Hi,About how long (or how many sessions) does it take to map out the miniaturization of the scalp for men?
Thanks!
The process just takes a few minutes and is amazingly simple to do. You should map your scalp around once a year to see if any medication is working (or if you’re not on medication, you can see how fast your hair loss is progressing).
I’ve considered selling (or just pointing you to a site that sells) a hand held USB microscope to connect to your computer and making an instructional video to show how you can map out your own head. The only thing holding me back is the costs of a good USB microscope (trying to find one that is affordable to all), but it will still be less than the cost for a visit to your doctor’s office. Does anyone have interest in something like this?

This would definently be helpful! If anything people can buy a USB scope that best fits their budget, with the understanding that a lower quality device will yield less definitive tracking and progression results
yeah that would be awesome!
Totally agree!
It actually already exists, I saw one made by some Japanese company not to long ago, not sure where I saw it but I know its out there (usb) type.
I’ll take one.
What are you thinking? You are asking many people that have trouble reading the oil levels on a dip stick to determine as to whether, or not, they have miniaturized hairs. GOOD LUCK!
I actually thought about becoming a hair transplant consultant, but was discouraged, because of comments I have read here. After this I may reconsider. Perhaps I could help you sell your new……whatever it is?
Nevertheless, if I were to have a transplant Rassman would be the one. BTW, Avodart is better than Propecia and has fewer side effects.

Please…that would be wonderful!
Yes. I would definately buy it.
This will be a very good idea.Can it be made available in the UK as well.
