
Mega session hair transplant surgery has been around for almost a decade since Dr. Rassman and others started doing bigger and bigger sessions. Before 1993 all could be done was less than 1000 and occasionally 1500 grafts per each session. Using newer techniques and larger team of experienced technicians, we at US Hair Restoration are currently performing large sessions on a regular basis.
Not all physician teams are equal. If a doctor routinely performs sessions in over 2500 graft size, then it would be safe to assume that this doctor has mastered the skills required for large session. Unfortunately, not all doctors have either the teams or the skills to accomplish the feat on a routine basis. Limiting the size of the session to under 2000 grafts, it may take more surgical sessions to accomplish the same goal as when twice the number is transplanted.
Many factors should come together for a mega session hair transplant surgery. First, the surgical team must be trained in doing large sessions with fast, efficient cutting and placing. The following points must be available for the surgery to be successful. The sessions should not take more than eight to ten hours, for more than that, the grafts that are out of the body awaiting placement produces reduced graft growth. Hair transplant surgeon should keep a larger team of technicians to help reducing the time of surgery.
The surgeon must know the nuances of prolonged anesthesia without increasing the risks to the patient. The patient’s scalp laxity must be very loose so that a wide strip can be taken safely (often these strips measure greater than 2cm in width and 22cm in length). The patient’s density must be high (50% higher than normal densities). Large sessions might carry increased risk of swelling and redness after surgery, but overall are not more risky than smaller sessions, but the above criteria must be bet or the yield would not be there. At US Hair Restoration, we offer megasessions to patients with extensive baldness with good donor quality with excellent results.

Los Angeles hair restoration
Researchers suspect that several genes inherited from both parents play a role in androgenetic alopecia. Paternal hair loss has been shown to correlate with chances of alopecia in sons, while variations in the androgen receptor gene (AR), which can also correlate with baldness, are X linked and thus inherited from one's maternal grandfather or grandmother or both. Hair transplant surgery in Los Angeles.
Receptors of Androgen allow the body to respond appropriately to dihydrotestosterone and other androgens. Studies suggest that variations in the AR gene lead to increased activity of androgen receptors in hair follicles. It remains unclear, however, how these genetic changes increase the incidence of patterned hair loss in men and women with androgenetic alopecia.
The inheritance pattern of androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness is unclear because many genetic and environmental factors are likely to be involved. This condition tends to cluster in families, however, and having a close relative with patterned hair loss appears to be a risk factor for developing the condition.

Cicatricial Alopecia
Cicatricial alopecias could be primary or secondary. This discussion is confined to the primary cicatricial alopecias in which the hair follicle is the target of the destructive inflammatory process. In secondary cicatricial alopecias, a non-follicle-directed process or external injury, such as severe infections, burns, radiation, or tumors could cause destruction of the hair follicle.
The causes of the cicatricial alopecias are not completely known. However, all cicatricial alopecias involve inflammation directed at the hair follicle, the upper part of the follicle where the stem cells and sebaceous gland are located are generally involved. Permanent hair loss occurs when the stem cells and the sebaceous glands are destroyed. This type of hair loss is usually irreversible."
