First things first, thanks for allowing us to post your photo! Click it to enlarge. I’m pretty sure we’ve never said finasteride wouldn’t help a young man with early signs of Norwood class 7. In fact, we strongly advocate finasteride over surgery for early thinning in young men. You’re 22 years old with what […]

There are many clinics who have your sense of business idea. We as physicians do consult our patients regarding different types of hair styles and adjunct products, such as Toppik or DermMatch, to enhance the look of the hair transplants or hair style in general. It would be great if we can partner with a […]
It seems you are self-treating and experimenting without a clear focus and understanding of what is going on. I realize saw palmetto is available over the counter, but there is still side effect potential that people tend to ignore. I am really not in a place to recommend a specific treatment plan for you, as […]
I often write here about the importance of speaking with your doctor for a treatment plan, but I suppose even after talking to a doctor there are things that go missing. Your doctor should have explained to you (and maybe he/she did) that Propecia is not a cure for hair loss, but it should help […]
There is no connection and what you are looking for reflects that sometimes life is just not fair. Some siblings never lose hair while others suffer from considerable hair loss. You should always see a doctor and set up a Master Plan that may include drugs like finasteride to slow, stop, and possibly reverse the […]
First and foremost, do not let fear interfere with your choices. Empower yourself with education to learn about hair loss. Unfortunately, 50% of men will have some type of hair loss in their lifetime. When it is genetic it usually starts above the age of 18, though there are cases that I’ve seen start around […]
If at any point in the future you want to address only the front corner areas, you can always do so with a small hair transplant procedure using FUE. You may have a maturing hairline… perhaps in combination with slight recession in the corners. It remains to be seen as you age, but take comfort […]
Hi! It goes well. Thanks for asking. Scoliosis (spine curvature) has no direct relationship to hair loss, but stress can play a role. Clearly, you sound stressed. The mechanism for the stress-induced hair loss is unknown. You are the type of patient I would love to see, build a Master Plan for and help. The […]
I am not your doctor, so what I can tell you without examining you is fairly limited. Olux (clobetasol propionate) is a powerful synthetic corticosteroid and with chronic use, can contribute to balding (along with many other issues). It’s generally used as a psoriasis treatment, so I don’t know why you’d be using it to […]
There are many doctors that do not map the scalp for miniaturization. It is a relatively easy procedure, and in my hands it is basic to using medications like Propecia, in determining the health of the donor area, and in developing a long term Master Plan for the patient. If they do not use a […]
Situations like this are why you need to see a doctor who will create a Master Plan for you. I don’t know the definitive cause of your texture change, though stress and injury could be contributing. That being said, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) patients really need a good doctor or the imagination runs amok.
Note: I believe these were from two different people, but the questions are related so I’ll answer them together… Email #1 Email #2 Read the official study posted at Hairlosstalk.com and you can draw whatever conclusions you want from it. I believe that this drug has a forever component, but that does not mean that […]
You should see a hair transplant surgeon who does not rush you into surgery. These are often the best doctors for getting to the bottom of your hair loss, as they deal with it daily. You can check the physician search at ISHRS.org to find a doctor in your area (or if you’re in the […]
I hope you enjoy the book, and I’m glad you find this site useful… but I am afraid that I have no good news for you. Those few patients who have sexual side effects or breast pain and/or enlargement that persist after numerous attempts to restart their drug program, will continue with the same outcome. […]
Jon was only transplanted in the frontal hairline area extending back about 2-3 inches, not elsewhere. He was told that a second procedure would likely be necessary and that he should follow the Master Plan we setup for him. His heavy smoking, the stress in his life, and his genetics are not really helping the […]
