DUPA is Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia while DPA is Diffuse Patterned Alopecia which is often associated with genetic balding. DPA in men, can be treated with finasteride which is probably the best known drug for this condition. DUPA is not the same entity, but sometimes it does respond to finasteride making it, on occasion, slightly improved. […]

Scalp micropigmentation might work to make you look fuller. You can try it with longer hair or shave your head and look bold (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/). Beard hair doesn’t make for a good hairline and body hair would be very, very expensive. I would be happy to speak with you if you send me your phone number […]
I would like to have a HT in the future when my diffuse thinning on top gets really bad, but I don’t know if I have DUPA, is it possible to see from photos from my iphone? To make the diagnosis, buy a hand microscope from Amazon ($30 range) and then get photos like these […]
Look at the arrows pointing to the miniaturized hairs. The diagnosis is determined when the miniaturized count significantly exceeds 20% of the total hairs. That is not the case here, so I can assume that you do not have DUPA. I hope you are relieved.
This is a very impressive post. Dr. Lorenzo (Spain) is using beard hair to fill in areas of DUPA. Beard hair is like scalp hair as it has a long growth cycle. Very impressive results. [deleted by user] by intressless
I would want to perform a trichoscopic examination of these hairs on the sides to make sure that you don’t have DUPA. An examination is critical to making intelligent decisions however, I would want to evaluate all of your hair donor area as well. Here is an example of DUPA: https://baldingblog.com/do-i-have-dupa-photo/
Yes, both can simultaneously. That means that if you have DUPA, you should never have a hair transplant because the grafts will eventually fail sooner than later.
This man wanted a hair transplant and came to a colleague asking for one. If his donor area was examined under a hand microscope, it would show either very low density or DUPA. In either case, he would be an unlikely candidate for a hair transplant.
Yes, this is a classic look of the magnified donor area that you want to see with 50% or more miniaturized hairs. We actually classify DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) once the miniaturized significantly exceeds 20%. Most DUPA patients have much higher miniaturization in the donor area and elsewhere on the scalp. The single best treatment […]
This is Diffuse Unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) which shows only 5 normal thickness hairs which are labeled in the photo (1-5) and the rest are miniaturized. This comes from the donor area which almost certainly is see-through. Note that this is best seen when the hairs are cut short because they can be easily counted as […]
Take a look at this photo in the post here: https://baldingblog.com/what-does-dupa-diffuse-unpatterned-alpopecia-look-like/ . This man has DUPA and as you can see there is extensive miniaturization in the zoomed-in photo. I need to see such a photo of you to give you an answer to your question.
The diagnosis of Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (something I defined in the medical literature) can be made with a hand microscope which shows an abnormal amount of miniaturization in the sides and back. I think that you need to have such an examination
Started suffering sudden and rapid hair loss, most noticeably on the sides and back of head.. Thought it was telogen effluvium at first but it appears the hairs are miniaturizing rather than just shedding (hairs are coming in thinner and scragglier and not growing as long). Can DUPA be caused by anything other than androgens? […]
I’m going to talk to the doctor about my type of hairloss and why I am thinning on Dutasteride. I’m going in for a free consultation and I’ll see what they have to say, whether I have normal MPB, DPA, or DUPA. I’ll keep you guys posted. DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) was first published by […]
Maybe. There is no obvious genetic link to the Classic DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) we originally reported in the Journals. I have, in some patients, seen genetic balding also present (not that common) and when I do, I warn these patient never to have a hair transplant because it will fail.
