Dr. Parsa Mohebi is the medical director for US Hair Restoration. Re-establishing a patients’ self image and self-esteem by using the most modern medical and surgical approach is one of Dr. Mohebi’s goals. He and his staff are highly committed to using the highest techniques and devices.
Dr. Parsa Mohebi is personally involved in all stages of patient care. Dr. Mohebi is collaborating with many academic centers on the topics of hair growth, gene therapy techniques and hair multiplications. Dr. Mohebi performed surgical internship at University of North Dakota followed by residency at University of New Mexico and York Hospital.
Dr. Mohebi then continued his aspirations in surgical research by joining the Department of Surgical Sciences at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. It was there that he performed several studies on wound healing and hair growth using growth factors and gene therapy methods.
His main focus has been dedicated towards the research of hair growth, hair multiplication, wound healing and psychology of hair loss. Dr. Mohebi completed a fellowship in surgical hair restoration at NHI.

Laxometer increases a surgeon’s accuracy and helps minimize the widening of scar tissue.
The first few months after hair transplant can be a crucial period for the patients who are anxious to see their new hair. We answer to our patients and other patients who underwent or planning to undergo a hair transplnt surgery in our hair transplant blog. This is one of thoese questions of patient who had a hair transplant about four months ago. Patient is anxious to see growth of his transplanted hair as soon as possible. He stated that he underwent a procedure four months ago and it has ben hard to tell the growth of hair.
Our hair transplant patient is curious to see why he can not see more hair at this level. He says: 2 months after the surgery I started using a buzzer on all unaffected areas of my head to balance out the length of the shave of the recipient area. I wasn’t totally bald before so eventually, my already existing hair in the front starting getting a little out of balance. I was pretty cautious about shaving the recipient area, so roughly around mid-December I started shaving it all to balance everything out. I also did it so I could monitor the improvement better, as it’s not easy when it’s uneven.
I think I have more hair than I used to, but it’s still barely half the density of all the surrounding hair on the sides and around the top, not the front, which is approximately half as dense. Could my lack of growth be the side effect of the finasteride. But I barely remember the holes being poked in the recipient area when my hair transplant doctor performed the procedure. One thing that concerns me is that I was never told exactly how many grafts were transplanted. It never really worried me until now.
I must admit that my doctor was very nice, and answered all of my questions. However, I must say that I’m not impressed. If you have similar question after hair transplant surgery, don’t panic. The growth of transplanted hair could be very gradual and full result may not be seen before one full year after hair transpaltn. Transplanted hair generally sheds in 90% of people and you do not see anything for about 3 months after the hair transplant surgery.
After the third month you may start seeing growth of most transplanted hair. That is more obvious for the patients who do not have any hair at all.
People who already have some hair should not be able to see much before 6-8 months from the time of their surgery when transplanted hair is long and thick enough to be distinguished. I understand that you are anxious to see the final result as soon as possible, but you cannot rush the growth of grafts. I do not perform nor recommend doing a second procedure before 6 months from the previous hair transplant because many of the grafts are not even out at that time. Be patient and you will see your transplanted hair growing in a few months.
