hi, doctor in one of the topics you said propecia is like testosterone. here is the link
I thought finasteride wasn’t a steroid hormone.
Thank you for pointing that out. It was an error in our part, and I guess it went unnoticed for nearly 6 years. It should have stated DHT (not Propecia) is like testosterone in that it is one of the male hormones.
We have corrected it. Sorry for the confusion.
From these photos I took off of the internet, the suggestion is that the virus was in Bats, frogs or snakes eaten by people in China. Then the Virus mutated to spread similar to many of the Flu viruses which propagate through saliva and our breadth. We breath out the virus and spread it before it becomes symptomatic and that is what is dangerous about this particular virus (we don’t know who has it for a few days until symptoms appear). Some people will almost certainly be carriers of the virus, never developing symptoms which is not atypical for this type of virus. UPDATE as of 21/29/2020 Recent reports indicate that the incubation period is 3 days from exposure to symptoms.

This is a 44 year old male who had a juvenile hairline in 2010 when he came in as the corners were eroding. He didn’t like that and although I rarely will transplant these corners, I did on him because he was 36 and still had his juvenile hairline. Today he came in with a complaint of some increasing hair loss on his right side just outside the area that was transplanted in 2010 which shows nicely on the first photo. The left side has held nicely since that 2010 surgery.
I performed a HAIRCHECK test on him which showed that his hair population is now 80% of what it was 8 years ago, so he is losing hair in the first 3 inches of his hairline (what I call the frontal area). He has been on Avodart since 2010 and this recent hairloss, has occurred while he was on this drug. He wants his juvenile hairline back with its tight look. I agreed to do this and also recommended that he address the 20% thinning in the frontal 3 inches with Scalp Micropigmentation. The pictures below show what was done on the day of the surgery.

This 22 year old, very obsessed with a very early thinning of his right and left corner hairline, went to a doctor before seeing me. The doctor recommended 1500 grafts for him. In my opinion, there was not way that such a recommendation was warranted because (2) he was too young to have a hair transplant, and (2) if he was over 26, it will would not require 1500 grafts other than for the doctor to pay his car expenses. There seems to be a license by doctors to victimize patient at will, and as a patient comes in holding the doctor in great esteem, this is a full abuse of his license and his profession. I condemn this practice, all too common by doctors in this field of hair transplantation. In the photos you can see marginal thinning and with his hair shaved, some thinning is clearly present. This will be best treated with finasteride which will probably reverse the process but unfortunately, the doctor won’t make any money for prescribing this medication
Multiple articles have been appearing in scientific and medical journal lately that show that the infusion of blood from young people into older people can improve brain function in people with aging diseases of the brain including dementia. In the recent issue of New Scientist, a small article reflecting work done at Stanford University in California where human blood was collect from people of different ages and then the plasma was infused into mice whoch were, in human terms, 50 years old. The greatest effect was seen when human cord blood from babies umbilical cord was used. The mice learned better and faster and show enhanced activity in the part of the brain called the Hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory.

Dear doctor, this site has been helping me and guiding me a lot about hair loss. I suggested my brother to start Propecia 3 years ago and with doctor’s prescription he started it and has really been doing very well. Propecia controlled his hair loss and he even got some reversal. He was very happy about it till 2 months ago, where he was prescribed COQ10 by one of his endocrinologist. He started reading all kinds of information regarding COQ10 interactions with finasteride and found this article.
He became so nervous about parathyroid tumor they mentioned in that web site. He is blaming me for suggesting such drug to him now. He has been taking Co-enzyme 10 since 2 months and is worried a lot whether the parathyroid tumour has already started. Please please help him with his anxiety. Do they really interact with each other? What is the solution for such problem.? Your reply will help him get rid of his anxiety.
The COQ10 interaction is news to me. Although I doubt a parathyroid tumor connection, if that is one of his worries, he should seek medical attention to calm his fears. Parathyroid tumors can be diagnosed if he has one.
Have you ever heard of copper peptides for follical enlargment, hair growth, wound and scar tissue healing? Is there anything to it?
thanks
That site suggests that if you have guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits, rats, dogs, and a few other mammals, that they can repair their tissues and possibly live longer. I am not sure that I want my 14 year old dog to outlive me, but perhaps that’s just me.
I actually have used copper peptides to reduce the degree of redness in wounds in those people who are prone to get red after a scratch or surgery. Originally, the company claimed that it accelerated hair growth after a hair transplant, so we tried that on a number of people and did not find that it worked as a growth accelerator. The observation of reduced redness is what called my attention to some value for the compound.

Is there any truth that copper peptide spray can encourage hair that is dormant. Ive heard it reduces the time the hair spends resting. Thanks
In our experience and from what I know, copper peptide promotes wound healing, not hair growth.

Many videos shows the promotions that try to tap the billion dollar market for hair regrowth. Unfortunately, too many young men fall for this and put out too much money and pin too much hope trying to do these impossible cures. I decided to post this in an attempt to let our readers know that there is no quick fix to the balding problem. The videos I have seen use a person with a convincing voice and a well written script to try to sell the naive viewer on some magical cure. Little bits of truth are used like DHT is the cause of hair loss, but that is not true of people who do not have the genes for balding who have lots of DHT and no hair loss. I’ve even seen such videos blame DHT for cancer of the prostate and suggested that if you stop your DHT, you can stop the hair loss, and prevent cancer. It is true, of course, that testosterone contributes to cancers of the prostate and that is why men with prostate cancer take medications to block testosterone or have their testicles removed if they get cancer of the prostate in order to control it. I saw a video recently that just wanted you to send $39 for their product. That is a waste or $39, so I would suggest that you donate that money to some good charity instead.
