Unusual long hair surgery experiment

"Dr. Shapiro planted actual long hairs on my head and with AFR my long hair is still there after 6 weeks. It didn't shock and it's still growing. How amazing is that! And my other hair is growing in too, faster than I expected. AFR is light years ahead of the other hair transplant procedures out there. If you would like to meet with me in person just call the office and I would be happy to show off the results." - Katherine H., Fort Lauderdale

This case is particularly exciting!

We put in some long hairs to see if they would fall out and go dormant. Normally the strip is shaved and the hair follicles are implanted. We see that 6 weeks after the procedure the long hair is still there with AFR. This is a huge finding!! At 6 weeks the hair would have fallen out already. We will continue to follow this patient. For all the latest in Hair Transplantation please stay tuned..........

Clinical study patient 20 - Before & After Hair transplant with no shock at six weeks in long-hair surgery using AFR program.



Central to Dr. Shapiro's unique AFR program is his Help Hair Shake. His new book, Fight Hair Loss and Win! documents the discovery of this program, the clinical study to validate his discovery, and more facts about hair loss and lifestyle factors that will help you slow or prevent your own hair loss.


The results of using the AFR program was tested with about 100 patients who were reporting hair loss, some of whom had been using whey protein isolates and other products for weight loss or body building. Nearly all the subjects (94%) noticed some improvement in their hair's appearance after following the program for at least 4 weeks, with a score of 6 or higher in each category: healthy, shiny, less hair loss, less hair breakage, stronger, longer, grew faster, bouncier, fuller and thicker). The mean score for all categories ranged from 7.5 to 7.8, with a mean overall score of 7.7. Overall, 62% of participants noticed significant improvement, giving a score of 8 or higher.

So, it is not too surprising that we discovered that the AFR program has tremendous benefit for those receiving hair transplant surgery, by by-passing or significantly reducing the dormancy period which 'normally' follows hair transplant surgery.

Meet these patients in person or any of the patients who have had procedures with AFR.

Note: Results will vary based on number of sittings, hair texture, color, density, the number of grafts performed and placement of the grafts and the amount of hair loss the patient has prior to the sitting.
Hair transplants are permanent but will not stop the progression of normal hair loss.
Although we have had good results we cannot guarantee that your hair transplant will grow in the accelerated time even with AFR. This information is considered anecdotal evidence based on reports by the patient at the time of follow up. Double blind studies are currently going to be done by one or more of our 15 worldwide AFR clinics. Proper usage of the Help Hair Shake and Low Anabolic Profile assure optimal results.
