Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Side effects on topical finasteride 0.05%
It depends on what the side effects are.
Apr 30, 2021
Depending on what the side effects are, resuming Minoxidil may be a good option. If the side effects were redness and itching of the scalp consider trying Rogaine foam. The lack of propylene glycol in the solution makes it much more tolerable for patients. If you had any other side effects (e.g. sexual side effects) please speak with a physician to discuss your options moving forward.
Can hair loss due to dandruff be regrown by PRP?
It’s not uncommon for PRP to help with a wide variety of hair loss conditions.
Apr 29, 2021
I always recommend that patients have conditions such as Seborrheic dermatitis (often the cause of dandruff) treated by medications or shampoo such as Nizoral concurrently with PRP treatment. While we generally use PRP for patients suffering from Androgenetic alopecia, it’s not uncommon for PRP to help with a wide variety of hair loss conditions. Most of our patients, even ones with more severe causes of hair loss (e.g. Traction alopecia), can see improvement in hair density so I think it w…
Post 12 months transplant hair is very thin on top and crown. What are my options?
Consider having another FUE procedure
Apr 29, 2021
It’s not uncommon for us to see patients who have been disappointed with results from past procedures. It’s tough to comment on why a procedure didn’t work especially if we’re not the ones who did it. Nevertheless, despite your past experience, if you have sufficient donor hair, you can certainly consider having another procedure. I’d suggest making sure you go to a reputable clinic with lots of experience and one that offers a satisfaction guarantee. We personally believe manual FUE is th…
Would hair transplant surgery be right for me?
Yes
Apr 29, 2021
I think you would be a good candidate for a hair restoration procedure to help reshape your hairline (assuming no significant medical history). While our clinic focuses primarily on FUE procedures and believe it’s the optimal method of hair restoration, this may be one of the few instances in which I’d suggest you consider a STRIP or FUT procedure. Since you are a female and wear your hair long, you’ll be able to avoid shaving the entire back of your head.
Can PRP increase growth of hair that has always been short and thin?
PRP can show significant improvement to ALL hair.
Apr 29, 2021
It’s not uncommon for our patients to come back noting improvement in the caliber of ALL their hair with PRP. In many cases the results can be stunning. Obviously, outcomes can vary from person to person, but given the minimal side-effect profile of PRP, I think it would be worthwhile for you assuming there are no contraindications. Keep in mind, most patients will require multiple injections of PRP to see improvements and we recommend ongoing PRP therapy as maintenance if you like your result.
How many hair transplant grafts would I need?
1400-1800 grafts
Apr 29, 2021
Based on your photos, I’m assuming that you want to fill in the corners of your hairline. Based on how low we design your hairline and how thin you are in the frontal tuft, you may require anywhere from 1400-1800 grafts. Do keep in mind, you may appreciate having a second procedure in the future to help improve and match the density of your native, surrounding hair. Good luck!
Looking for hair restoration options
Don’t Stress! And some advice…
Apr 29, 2021
I’m sorry to hear that your hair loss is causing you so much distress. I know this easier said than done but try your best not stress about this as it can potentially lead to more hair loss. More importantly, you still have a lot of hair on your head, which is awesome! In my experience, patients who already have hair (even miniaturized) are more likely to respond to non-surgical therapy (e.g. finasteride, minoxidil, PRP, lasercap). I’m so happy to hear that you are on finasteride! It’s only …
