Miniaturization

The hair follicle growth cycle consists of three phases: a growth phase (“anagen”), a transitional phase (“catagen”), and a resting phase (“telogen”). In susceptible hair follicles, the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can, over time, cause the growth phase of the hair cycle to become progressively shorter. As a result, the individual hairs produced by these follicles decrease in size (diameter and length) until they eventually disappear. This process is called “miniaturization.” It is the main mechanism in androgenetic alopecia (genetic balding). Miniaturization: The Mechanismin Genetic BaldingNormal scalp hair grows in follicular units made up of one to four terminal (full thickness) hairs. The terminal hairs in any single DHT-susceptible follicular unit might be in varying stages of miniaturization, and thus be of varying diameters. When enough terminal hairs are in a state of miniaturization, there appears to be a visible thinning of the hair in the affected areas. As more hairs in each follicular unit become miniaturized, the process may lead to complete baldness in that area of the scalp.

Diagnosis

Physician Consult The diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in men is generally straightforward. It is made by observing a “patterned” distribution of hair loss and confirmed by observing the presence of miniaturized hair in the areas of thinning.

Using the Term “Re-do” in Describing Additional Hair Transplant Repair Procedures

He had never been prescribed medication. I told him that his transplant(s) hadn’t failed but that a number of things had happened: he probably got shock loss after each surgery, he continued to thin in the forelock and crown and he wasn’t advised properly. I asked if he had returned to the clinics. No to the FUE as it was overseas, yes to the second clinic where they offered a “redo”. The patient refused as “the first operation didn’t work.” So my question is should we be actively doing something to discourage the use of terms such as “the redo” that seem to me to not only admit to liability for a bad result but to make it an expected rather than an uncommon outcome?
