I am 14 months into finasteride (20M) and still shed a lot of small/ medium hairs a day. I started minox and Microneedle for the temples 3 weeks ago. My scalp is itching a lot as well. I am in doubt about starting Dutasteride since I am 20 years old. Can somebody please give some […]

https://news.sky.com/story/scientific-breakthrough-could-help-develop-new-hair-loss-treatments-12726195 This is a big breakthrough because now with this technique, we can study drugs and their impact on hair cycling. Hopefully, we can grow genetically impacted hairs for balding and see what it takes to reverse the balding process with greater ease
The range where these stem cells are more heavily concentrated is the area between 0.5 and 1.5mm (Click on photo to enlarge). If the needles get into this area, they will produce internal injuries to the fat in this area and that starts the cascade that induces stem cell response. I labeled it “Cycling Stem […]
Indeed, but this decrease in testosterone over the years does not seem to have an affect on the amount of hair loss, which is somewhat counterintuitive. Not at all. Genetic hair loss has ingrained in each follicular unit of the scalp, a biological clock that limits how many growth cycles it has. The fewer the […]
I started out 1.5mm, but now I’m concerned about scar tissue. I’ve heard 0.6mm might be better, but the redness goes away pretty fast. I started out doing once-a-week needling, but then I’ve seen people who did it twice a week at a lower depth followed by minoxidil that had great results Microneedling depth should be […]
By the normal 20% or below miniaturization, does this include long terminal hairs that are thinner than normal ones? Dr. Parsa Mohebi refers to this normal level of miniaturization as “recycling follicles” so these normally cycling miniaturized hairs come back as normal terminal ones eventually? Miniaturized hairs generally don’t grow as long as normal terminal […]
When will all of my hairs leave me bald? The average scalp loses 100 hairs per day and regrows 100 hairs per day to keep the number of hairs on the head constant. The cycle determines how many hairs are lost per day. 365 Days * 100 hairs *3 years is the average cycle in […]
Is it possible for someone to get a transplant basically without affecting follicles that may be able to be saved still on the hair line without damaging them? I have a very diffuse hairline and am wondering if a good hair transplant doc could like weave transplant hairs in with the current for extra thickness. […]
If I say on the minoxidil, will my body hair keep growing longer, like 10 cm? That is scary… Body hair rarely grows that long because it undergoes telogen at about 6-8 months and falls out, only to regrow after. Telogen is the sleep phase and in all hair follicles go through it. These body […]
I am beginning to notice a trend of accelerated hair loss during certain times of the year, particularly in the winter months. I’m from western Pennsylvania and as such we experience all four seasons, with winters fluctuating from brutal to mild all in the same season. I’ve noticed that my hair looks much more thicker […]
I know how it works chemically. I mean in practice. I’ve been on finasteride for 4.5 months now and haven’t noticed any regrowth and my hair is starting to shed quite a bit again. I obsess over this every day and it’s destroyed my confidence. My hair is about an inch long right now so i think […]
Female hair loss, unlike male hair loss, is rarely complete and most people believe that these hairs are still there, possibly cycling irregularly or poorly? When some new drug is discovered, we may find that the hairs that are not there, will appear.
I am a 20 year old male who is worried about some hair loss at the neckline/nape of the neck region. I currently do not have any signs of balding in the crown or the hairline. But for some reason, every time I pull on the sides of the neck hairline, one or two tapered hairs […]
I have long contended that hair loss in humans was asynchronous, which means that it occurs equally throughout the year; however the article below suggests otherwise, that hair loss may be seasonal. I am not sure from reading this what the article refers to. Are we talking about the normal cycling of the hair that goes […]
We just got the most up-to-date laser hair removal system in our office (The Laser Vectus System) and I stepped up to the plate as one of the earliest patients with this very new technology. My target was my back hair, my neck hair and most significantly my ear hair. I am sure you can […]
