Hi Doctor,
I know everyone is genetically different in their balding patterns, speed, etc. but how long does it generally take for miniaturization to turn a healthy hair folicle into one that can’t grow any hair? Weeks? Months? Thanks!
You are right — everyone is different. The hair you see on top of your head reflects about 1/2 inch per month of growth. Miniaturization can take months or possibly even years to appear.
