Should Finasteride and Dutasteride be taken on the same day? For example: should I take Dutasteride in the morning, then Finasteride at night?
It makes no sense to use both dutasteride and finasteride. Pick one or the other. Get a doctor to advise you.
A graft should represent a Follicular Unit which contains between 1-4 hairs each. When an FUE is done, the surgeon usually cherry picks the larger grafts to give you more hair per graft, so that 3000 grafts should give you about 6000 or more hairs. A good surgeon actually counts these hairs and grafts, and can and should make these counts available to you after the surgery. IF the surgeon doesn’t offer this, then maybe the surgeon is hiding something from you.

Finasteride gets its peak results in 18 months, although many people see the hair loss slow or stop in a few months

I have written before, forgive the repeated question (I have not seen it answered to date). I’m 36, female, thin hair. Is there a certain amount of thinning hair that should have taken place to be on Minoxidil (generic Rogaine-women)? It’s over the counter, and I’m having hair shedding now, due to either childbirth (I had a baby 5 months ago) or medications. My hair is thin and my dermatologist recomended I take minixidil for three months, tapering off it at that point, to get hair jump-started growing. I’m scared to not stay on it once I start it for fear of losing hair again, and want to know if there’s anything wrong with being on Minoxidil if you are not really thin-haired or balding? What constitutes the need for it? Is it up to the consumer?
If you have lost hair from the pregnancy, chances are that your hair loss will reverse over the next 6 months or so. You might want to hold off on the minoxidil, just for the reasons you suggest. If the hair came back and you were on the medication, you might ascribe it to the drug rather than the normal reversal which you will probably experience. If after 5-6 months, you still have not had your hair loss begin reversing, then consider the drug at that time.

I have thinning hair on the top of my head. Should I apply minoxidil after a shower when the hair is still damp, or wait till it dries? If I apply when it is wet, it seems like more gets to the scalp since less gets absorbed by the hair and is easier to apply in between the hairs. But if the skin is nearly saturated with water, won’t less medicine get absorbed? The instructions don’t cover this.
I would use a towel to dry your hair and then apply minoxidil while the scalp circulation is increased from the warm water.
Ever since week two post op, I’ve been experiencing a lot of stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, and even panic attacks a few times. All of this is due to family issues, losing my job, and an underlying depression. These stressful issues have resulted in a very inflamed scalp. I’m now 2 months post op. My question is, can any of this, especially the stress/anxiety and inflamed scalp have permanently killed off my grafts?
Please help me. I’m at an all time low. Thank you
No, your hair will grow regardless of the stress you are undergoing.

Generally, the dermaroller (the microneedling device) induces Anagen, a single hair cycle and it should be sustained for the duration of the growth cycle. After the hair goes into telogen (about 2-3 years for men and 3-5 years for women), the pre-treatment state should return so you would have to go through the entire dermroller treatment all over again. Microneedling induces wound healing and the release of inflammatory molecules that can stimulate hair growth bringing hairs that have stem cell present back to functioning and into the anagen growth cycle.

That is the ultimate question. When a person goes bald, the hairs disappear, but many experts believe that below the skin in these men, at least for a number of months or years, the stem cells for hair growth are still there. We like to call that dormant, but they may have died off. Nobody knows!

I’m a 27-year-old white male with a receding hairline. I’m afraid of finasteride sides, so I’m interested in having hair from elsewhere on my head put into the forehead area. However, will I just keep losing hair further up where it wasn’t implanted. And I read the hair loss should be “stable” to do this surgery, what does that mean? Thanks
