Can Hair Loss Increase During First Four Months of Treatment with Propecia?

Q: I am a 22 yr. old male and have been on Propecia for exactly 4 months. When I started taking the medication, I was in the beginning stages of hair thinning/loss in the front and crown areas, with no change in my hair line. During the time I have taken Propecia, my hair loss has increased drastically. Is it that I just have to bite the bullet and am one of the few unlucky individuals that do not respond to Propecia? Could it be that I am taking the medication incorrectly? Wrong time of day? With or without food? Or, do I just need to give it more time? Is there still a chance I could at least regain the hair I've lost over these past 4 months? -- A.B., St. Louis, Missouri A: You are probably experiencing an accelerated phase of hair loss that is possibly made worse by the finasteride. The shedding from finasteride is common during the first few months of treatment and is temporary. The full effects of Propecia are not seen for 6 to 12 months. I would continue to take the medication for at least a year before you judge if it is…

Can I Treat Early Hair Loss with Laser Comb and What Age Should I Start?

Q: If I'm 20 years old and haven't lost any hair yet, should I start using a laser comb now? A: One should not treat hair loss until it actually occurs. That said, once there is clear evidence that a person is thinning, non-surgical treatments are best started early to prevent further hair loss. It is important to keep in mind that finasteride (Propecia) is still the most effective treatment for early hair loss and has a good record for at least some long-term effectiveness. It is not clear what additional benefit the laser-comb will have.

Can Stress Cause Hair Loss or is that a Myth?

Q: I've been dealing with daily mental stress for the past few months. I've noticed that during that time, I've experienced a lot of frontal hair loss and thinning. I thought stress was a myth for causing hair loss. -- R.P., Upper East Side, Manhattan A: Stress may cause temporary shedding, but it generally does not affect the long-term course of genetic hair loss. It seems that women's hair is affected by stress more commonly than men's hair, but the reason is not clear.

Will Intermittent Use of Rogaine Stop My Hair Loss?

Q: Medical information suggests that Rogaine works for about 50% of the men who try it. Does Rogaine actually worsen hair loss in some men? The Rogaine website states that during the first three weeks of use Rogaine causes increased shedding. If true, would intermittent use of Rogaine make hair loss worse even in men for whom Rogaine would work if applied daily as directed? -- V.C. Greenpoint, Brooklyn A: Rogaine, the brand name for the drug Minoxidil, does not worsen hair loss, but can cause initial shedding (which actually shows that the drug is working). The medication should be used on a continuous basis for the long-haul. Intermittent use of the drug, or pulsing, makes no medical sense.

After a Hair Transplant Can I Replace Hair Loss Medication with Laser Therapy or Herbs?

Q: I am interested in a hair transplant, but am turned off by the apparent side effects of follow up Propecia. Could herbs serve the purpose of Propecia? Regarding laser treatments, do they work on their own, or do you need drugs to supplement? Can laser damage in some cases, rather than benefit? It seems odd that laser therapy has been undertaken in Europe for 10 years, yet there are no published studies on the results. Might this be because it doesn't work in the longer term? -- D.D., Richmond, U.K. A: Finasteride is the best medication. Herbs are not particularly effective for hair loss. You should consider trying finasteride. If you are in the 2% group that has side effects with Propecia, just stop taking the medication. If you do not experience side effects, then there is no problem taking the medication long-term. Hair transplant surgery doesn't prevent the progression of hair loss. That is why it is used in conjunction with medication. Click here to read the rest of the post.

Are There Any Lab Studies Proving that Saw Palmetto Helps Prevent Hair Loss?

Q: Have there been any lab studies proving that Saw Palmetto works to prevent hair loss? A: There have been no verifiable clinical studies that show saw palmetto can stop hair loss or cause hair to re-grow. There have been some preliminary tests showing that saw palmetto may be able to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, but its usefulness for androgenetic hair loss has not been documented in controlled studies.
