Hi doc
People who want to change sex never lose its hair because of hormonal therapies. Now, obviously I don’t want to do that, but I’ve got an idea: If we inject onto the scalp estrogen using a dermoroller, would hair loss be stopped forever?
Please answer to my question
While it is a creative approach, estrogen injected superficially into the scalp with a Dermaroller can not add value nor prevent balding. I have seen some effects of such injections by dermatologists in the “old days” and what happened is that they lose hair at the injection sites. The end result is that some came to see me about their hair loss.
