Yes, it will take a lot of grafts but the beard can be significantly made fuller

In an issue of Scientific American, a young 10 year-old boy was knocked unconscious one day by a baseball. After the accident, he could recall the “exact day of the week for any date after the accident and could remember the weather for each day since the trauma”… along with “minute daily events”. Another example of a victim of a brutal mugging in 2002. He began seeing images and was able to sketch them on paper. His images reflected ‘fractals‘ a mathematical repeating pattern. This is called an “acquired savant Syndrome”, a near genius level of brain function that appeared after the injury. This syndrome can appear after a blow to the head or some brain insult.

Many of the affected people can develop the ability to create poetry, paint or play a musical instrument where there was never a talent for this before. Some researchers and experts in the field think that there is a ‘genius’ switch in the brain and are looking for ways to be able to turn it on. I want to volunteer for this type of experimentation. I wish I could knock this type of ‘brains’ into the crazy people in this world who just don’t get the basic value of life and would rather make war than appreciate all of the beauty on this planet for the short time we will be here.

I have been suffering from an undiagnosed case of hairloss for almost two years now. The thinning occurs only in front of the ears in a circle around it and slightly on the nape. No thinning crown and my frontal hair line has been stable for years. No cases of hair loss in my family. The thinning started about two years ago and hasn’t really changed (for better or worse) since then.

I’ve been to FIVE different dermatologists and none could tell me ANYTHING. “Ive never seen that before”, “I can’t help you”, “It’s probably not what you think (male pattern baldness)”

The trichogram that was taken has showed no signs of male pattern baldness on other parts of the head. The results did not show anything suspicious. Tests for nutrient deficiency also didn’t show anything, but that’s been a long time ago so if you have any specific nutrients under suspicion let me know. I do not respond to Minoxidil. A two-times-daily treatment of nine months brought no growth whatsoever.

I have a question for you.

I’m taking finasteride 1mg now for two years and my hair improved a lot.
Now with exams and very busy schedule I forgot to make an appointment with my docor. I now have one in three weeks. But now i’m afraid i’ll lose my hair again because i’m out of finasteride for three weeks.

Is it possible i can lose a lot of hair in three weeks?

It is possible that you can lose hair after stopping Propecia for three weeks. It generally takes longer for “catch up” hair loss to occur. Catch up hair loss is basically the loss of your native hair that benefited from the use of Propecia.

Can You Harvest 5000 Grafts At Once? I Just Want One Surgery. I don’t want to come back for another surgery.

If you are familiar with New Hair Institute and Dr. Rassman’s (founder) work, he is the doctor who started the “Mega-Session” 3000+ grafts hair transplants back in in 1995

I feel like the opposite of the known side effects have happened to me. I’ve been on fin for 70ish days now. Got some minor temple regrowth, so I think its working. No sides except now I’m more horny than usual and can jerk it at least 2x a day when before fin I was usually a 5x a week kinda guy. Anyone experience similar? I can only find online info on decreased libido.

Yes, some people (one of my son’s is on finasteride) had a prolonged increase in his sex drive.

My hair stopped shedding about 6 months ago. When I’m in the shower now I get maybe 1-3 hairs on my hands between shampooing and conditioning. However, my hair definitely looks thinner at the crown and temples than it did a year ago.

My question is: Even though I’m not shedding, can the miniaturization process still be occurring and causing me to lose hair?

Here are my stats: -48 years old -noticed thinning at crown about 12 years ago

• hair is now visibly thin at crown and temples. You can see scalp through the hair.

• started shedding just over a year ago when urologist prescribed a testosterone booster and an AI. I quit taking them about 11 months in when I noticed shedding (10-12 hairs when I shampoo’d). I quit the meds and shedding stopped 4-5 months later.

• I eat healthy, take a men’s multi vitamin and shampoo with biotin and nizoral.

• I haven’t tried finasteride or min yet because I’m scared of the side effects.

Yes, you can experience miniaturization without shedding.
