have you heard of Yunsey hair loss shock treatment product? If so, do you know how effective it is in preventing hair loss?
I have not heard of this Yunsey hair loss shock treatment. From my brief search on the internet it seems to contain “Hydrolyzed Soya Protein” and “Herbs Extract”, which I doubt to be effective in preventing hair loss.

Hello. I’ve been taking creatine on and off about 2 years now and I’ve noticed a strange pattern. Everytime I get off creatine, the hairs on my body(including scalp) grows thiner all over and some falls out. When I go back on creatine, new hair grows back much thicker and longer than it naturally would be. Most people seem to think there’s a connection between creatine and hair loss but for me it’s hair growth. Am I some sort of a freakish exception or do other people experience this?
I do not know you well enough to confirm that you are “freakish”. Kidding aside, I do not know of any good research that correlates hair growth with creatine. Most are all anecdotal evidence like your story. In other words, I unfortunately do not have an answer to your question.

doctor, I have persistantly been picking at my scalp for a year due to stress. My picking has left a red round scar on my scalp that is very noticiable. My dermatologist said that the hair would grow back, if I did not continue to pick at it. He said it would take about a year. I don’t believe him. The scar is very noticeable and very embarrassing….Can you help. I can send you a picture if needed.
thanks in advance.
I tell hair pickers that they must wait for up to one complete telogen cycle to find out if the hair comes back. A telogen cycle may last 3-6 months. Usually, if the hair is not growing in a month, the suggestion is that the damage done may be permanent, but prior to more radical treatment such as hair transplants, this conclusion is not 100%. Also, it is important that you know for sure that the picking has been stopped.

I have been using the Hairmax Lasercomb now for about 5 months and have noticed that my hair is thicker BUT not necessarily thicker from the root or epidermis.. It seems like it makes thin hair look thick but it still falls out at an alarming rate and still ACTS like thin hair. On some of the hair that falls out, you can tell that around the bulb area the hair is still thin-and then on other hairs, it looks thick all the way through which is encouraging. What is your reaction to this?
I am not sure if you are stating that you are seeing a benefit, even though your hair is falling out. If it is working for you, I am happy for you. If you can achieve the same (or better) thickening result from a product like Toppik, wouldn’t that be a cheaper solution?
I know that I tell everyone that they should get their hair mapped out for miniaturization to obtain a metric for change, and I’ll recommend doing so again — then you could put numbers to what you are telling me about.

cocaine and propecia? would cocaine help to balance out the libido problem?!
Are you asking for approval to use cocaine for a libido problem?
Cocaine is a potent (and illegal) substance that constricts your blood vessels. To have an erection, you need the opposite to occur and cocaine is known to produce sexual dysfunction.

This man had the ugly, pluggy hair transplant procedure that was common in the mid 80s. Unfortunately, many, many people think that this is the standard and that if they have a hair transplant, this is what they are going to look like. I spend a great deal of time trying to explain away these types of results, telling prospective patients that today’s standards are so natural that you can not tell them from a person who did not lose their hair. Now with that said, here is a patient that has had some repair work for his old-style hair transplants. Unfortunately, he did not have enough donor hair to fix it the way I would have liked to do it, but what he shows here is much better than what he had when he first came to see me. I asked him if he would talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly and he sat down with me to talk about what it’s like for someone who has this kind of ‘old’ hair transplant work, how difficult it is to fix, and what the limitations are for someone looking to fix a bad job.
How long until the new grafts are secure and safe from loss?
For example, If I take a week off from work and return to work on day 7 post-op, are the new grafts secure?
Beyond day 7 post-op, is there anything in normal day to day activities that can damage the new grafts (excluding any type of catastrophic accident)?
Unless you actively pick at the grafts, the newly transplanted grafts are generally secure after the first 24-48 hours. If there are scabs on them, they can be pulled out by pulling on the scabs, so we always wash any scabbing away so that there is no graft anchoring to the scabs. Normal day to day activity should not affect the grafts, unless your normal day to day activity requires you to wear abrasive helmets or bounce soccer balls on your head… you get the idea.
I’ve only taken propecia for 6 days but I’ve noticed some side effects is it possible it could have had such effects so quickly? I’m experiencing erectile difficulties and less facial hair. Age 17.
I could believe that sexual dysfunction might occur as quickly as 1 weeks. Some of the men who are very sensitive to Propecia and get ED or libido problems have reported that the side effect comes on quickly. The loss of acial hair is a new one for me in that short a time frame. If I could get the beard effect without the ED effect, I would love the product even more than I do now.

Is there any reason to take Propecia versus the generic version. I have been on the generic for a 7 months and the balding has gotten worse (I am 23). Also, do you have recommendations for where to get generic Propecia?
There is no generic Propecia available legally in the US. I realize other countries may manufacture finasteride in 1mg strength, but Propecia is still under patent protection in much of the western world.
There is a generic finasteride available in 5mg strength — any pharmacy should have it, provided that your doctor prescribes you 5mg finasteride. Some patients cut the 5mg tablet into 1/4ths to save money. There may be problems in cutting down the pill into smaller pieces and the partial tablets will have the problem of hydrating with humidity so do not cut more than one at a time (every 4 days) and keep it in a sealed container. Be sure that the company that makes it is legit and you are getting what you are buying!

Hi, I currently have long hair and have noticed quite a bit of thinning in the front and on the crown. I heard that you can lose more hair if it’s long because the roots are weaker. I don’t want to cut my hair because it hides my balding look better. If I keep my hair long will the rate of baldness increase? Thank you very much!
Long hair does not increase the risk of balding. People can get better coverage with long hair rather than short hair, but long hair in the face of genetic thinning, can be easily damaged with rough brushing, more so than short hair so the techniques and the brushes used are important for those who have thinning hair.
