If the hair loss has been there for around 6 years, I doubt that the hair will come back. First, you must get control of the pulling (not just for a week) and you may seek help from your doctor for medications that will help you through this. Once you have gone a year or […]

A good candidate understands the process of balding and the limitations of a hair transplant surgery (where the transplant process works and does not work). The presence of realistic expectations reflects the supply/demand issues of the donor supply and this requires some prediction of your long term balding patterns. The concept of a Master Plan […]
As long as you are not still picking at the area (which is either trichotillomania or dermatillomania), you can consider a small hair transplant surgery to put hair back into the bald patches. If you are still picking these areas, any transplanted grafts will be lost from the picking.
I have never seen this before and only have had one person that I can recall even writing to me about a similar situation (Ergonomic Pillow and Hair Loss), and except for people who have trichotillomania and pull on their hair even in their sleep. You should be examined by a good doctor. A miniaturization […]
That is an interesting question. I would doubt that you will have hit your cycle limit, but there is no way to tell that I know of. The general experience of those with trichotillomania is that once the pulling stops, if the hairs are not lost permanently, they will return to normal (and by normal, […]
I do not know what “apesia” is. Google search shows it is a place in the country of Cyprus. Perhaps you meant alopecia — which just means hair loss. Hair loss in an eyebrow may be caused by such diseases as alopecia areata along with a variety of authoimmune skin disorders. The most common cause […]
If you pluck out transplanted hair it should grow back just as if you pluck out normal (non-transplanted) hair. However, if you keep plucking out the same hair, eventually it may never grow back, which is what happens with trichotillomania.
You describe a condition known as trichotillomania. It is a sort of obsessive-compulsive disorder and there may be help. But first, you need to see a doctor who can diagnose you and manage your obsessive behavior, one step at a time.
If you have stopped picking at your scalp, hair transplants work well for dealing with either the bald area from the picking or the area where the clips caused hair loss. They key is that the offending process must be stopped or the balding will return again. For more about trichotillomania, see Trichotillomania Learning Center.

From Wikipedia: Trichotillomania (TTM), or “trich” as it is commonly known, is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair. There are support groups and learning centers such as Trich.org.
No two people respond the same way. In some people, hair pulling will become irreversible quicker than in other people. The condition is called trichotillomania. Wait out at least one telogen cycle of about 6 months. If it does not come back, see someone about hair transplantation. The doctor may want you to wait out […]
I tell hair pickers that they must wait for up to one complete telogen cycle to find out if the hair comes back. A telogen cycle may last 3-6 months. Usually, if the hair is not growing in a month, the suggestion is that the damage done may be permanent, but prior to more radical […]
You are right. You must first treat your obsessive disorder and stop picking at your hair (trichotillomania). Without that, nothing is going to work, because even if you help your hair grow by other treatments, you will most likely continue to pull the hair out. If you could stop picking at your hair, your hair […]
Seems like your son has the condition called trichotillomania, which is a compulsive disorder characterized by the urge of pulling out hair from different areas. This is one of the common causes of hair loss in children and is usually self limiting. This condition that is often an obsessive-compulsive disorder and it could be aggravated […]
