A miscarriage can cause hair loss, either from the drop in estrogen following the end of a pregnancy, or possibly even from the emotional stress that you must’ve endured. Either reason should only result in temporary hair loss, though. As for the medications and supplements you’re taking — Duphaston (dydrogesterone) isn’t noted to cause hair […]
Borage (also known as starflower oil) is used by herbalists to treat PMS issues in women. At least, that’s what I found via Google… because I wasn’t familiar with it. It’s just another herbal treatment that some people claim can treat hair loss. It doesn’t. There’s no herbal treatment that I’ve found to treat MPB […]
Hair products and gels do not cause or accelerate hair loss. If your hair is thin and brittle, try a different hair styling product. Certain products might damage hair, but I don’t know what you’re using. Most name brand styling gels aren’t going to be an issue, and they certainly won’t cause you to have […]
I think if you were taking finasteride at 5mg strength daily for genetic hair loss, you were likely wasting your money and over medicating yourself. Did your doctor prescribe this to you for treating hair loss or do you have prostate issues? The recommended dose is 1mg daily for treating hair loss. Taking more just […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Hair loss common in women of all ages The article talks about female hair loss treatments, and acknowledges that the options are unfortunately more limited for women than they are for men. We’ve written before about the many possible causes of female hair loss and the tests […]
The need to define the limitations of the drug and make realistic claims about it (which reflect overall safety and effectiveness) is critical before the pharmaceutical company that owns the rights to the drug can put it on the market and make a fortune on it… IF IT WORKS. It is obvious that a working […]
After looking at some photos, I immediately assumed that this was some form of alopecia areata (probably totalis or universalis), so I looked into it a little to see if he’s spoken about it in the press. Sure enough, an article about Mike Quade in the NY Times from last year says, “Quade was 3 […]
There’s been rumors circulating for years in the gossip rags that Nicolas Cage had a hair transplant, but until he comes out and says one way or the other, it’s just speculation. I honestly don’t know when his loss started, how it progressed, or what his goals are/were. Actors will commonly have high end hairpieces/wigs […]
Thanks for sending this. It’s good to send out encouraging messages for those struggling with hair loss. But I must note — as a hair transplant surgeon, I have no problem with vanity. ;-)
Thank you for your thoughts. In general, more does not necessarily mean better and the recommended dose of finasteride for the treatment of male pattern balding is 1mg a day. As always, please discuss your treatment options with your prescribing physician.
You can’t just use the age you start losing hair to find a clear view of your final hair loss pattern. You could start losing hair at 40 years old and stop at a Norwood 4. You could start losing hair at 20 years old and proceed to a Norwood 6. Your hair loss might […]
Genetic hair loss can start at any age, but as you suggested, this is unusual. If your medications have been the same medications you have always taken, then it is unlikely that they caused the recent thinning. You should have your scalp mapped out for miniaturization to determine if you are miniaturizing hair and will […]
Most doctors are trained to treat medical issues and bill the insurance company to make their living. It seems that hair loss is generally not a priority from a purely medical perspective. My cynicism aside, there really is no definitive cure for hair loss in women, but you need a diagnosis by a doctor who […]
I don’t know how much or what type of hair you have, so I couldn’t begin to give you any kind of remote guess as to what you can expect from a FUE procedure. You’re getting ahead of yourself. Every rule has exceptions and to determine what you should do, first get examined by an […]
