Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does liquid 5% Minoxidil stop working after a certain amount of time?
progressive hair thinning
Oct 21, 2017
There are a number of reasons your hair loss may progress while using minoxidil. If you have changed generic minoxidil brands in the past 6-12 weeks, there could be an efficacy issue, or you may add a second daily application . If you are not using finasteride, the effect of DHT on natural hair loss progression may now becoming evident. It sounds like you have significantly slowed down hair loss progression but it may be time to add other treatments including hair…
Hair Transplant 5 Month Results; Could my past procedure and built up scar tissue hinder results?
Mild growth delay with second procedure
Jun 15, 2017
I occasionally see a delay of 1-2 months longer than the expected growth at 3 months with prior procedures. Often the second transplant session growth is less dramatic than the initial procedure, and patients often interpret this as less growth.
How much time does it take for Finasteride to show some effectiveness?
6 months for photographic changes
Jun 7, 2017
It takes a minimum of 5-6 months to see photographic improvement using finasteride. It’s very important to take photos when you start. Keep in mind that there are two goals: slowing down hair loss progression and improvement. About 50% of finasteride users will see more hair growth, and the earlier one starts it in their hair loss potential, the better results. In my 20 years experience prescribing finasteride, because it slows down hair loss progression for up to 90%,…
How bad is it that I drank 2 shots and a beer a day after Scalp PRP?
Alcohol after PRP
Apr 17, 2017
I would not expect any issues with mile alcohol consumption after PRP. Sometimes alcohol can “thin” the blood, so drinking before a PRP session could result in mild bleeding or swelling.
It is the 20th day now after FUE. My hairs are shedding, is this normal?
shedding post hair transplant
Mar 5, 2017
Shedding of either the transplanted or native hairs can be experienced 3-5 weeks after a hair transplant.
Can propecia cause wrinkles?
propecia causing wrinkles
Feb 23, 2017
I am not aware of reports of wrinkles related to the use of finasteride. It is very specific in where is works in the hair follicle and sebaceous glands associated with each hair follicle.
Finasteride: If I go cold turkey, Is there any risk?
stop finasteride and expect hair loss in 6-8 months
Feb 23, 2017
If you plan on stopping finasteride, there is no need to taper the dose. However, within 6-8 months, any improvement in hair growth will disappear and your hair loss pattern will return to where it was when you started finasteride.
