Can i use hair building fibres concealer (Toppik) sometimes to attend a function after 3 and a half month of my FUE. Because still not satisfied after 9550 grafts in 3 surgeries. Don't know why they show us ads to cover ur head with 4-5 thousands grafts. it's just a waste of money and bear pain.

Answer: Hair Fiber Concealer Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your transplant results. It is hard to imagine that 9550 grafts have been placed. I find the upper limit is 4000-6000 spread over 2-3 procedures. They may be reporting hair fibers rather than follicles. Fortunately, you are not at your end point from your third procedure so you should see some further improvement. There are several factors that go into the success of a transplant procedure including the thickness of your graft follicles, the degree of hair loss, and the condition of the scalp. Steps can be taken to optimize the growth and survival of the grafts including PRP, low level laser therapy, minoxidil, DHT blocking agents, etc. In the end it is important to realize that with significant hair loss, the best that can sometimes be achieved is a camouflage effect. Hair fibers can be a nice complement to achieve this camouflage effect and I use them myself. Appropriate counseling of patients up front usually helps to prevent the disappointment you are experiencing. Once again - sorry to hear of your disappointment - Dr. Moore.
