This woman reported hair loss in the frontal area (see pictures) about 2 months after she had a hairline lowering surgical procedure. These procedures are common surgeries for women who can have their hairlines lowered about an inch directly by advancing the scalp forward and surgically removing the upper forehead. The good news about this […]

When a man with genetic hair loss develops hair loss due to stress, they often find that it does not come back after the stress reverses. For men on the drug finasteride, the stress effects on the hair loss can be offset by the drug. For women, it is another story as their hair loss cycles in […]
I now have a few areas of white scalp which I can see coming from where the hair fell out. Will it grow back? Dyes can be dangerous when they are improperly used and you most likely had a chemical burn from inappropriately used dyes which goes deep below the skin to kill the hair […]
I have had multiple surgeries and my hair has thinned considerably. I am 24 years old and am taking birth control pills. My doctor told me to take Rogaine, but I continue to have a very see through hair. Female genetic loss can be accelerated and presented as thinning hair with any stress and surgery […]
I have hesitation in prescribing finasteride in women who are pre-menopausal because of the risk of pregnancy which may be an unexpected or unplanned pregnancy. There is a direct relationship between this drug and sexual anatomies in the fetus
Minoxidil is commonly used world-wide a an inexpensive solution to hair loss and it seems to work for men and women. Minoxidil was originally used for the treatment of high blood pressure but it was not a reliable drug for this purpose. When used for the treatment of hair loss, it can reverse the hair […]
Wind does not cause hair loss other than the fact it may blow away falling hair. Hair loss in men in most cases is due to genetic male pattern balding. Hair loss occurs in a pattern (thus the term). If your theory of the windy city (Chicago) is true, you would see more bald men […]
It didn’t know there was a NW 1 classification. Many non balding men and women have fine miniaturized or vellus hairs on the leading edge of the hair line. This does not mean you are balding. There is no way to determine if you are going bald based on these things. If you see a […]
Propecia is only for the treatment of androgenic alopecia in almost exclusive men. It has no effect on other types of hair loss and no effect on most women. Hair loss from stress is not androgenic alopecia.
Shampoos and washing your hair does not cause hair loss in general. In men genetic traits (androgenic alopecia – male pattern balding) causes hair loss. In women hair loss can also be genetic or hormonal (example: menopause). Shampoos have ingredients that can irritate the skin/ scalp in some people and that can be an issue, […]
A recent paper published in “Perspectives on Psychological Science” indicates that people who spend less time alone and are less socially isolated might live longer and this has been found to hold in all ages of people. The study was done at Brigham Young University analyzing 3 million participants from a variety of health groups. […]
Early cancer detection is terrific if you have an aggressive cancer that can kill you, such as lung, bowel or breast cancer. But there are cancers that are present in your body (everyone has them) that may never grow into aggressive cancers. We know this because, for example, most men over the age of 50, […]
Sebum is a waxy substance from the production of oil from your sebaceous glands. It can be seen on ends of hair follicles that fall out but this does not mean you have a hair loss condition or disease process (because of the sebum). There are products that claim better control of sebum and Internet […]
The treatment of women’s hair loss must be approached differently than hair loss in men, as most women rarely lose all of the hair in a pattern as men do. In fact, much of the hair remains, but the thickness of the hair shaft becomes smaller than normal hair and the density of each follicular […]
I am not sure where you would read I rarely perform hair line lowering. It is rather a common request. Each and every patient and case is different and hair line lowering is a normal request for both men and women. After all, hair restoration surgery is an elective cosmetic surgery. If one wants to […]
