Q: Can Rogaine Cause Miniaturization? When I am on Rogaine it seems - to my untrained eye - that I am having hair miniaturization and when I stopped briefly, I had shedding. Does this seem accurate based on what you have seen? Can Rogaine cause miniaturization? Is there a point you would recommend I stop Rogaine or is it something that likely can’t cause a negative impact on hair? -- B.T., Brooklyn, NY A: Minoxidil reverses miniaturization. It does not cause it. Shedding can occur after starting use of Rogaine but this means the medication is working should resolve with continued use. New miniaturized hairs are either from the progression of your genetic male pattern hair loss or newly forming hair that was stimulated by the minoxidil which can mimic miniaturized hair.

Cosmetic Surgery Times features Dr. Bernstein's presentation to the 55th annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in their April 1997 issue. The article describes Dr. Bernstein's introduction of the concept of Follicular Unit Transplantation to the academy as well as the keys to making the technique successful. From the article: "'Hair doesn't grow singly it grows in naturally occurring groups of from one to four hairs. In follicular transplantation, we use these naturally occurring groups as the unit of the transplant,' he told CST. Although the procedure is highly labor intensive, it can actually be less expensive than conventional hair replacement surgery, because it can be performed in a single, but lengthy, session. 'It is also much more efficient and conserves donor hair much better than conventional hair transplants. Every time you make an incision in the person’s scalp you waste some hair and make the remaining hair more difficult to remove. Accessing the donor area just once or twice will increase the total amount of hair that is available for the transplant,' Dr. Bernstein told CST."
The following is a portion of "An Idea Whose Time Has Come," an editorial written by O’Tar T. Norwood, MD -- founder of the Norwood Classification System for Hair Loss -- and published in the May/June 1997 issue of "Hair Transplant Forum International": I just returned from visiting Dr. Bob Bernstein in New York, and was impressed with his operation and even more impressed with his thoughts, observations, and insights into hair transplant surgery. He applies scientific methods to his work, is academically honest, and has an almost eerie instinctive knowledge of hair transplant surgery. Of course he has Dr. Bill Rassman to work with, but it is still remarkable. Dr. Bernstein is best known for introducing follicular transplantation to hair transplant surgery, an idea Bob Limmer has been pushing for ten years with the use of the binocular microscope, but no one would listen to him. Dr. Limmer, however, never used the term follicular transplantation. Using the microscope, you automatically dissect the follicular units. It can’t be avoided if done properly.
"Good Morning America" interviewed Dr. Bernstein in their two-part series on hair transplant surgery. Below is an excerpt from the interview: Charles Gibson: Are there good candidates and bad candidates for this? Dr. Bernstein: Yes. And actually people that wear hairpieces are sometimes tricky because their baseline is a full head of hair, so one of the important things that we had to discuss in the first consult was what his expectations were and whether he realized that a transplant wouldn't give him the fullness of a hairpiece, but of course, it would look much more natural. Watch the full interview.
