Bernstein Medical News Dr. Shaver on Causes of Female Hair Loss and Effective Treatments

mplex and varied causes of female hair loss over her career as a dermatologic surgeon. She recently spoke to SheFinds.com about whether women can use minoxidil, a hair loss treatment that is more often recommended for men with genetic thinning. While men and women both experience hair loss, the diagnosis and treatment can look quite different for each gender. Female hair loss is more likely due to other than purely genetic causes. For example, hair loss in women can often arise from changes in diet, hormones or medications. If hair loss is genetic, the only proven topical treatment is minoxidil. Serums that contain this compound may be useful, those without it are unlikely to work. And, of course, one can buy minoxidil in the pharmacy without a prescription. “For women, I often recommend using 2-3 droppers (2-3 milliliters) of [minoxidil] to fully coat the entire area of concern. It needs to contact the scalp for 4-6 hours to be effective,” Dr. Shaver said. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Scalp Micro-Pigmentation and Platelet Rich Plasma are other useful treatments for hair loss in women.

Hair Restoration Research Follicular Unit Transplantation

wait until a person is 25 before considering surgical hair restoration. With the availability of effective medications for hair loss (finasteride and minoxidil) delaying surgery has become somewhat easier, since, in addition to growing or maintaining hair, they can be used to temporize the patient until hair transplantation is indicated. Barring untoward reactions, finasteride should always be used at least one year before judging its effectiveness. The patient should be warned that during the first 6 months, hair loss may be accelerated from these medications. There are several important reasons not to perform surgery when a person is too young. First, the extent and rate of hair loss is more difficult to predict. Second, as discussed above, a diagnosis of DUPA may be missed. Third, the younger patient commonly wants his adolescent hairline and density restored. Restoring the hairline to its original position will look unnatural as the patient ages. Restoring a patient's original density, of course, is not a realistic goal of a hair transplant, which services only to redistribute existing hair. By the time a patient reaches his mid-20's he is more likely to be forward-looking and have expectations that can be satisfied with surgery. Hair and Scalp…

Hair Restoration Answers Do Propecia and Rogaine Act Synergistically?

Q: I have read on numerous websites that Propecia and Minoxidil work synergistically, and that a hair loss sufferer will see better results using them together than either one alone. Do you believe this is the case, or do you think Propecia is enough treatment by itself for someone who just began to experience slight hair thinning and is too early for hair transplantation? -- K.V., Hewlett Bay Park, New York

Hair Restoration Answers Is it Possible To Have a Robotic FUE Hair Transplant on the Crown Area with African Hair at 26 Years of Age?

Q: I am 26 years old and have been suffering from hair loss for 8 years. I have been on Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) during those years. Unfortunately my hair loss has continued to progress aggressively. I am of half African and Caucasian descent, and my hair is curly. I understand that there are certain limitations on having hair transplants before you are 35, however I do not mind having another transplant in a few years, if necessary. -- A.L., Rye, N.Y.
