Hair Restoration Answers What is your Opinion of Nutrafol?

Q: What's your honest take on Nutrafol? It is a product my dermatologist has recommended for my hair loss. -- N.S. ~ New York, N.Y. A: The traditional thinking is that that male pattern alopecia (androgenetic alopecia) is due to follicular sensitivity to DHT causing miniaturization and eventual loss of hair. The premise of Nutrafol is that hair loss is multi-factorial with an important inflammatory component and that it is important to address the inflammation as well as the DHT sensitivity. This is a relatively new and important concept (I would like to stress this point!). However, the big leap is their conclusion: Since hair loss is multi-factorial, then broad, rather than targeted treatments would be most beneficial, and since naturally occurring "phytochemicals" are broader in action than targeted, FDA approved drugs (like and minoxidil), they should offer benefit in the treatment of hair loss and Nutrafol is the elixir that can accomplish this. Although this makes sense in concept, there is no scientific evidence that Nutrafol can actually reverse or/mitigate androgenetic alopecia or any other type of hair loss. We need independent, blinded, controlled studies to show that Nutrafol actually works. Until then, it is very difficult to recommend…

Hair Restoration Research Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration – Part II

Synopsis: Together with Part I, Basic Repair Strategies, these paired articles define the state-of-the-art in correcting the cosmetic problems that resulted from outdated hair restoration techniques and/or poor surgical planning. This section emphasizes the importance of graft excision and re-implantation prior to camouflage in order to achieve the best outcome. It details the specific techniques needed for the graft excision and explains the aesthetic nuances of the camouflage.

Hair Restoration Research Densitometry and Video-Microscopy

Synopsis: Densitometry and video-microscopy are techniques that analyze the scalp under high-power magnification to give information on hair density, follicular unit composition and degree of miniaturization. They can be used to help evaluate a patient’s candidacy for hair transplantation and help predict future hair loss. The measurements will enable the physician to better estimate the size of the donor strip and anticipate the aesthetic outcome of the hair restoration procedure. This paper describes the value of these techniques in the hair transplant evaluation.

Bernstein Medical Page Shedding After Transplant

This page discusses the causes and effects of shedding after hair transplant surgery, as well as strategies to minimize or control the amount of shedding after a procedure. It is important to differentiate between post-operative shedding of normal, non-transplanted hair and shedding of hair from grafts that were transplanted.

Bernstein Medical Page Miniaturization

The hair follicle growth cycle consists of three phases: a growth phase (“anagen”), a transitional phase (“catagen”), and a resting phase (“telogen”). In susceptible hair follicles, the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can, over time, cause the growth phase of the hair cycle to become progressively shorter. As a result, the individual hairs produced by these follicles decrease in size (diameter and length) until they eventually disappear. This process is called “miniaturization.” It is the main mechanism in androgenetic alopecia (genetic balding). Miniaturization: The Mechanismin Genetic BaldingNormal scalp hair grows in follicular units made up of one to four terminal (full thickness) hairs. The terminal hairs in any single DHT-susceptible follicular unit might be in varying stages of miniaturization, and thus be of varying diameters. When enough terminal hairs are in a state of miniaturization, there appears to be a visible thinning of the hair in the affected areas. As more hairs in each follicular unit become miniaturized, the process may lead to complete baldness in that area of the scalp.

Bernstein Medical Page Diagnosis

Physician Consult The diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in men is generally straightforward. It is made by observing a “patterned” distribution of hair loss and confirmed by observing the presence of miniaturized hair in the areas of thinning. Miniaturization is the progressive decrease of the hair shaft’s diameter and length that occurs in response to androgens. […]

The latter procedure is now performed robotically […]
