Miniaturization Mapping After Hair Treatments

I think that mapping for miniaturization, “mini mapping”, is a great idea, nevertheless, this raises a very pertinent question: Can miniaturization be accurately diagnosed if drugs such as Propecia, Avodart, and / or minoxidil have been successful in treating MPB since these drugs may have thickened the hair, thereby making the once thin hairs look more like larger terminal hairs. Thank you for your time as this blog must be quite time consuming.

Measuring miniaturization of hair is a great way to quantify the change of your scalp hairs’ health over time It is obviously best to record the degree of miniaturization before a treatment is started, but it is never too late. If you have access to mapping your scalp hair for miniaturization, then it is my opinion to have it done to keep a record of your current state of hair health. Progressive deterioration or improvement can be measured giving you an idea where you are heading.

You are correct in stating that a successful treatment for male pattern baldness should reverse some or all of the miniaturization. The more successful the treatment, the better the assurance that you are on the correct path. Wouldn’t be nice if, for example, if you had 80% miniaturization in the crown before treatment and then after treatment it dropped to 30%?
