It sounds like you experienced shock loss and if this is in the miniaturized hair, the hair may not come back. Treating thinning with transplants is not something I do often. In many people with miniaturized hair, transplanting into that ‘unhealthy’ hair does little to really increase the fullness. I believe that for most people […]

Generally after a surgery with the small wounds we create, I tell the patient that they can engage in full aerobics within 5-7 days after the surgey and can even run a marathon at a week. Chin-ups, push ups, and sit-ups are out for about 6 weeks in order to avoid stress on the neck […]
If you have lost hair secondary to a cosmetic surgery procedure, it would be worthwhile to determine if you have female genetic hair loss as a cause. Some women with hair loss from a face or brow lift may lose hair without the genetic propensity for it. By mapping our your scalp hair for miniaturization […]
Massages do not cause wrinkles in the forehead, nor will exercising the forehead muscles make that happen. You may be thinking about what I said when a person is trying to find out where their hairline was when they were youths. Wrinkling the forehead will produce a line at the top of the forehead muscles […]
The answer is, “It depends.” If you have genetic female hair loss (which actually usually maintains the frontal hairline in women) shock loss is possible and when it occurs in women, it is rarely permanent. If you are trying to lower your hairline because you have had a forehead/brow/face lift then hair transplants work very […]
There are some promising studies out there about low laser light therapy treatments for hair loss. There is still, however, a need for better and more appropriate science to back up claims that this therapy can actually grow hair. I’ve written about lasers many times before on this blog, such as here, here, and here. […]
The miniaturized follicles would be at risk, but Propecia would definitely minimize that risk. Propecia has been shown to decrease the incidence/degree of shock loss and protect the existing native hair and for that reason I generally recommend it. Incidentally, transplanted hair is already naturally resistant to shock loss and very few patients find that […]
Shock loss occurs when pre-existing hair is shed after hair transplant. This event occurs mostly in patients who are younger (often less than 30 years old) and a first time surgery patient. Although this event does occur with men who are on Propecia, it is more common for the young men not on the drug. […]
Shock hair loss is unusual in women who receive a hairline lowering procedure, provided that they do not have female genetic hair loss. For a doctor near you, you might want to locate a good plastic surgeon in your area and check out his/her experience with the procedure or look to the physician search at […]
Hair transplant shock (shock loss) is often prevented in men of your age by Propecia, so you have done the right thing by taking it. The shock loss can be permanent if the hair that is lost was in the balding zone. When it occurs and impacts hairs in the balding area in men, the […]
Here’s 2 related shock loss questions… As a general rule, shock loss with a man on Propecia has a high possibility of reversal. Shock loss usually occurs in the first 3-4 months after a transplant and reverses in 5-7 months. Hair loss after that time may be from other causes, including acceleration of the genetic […]
In the interest of keeping things as private as possible, I have removed the Doctor’s name from this email I received… I have had an opportunity to review your questions and photographs. For our general audience who are reading this, I will summarize the salient points. You appeared to have a large surgical session with […]
I weighed around 85-86kg before this, and now, two weeks and two days later from the initial depression episode starting, ended two days ago, I weigh around 80-81kg apparently according to the scales. I am concerned, thats alot of weight to lose in such a short time. It is different with different people, but 15 […]
Shock loss is a hair loss process that accelerates immediately after getting a hair transplant. It usually occurs in the first 4 months after the surgery. Generally, Propecia will protect against most post-surgical hair loss from shock and it should be taken for a period to discuss with your doctor. The longer you take it, […]
I have not heard of this Yunsey hair loss shock treatment. From my brief search on the internet it seems to contain “Hydrolyzed Soya Protein” and “Herbs Extract”, which I doubt to be effective in preventing hair loss.
