Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can I expect more growth as my hairline density seems very low after 8 months of my FUE HT?
Yes, you can expect more
Aug 15, 2021
It takes time for the hair to grow after the transplant. At 6-8 months you should see anywhere from 40-50%. It can take up to 18 months to see your final results. So far it looks appropriate for the time frame.
Can I take Finasteride and Dutasteride together? And should I wait till I’m 30+ years old before tra
Combo of Propecia and dutesteride.
Apr 15, 2021
There is no benefit to taking both medications. In fact this could significantly increase your risk of side effects. Propecia is the only approved prescription treatment for hair loss. The off label use of dutesteride decreases the amount of DHT(dihydroxytesterone) by up to 90% while Propecia is 60%. But the down side is that dutesteride increased the risk of side effects.
As a doctor, if you needed a hair transplant requiring about 3,000 units, would you prefer to get FU
Depends
Mar 10, 2021
For me, with large sessions I prefer to do the FUT. done correctly the linear scar will heal with a minimal scar. As you said. 3000FUEs can give a speckled appearance. Pick your suggestion carefully. Get reviews and look at pictures.
Should I stop taking finasteride and minoxidil? Also, would I be suitable for a hair transplant (FUE
Don’t stop.
Mar 10, 2021
Minoxidil and finasteride work on a continuum. What I mean is that in 40-50 % it stops the loss and in another 40-50% it increases hair volume. So based on your pictures you have had a very good result. Not only have you stopped your loss, you have actually had improvement. Don’t stop the medications.
Most of dermatologist said I have female pattern hair loss (I started oral minoxidil)?
More options for female pattern hair loss.
Mar 9, 2021
Minoxidil is only one treatment and certainly not the strongest. With female pattern hair loss platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a very strong and successful solution along with laser therapy and exosomes (very new and some what controversial). Also lab tests would be included in the evaluation. Many dermatologists just don’t want to take the time to keep up with the new treatments. This is not a criticism, they have so much other things to focus on, to take an hour for an evaluation is very t…
Can a hair transplant be done in this scar area ?
Scar repair
Feb 24, 2021
Based on your scar, there are 2 potential ways to treat it. You can transplant into the scar or camouflage with micro-scalp pigmentation (MSP)The MSP is a tattoo that mimics a hair that is coming out of the scalp. It is very effective in the treatment of scars.
Does Viviscal Women cause weight gain?
Does Viviscal Women cause weight gain?
Feb 19, 2021
No. There have been no reports of weight gain in individuals that are using Viviscal, due to Viviscal.
Of course, there are plenty of individuals who have gained weight while on viviscal but it is due to taking in too many calories and not working them off.
