Is shock loss more likely for fut or fue? Or does it not make a difference? Is fut better if somebody is willing to do multiple surgeries throughout their life? Or is fut preferable in that case? Thanks. Shock loss impacts both strip surgeries and FUE in the same manner. Shock loss usually affects the miniaturized […]

Had a 2200 FUE with a US-based surgeon 2 months ago. Mostly hairline and frontal/mid scalp. I was a moderate diffuse thinner before and you could easily see my scalp from the side. I have been on Min for 8 years and Fin for 1.5 years. Fin halted my thinning but I really havent seen […]
I can’t tolerate finasteride or even topical finasteride. So I got a hair transplant and now found that I lost a lot of hair from shock loss within the past month. You were in a difficult place and I appreciate the problem. The price of shock loss vs the price of loss of your sex […]
Everyone is shitting on this guy for not taking fin but then. Dr. William Rassman writes a lot about successful transplants with no finasteride. What are your thoughts Hair transplants can be done without finasteride; however, native miniaturized hairs often fall out (a condition called shock loss). The older a man is, the less the […]
“men over 40 often don’t need finasteride with a hair transplant” That is interesting. I had not heard that before. What is the reason for this? Most men at 40, have lost their miniaturized hairs and are not actively losing hair, so shock loss is unusual in men over 40 unless they are actively losing hair […]
The way you will find out is to give it some time. Shock loss will usually reverse in under 6 months while permanent changes will not
I’ve had intense shock loss that seems to have accelerated the balding; I’m now noticeably thin much farther up my hairline than pre-op. There’s minimal growth and this past week the native shed accelerated. Shock loss usually occurs in men under 35 and only on the first surgery because it kicks out miniaturized hairs. If […]
I’m a 26 yr old male, had a HT about 1.5 months ago here in the states. 2500grafts (500 in crown, rest into hairline). I wasn’t on fin at the time however started immediately after the surgery (1mg daily). I’m experiencing major shedding on the top of my head, like my pillow is covered in […]
i’ve seen you comment in several hair loss posts so i wanted to reach out. next week i will be 5months post FUE and i’ve noticed shock loss in the front near my hair line for the past several months. at what point could i expect to see the hair start to regrow? it currently […]
If you are over 30, the risks of shock loss after a hair transplant decrease with each year over 30, so a 35 year old will have significantly less risk of shock loss than a 30 year old, and 40 even better. This is because the miniaturization that is present in younger men, is significantly […]
It doesn’t make sense to lose hair in the crown when I got a hair transplant in the front not the crown. The anesthesia alone can cause shock loss even if you haven’t done any hair transplants in the crown. If you were taking finasteride, it probably would not have happened as finasteride protects against […]
From my understanding hair that falls out due to shock loss usually grows back (in the recipient area) unless the hair is weak and almost ready to not grow again (which is usually right next to the area of transplantation) . So my question is since you can remove hair follicles could you remove the […]
Hi all, I am recovering from shock loss on my frontal hairline – 7 months post hair transplant. When I stand very close to a mirror, under light, I see many fine, thin, hair sprouting from the shock loss area. When I stand farther away, the hairs cannot be seen and my shock loss area […]
I also experienced shock loss behind the native grafts (even with using Fin before, during, and still on now as a preventative measure). I think this hair is growing back, but there is still significant shock loss apparent. Online I’ve seen reports that shock loss hair should come back anywhere from 3, 6, 9, to even a […]
I am a candidate for a hair transplant but i don’t want to use finasterade or minoxidil. A surgeon told me that the transplanted hair would create a shock loss to my existing hair and speed up hair loss. Is this true? What happens in shock loss? When you have a hair transplant, the native […]
