Instead of Hair Transplant, Can You Treat Early Hair Loss with Once a Day Minoxidil?

Q: I have some early thinning in my crown and the doctor said I am too early for a hair transplant. I don't want to take Propecia, but using Rogaine twice a day is a big nuisance. Can I use Rogaine once a day? -- L.B., Cleveland, Ohio A: The tissue half-life of minoxidil is 22 hours. This means that 22 hours after it is applied, about 1/2 of the compound is still bound to the skin and exerting some effect. Because of this, once a day dosing is probably OK. Please note that this is hypothetical and that there have been no controlled studies to confirm this.

Can Hair Loss Treatment with Propecia Affect Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Level?

Q: I have been on Propecia for approximately 5 years. What does Propecia do to your PSA level, lower it or make it higher? Also, what would you consider a normal level while on Propecia? -- H.K., Long Island City, N.Y. A: Finasteride 1mg a day lowers your PSA around 50%. Therefore, when patients are taking finasteride, the PSA reading should be doubled. Finasteride does not appear to decrease the sensitivity of the PSA test to detect prostate cancer - its main purpose.

Is Nioxin An Effective Hair Loss Treatment, And Is It Safe Or Advisable To Use?

Q: I have been using Rogaine and Propecia, but recently purchased a bottle of Nioxin Cleanser/Shampoo. However, I am reluctant to apply it because I have noticed that the Nioxin website recommends against mixing Nioxin products with Rogaine products. Do you think that it is safe or advisable to use the Nixon shampoo? Is there any indication that this product is even effective? Any advice? A: Nioxin has no active ingredients that can grow hair. There is an increased incidence of scalp irritation when used with Rogaine – i.e., the likely reason for their warning. I would stick with the medications that are proven to work, i.e. finasteride and minoxidil.
