Hello. I noticed a few months back you wrote in about shedding. How has that been? Did it stop and how are your transplant results? I’m just checking on your progress and wondering how you are. Best wishes.Dr. T

There are two types of shedding (1) the shedding from the hair grafts which happens in most people in the first month, and (2) shock loss or loss of the native hair
