This is classic DUPA (photo)
Yes, this is a classic look of the magnified donor area that you want to see with 50% or more miniaturized hairs. We actually classify DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) once the miniaturized significantly exceeds 20%. Most DUPA patients have much higher miniaturization in the donor area and elsewhere on the scalp. The single best treatment is the drug finasteride which is less than 50% effective at controlling the progression and less effective at reversing the process. I don’t know of anyone who has reversed the process with any treatment.
