This is a big breakthrough because now with this technique, we can study drugs and their impact on hair cycling. Hopefully, we can grow genetically impacted hairs for balding and see what it takes to reverse the balding process with greater ease
I have been on finasteride but still encountering recession in my hairline in terms of miniaturization. But i noticed that my hair fall has actually decreased, so is the fin working or…? Was wondering am i really having Androgenetic alopecia
Yes, it is working but possibly not well on your hairline.
I have been on finasteride for 2 years but today suddenly in the shower my hair started coming out in clumps. I’ve lost so much density, I bet more than 1000 hair went down the drain and additional hundred more when I was drying it. This includes the back and the sides of my head. I am panicking so much because when I started I only had mild temple recession with no hair loss anywhere else , and now this happened.
How old are you? If you are young, maybe you started to accelerate your balding genetics. This can happen if you are unusually stressed. Does that apply to you? if you are very worried, see a dermatologist of a hair specialist like me if yu in Southern California.
This is a nice increase in fullness and more to come in time. Stick to it.
This is what we hope that minoxidil will do when applied daily.
5.0mg is much more effective though that’s what I’m using with ZERO Sides
5mg oral minoxidil has a higher risk of cardiac complications. That is why the drug was withdrawn from the market in the treatment of high blood pressure. 2.5mg is the maximal safe dose for oral minoxidil for men with hair loss
Thank you Dr. Rassman. I will be applying Pyrilutamide in the near future. Do you think it is sensible to experiment with a drug that is still undergoing clinical trials, but that passed the Phase I trial?
Safety and effectiveness is always the key and that will be determined when the trail is over
There is clearly new growth that can be seen at the 3rd month. I would expect considerably more in the next 4-6 months.
Nice early reversal. I doubt that, other than the forelock, the rest of the frontal hairline may not grow in. The forelock is genetically coded differently than the rest of the hairline.
Hairs grew in the area I circle before and now there are no hairs there. Does that mean that no hair will grow there again?
Although the area where I placed the arrow previously had hair growing out of it, maybe it was a one hair follicular unit and the hair went into the Catagen phase of the hair cycle and disappeared. If that were the case, it would come back within a month or two.
An Istanbul hair transplant clinic was raided by the police and all of the technicians were arrested. There was no doctor in the clinic. The technicians ran a clinic with 10 surgery rooms. There are hundreds of such clinics in Turkey. I am not sure why this particular one was selected.
Is micro-needling induced growth (whilst remaining on fin but stopping the needling) permanent?
Microneeding induced growth is probably not permanent. I am not sure that it even lasts for an entire Anagen Cycle.
I have a few painful spots on my head. Probably ingrown hair. They full of pus and sore. Any tips for treating them?
Frequent hot wet compressed should make them drain. If not, see a doctor
