Patients with DPA Can’t Get a Transplant?
In response to: Is Taking Propecia to Prevent Shock Loss an Indefinite Necessity?
I’m confused by Dr. Rassman’s response to this question. For the longest time you have written that sufferers of DPA have a stable permanent zone and they can usually can receive a transplant at the appropriate time. You’ve written that it’s suffers of DUPA that aren’t appropriate candidates for transplantation. Has something changed?
Nothing has changed. We always look to the health of the permanent zone when considering if someone is a candidate for a hair transplant. We weigh the balance between the supply of hair from this permanent zone and the demand of hair from the balding or thinning area.
