Hair Restoration Answers Can Hair Loss Increase on Propecia for Four Months?

Q: I believe I am an "early" IIIA or IVA. I am not losing any hair on the back of the scalp. There is no substantial hereditary hair loss on either side of the family, but I began taking Propecia four months ago and recently noticed a dramatic thinning of hair on the top (front) of the scalp, extending back to the rear of the head. -- B.M., Lower East Side, N.Y. A: Often people experience some shedding the first six months on finasteride as the new hair essentially pushes out some of the old. I would wait a full year before making any judgments about a hair transplant since you may see significant regrowth from finasteride in the second six months and may not need surgery at this point, particularly if the hair loss is early.

Hair Restoration Answers Is Laser Therapy a Revolutionary Hair Loss Treatment?

Q: The makers of the HairMax LaserComb have claimed that it will "revolutionize the hair growth industry." What do you think? A: This claim is obviously overstated. Since the Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) doesn't affect the action of DHT on hair follicles, it doesn't affect the underlying cause of genetic hair loss, and thus would be expected only to have limited effectiveness. The company's own studies show that this is, indeed, the case.

Hair Restoration Answers What is Origin of Laser Therapy for Hair Loss?

Q: Is the use of Low Level Light Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair loss new? A: These lasers have been used for hair loss in Europe for almost ten years. Classified as a cosmetic laser, they are safe for human cosmetic use. The original research in this technology was carried out at the Wellman Labs for Photomedicine at Harvard University.

Hair Restoration Answers How Does the Laser Therapy (LLLT) Hair Loss Treatment Work?

Q: I heard about the laser comb and other lasers for hair loss, how do they work? A: Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is based on the scientific principle of photobiotherapy. Photobiotherapy occurs when laser light, absorbed by cells, causes stimulation of cell metabolism and improved blood flow. Although the exact mechanism by which lasers promote hair growth is still unknown, they appear to stimulate the follicles on the scalp by increasing energy production and partially reversing the miniaturization process leading to thicker hair shafts and a fuller look.

Hair Restoration Answers How do You Treat Early Hair Loss in Women?

Q: I am a 33 year old women and am just starting to thin on the top of my scalp behind my frontal hairline. What should I do? Should I have a hair transplant? A: There are a number of things that you should consider that can be effective in early hair loss. These include minoxidil (Rogaine), laser therapy, and using cosmetics specifically made to make the hair appear fuller. Lightening or streaking the hair, as well as parting the hair off to the side, will also make the hair appear fuller. If a surgical hair restoration is performed too early and there is still a lot of existing hair in the area, the hair transplant may actually accelerate hair loss. Surgery should not be performed prematurely. Also, it is important that the doctor check the stability of the donor area, using densitometry, to make sure that the procedure is even possible. For those women who are good candidates, and if it is done at the appropriate time, a follicular unit hair transplant is a great procedure that can produce really natural results.

Hair Restoration Answers Why is there a Different Consultation Fee for Diffuse Thinning versus Patterned Hair Loss?

Q: Why is the consult fee more for diffuse thinning than for a regular visit? -- B.F., Altherton, CA A: Diffuse hair loss, more common in women, can be the result of a number of underlying medical conditions and therefore it usually requires an extended medical evaluation. If you are a male or female with obvious diffuse thinning from androgenetic alopecia (common baldness), or if you have patterned hair loss where the diagnosis is straightforward, the fee is less because an extensive evaluation is not required.

Hair Restoration Answers What Does Hair Transplant Evaluation or Hair Loss Consultation Cost?

Q: Didn’t you do free consults in the past? -- N.F., Bronxville, NY A: Yes. It had been in response to the policy of the larger chains. Patients coming to our practice are evaluated by a board certified dermatologist, trained in diagnosing the causes of your hair loss with expertise in both medical and surgical management. Our consults are not just screens for surgery. Read more information on becoming a new patient on the Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration website.

Hair Restoration Answers Before a Hair Loss Evaluation, Should I Fast or Change My Diet?

Q: I am a 47 year old woman with thinning on the top of my scalp for three years. I think I want to go for a comprehensive evaluation for hair loss and know that the doctor may want to take blood tests to help find out the cause of my hair loss. I am not sure if I need to fast before I come in? -- R.B., West University Place, TX A: Fasting is not necessary for a comprehensive evaluation. The comprehensive diagnosis may include hair pull tests, hair pluck, hair density measurements, anagen telogen ratios, scalp biopsies and laboratory (blood) tests but no pre-test fasting or other preparation is necessary.
