I am one of Marilyn's few male patients that she has treated over the years, as normally Marilyn only takes females as patients. Marilyn made an exception for me, based on my rather unique situation. Since age 16 I have had a large scar on my head that literally goes from my ears all the way around the top of my head, like an arc. The scar was caused due to a traumatic event and I've been very self-conscious about the scar for the last twenty-five years. I look best with short hair but I've always had my hair cut longer on the sides of my my head to camouflage the scar as much as possible. Before seeing Marilyn I thought my only option was hair transplant surgery--something I've not been able to afford. And scar tissue only has a 50% success rate for transplanting.
I've had four derma-rolling procedures done so far and the results have been amazing. In addition to the treatments done my Marilyn (at her office) I have also been doing derma-rolling at home using a derma-roller tool that Marilyn supplied me with for my ongoing home treatments. Also--per Marilyn's instructions--I regularly use Rogaine on my scar tissue. I am thrilled to say that since I first saw Marilyn my scar tissue has been smoothed-out significantly and throughout my scar tissue there are new hair follicles growing. I will forever be grateful to Marilyn for what she's done for me, as no doctor/specialist I've ever talked to about my scar recommended any treatment options that gave me any hope.
