Dr. Bernie Nusbaum of Miami, Florida has been granted membership in the Coalition

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Dr. Bernie Nusbaum has gained the approval of our online community and his coalition colleagues and is now our newest Coalition member. His ethics, hair transplant technique, experience and commitment to his patients and their results exemplifies what we seek in a Coalition member. He has also made the investment in both staff and experience to provide his patients with large sessions of 3,000 plus follicular unit grafts (averaging 2.3 hairs per graft for total hair counts of aproximately 7,000 or more).

To learn more about his background, current procedure view the forum topic “Potential Coalition Membership for Dr. Bernie Nusbaum of Miami” and view his Coalition profile.  

As a hair transplant patient himself, Dr. Nusbaum has a keen sensitivity for patients that permeates his entire clinic and his surgical results. Dr. Nusbaum under went hair transplantation in the early 1980’s to treat his own hair loss. He prides himself in having a one on one relationship with all his patients and giving his home number to all his patients.

Dr. Nusbaum has not only kept pace with improvements in hair transplant techniques but contributed his considerable skills and ideas in numerous international meetings and medical journals.

In recent years Dr. Nusbaum and his staff have incorporated the use of very tiny custom cut blades that enable them to make tiny dense packed incisions that are as small as .7 mm. His highly experienced staff of ten medical techs are capable of producing thousands of extremely refined grafts that are trimmed to fit in these tiny incisions. Dr. Nusbaum carefully orientates all the graft incisions in a manner to assure that the transplanted hair will grow out in at the proper angles and directions to maximize naturalness.

Discontinuing Rogaine

Thursday, April 5th, 2007
I am currently taking 1/4 tablet of proscar (generic Propecia) a day as well as the topical treatment rogaine. My hair is slowly thickening up. When it is back to an ideal level, will I be able to stop the rogaine and just continue the DHT proscar or something similar?

I’m glad to hear that the combination of Rogaine and proscar (finasteride marketed as Propecia) has been working for you. Since they both work in very different ways (the Rogaine applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth, while the finasteride is taken as a pill to inhibit the development of DHT in the scalp) they can have a synergistic (2 + 2 = 7) effect.

However, if you stop using the Rogaine you will loose all the hair that it helped you retain or regrow during the whole time you used it. Often a person will quit using Rogaine because it didn’t grow new hair. Then they will shed the hair that they didn’t realize the Rogaine had actually helped them save. It’s a gamble to go off of Rogaine once you’ve been using it for a while.

As for Proscar (generic Propecia), if you quit using it your hair loss will resume again. But your hair loss will have been delayed.
