Can Shock Loss Be Permanent?

Hello Doctor

I have a question for shock loss after an HT procedure. You always say that healthy hair (not miniaturized hair that MPB did not so far affect and neither will in the future ) lost due to shock loss should come back after a few months ( even without the use of propecia ? ) Why do you use the word ‘should’ and not the word ‘will’? Is there a chance that shock loss could make healthy hair permanently die , and if so what is that chance ? Let’s of course exclude the case that the transplant doctor makes mistakes and accidently scars the healthy follicles.

The use of the word “should” rather than “will” is a way of predicting the future. Let’s not play language games here. Shock loss, when it occurs in men with genetic hair loss, can (not “will”) accelerate the hair loss process by a few years and this can (again, not “will”) be prevented with the use of Propecia (finasteride 1mg). Each person is different, and as such, each person reacts differently to various drugs, procedures, stresses, etc.
