I’m currently taking fin 1mg with great results of hair retention. Do you think cutting to 0.5 or 0.25 mg will still maintain efficacy? I am getting moderates amounts of hypotension and dizziness when I stand ok and wanted to see if reducing dose would help. Finasteride doesn’t produce low blood pressure. I suggest that […]

In a 2009 article written by Dr. David Perez-Meza reflecting upon Dr. Tony Mangubat’s two cases of problems following a hair transplant, the connection between smoking and complications from a hair transplant or any plastic surgery to the face, is significant (see attached article below).

Systolic hypertension (?140 mm Hg) was associated with a greater risk (hazard ratio per unit increase in z score, 1.18) than diastolic hypertension (?90 mm Hg; hazard ratio per unit increase in z score, 1.06). The investigators found similar results with the lower threshold of hypertension (?130/80 mm Hg). (Taken from Medscape) What does this […]
This treatment is being promoted in Germany and in Europe called AC-Therapy. It is supposed to decrease the muscle tension of the scalp which in turn decreases circulation to the scalp. Supposedly, with less circulation there is less oxygen and nutrition and this is therefore claimed as the cause for patterned hair loss in men. […]
Scars like this are usually the result of an overly aggressive surgeon who removed a strip too wide, and the tension may have been too high when he closed the wound. Alternatively, a very elastic collagen is present in some people which can produce stretching of the wound. In this case, the wound reflects your genetic make-up […]
These scars may occur as a complication of an FUT strip surgery. Sometimes they just happen and sometimes it occurs when the wound is closed under tension. Wait a period of six months and then, if it does not go away, you might have to consider doing something about it like Scalp MicroPigmentation which works very […]

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 […]
Someone put the time and energy to put together that information. From a medical point of view, scalp exercises will not grow hair or help miniaturized hair.
According to the article in Circulation, March 18 “Most US children start life with optimal cardiovascular health (CVH), but it declines substantially over time. “Our findings indicate that, in general, children start with pretty good blood pressure. But if they have a horrible diet, it will drive a worsening body mass index (BMI) and cholesterol […]
Almost all men have some form of maturing hair line as they transition into adulthood. About 5% of Caucasian men maintain part of all of the child;s hairline well into maturity (former presidents Reagan and Clintoon). Maturing hair lines are not considered balding. Balding in the form of androgenic alopecia (AGA) also called Male Pattern […]

Dr. Bill Reed, a hair transplant surgeon in San Diego, California, wrote the following piece in an email to a group of doctors. I asked him if he would allow me to share it with our readership, and he agreed.
