Hair Restoration Answers Is Hair Loss in Men Caused by Elevated Testosterone Levels?

Q: I was told that if men have a lot of testosterone that that's when they lose hair. Is this true? -- Y.B., Lake Forest, Illinois A: Although androgenetic hair loss is dependent upon normal levels of testosterone, it is not due to increased testosterone. It is caused by a sensitivity of the follicles to normal levels of testosterone. So someone that is bald doesn't have extra levels of male hormones and is not necessarily over-sexed.

Hair Restoration Answers Can Hair Transplant Thicken Thinning Hair in Person with Early Hair Loss?

Q: I am 22 and losing my hair all across the top of my head. How can I thicken my hair to its level a few years previously? -- I.L., Kentfield, CA A: If medication, such as finasteride, is successful it can thicken hair by increasing the diameter of the existing hair shafts. Although the cosmetic benefits can be dramatic in a person with significant hair loss, a hair transplant can not restore hair to its original density, since it only moves the existing hair around and does create new hair.

Hair Restoration Answers Can Hair Transplantation Correct Hair Loss From a Facelift?

Q: I have had a minor facelift operation and have lost a bit of hair. Have you heard of this before? The areas around the scars are the most effected. What treatments are best for this? — N.D., Westport, C.T. A: Hair loss after a brow, or face lift, is quite common. If it is cosmetically bothersome, a localized hair transplant can correct the problem. The hair can be transplanted directly into the scar (if the scar is flat) and into any surrounding areas of thinning. The complete correction may take more than one hair restoration session.

Hair Restoration Answers Multiple Hair Loss Medications: Do You Recommend Stopping One if No Improvement?

Q: If I use the dutasteride for one year and do not see a noticeable improvement can I quit the Avodart, continue the daily dose of Propecia and expect to retain the same "holding pattern" I have now? A: If Avodart is helping to maintain the status quo then you can expect to lose some hair, i.e. return to where you would have been if you had used finasteride alone.

Hair Restoration Answers Should I Use Multiple Hair Loss Medications, Such as Both Avodart and Propecia?

Q: I'm 52 years old and have been taking Propecia (finasteride) for two years. It seems to maintain the status quo with no apparent regrowth. I am considering adding a dose of Avodart (dutasteride) once a week in conjunction with the daily Propecia. My question is twofold: (1) Since dutasteride blocks production of both enzymes (type I and II) that produce DHT from testosterone, is it redundant to take the finasteride that only blocks the type I enzyme? -- Y.B., Orlando, Florida A: It is redundant to take both. However, you may not be taking the optimal dose of dutasteride which seems to be at least 0.5mg a day for hair loss.

Hair Restoration Answers Can Hair Transplant Restore Hairline in 21 Year Old With Early Hair Loss?

Q: Hi, I am a 21 year old male experiencing the first signs of hair loss as of late. I looked at your before and after pictures of hair transplant patients and honestly right now I have a lot more hair than the patients, even in the after photos. By no means do I intend to criticize your work at all, but I noticed that they still had a receding hairline. I myself am an artist and pay close attention to detail. What I want out of a hair transplantation procedure is to basically have the full head of hair that I had even before puberty. Is it possible for this to be done? A: Your concerns and goals, although understandable, are impossible to achieve through hair transplantation and is exactly the reason why we don't perform hair transplants in young persons. Surgical hair restoration can never give you your original density back since we are just redistributing a smaller amount of hair. In addition, your original hairline should not be restored since a transplanted hairline is permanent and will not evolve naturally as you age. A mature hairline must be built into the design of the first hair restoration…

Hair Restoration Answers Can a Hair Transplant Treat Hair Loss that begins in the Early 20s?

Q: I am in my early 20's and I was told my hair loss pattern is a Norwood Class 6, on its way to becoming a Class 7. My hair is brown in color and medium to coarse and I was told I have high density in my donor area. Although I was told I could have hair transplants, do you think that I should based upon what I have told you? — D.W., Pleasantville, N.Y. A: The main concern I would have is that when someone is already a Class 6 by their early 20's, he may eventually be left with only a very thin see-through fringe as he ages. A high donor density now does not ensure that this will not occur – and coarse hair at 22 does not ensure that it will not become fine over time.

Hair Restoration Answers Can Avodart Hair Loss Medication Cause Shedding?

Q: I'm male, early thirties and in the early stages of hair loss, too early for hair transplants. I am experiencing extreme shedding. I took Avodart for 6 weeks, but because of the shedding I stopped. Now, it still continues as strong as ever. I've been losing about 200 hairs every day in the shower. 3 months ago I had so much more hair, what is going on? I heard that shedding can happen, but not like this. Could this have caused telogen effluvium, or something else? -- M.M., Boston, Massachussetts A: Since Avodart (dutasteride) is a more potent medication than Propecia (finasteride), the shedding (telogen effluvium) may be more dramatic. If you have made a decision to use Avodart, then you need to tolerate this short-term effect. It should subside within the first 6 months on the drug.
