Q: I wanted you to determine if I would be a candidate for a Follicular Extraction hair transplant (FUE) to camouflage a scar. After reading through your vastly informative website, I had become aware that the Fox test is necessary to determine patient viability for FUE. . . A: I perform FOX tests on all patients when I am considering a FUE hair transplant. I do not routinely perform FOX tests before repairs (or on eyebrow transplants) where the number of grafts is relatively small. See the Follicular Unit Extraction section of the blog |
Q: I started thinning and saw more hair in the tub. I began Rogaine and stopped shampooing every night and is seems that there is now more coming out every time I shower. What is going on? A: Rogaine can cause shedding at the beginning of treatment (i.e. in the first 3 months) but this is expected as it causes some hair to begin a new cycle of shedding and re-growth. This means the medication is working. Another reason for your apparent shedding is that the less you wash your hair the more will be lost each time. Go back to shampooing every day and see what happens. See the Minoxidil section of the blog |
