Genetic causes of hair loss in a 17 year old female, is unusual. You were correct to ask your female relatives at what age the condition first appeared with them. I would first have a good doctor see you and look for medical causes of hair loss (there are many). The following problems are amongst […]

I’m not trying to suggest that swimming causes MPB or anything like that. I’m just wondering if the chlorine or other chemicals in the pool could be detrimental for those of us already struggling? The chlorine in the swimming pool may damage your hair, but the growth mechanism is below the scalp, not reached by […]
The answer to that reflects the presence of the enzyme sulfotransferase in significant quantities in the scalp. “the follicular sulfotransferase activity of 120 pattern hair loss patients visiting a dermatology outpatient clinic in India. Overall, 40.8% of patients with pattern hair loss had low levels of sulfotransferase. “Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30295395/
One of my former patients, still on finasteride and wanting a refill, sent me this photo of his present appearance. Blonde men do better, getting the appearance of fullness. The contrast in color between skin and hair is narrow, creating more fullness with less hair. Blonde hair also reflects light, adding to the cosmetic effect. […]
Most failed hair transplants are technically created by a team of people working on you without a good quality control process in place. That reflects the surgeon, who is Master of the Ship and responsible for what his team should be doing. I have found many surgeons who don’t understand the nuances of the hair […]
Ever since my hair started thinning it literally took over my life it’s all I think about I’m only 22 and I also overthink and worry about what people would say I’d they noticed it and I’m living in fear, I’m also scared how I’m gonna find a wife if I actually lose all my […]
Dr. Rassman, is it possible for telogen effluvium shedding to stop, but to have hair not grow back? Or not as dense? Is it possible for the hairs to stay dormant? My shedding stopped a long time ago (years), but hair has yet to return. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you and sorry to […]
Hair loss has nothing to do with nutrition and this man proves it. Weight loss doesn’t mean starvation. This man likely had achieved a good balance with fewer calories than he usually took and kept good nutrition. It is wrong to think that because this man didn’t lose his hair, others may not have been […]
Fin at a young age, 18, 19, 20, etc. Should you do it? Messing with your hormones at such a young age doesn’t seem like a good idea. Does it mess with them as much as people say and would you advise someone of that age to take fin if they’re balding? I routinely prescribe […]
Can you please expand on what you mean by saying hair transplants accelerate balding, especially in younger men? Thank you Younger men often don’t see their final pattern, but it is often there if they look through a hand microscope and see a lot of miniaturization present. A hair transplant causes many of these miniaturized […]
Most posts I read on various hair loss forums like Reddit, seem to be from guys who’re in their late teens/early 20’s who were probably going to be able to grow beards anyway, but for whom the minox may have just accelerated the process. Any success stories from older guys? I’m nearing 40 myself and […]
I’m thinning in my crown area so it’s not easy to see the progress I’m making. So I decided to purchase a microscope for inspecting the scalp. I didn’t know I could get these on Amazon for couple of bucks. It was pretty fun looking at my scalp so close. The picture shown here is my […]
I (F27) have recently moved to UK . I don’t know if it’s the weather change or the water but I am losing a lot of hair. The wash days are an absolute nightmare. If this continues I believe I might go bald. If any kind soul here can suggest what can I bring in […]
What is the long term perspective for someone who responds to common treatments like fin and min? Lets say a person starts these treatments at 30. Will they preserve their thickness into their 50s and 60s? Or they just delay the inevitable balding by 5-10 years? I have been in the hair restoration field for […]
I’m on 0.5mg Dutasteride and 5 mg oral minoxidil right now, I’m willing to fight till death to keep my hair but i see a thinning pattern that is scary like nw7 scary. What could I do to more, I’m willing to do anything except sex altering drugs. You need a good doctor to develop […]
