https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6026438/ Although Recycling transplanted hair is a reasonable technology, the need for this obscures the fact that to move it means that it may have been done wrong in the first place. Doing it right is better than doing it wrong and then having to move the hair as this article shows.
Many readers ask about the morphology of their hairs falling out and how it relates to Male Pattern Balding. We can lose about 100 hairs a day and the morphology of each hairs are variable. The miniaturized hairs are skinny and thinner as the hairs may be going into the telogen phase. Some hairs that […]
You are essentially correct. As it miniaturizes, hair becomes thinner and eventually ceases to regrow. Note the diagram on this page to see what miniaturization looks like in various stages.
A non-balding person can lose 100 to 200 hairs a day. These hairs can be thick or thin, miniaturized or non-miniaturized. The good news is there are likely 100 to 200 new hairs growing at other areas of the scalp. You cannot say miniaturized hairs represent hairs that are destined for baldness. It may just […]
Finasteride has a very short half life. If you have a leaking bucket, and it dripped slowly and you decided to stop the drip for every other day, it would just take longer for the bucket to empty, but it will eventually empty. Think of your hair as the bucket full of water, dripping out […]
The published information on hair regrowth from Propecia is best documented in the crown. I am convinced that there are good results in the frontal area behind the hairline in people your age (under 26) with recent hair loss or hair thinning. You must stay the course. Yes, it can work earlier, but it will […]
Steroids can get absorbed through skin if being used on a large area of body surface, or if they are used with occlusive dressings. In these situations, the blood steroid level may go up and it will cause suppression of the adrenal gland. Steroids that are being used for autoimmune diseases like psoriasis shouldn’t affect […]
I never suggested that ethanol be used. I generally do not like to recommend anything except for the FDA prescribed dose for finasteride, but have shown information that is reflective of my educated readership. If you want to drink vodka, I would tell you that you should do what you want, but do not tie […]
Ive had pretty lame results with minox only the past 8 months so I decided to add microneedling a month ago (.75m once a week with .3mm for topicals 2x a week). Ive been having a pretty big shed as a result and dont know if this is a sign to stay on. I did […]
I’m writing this because, I keep finding contrasting opinions about microneedling Since scientific papers have already proven the efficacy of this therapy, especially when combined with other treatments, my main questions are related to depth and frequency, Is the recommended depth of needles 1.5mm, 1mm, or even lower than that? Some people say the frequency […]
Microneedling produces benefits because it creates a wound in the upper part of the dermis where stem cells exist. The wound starts a healing cascade that stimulates these stem cells that may control hair cycling. This is not a blood flow problem, as you are suggesting; however, if evidence comes forward that ultrasound makes a […]
If I have a more painful microneedling session, I seem to get quite a bit of baby hair growth pretty quick. I’ve even switched to doing a session every other week instead of weekly so I can go the extra mile. I use 1.5mm needle on Dr.Pen. Have you seen this? I was previously dermarolling […]
What’s the consensus about microneedling/dermarolling without using minoxidil? Does it help or is it just a waste of time (and tears)? Microneedling works on its own. Recognize that it works by creating a wound near the stem cells in the upper part of the hair follicle that may control hair cycling. It produces a healing cascade […]
I see a lot of people who use derma rolling/stamping. Creating small holes in my head feels like it mainly creates damage. Can somebody explain me what it is used for and how it should improve the hair situation? Reddit posted a full ‘How to Do Microneedling’ here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/wiki/microneedling/ When microneedling is done correctly (controlled […]
