I mean, they’re not really wrong. The only way to stop balding is to never go through puberty. Futhermore, hair loss happens with age, as we slowly slink towards the grave. Minoxidil is a growth stimulant that doesn’t address the mechanisms for why we bald, it simply provides a cosmetic effect, which is what most […]

Do we have a fixed number of cycles before the hair stops growing? Hair cycles between the anagen (growth) and telogen (sleep) phases varies with age and sex. Young women have longer cycles than men. The older a man gets, the shorter the cycle is. The same may be true for women, but some women […]
Hello Dr Rassman, I was wondering if I could geta HT at 21, I’m on finasteride and minoxidil since 2 years (both oral) I have pretty much stabilised my hair loss and have gotten the maximum regrowth possible from these pharmaceutical treatments, I wonder can a HT be done so that I do not sacrifice […]
There seems to be a lot of different opinions floating around regarding it’s long term effectiveness … With consistent use, does it maintain it’s therapeutic effects, or does your genetically predetermined Norwood level eventually develop as you age despite taking it? I’ve seen some people state that it continues to have it’s effects for as […]
Do miniaturized hairs from AGA always end up dying of apoptosis? In other words, when the hairs from DHT susceptible follicles miniaturize, is it guaranteed that they will always end up falling out permanently and those follicles end up dying and not growing any new hair? Or can hair miniaturize and remain that way indefinitely […]
So somebody who continues to take finasteride and does not stop like in the example you gave, it will often continue to provide it’s benefits in retaining hair and won’t necessarily lose its effectiveness? Correct; however, hair has its own agenda with genetic codes for Apoptosis (cell hair suicide) which is delayed by finasteride but […]
My question is, can miniaturized hair stabilize? What I mean by that is usually miniaturized hair continues to shrink and get smaller and narrower with each growth cycle until it eventually falls out and stop growing altogether. But can miniaturized hair miniaturize or narrow to just a certain point and then stop/stabilize at that level […]
Whatever Norwood balding pattern a person might happen to develop, does every single hair follicle in those miniaturized/ balding zones eventually miniaturize, stop growing and leave those areas (ie the hairline, crown, etc) totally hairless? Or can there be some hairs in those zones that are DHT resistant and don’t ever fall out? It seems […]
My biggest shed was at the 1 year mark to the month and it looked way worse than baseline. Like I aged 15 years. Hair loss can not always to stopped with finasteride. Sometimes while taking finasteride, a man can go through hair loss acceleration. The genetics of Apoptosis is ingrained in each hair follicle […]
Not even a chronic masturbation addiction could effect any sort of hormone levels or anything? Please help I am trying to figure out what caused me to start balding so fast at 18 Hair follicles have a biologic clock that kicks in Apoptosis (cell death) in those men who have the genes for balding. I […]
I’ve never heard about AGA without miniaturization and with permanent telogen. How it’s even possible, what’s the underlying mechanism? Some researchers believe that starting off the anagen cycle may be part of the AGA problem. Some men who go into telogen and catagen just don’t then pick up their anagen cycle. This will produce hair loss […]
My question is; does finasteride and dutasteride lost effectiveness over-time in the body? Like, say in decades, would my body become used to dutasteride and it will lose its effectiveness and hair loss will resume or can I preserve my hair forever (until I’m a senior, theoretically) just from taking 0.5 mg of dut everyday […]
From what I’ve read, the underlying theory for advanced classes not responding as well is due to scalp fibrosis, however that is understood to be reduced by an increase of bloodflow and microneedling. If scalp fibrosis is the culprit as to why NW6~+ don’t respond as well then hypothetically in time, enough microneedling and enough […]
Hi doctor, i have few questions (not regarding your new treatment) am just little inquisitive about hair science with regard to Prolactin and genetic hair loss and have some questions regarding that I hope you answer Prolactin Inhibition of hair growth is reported to occur via catagen induction. This is an interesting question: Neurohormone mainly […]
Asking on behalf of my dad. He’s 61, and I just started microneedling and telling him about it. All he has is his sides and I’ve remembered him like that for as long as I can remember (I’m 24) He seems interested in trying it and I’m letting him borrow my pen. Is there any […]
