Do I have DUPA? (photos)
Yes, most of the hairs in the donor area shown are miniaturized but a few are thicker showing the comparison from normal to miniaturized hairs where the miniaturized hairs exceed 20% by a large margin. To demonstrate the normal hairs, I placed an arrow next to them and as you can see there are only 5 hairs that have a normal thickness, the rest of miniaturized. That is how the diagnosis is made. It is always better to evaluated the hairs when they are cut shorter than sent here by this patient so it is easier to count both miniaturized hairs and normal terminal hairs.
