Hair mapping means that a physician is using a densitometer or video magnifying camera to look for miniaturized hairs at multiple sites on your head. The percentage of miniaturized hairs and the thickness change in those miniaturized hairs will determine: if a balding process is going on the pattern of the balding process over time […]

Ideally, you should take propecia after mapping your scalp to identify if you have male pattern baldness. The focus upon mapping for miniaturization is to (1) estimate the pattern of hair loss, and (2) measure the starting point for miniaturization so that changes caused by Propecia can be measured over time. Although it takes around […]
There are a series of hair metrics (measurements) that any good doctor must do for a proper analysis of your scalp. First, if the doctor waves his/her hand over your head and says that you have a fine hair density, run for the hills. Good metrics require scientific measurement and the science of densitometry as […]
Yes, low iron and B12 can cause hair loss. Get a good doctor to take charge of you, as that is the best approach to the problem.
In my opinion, I would hold off on the minoxidil and stick to the Propecia for the first 8 months. If the hair loss is as you have defined, then there is a high possibility that it will reverse because it seems to work best for short term genetic hair loss. If you take other […]
Hi, I’m a South Asian 17-year-old female. When I was younger, I had incredibly thick and healthy hair. However, over the past 1-2 years, l’ve noticed a significant amount of hair loss. My middle part has widened, and overall, my hair is much thinner now. I’ve attached pictures comparing my hair now versus a few […]
I (24M) have had hair loss for almost 3 years now. You can see the current state in the pictures. It’s uncomfortable for me to go out, and when I do, I only go out wearing a cap. I’m really not a big fan of medication, which means I would prefer to avoid finasteride. Would […]
I don’t know your age, but from seeing these photos, I think you have far more miniaturization than this photo shows, possibly in the frontal hairline. You need to be examined by a good doctor with a trichoscope. Then you should go on ORAL finasteride first, as this is the best medication for most people […]
The photos have arrows pointing to an area of his head, which shows miniaturization in three different phases of development. The hairs that have lost their pigment are the earliest of these miniaturized hairs, and the one on the right is far more advanced. As you can see, the shaft thickness is very skinny. […]
These photos show some thinning. Best to get a hand microscope from Amazon and look for miniaturization to confirm that you are actually miniaturizing hair throughout your scalp. If that is the case, a good doctor in this field (a hair transplant doctor is often best, but a dermatologist interested in the field also can […]
Do the thinning areas in whatever balding pattern you have always end up totally losing all the hair in those areas? Or can those areas just thin to a certain percentage of it’s original density and then stabilize remain that way Miniaturized hairs, if left untreated, will become balding areas. I have to follow the […]
I’m 22. I recently went to turkey to complete a FUE hair transplant, where basically it was just to fix my hairline and make it more straight and filled out a bit more and not a full scalp job. I also got my beard filled out as there was little area of no growth, everything […]
You appear to be a good candidate, assuming that you have already tried some of the other non-surgical treatments and that they have failed. Do you have miniaturization on your scalp beyond the hairline area? Ask your surgeon about your baseline donor density and hair mass (donor hair thickness). These two factors will allow you […]
When you and I review my photos and looked at it microscopically over a Zoom call, you said that I had extensive miniaturization on the top and crown of my head. Are these hairs destined to die off and fall out? When there is extensive miniaturization, the hairs are destined to be lost; however, drugs […]
Is it normal for men to develop slight thinning on the crown but not actually develop a fully bald crown? If a microscopic examination of your crown shows uniform distribution of miniaturization, then you will eventually (over time) lose all of those hairs. It might take decades. Finasteride works wonders on the crown to reverse […]
