Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. John Kahen,
Sourced directly from Dr. John Kahen,'s social posts and replies.
How often should I condition my hair, and does it cause hair loss?
The frequency of hair conditioning depends on your hair's volume and texture, but you can condition daily if desired. Conditioning softens hair follicles and does not contribute to hair loss.
Can I design my own hairline for a hair transplant?
While patients can contribute to their hairline design, Dr. Kahen ultimately takes responsibility to ensure the final result looks natural. His goal is for patients to achieve results that are not obviously identifiable as a hair restoration.
What causes traction alopecia?
Traction alopecia is often caused by previous hairstyling that pulls hair tight, leading to hair loss in specific areas like the frontal zone, rather than being linked to a family history of hair loss.
What is the typical pain level during hair restoration procedures?
Dr. Kahen's practice aims to provide a pain-free and enjoyable experience, with minimal discomfort. Patients often report it's less painful than getting a tattoo, especially when the procedure is performed correctly.
When is PRP recommended versus a hair transplant?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is effective for preventing further hair loss and making existing hair thicker and stronger. However, for achieving full density or addressing completely bald areas, a hair transplant is considered the number one option. The best approach depends on individual goals and expectations.
What happens during a consultation with Dr. Kahen?
During a consultation, Dr. Kahen explains the procedure and shows potential results to help patients visualize outcomes.
How long does a hair transplant procedure typically take?
After the initial numbing of the scalp, the main part of a hair transplant procedure typically takes the rest of the day.
What is the timeline for seeing results after a hair transplant?
After the procedure, patients typically see no visible changes for a few months before hair starts to grow through. Full results for a new hairline and density are expected in five to six months.
What is the Smart Restoration product line?
Dr. Kahen is the founder of Smart Restoration, a product line including shampoo, conditioner, vitamins, and hair serum for both women and men. These products are crafted with powerful, clinically proven ingredients like Hairspa™, Baicapil™, AnaGain™, and Keranat™ to nourish, strengthen, rejuvenate, and restore hair from the roots up, with minimal side effects. The formulas are backed by science and Dr. Kahen's 20 years of experience, aiming to help individuals achieve healthier, fuller hair and renewed confidence.
Is it necessary to shave my entire head for a hair transplant?
No, Dr. Kahen's practice does not require shaving the entire head. Only the donor area at the back of the head is buzzed a tiny bit for follicle extraction. The rest of the scalp is left unshaved to ensure a natural-looking outcome, as shaving too short can make it difficult to determine the natural direction of hair growth.
Does Dr. Kahen perform FUE or FUT hair transplants?
Dr. Kahen performs both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) procedures. FUT involves removing a small strip of tissue from the back of the scalp, from which individual follicles are extracted, while FUE involves extracting individual follicles directly. The choice depends on the patient's specific needs and goals.
What type of anesthesia is used for hair restoration procedures?
The scalp is numbed with local anesthesia for hair restoration procedures, ensuring minimal discomfort during the main part of the treatment.
Are hair transplants different for women than men, and can women with diffuse thinning be treated?
Dr. Kahen treats a significant number of female patients (40% of his practice) for various types of hair loss. While the core principles of hair transplantation are similar, specific approaches may vary based on the pattern of hair loss, such as diffuse thinning. Importantly, it is not necessary to shave the entire head for women undergoing a transplant at his practice.
Does transplanted hair fall out before growing?
Yes, it is normal for transplanted hair to go through a shedding phase in the first few months after the procedure before new hair growth becomes visible.
Is transplanted hair permanent?
Transplanted hair, typically taken from donor areas resistant to balding, is generally permanent. However, it's important to understand that native hair in other areas may continue to thin or be lost over time, which can lead to a need for further procedures to maintain overall density.
