Generally, men your age will respond to finasteride (Propecia) with regrowth in the crown, but clearly from your email, this was not your case. A good doctor should work with you through the specific logic and goals in your case. Treatment options may include Scalp MicroPigmentation / SMP (as long as you have hair […]

Snippet from the press release: Read the rest — The ROGAINE Brand Reveals New Insights About The Psychological Impact Of Hair Loss This is basically just a press release for a new marketing campaign by Rogaine with some buzzwords that caught my eye (it worked!), but I found the negative language used by the surveyed […]
Everyone is different, so there’s no exact solution I can provide without seeing you and getting a better understanding of your individual case. Special cortisone injections may help, but that depends upon what we are treating. If the elevations are due to the mass displacement of the old plugs in atrophic skin, then the cortisone […]
The above snippet is from a press release I was sent, and I want to elaborate about how this is a treatable condition. For those of you who look into the mirror every morning and see the signs of hair loss, you should know that there are many options available for you to slow, stop, […]
Here’s a story about a patient that has had four total hair transplant procedures — procedure #1 and #2 in 1995-1996 with us totaling 3286 hair grafts, procedure #3 with another doctor a couple of years ago of 1000 grafts, and finally procedure #4 (to fix procedure #3). This gentleman continued to lose hair after […]
If the hair does not come back after a full year, then you may want to see someone like us. Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) or hair transplants can work to address this problem, but just be patient for now to see if the hair grows back on its own.
I had a discussion with one of our hair transplant patients who continued to use Toppik to get the fullness he needed despite having a reasonable hair transplant result. This man in his late 50s received around 5500 grafts, which was not quite enough to cover his entire Norwood class 6 balding pattern, so he […]
Acute weight loss is a known cause of balding in both men and women. Men bald in patterns and rarely bald in the donor area, while women get a diffuse balding that does not occur in patterns. You need to send me some photos of you so I understand what you mean by balding. If […]
Click the photo to enlarge: Having a trichophytic closure technique used is not a guarantee you will have a nice, thin and neat scar. The photo isn’t clear and I can not tell what is shaved from what might be an early stretch of the scar. You will have to wait it out. If […]
If the chemical burn was a few years ago and the hair is still thin, chances are it’s not going to regrow on its own. If the loss was temporary, I would’ve expected it to regrow within a year or so. Rogaine might provide some hair growth, but it has to be used for life. […]
I do not know what you have, but if you have diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), then in the future you will have diffuse thinning in no particular pattern. I have no way to know how much more you will lose hair though, as everyone is different. There is a cosmetic treatment for DUPA patients, called […]
Unfortunately, much of what you said is true. Transplanting hair into an area of active disease will kill the hair grafts. Most doctors will not do a surgery like a hair transplant where the odds are against the success of the procedure. I don’t know the specific statistics for those that have lichen planopilaris, as […]
A bald Norwood class 6 or 7 patient does not do well with a concealer like Toppik, which works better with some hair. Many men who use this product without hair in the bald area will actually show the Toppik itself, which is often irregular in the way it is put down. If used to […]
There is no such thing as scar-less surgery, no matter how skillful a doctor may be. Even FUE surgery can leave significant scarring that look like thousands of whitish dots. The key point is any cut on the skin will leave a mark and each person heals differently. In other words, it is not solely […]
I’m not familiar with him, but I did find this article which shows off what you’re talking about. It doesn’t impress me, whatever it was. I put a small version to the right… I wish I could get to him and tell him that there is a simple solution to his problem:
