Miniaturization Mapping on the East Coast?

Hello Dr.,

I read your post on mapping the scalp for miniaturization. I have been to several hair clinics, and no one provides the type of service you are describing. (mapping the scalp for miniaturization, and taking microscopic photos) I wish I could visit your office to get this type of service, where i could gauge my progress on propecia. But it is across the country.

Is there anyone in my area (NJ/NY/PA) that you know of that provides this service? I saw you recommend Dr. Berstein several times on this site, but i have visited him already, and he definitely does not do this.

I don’t understand why others don’t do it. One does not have to take pictures, just make an assessment of the degree of miniaturization by the anatomy of the scalp. I am sure Dr. Bernstein examined your hair with the densitometer, which is a manually held instrument and can give the exact same information. I have spoken with him about doing a more formal mapping of the hair for miniaturization and he has agreed that if you ask for it, he will do it.
