When Will I See Full Results Of Hair Transplant?

March 19th, 2010

Q: I understand that seeing the result of a hair transplant is a process – what can I expect?

A: It generally takes a year to see the full results of a hair transplant. Growth usually begins around 2 1/2 to 3 months and at 6-8 months the hair transplant starts to become comb-able.

Over the course of a year, the hair will gain in thickness and in length and may also change in character. During this time, hair will often become silkier, less kinky or take on a wave, depending upon the original characteristics of the patient’s hair.

In subsequent hair restoration procedures, growth can be slower.

Can Propecia or Rogaine Improve Receding Hairline Or Front Of Scalp?

March 12th, 2010

Q: I have done a lot of research over the past year including seeing a dermatologist and receiving consultation from a surgeon. Both recommended Propecia and Rogaine. My confidence in their advice was lost when I researched each of these products and found that they do not improve receding hairlines, only lost hair in the crown area. I’d like to know if there are any other options available to me that work and if a transplant is something that should be done on someone with my hair loss level.

A: Both Propecia and Minoxidil definitely can work in the front of the scalp as long as there is some hair in the area. Although their mechanisms of action are different, both Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) act to thicken miniaturized hair wherever it’s location.

When Should Hair Transplant Be Considered For Thinning Area?

February 19th, 2010

Q: At what level of thinning should the hair transplant be done?

A: A hair transplant should be considered in an area of thinning when:

  • The area has not responded to medical therapy (finasteride 1mg a day orally and minoxidil 5% topically for one year).
  • The thinning is significant enough that it can’t be disguised with simple grooming (i.e. is a cosmetic problem even when the hair is combed well).

Other factors that are important include:

  • the age of the patient
  • the donor supply
  • whether the thinning is in the front of the scalp or in the crown
