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.

Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP): a Permanent Cosmetic Tattoo to Conceal Hair Loss and Camouflage Scalp Scars

According to an article published in the journal of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics, scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) has been found to be a useful cosmetic treatment for hair loss and scalp scars. SMP is a scalp tattooing technique that uses fine dots - like a stippled painting - to mimic the appearance of extremely short hairs on an otherwise bald scalp. SMP can create the appearance of a fuller head of hair on a scalp that is losing hair by softening the contrast between the hair that remains and the color of the scalp. It can also effectively camouflage a scalp scar, like the donor scar from a strip hair transplant procedure, the scar from a scalp reduction or scars from trauma to the scalp. Finally, SMP can help augment the results from either a Follicular Unit Hair Transplant (FUT) or a Robotic FUE Transplant (R-FUE), especially for patients who do not have enough donor hair to give the appearance of full coverage.

How Do You Recommend Treating Early Hair Loss?

Q: I am 27 years old and have a Class 3 degree of hair loss. Should I do a hair transplant or consider non-surgical methods of hair restoration? -- Y.B., Lake Forest Illinois A: At age 27 with early hair loss, you should consider non-surgical options first. Propecia is the most important medication, but you need to be on it for one year at the full dose of 1mg a day to assess its benefits. If you have done this and other parameters are OK for a hair transplant, such as adequate donor hair density and scalp laxity and you have little evidence that you will become extensively bald (i.e. no donor miniaturization and no family history of extensive baldness), then hair transplantation can be considered.

Does Hair Transplant Prevent Hair Loss?

Q: How does a hair transplant prevent hair loss? — M.M., White Plains, N.Y. A: It doesn't. Surgical hair restoration does just what it says. It restores hair to an area where the hair has been lost (by borrowing it from an area of greater density that is less important cosmetically, such as the back of the scalp). To prevent, or slow down, further balding one would need to receive treatment with hair loss medication such as finasteride (Propecia).
