FUE & Body Repair – 65 Yr Old Patient

April 10, 2022 admin Leave a comment

A new entry has just been added to Modena’s male hair loss success stories!

Diagnosis: FUE transplant & Body Repair – Age: 65 – Sex: Male

Dr. Amir Yazdan performed a highly sensitive FUE hair transplant and body repair on the 65 year old male patient. The procedure was done exclusively by the hand of Dr. Yazdan, assistants were nearby to keep grafts healthy and orderly. No technicians or assistants are ever allowed to perform any work on the patient – this is one of the hallmarks of a true hair transplant clinic.

Patient had arrived at Modena Hair Institute more than a year ago with a poorly performed punch surgery and lots of scarring. He had also received scalp micro pigmentation work which turned blue. A notorious problem among inexperience or purely cosmetic clinics, SMP pigments can turn blue if it is too dark and the wrong pigments are used. At Modena we take great care in the way we create and apply our pigments so as to eliminate all risk of future decomposure.

Dr. Yazdan used beard and chest hair to:

Reconstruct the gentleman’s hairline
Hide plug grafts
Add more density
Cover up the blue micropigmentation

Hair Transplant Payment Plans

April 3, 2022 admin Leave a comment

Often we hear that while a hair transplant operation would be the most helpful and aesthetically life saving operation for a person, the cost is too great. Patients assume, usually through Google searches, that FUE or FUT hair regrowth treatments are an extremely expensive option. The reality for clinics like Modena Hair Institute are in fact the opposite, we are supremely affordable for almost any customer, regardless of their income level.

Budgeting for your hair restoration procedure can be an overwhelming or difficult task when done alone. That is why our clinic can help you plan out your monetary spending so you can find affordable and effective treatment for your lost hair. You can start regrowing your own natural hair on your scalp with our revolutionary treatments right away.

Step 1: Establish Your Hair Goals

Depending on your medical reasons for losing your hair, you may want to invest in a thorough hair transplant treatment sooner rather than later. It’s important to figure out the best time for you to get this pervasive problem taken care of. You can establish your timeline by speaking with Dr. Amir Yazdan directly about your hair care needs.

Regardless of your budget size or payment eligibility, our Las Vegas, Orange County and Los Angeles clinics will always prioritize easy income options to get treatment started immediately. That being said, it’s important not to cut corners when it comes to the quality of your medical procedure.

Diet, Hair Products and Hair Surgery

October 1, 2021 admin Leave a comment

‘You are what you eat.’ We’ve all heard that old saying, but how does it apply to the health of your hair? Can your dietary choices lead to hair loss? Can they counter it? Reverse it?

The primary causes of hair loss are genetics, hormonal dysregulation, hypothyroidism, tension on the hair (tension alopecia), scalp trauma, infection and dietary factors such as nutrient deficiencies.

Micronutrient deficiencies can have an effect on the health of your hair. To understand why let’s have a look at what our hair is actually made of. Hair consists of two main structures — the hair shaft, which is what you see, and the hair follicle, which is hidden underneath the skin. Hair grows from the hair follicle.

The average growth rate for human hair is typically around 0.35 mm per day. Meanwhile, the average scalp sheds about 100 hairs per day, which can increase with hair care practices like excessive shampooing and forceful brushing.

Hair follicles are highly active and sensitive structures. The fact that hair follicles are among the most rapidly dividing cells in the human body, explains why nutrient deficiencies can negatively affect hair growth.

Below are some essential nutrients for maintaining healthy hair growth:

Iron – Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the world and can cause hair loss.

The result of iron deficiency is telogen effluvium (TE), that is hair loss marked by a disruption in the normal growth cycle. This leads to hair loss through excessive shedding. Laboratory studies have shown that those who suffer from hair loss tend to have lower than average iron levels in their blood.

Vitamin D – Vitamin D plays an important role in healthy hair growth. Vitamin D levels are lower in people with certain hair loss conditions, particularly female pattern hair loss. Vitamin D supplements may encourage hair regrowth resulting from a vitamin deficiency, but are of no use in treating genetically caused hair loss.

Zinc – The mineral zinc plays an important role in protein synthesis and cellular division, both processes are essential to healthy hair growth. Zinc is a necessary mineral for hair follicle function and helps protect against follicle shrinkage and promote recovery of damaged hair.

Other nutrients that may affect hair loss include: biotin, vitamin B12, folate, and riboflavin.

If you think that you may be experiencing hair loss due to a nutrient deficiency, taking a daily multivitamin may help. Hair restoration shampoos like GroMD are highly recommended for daily use. If symptoms persist then consult a medical professional for further guidance.

It is important to remember that most hair loss in men is caused by genetic factors. Vitamins will not cure male pattern baldness. The only 100% effective treatment of which is FUE or FUT hair transplant surgery. Dr. Yazdan of Modena Hair Institute is a seasoned professional in the field of hair restoration and your surest path to the head of hair you want – and deserve!

Norwood 7 Hair Restoration – 59 year old – 3,700 Grafts

September 17, 2021 admin Leave a comment

A new entry has just been added to Modena’s male hair loss success stories!

Diagnosis: FUE transplant – Age: 59 – Sex: Male – Grafs: 3,700

In another outstanding display of skill and aesthetic expertise Dr. Yazdan has engineered a new hairline. The patient, a 59 year old Male was suffering from extensive hair loss. His condition was classified as a 7 on the Norwood scale. The Norwood scale has been used by physicians since the 1950s to classify the severity of Male Pattern Baldness with 1 being the earliest visible signs of hair thinning and 7 representing the most advanced levels of hair loss. However, our patient’s Norwood number proved no obstacle to Dr. Yazdan who by skilled application of both FUE and FUT techniques, reconstructed an entirely new hairline!

FUE and FUT are the two most common methods for performing a hair transplant and may be performed either individually or together depending on the patient’s needs. The processes involve:

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) – In FUE individual hair follicles are removed from a donor area of the scalp and are transplanted to the area in need. No stitches or sutures are required for this minimally invasive procedure.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) – In FUT a strip of scalp tissue is removed from the donor area. The scalp tissue is then separated into individual grafts for the needed areas of the scalp

Diagnosis: FUE transplant – Age: 38 – Sex: Male

Here are the exceptional results of Dr. Yazdan’s work on a patient suffering from scarred eyebrows due to an accident. Loss of eyebrow hair can be associated with aging and an easy way to rejuvenate one’s appearance is to focus on restoring thinning brows.

As in our more commonly performed scalp procedures the patient was sucessfully treated with follicular unit extraction (FUE) a surgical technique which involves harvesting groups of 1 to 4 hairs, called follicular units from the patient’s own body from a site known as the ‘donor area.’ Dr. Yazdan’s skill can be particularly noted in his restoration of the large gap which had formed at the outer end of the patient’s eyebrow.

The impressive aesthetic results have given another satisfied patient a more youthful appearance as well as improved facial symmetry.

Dr. Yazdan’s integrity, years of clinical experience and innovative approach to treating hair loss have made him an obvious choice to be cited on Mr. Kobran’s program as an almost unique example of transparency and communication in the field of modern hair transplant surgery.

In particular Dr. Yazdan is praised for providing a brochure in his Orange County and Las Vegas office encouraging prospective patients to do their due diligence and consult with other qualified physicians on the IAHRS list of hair transplant surgeons.

Membership in the IAHRS or the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons is an exclusive and prestigious honor reserved for only the proven elite among hair transplant surgeons with a commitment to patient education and safety.

A new entry has just been added to Modena’s male hair loss success stories!

Diagnosis: FUE transplant – Age: 29 – Sex: Male – Grafts: 2,032

Hair transplant surgery is both a science and an art. FUE and FUT procedures must be performed by a qualified professional with extensive and specialized clinical experience. This unfortunate patient, a 29 year old male, received a less than satisfactory FUE transplant in Mexico that left him with a thin, uneven hairline. Fortunately he came to Dr. Yazdan for a second diagnosis.

Dr. Yazdan’s years of hair restoration and repair experience made fixing this patient’s botched hairline an easy task. With 2,032 of FUE grafts Dr. Yazdan skillfully filled in the uneven hairline to craft the natural looking and symmetrical results our patient always wanted.

Diagnosis: FUT transplant – Age: 34 – Sex: Male – Grafts: 1,517

In another outstanding demonstration of Dr. Yazdan’s fine craftsmanship we have the case of a 34 year old male with a receding hairline filled out by FUE. Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE is a hair transplant technique in which individual hair follicles are harvested and strategically placed in areas of the scalp that are thinning or balding.

In this fine example Dr. Yazdan addressed our patient’s thinning hairline by filling out the front of his scalp using 1517 carefully and artistically placed grafts.

The patient’s greatly improved appearance is due to in equal measure to Dr. Yazdan’s skill and the refinement of today’s hair restoration methods.

Dr. Yazdan’s fine artistry is demonstrated by the dramatic transformation which these before/after pictures bear witness to. The patient, a 35 year old male, was suffering from noticeable thinning on the top of his scalp and a receding hairline.

Stress, Depression and Androgenic Alopecia

July 11, 2021 admin Leave a comment

The last few months have not been the rosiest time in the history of human happiness, has your hair come out the worse for it? Stress and depression are often linked with hair loss in popular perception- Is this accurate? And, if so, how does this information apply to your hair loss?

The logic behind the thinking seems routine: stress causes hair loss- hair loss causes stress- stress from hair loss causes more hair loss. And so goes the vicious circle…

Depression often accompanies stress. The emotional distress of depression is frequently coupled with physical symptoms: fatigue, aches and pains, and digestive issues, and at times – hair loss.

However, while scientific studies have yet to find a direct correlation between stress and/or depression with permanent hair loss, depression and stress may play an indirect role in the thinning of hair. And, of course, a sudden or significant increase in hair loss can easily become a new source of stress or depression.

It is important to understand the distinction between stress based hair loss and Androgenic Alopecia, also known as Male Pattern Baldness. Androgenic alopecia is a genetically inherited condition that affects up to 60% of males by the age 50. Therefore, it’s symptoms will manifest based on genetic factors and not lifestyle choices. However, it is important for a sufferer of Androgenic Alopecia to understand that hair thinning caused by stress and depression will not do much to improve the condition of an already balding scalp.

The best way to reduce stress related hair loss is, of course, to reduce one’s stress. Spend more time outside or with friends and family, read a good book, take up skydiving.

Effective treatment of Male Pattern Baldness requires hair transplant surgery. A hair transplant may seem like a lot less fun than simply taking up a new hobby. However, you cannot reasonably expect to treat Androgenic Alopecia, a problem whose genetic causes precede your own birth, by mere lifestyle adjustments. The technology of hair transplant surgery has improved greatly over the last few decades and in the hands of a competent and experienced surgeon the results are priceless. It’s a good thing that we know one-

Dr. Yazdan and his attentive staff would like to explore 100% effective hair loss treatments with you. If you have any questions or concerns regarding stress related hair thinning or hair transplant surgery, please contact us at Modena Hair Institute today for more information.

Oils and Rogaine Are No Replacement for Hair Transplantation

June 11, 2021 admin Leave a comment

Perhaps you’ve heard about the benefits of applying moisturizing oils to your scalp in an effort to stop, reverse or prevent baldness? Now, it does seems like there could be something here, afterall we all know that clean and hydrated hair is healthy hair. Does this old folk remedy have any real efficacy and if not, what solutions are known to effectively treat hair loss?

Olive oil has been a staple of hair care since antiquity and a recent study has provided some intriguing support for its role in promoting healthy hair growth. The Department of Food and Nutrition at Yonsei University, South Korea, identified oleuropein as the hair-stimulating compound in olive oil. The topical application of olive oil (on rodent test subjects) did result in an increased rate of hair growth and follicle size.

Now, what does this mean for somone worried about a receding hairline?

As nice as it would be to simply be able to rub some oil onto your scalp and then suddenly regrow a full and youthful head of hair- things don’t quite work that way.

Technically speaking – It is certainly true that the application of topical oils may aid in improving the appearance of existing hair, however Androgenic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness (the most common cause of hair loss in men) is a genetic condition.

Applying salad dressing to your head is never going to rewrite your DNA. As a genetic condition Androgenic alopecia triggers bodily processes that progressive hair thinning and loss often culminating, in its final stages, in a large ‘horseshoe pattern’ ring of hair fringing an otherwise bald scalp.

On the subject of topically applied remedies – Rogaine foam, and other Minoxidil derivatives have been demonstrated in laboratory tests to be not only ineffective, but counterproductive in addressing hair loss. The use of various inactive ingredients such as preservatives, binding agents, texturisers, colors and scents also lead to many of these ‘wonder products’ unfortunate side effects such as itchy scalp, irritation, and aggravated hair loss to name some of the more common.

Moisturizing oils and Rogaine foam simply can not match the effectiveness, comprehensiveness and permanency of a hair transplant.

A hair transplant may seem more intimidating than the ease of treatment offered by a topically applied remedy, but, as the old adage goes – you get what you pay for. Investment in a quality hair transplant is never wasted and the results are yours for life.

Hair Transplants for Trans Men and Women

May 17, 2021 admin Leave a comment

For many people, the outward expression of their gender identity isn’t something they’ve ever put much thought into. If your physical appearance has always matched how you feel on the inside, it’s easy to understand why. For many trans men and women, however, it’s something they’ve had to think about their entire lives. At Modena Hair Institute, our goal has always been to help every single person who walks through our door look and feel their best—whatever that means to them.

We’ve specialized in hair transplants and non-surgical hair restoration techniques with the best available technology and the most compassionate team of experienced personnel you’ll ever meet. We know that transforming your appearance is a big decision for anyone to make, but it’s an especially important decision for many people in the trans community. No matter how you choose to express your gender identity, we’v helped thousands of men and women achieve some incredible results. Whether our patients are trans or cisgendered, our approach is always the same—focus on the hair. Here are a few things that anyone looking for a masculine or feminine appearance may want to consider when it comes to their hair.

Notable Female Characteristics

When compared to men, women traditionally have a much lower frontal hairline, a rounded hairline, and thicker hair throughout their scalp and crown. For anyone looking to achieve this look, we typically remove hair follicles one-by-one from the back and sides of the head (where hair is generally much thicker) and transplant them individually throughout any areas of temple recession and frontal hairline or crown thinning. This technique is called a Follicular Unit Excision (FUE). Dr. Amir Yazdan has pioneered this modern technique and employs cutting-edge instrumentation to execute surgeries that are as minimally invasive and painless as possible.

For our trans patients who have undergone gender reassignment surgery or take female hormones, common male hair loss patterns will, fortunately, slow down or stop completely. For those who choose not to go down that route but also want to keep as much of their hair as possible, we recommend taking topical solutions like minoxidil (Rogaine) or an orally administered daily medication like finasteride (Propecia). These non-surgical solutions help slow down hair loss and improve thinning hair.

Notable Male Characteristics

At the other end of the spectrum, men are commonly known to have receding and/or thinning hairlines whether they like it or not. So, if you’re after a more traditional male look and have a full head of hair, style it to your heart’s content! Another common characteristic found on many cis men is, of course, facial hair. For anyone hoping to achieve a beard, goatee, mustache or sideburns, no matter how thin or wispy their current facial hair is, a facial hair transplant can help deliver permanent, natural results. These transplants work very similar to hair transplants on your head. We move hair from the donor area (usually the back and sides of the head) to parts of the face where hair is missing. For our trans patients, this procedure has helped enhance the results of testosterone therapy alone. And don’t worry, the donor areas on your head won’t look any different than it did before the procedure. With approximately 100,000 hairs on the human head, your scalp won’t miss the 1,000+ needed to fill in facial hair.

We all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin, and thanks to modern advances in hair restoration, you can. Contact us for a thorough discussion about your best options. We can’t wait to set you on your journey of transformation.

‘I’m Literally Going Bald with Stress’

February 23, 2021 admin Leave a comment

Dr. Yazdan spoke with a young man on the phone this week who has concerns about his thinning hair. He is 33 years old and was very troubled about the diffused thinning on the back of his head and the growing thinness in his crown area, and he wanted to know if a hair transplant procedure would be the best solution for him.

Successful hair transplant surgery depends upon a multitude of factors, including how much hair the prospective patient has on their head at the time of surgery, as well as their age, and potential future hair loss. Only a specialist with years of experience can examine and track these various factors with clarity and tact.

In this young man’s case, one of the major determining factors was how much space there was between the existing hairs on the top of his head and the crown area where he is noticing thinning occurring. Why would this be a determining factor, some may ask? If there is significant gaps and spaces between his existing hairs, then hair transplant surgery may be a viable option. However, if the spacing and gaps between his existing hairs is very small, then hair transplantation could cause damage to the existing healthy hairs through a process known as shock loss.

While hair transplant surgery offers amazing hair restoration potential and excellent results, there is always the potential for post-operative ‘shock loss’ to the patients existing hair. Given the normal cycles of hair growth – anagen (hair growth), catagen (resting), and telogen (hair shedding) – any hair follicles that would normally continue to grow for a year or more will more than likely regrow following shock.

Hair follicles that genetically would normally stop growing within the next several months, or are in the telogen phase probably will not regrow. For this reason, an in-person hair and scalp analysis is necessary to determine the best course of action with respect to planning successful hair restoration on an individual patient-by-patient basis.

As such, during our private consultations we can determine how best to minimize and prevent post-operative shock loss. To explore the many advanced hair loss treatment and hair transplant options available to you, and learn more about our custom hair restoration procedures, we invite anyone to give us a call and speak to world-renowned hair restoration specialist, Dr. Amir Yazdan. At Modena Hair Institute in Orange County, Los Angeles and Las Vegas our goal is to help you find the perfect hair restoration solution to meet your own individual needs and make a well-informed decision about your hair restoration options.

Health Health: What is your Hair Telling You?

February 22, 2021 admin Leave a comment

Your hair is an important indicator of both external and internal health issues. Whether external skin issues or internal hormonal imbalances, hair thinning or hair loss is a direct sign that something is going on.

You should pay attention to how your hair feels, look and how easy it is to style. Often when hair symptoms point to larger and more prominent problems you shouldn’t avoid or ignore the possibility.

There is good news, these symptoms often can provide you with an easy view into what’s happening within your body early on which gives you the chance to take action before it gets worse.

One of the signs that something could be wrong is a change in the amount of hair you have. While thinning hair is not uncommon as most people lose from 50 to 100 strands each day, if you should notice your hair is thinning, it may be a good time to examine what may be causing it.

Hair restoration specialists know that one common reason for thinning hair as a symptom may be the presence of a hormone imbalance or autoimmune conditions. When the hormones in your body are not regulated it can affect the growth of your hair and how much hair you shed. Autoimmune diseases occur when your body’s own immune system begins to fight off its own cells. If your hair is thinning or shedding rapidly, it may be due to these key areas of concern.

Your hairs strength is also a good indicator of your health. If your hair is breaking or thinning or perhaps just not growing health strands then that is an indicator that there is an underlying problem. Breakage and thinning occurs when the hair follicles are not getting the nutrients they need to grow properly. The hair you get is less strong and prone to breakage. Why is this happening? There can be several reasons for it. The most common is the nutritional deficiency. What you eat really does have an impact on the way your hair looks and feels. Certain types of nutrients help your hair grow strong and healthy. Vitamins like D and B are necessarily for healthy hair and not getting enough of them can cause your hair to thin.

Finally, there are times that your hair may be communicating to you that there are very serious health problems going on. Hair loss that is significant can be an indication of high levels of stress, especially if you are losing hair in patches around your scalp. Hair thinning can be an indication of psychological stressors as well. Hair falling out in patches on the scalp may be an indicator for alopecia areata. Take a close look at any changes that occurred over the last couple of weeks or months and see if there is any correlation with things you have changed about your lifestyle, diet or living habits. If so, seeking out advice from a hair loss professional on treatments and therapies for hair loss prevention should be a top priority.

What is Hairline Lowering Surgery?

February 3, 2021 admin Leave a comment

While styling can help cover some of the surface area on the temple, the appearance of a large forehead can be a source of anxiety for many people. Having a hairline proportional to one’s facial features creates the most aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical appearance. Conversely, having an excessively broad forehead or a disproportionately high hairline can take a toll on one’s self-esteem.

Several reasons can cause a large forehead or a receding hairline, including heredity, hair loss, or prior surgery. However, the good news is that this condition can be addressed with a procedure commonly known as hairline lowering surgery.

Guide to Hairline Lowering Surgery

Hairline lowering surgery is typically performed with local anesthesia and intravenous sedation, and involves making an incision along the hairline and advancing it, lowering it by as much as 1.5 inches or more in a single procedure, removing the excessively high forehead skin.

The beauty of hairline lowering is in its unique and personal applicability. A new hairline will be tailored to the patient’s preferences and is often wavy to mimic a natural hairline.

The incisions are made in such a manner so that hair regrows through and in front of the eventual hairline scar making it virtually undetectable.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Most men and women with a high hairline and good skin elasticity can potentially be candidates for hairline lowering procedures. Since general anesthesia is required to complete this surgery, patients must be in good overall health to avoid complications. Individuals who have difficulties with abnormal scarring and wound healing may be encouraged to consider other options. The only way to find out if you are a candidate for forehead reduction surgery is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Amir Yazdan. During your appointment, your surgeon will perform a full medical evaluation, examine your hairline, discuss your concerns, and determine whether hairline lowering is the best option for your needs.

At Modena Hair Institute, we understand that surgical procedures may not be for everyone, and it is paramount to feel confident and comfortable with not only the process, but the surgeon of your choice. Do bountiful research prior making any decisions. Here at Modena, Dr. Yazdan personally performs each hair transplant in his Newport Beach, Beverly Hills and Las Vegas clinics, utilizing a dedicated team throughout the entire process. He is involved in every aspect of the procedure in order to ensure the best possible hair restoration results and is committed to performing only one surgery per day in order to provide patients with the undivided attention they deserve.

Dr. Yazdan Named One of the Top Hair Transplant Doctors in the World for Third Year

January 25, 2021 admin Leave a comment

Dr. Yazdan of Modena Hair Institute is honored to once again be numbered among the top hair transplant doctors in the world.

The ranking, published by Ape to Gentleman in an article called “The World’s Top 25 Hair Transplant Surgeons: 2021 Edition,” lists the best hair transplant doctors based on, among other factors:

Level of expertise
Years of experience
Level of artistic and technical skill
Patient advocacy

The article highlights the very niche work Dr. Yazdan has done for over a decade on African American, Asian and body hair transplantation. Hair transplantation is a highly niche and technical field of aesthetic surgery requiring long and careful experience. We are proud to see our technical accomplishments in the area of ethnic hair transplantation get recognized.

The author details that “a crucial element of my recommendations is that all the doctors listed support the message conveyed by the relevant standards and authorities in the field of hair restoration. These guys care about the industry and its ethics, integrity and quality of treatment…”

As the only IAHRS member in the Orange County and Las Vegas area, Dr. Yazdan’s acceptance into the society means that he has consistently upheld the highest ethical standards, carries exceptional surgical prowess and a visceral commitment to the art and science of hair transplantation.
