See the recent post, Is an FUE Procedure a Less Successful Hair Transplant?, which shows that if the quality of the extracted grafts are good, the end result will be the same for FUE or traditional strip surgery. Many FUE grafts are less than ideal, so there might be a difference if the extracted grafts […]

There are two pictures, one of the back of the head and the other magnified. The magnified picture shows an arrow pointing out the only normal non-miniaturized hair in this man’s donor area. If this man was to be transplanted (a dishonest or incompetent doctor might do this) they would make him balder and scarred […]
I had one small spot of alopecia areata on the back of my head 3 years ago at 32 years old, it resolved with a steroid shot. I do have it on my face and it resolves periodically without treatment. Right now I have DPA but almost my hair is intact, just generally thin throughout […]
Yes, Keratosis Pilaris is a benign condition and it is harmless. Some people describe these bumps as ‘goosebumps’. If it produces itchiness and dryness it can be treated with lotions and lanolin. If the appearance of these bumps bothers you, soften your skin with lotions. Treatment can ease the symptoms and help you see clearer skin and have less […]
There is no association that I know of with hair loss and chronic antibiotic use with or without finasteride.
We always advocate having a Master Plan made, which means you need a consultation with a doctor. I do not know the future of hair restoration technology, but a hair transplant surgery would not be a contraindication to any future developments. That is, unless you end up with a bad hair transplant surgery… so choose […]
There is no contraindication to an outpatient surgery (such as a hair transplant procedure) for patients with WPW. Moreover, if you were diagnosed with WPW in your teenage years, I would assume you have had it treated with ablation. If you were not treated with ablation, I would think you should be followed by a […]
Telogen effluvium could be a contraindication for hair transplants if the process is still going on. A visit to my office is critical before any conclusions be drawn. I would want to do a pull test and measure your hair for miniaturization and bulk. That will help me confirm your active diagnosis.
1. A nicotine patch can be worn while you take finasteride. I don’t know of any contraindication. 2. Hair shedding after starting Rogaine happens, but not very frequently in the patients who I have seen that use it. The good news is that the shedding doesn’t last forever and rarely, if ever, produces permanent hair […]
It is best to use minoxidil twice a day. The 5% is stronger than the 2% mixture, with the 5% usually referred to as “extra strength”. The application instructions will be listed on the packaging. If you can not or will not use the oil based minoxidil, use the foam (with its alcohol base it […]
Your question is a good one, but firstly, I’ve never used the age of 35 as a minimum requirement. I will readily transplant any man if: They have a hair loss pattern that is clear and bald. For example, a 22 year old Norwood Class 3 pattern patient who has lost his corners or his […]
Your email raises good questions that haven’t been asked here before, but I wish I had answers for you. Any answers to your questions would not have the proper data that can be depended upon. I would suspect that the amount of time exposed to the LLLT is not sufficient for the problems you are […]
This 24 year old man presented to my office today with hair falling out. He has been on Propecia for 9 months. Upon examination I made the following observations: His hair density was low all over the scalp. He is losing substantial amount of neck hair disproportionally to other hair. He has miniaturization in the […]
This is certainly a big news story this week, but for those that haven’t followed it, please read the following links: CNN – Autopsy planned for Kanye West’s mom Wired – American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery President Discusses Kanye West’s Mom’s Death What is there to say that the above references did not already say?

Hair fungus itself can also cause hair loss. There are many drugs that may cause hair loss as a rare side effect, but they do not cause androgenic alopecia (AGA) or male pattern balding (MPB). You and your doctor should understand the risks and rewards of this drug. It is worth reading the following site […]
