Consult a Hair Surgeon

Hello Robithp199, It’s hard to say exactly what is causing your excessive hair loss without performing a few specific tests. However, as Dr. Umar points out, it is possible you are experiencing pattern baldness. You may refer to images of the “Norwood Classification” to see if you are experiencing the typical progression of pattern baldness. Before making any kind of treatment decisions, it’s highly recommended that you consult a licensed medical professional in person.

How can I conceal my donor scars from a hair transplant if I want to shave my head?

Conceal Donor Scars with Robotic FUE
Jul 18, 2014

Hi MIKEFJ, You may also consider a follow up follicular unit transplant via FUE. New robotic technologies are available, and they ensure donor hair extraction is conducted in a diffuse yet precise manner that shows virtually no sign of extraction. After extraction, the surgeon can use the extracted donor hair to camouflage donor scars. Consult a surgeon for more information on this process and, if possible, request to see specific before and after images that demonstrate a natural-looking…

Would you recommend low lever laser therapy (LLLT) for hair loss?

Study Supports LLLT as Effective Hair Loss Treatment
Apr 29, 2014

Dr. Donovan is right on the money, the study published in the American Journal of Dermatology is the first to support LLLT as a viable hair loss treatment protocol. In the study referenced, all 334 subjects (both men and women) saw natural hair growth after using a “LaserComb” LLLT device over a 26 week period. At our practice, patients have reported exceptional results with at-home LLLT devices that fit within a typical baseball cap, are worn discreetly, and cover the entire scalp.

What’s the best diet for preventing hair thining and hair loss?

Consider: GI Health Affects Nutrient Absorption
Apr 29, 2014

In recent years, GI health has taken the stage as a new focal point for holistic health practitioners and dieticians. The concept is simple: When GI health suffers, so too does your body’s ability to absorb vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients. Certain conditions, like Celiac Disease, can actually trigger an autoimmune reaction that causes agitation and swelling in the small intestine, which also impairs the ability of the GI tract to get the most out your diet. Considering taking…

Why can’t I see a reduction in my hair loss after a year’s treatment with Finasteride?

Are You Taking Any Medications?
Apr 29, 2014

I concur with Dr. Donovan. Either Finasteride has not stopped your hair loss, it has stopped but not improved it, or there is another underlying condition that is the root cause. In addition to having a physical to check thyroid and iron levels, consult with your primary care physician to see if any of your current medications might be to blame (if you take any). Certain acne medications, antibiotics, antidepressants, cholesterol medications, and others are all known to cause thinning or…

Propecia “Wears Off” in 12 Months or Less
Apr 29, 2014

Yes, as other professionals have stated on this thread, use of Propecia (Finasteride) must be continuous, otherwise the results will cease. In our experience, discontinuing the use of Propecia can lead to hair loss within 12 months.
