Amazing results for just three years. Just keep your fingers crossed that these results stay over time. This man is now 30 years old.
I began using fin (1mg) today and want to avoid sexual side effects. Do you recommend starting out by taking it only a few times a week then progressively taking it more often until it’s 1mg per day? I saw you’re comment saying that this is a reasonable strategy to avoid side effects
Generally, since the risk of sexual side effects is less than 4%, it is best start at a full dose. If you are the 1:25 people, then change to the routine I referenced in a previous post.
According to what I read regarding Male pattern Baldness It is a problem of Hair Follicles being sensitive to DHT rather than excessive DHT.
What does this really mean?
How did I develop this condition?
Is there any way to reverse this sensitivity?
If not then why aren’t researchers and scientists working on it?
Why is it so that DHT gets attached to my scalp follicles more than other parts of my body like my face?
Does DHT lead to bone growth?
Note: I’m losing hair and I have a receding hairline and I’m thinning on the top. I still don’t have a proper beard.
DHT is a trigger in people who have the genes for balding. Each hair on your head has a life cycle (usually 3 years) and it sheds and regrows over and over again, unless, it has a limit genetically set on how many cycles you get. Some men (in the balding areas) have limits on these cycles, so when that limit is hit, the hairs miniaturize and eventually fall out. Finasteride slows this process down and is the ONLY medication available that is known to work.
When a man loses hair the blood flow to the scalp reduces, not the other way around. Reduced blood flow occurs when the need for oxygen and nutrients goes away with progressive balding. This is because there is less hair growth and the hair is the second highest use of blood flow to the brain.
So just a quick question Parents both have full heads of hair and only 1 great grandfather died bald. I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle and am probably even on the obese side. Does any of this have an effect on hair? I’ve been for a couple months now and it wasn’t until today that it finally started to affect my hairline. Fullness is basically gone. Will working out help?
The scalp has a very rich blood flow. Hair loss is not caused by inadequate blood flow. Hair loss is genetic. As the hair is lost, the body diverts the blood away from the hair as the hair volume reduces. We know this because when we put hair transplants into a bald area that had reduced its blood supply, the blood supply returns proportional to the hair we put back in.
I have a very square hairline along with a large forehead. I have heard that a forehead reduction can lower the hairline but that hair transplants would be needed as well to round the hairline out. Is it possible to round out the hairline with just a forehead reduction (by taking the forehead down/in more on the sides)?
This can only be created with a hair transplant. A hairline reduction surgery can lower it but not round it. I wrote a chapter in a bood on this subject here: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/phenotype-article-published.pdf
Yes, you can transplant over an SMP area or the entire head, if that is what you did.
This man worried through the entire growth phase of his new hair growth until one day he looked into the mirror and saw himself as shown here. I always tell patients that you can’t watch your hair grow like you can’t really watch the grass grow, yet one day you step back and see a green lawn when you planted the seeds correctly just like a good hair transplant that just appears perfectly normal. What is important to note is the hairline, which is not a line, but a subtle zone before the thicker hair from the transplant fills in behind this transition zone which is made of irregularly placed single hair grafts (about 400 in this man).
From these photos I took off of the internet, the suggestion is that the virus was in Bats, frogs or snakes eaten by people in China. Then the Virus mutated to spread similar to many of the Flu viruses which propagate through saliva and our breadth. We breath out the virus and spread it before it becomes symptomatic and that is what is dangerous about this particular virus (we don’t know who has it for a few days until symptoms appear). Some people will almost certainly be carriers of the virus, never developing symptoms which is not atypical for this type of virus. UPDATE as of 21/29/2020 Recent reports indicate that the incubation period is 3 days from exposure to symptoms.
Finasteride gets its peak results in 18 months, although many people see the hair loss slow or stop in a few months
I think most micropigmentation looks silly and fake. I don’t understand why anyone would make that shit as dark as they do. Even the stuff that looks reasonable i hate. WHat happens if someone feels your head, expecting peach fuzz, but OH WAIT that’s your goshdang scalp. It’s a joke. I think the absolute best micropigmentation work I have seen is the incomplete phase, where the hairline is light, the color is light. It looks like hair COULD grow there, but you’ve shaved your head completely. Kratos from the new God Of War has a head that looks bald, but if you look very very closely, you can see that he shaves.
I also would NOT want a perfect hairline, that makes it look even more cartoonish and atrocious . Anyways, any pigment people that do this kind of stuff?
I teach Scalp Micropigmentation at international conferences for doctors every year, and have written many journal articles on it. Here is a video from one of my patients: https://baldingblog.com/newhiar-medical-patients-speaks-about-scalp-micropigmentation/ Additionally, here is one of the articles I wrote, which you should read because it will educate you about this process: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Journal-of-clinical-and-aesthetic-surgery-Article.pdf
But is there anyone in Southeast US willing to do transplants on 17 year old? I have nothing good going for me, I’m not responding to Minox and my dermatologist refused me finasteride so I’m fucked, I tried Nizoral and it didn’t do much, both of my temples are thin but my right temple is missing and the skin seems somewhat scarred for no reason, my hair is so thin at the sides that I can actually see my scalp and so can make out it’s cracked texture. Is there anything I can do until then?
Please don’t look for a hair transplant at 17. This could be the worst mistake you can ever do. If you keep looking, you will find a sleazy doctor to do it and you will regret the decision for the rest of your life.
100 hair/day shed is normal for many people. Any shed from Finasteride and Minoxidil will stop over the first few months, so stick to your routine.
I believe that you developed late onset genetic hair loss. If you are smart, you would get advice from an expert doctor in the field of hair loss
I wrote the original article on Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and yes, a hair transplant should never be done if you have this condition. However, too many young men assume that they have DUPA, and that is wrong. Get the diagnosis confirmed by an expert like me with microscopic examination of the donor area and a metric on the degree of miniaturization present in the donor area. The picture below cannot, without such a miniaturization analysis, arrive at a DUPA diagnosis.
