Not Sure. I will update this review as the months go by. The star rating may be temporary. But in the mean time, I can only assess what has happened. The procedure may be a success or a failure. I don't know, but here I go. I went to the Silicon Valley Hair Institute to repair a previous procedure. The original Dr. comped the fee. I was examined by the Dr. and his staff. They assured me I was good to go, and that I would not have any issues other than the temporary shedding of the transplanted hairs. I also had my thyroid function checked as well as my blood for STD's, and I spoke to a dermatologist to see if I was fit for the procedure. My lab results were normal. I am healthy. Dr. Canales also checked my hair with a microscope and determined that I was a great candidate.
Here are I am 2 months later, and large amounts of native hairs as well as the hairs from the previous transplant have fallen out. I am currently on Propecia, Rogaine, triamcinolone, and biotin and I was just prescribed oral minoxidil. Very nice guy, but I have received conflicting information, so I am not sure what to say. I am not sure what the failure rates for these procedure are, but I am certain that they are 100% if they are done correctly. At this point, I am just praying that the results come out as promised. Please let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks

Your previous transplant doctor gave you back your money? Can you explain more? My husband is not satisfied with his procedure done almost a year ago and the clinic is not being kind. Basically refusing to discuss the failure. Suggestions?
