Yes, hair loss is progressive and these medications buy time for you. Everyone is different in regards to how long these medications work.

Miniaturized hairs get thinner and thinner until they disappear. That is the normal course for miniaturized hairs. Drugs like finasteride, ofter reverse the miniaturization process.
Some men believe that hard exercise increases testosterone and thereby increases hair loss. That is not the case.

I saw a story that showed a hair transplant using the ARTAS system. The only downside to ARTAS is the machine only extracts grafts and doesn’t place them. I know you mentioned you had a patent to placing the grafts once they are extracted. Any idea on when Restoration Robotics will use that patent of yours?
The folks at Restoration Robotics know about my patents for placement of grafts. I am not privileged to know what they have planned for future versions of their ARTAS system, but I am sure that they will eventually automate the placement of grafts.
I don’t know how far along, if at all, they are with going down that path, but it would be the next logical step in their automation process.
The DHT blockers like Finasteride are what we call competitive inhibitors, and only block the action of DHT on the hair follicle. Significant amounts of the production of DHT will still continue.

I am 23 and have experienced significant hairloss in the past 5 months. I did not start taking Propecia and now I am currently studying in China and the medication is unavailable here. To stop the anxiety of noticing my rapid hairloss I was considering shaving my head. Will this at all increase the rate of hairloss until I can begin treatment on Propecia, Minoxidil, etc?
Shaving your head will have no impact on your hair loss, one way or the other.
Is it true that women that shave their legs all the time eventually will have less and less hair growing on their legs? What I’m getting at is, as a 23 year old man that shaves his head daily, if I decide in a few years to grow my hair out again am I going to run the risk of going bald from all the shaving? I’ve been shaving my head completely bald since I was a teenager and have no hair loss in my immediate family that I know of. And before I started shaving my head, I had no visible loss. I just want to know if I’m hurting my hair by shaving it off every morning.
Thanks!!!
These are old wives tales and have no truth to them. A similar myth is also shaving the head will make the hairs grow out thicker or fuller. False!

Shaving your head will not change anything about your balding problem. The truth hurts!
