Doc, I really appreciate this blog which I consider, by the way, the funniest blog on the Internet about hairloss. My question is about maintainance. You have written many times that baldness will catch up all of us sooner or later but, on the other hand, some people, mostly in their early twenties are still maintaining after ten years, their benefits of Finasteride. According to these: you think that those who are taking Finasteride will lose most of their retained hair, maybe … [visit site to read more]

You recently stated that you would need to see a well-controlled scientific study to be convinced that PRP would be worth the cost. I was wondering if you were aware of any such study. I’m sure doctors and patients alike would be eager to see the results if in fact a study is currently underway.

The popularity of PRP treatment seems to be increasing and I get the impression (just from what I read online) that more and more doctors are adopting the … [visit site to read more]

What product will you recommend for hair thickening and to stop hair-loss. When do you think Follica will be ready with the miracle drug?

For hair thickening, there are a variety of products like volumizing shampoos and protein fibers that you can apply to your hair. I don’t have any specific recommendation for these, as they’re over the counter and you can try them as you like. Some work better than others to give the illusion of thicker hair, but none of them … [visit site to read more]

It’s literally like I have two different kinds of hair everywhere on my body. On my head I have brown normal hairs much like my father and Black thick really curly ones, I have noticed there are a few … [visit site to read more]

The Medical Board of California sends each licensed physician notification of doctors who are being investigated by them for a variety of problems as well as doctors who have been disciplined by the Medical Board. With the Michael Jackson fiasco in mind, I read about a doctor who is under investigation for … [visit site to read more]

Thank you again for maintaining this blog. It’s very informative. I have two questions:

  1. What does it generally mean when a man loses hair at the vertex first? I understand that every one is different, but do people who lose hair in the vertex and have little to no hair loss at the hair line tend to maintain their hair line? The Norwood scale suggests that hair loss usually begins with a receding hairline, with hair loss in the crown coming later. Also, I have … [visit site to read more]

    Dr. Thank you for this informative site.D o you have any thoughts on using minoxidil other than Rogaine. DS Labs has there own formula DNC and a brand new formula DNC-L for advanced stages of balding. I don’t know if this company can be trusted due to it’s claims the their shampoo Revita will stop hair loss. It’s website is impressive and I do like the shampoo.

    Former tennis star Andre Agassi has admitted the lion mane-style hairstyle he sported during the 1990s was actually a wig, in extracts from his autobiography published in British newspapers Saturday.

    Agassi said he wore a hairpiece held together with pins in his first Grand Slam final, the 1990 French Open final, and blamed his concerns that it would fall apart for losing the match to Andres Gomez.

    Before the match he prayed “not for victory, but … [visit site to read more]

    I have been on propecia for about 6 months and it seems to have stopped my shedding. I read somewhere that Lexapro can cause hair loss. If i start taking Lexapro 10mg can it still cause hair loss even if i’m taking propecia?

    The drugs that cause hair loss are not protected by taking Propecia. Keep in mind that Lexapro doesn’t cause hair loss for everyone taking it, but it is a … [visit site to read more]
