Do Propecia (Finasteride) and Rogaine (Minoxidil) Work on Front of the Scalp?

(the company that introduced Rogaine) and Merck (Propecia) only tested the medications on the crown in the clinical trials. Logically, the fact that DHT causes frontal hair loss and Propecia works by blocking DHT gives a reasonable explanation for the efficacy of the drug on the front of the scalp. Also, a side effect of the use of minoxidil is facial hair, so how could it not also work on the front of the scalp? It is regrettable that some doctors and many patients think that these medications won’t work on the front of the scalp. Unfortunately, many hair restoration surgeons have done little to educate the public and dispel this myth.

ll often be rejected in patients with LPP. In common baldness, the disease resides in the follicles (i.e., a genetic sensitivity of the follicles to DHT). Since the donor hair follicles remain healthy, even when transplanted to a new location, we call common baldness donor dominant. It is the reason why hair transplantation works in persons with common baldness. In contrast, LPP is a recipient dominant condition. This means that the problem is in the recipient area skin, so if healthy hair is transplanted into an area affected by LPP the hair may be lost. Because it is so important to rule out suspected LPP when considering a hair transplant and because it is often hard to make a definitive diagnosis on the

Should I Start Hair Loss Treatment With Finasteride or Dutasteride?

itle="Avodart (dutasteride)">Avodart. When I told him it is not FDA-approved for hair loss, and Propecia is, he said Avodart is better and brings DHT down more, and Propecia is nothing next to Avodart. He told me to take it every day for 2 weeks, then every other day from then on as it has a long half life. From researching on the net, many hair restoration doctors rarely prescribe Avodart for hair loss due to some dangers. What is your opinion on this? -- T.G., Darien, Connecticut

Using Avodart If Propecia Does Not Work

tologist's opinion I am a non-responder. I asked about Avodart and he said, since Propecia didn't help then Avodart won't help as well since both are DHT blockers, and if one didn't work the other won’t either. In your opinion do you think Avodart is better? I have read that it blocks more DHT than Propecia. What is the dosing for Avodart? If someone does not respond to Propecia will they also not respond to Avodart? -- A.C., West University Place, Texas

Finasteride in the Treatment of Female Hair Loss

arded as the female counterpart of Male Androgenic Alopecia (MAGA), and it was thought to be primarily associated with increased dihydrotestasterone (DHT). ((Kaufman, KD. Androgens and Alopecia. Molecular Cellular Endocrinology 2002; 198: 89-95.)) However, some recent studies have shown that the role of androgens in FAGA is less certain, especially in women who do not display any other signs of hyperandrogenemia. ((Futterweit W, Dunaif A, Yeh H-C, Kingsley P. The prevalance of hyperandrogenism in 109 consecutive female patients with diffuse alopecia. J Am Acad Dermatol 1988;19:831-6.)) The current theory is that female pattern hair loss is a multifactorial genetically determined trait with both androgen–dependent and androgen independent mechanisms contributing to the phenotype.

Can Propecia After Hair Transplant Cause Shedding Of Normal Terminal Hair?

g hairs? -- B.T., Manhattan, NY A: Our understanding is that finasteride only affects miniaturized hairs -- i.e. hair affected by DHT -- and that this is all that should be shed. Remember, however, that much of the thinning a bald person experiences is due to thousands of partially miniaturized hair, and these can look very much like a full terminal hair in its early stages.

What Does Hair Transplant Procedure Do To Existing Hair?

air on your scalp, we transplant through it. And the reason why we do that is because the miniaturized hair, the fine hair that is being affected by DHT, is eventually going to disappear, so you don’t want there to be any gaps. So the question is, does the hair transplant actually destroy the existing hair? The answer is that it doesn’t destroy, but it can “shock” it. In other words, creating recipient sites (that the grafts are placed into) will temporarily alter the local circulation of the scalp and this can cause some of the hair in the area to be shed. The reason why hair may be shed is that hair is naturally cyclical. In other words, hair is normally
