Listen "Hair Today, More Tomorrow: Hair Transplants with Dr. Kopelman"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Ross Kopelman, a hair transplant surgeon with offices in NYC and Palm Beach, gives a modern take on hair restoration, debunking myths and explaining what makes someone a good candidate. He stresses that medical therapy—not surgery—should be the first step in treating hair loss, with transplants as a supportive option once hair loss is stabilized.Surprisingly, about 50% of his transplant patients are women, many seeking treatment for widening parts rather than receding hairlines. Techniques like FUT, which don’t require shaving large areas, often work well for them.Dr. Kopelman also explains why young men with aggressive hair loss patterns may not be ideal candidates and breaks down the differences between FUE and FUT methods. The transplant process itself is a detailed, team-driven effort lasting 5–7 hours, focused on achieving natural-looking results.Check out Dr. Kopelman's work, and more about him and his practice here: https://kopelmanhair.com
