what age is ok to have hair transplant? i have a son who’s 2 years of age and he has two scars on his scalp about 1 centimeter (diameter) each…
thanks..
It might be traumatic to do it now. I would wait until he’s older and if this becomes a social issue, then it is something to consider. I have performed surgery on children, but most don’t care until they approach their teenage years when looks are important to them. I would not suggest this is something you should pursue at this time.
This is my idea!
Use minoxidil for beard growth
Wait till new beard grafts become terminal
Use the grafts for a hair transplant
PROFIT!
The beard makes for good grafts, usually taken from under the chin. Minoxidil induced beard growth is usually not thick and certainly not permanent as they depend upon the drug minoxidil for their existence.

Ive been using minox 5% once everyday for about 3 weeks now. Since about 5 days, I am feeling breathless and feel like no matter how much I inhale my lungs never feel full. Can this be caused due to Minox? Please advice! Edit: Iv’e asked my doctor and he says that its not due to minox.
When minoxidil is absorbed into your body through your skin, then it can cause low blood pressure and many of the symptoms that you are talking about. It can also be an anxiety attack. Stop the drug and if they go away, then it may be the drug

Dear Dr. Rassman and Medical Staff
I had used minoxidil 5% for 2 years without good result So I switched to Provillus a month ago. Can minoxidil be taken internally? Most of them are sold as topical product. Would Scalpmed work for me? Thank you
Minoxidil was originally an oral preparation for the treatment of high blood pressure. It was unreliable for its intended use, but the observation that some women grew facial hair while taking this caught the attention of the drug company. Good drugs are often discovered this way and through serendipity, the observations are made and new applications evolve. The oral form of the drug is not available nor is it approved by the FDA today.
Provillus and ScalpMed apparently use minoxidil as their active ingredient, and both products have been discussed on this site before.

I have thinning and recession at the temples and slight thinning at the crown (22 male). This was confirmed under a digital scope. Is it possibly that this process will naturally stop and not progress much further? My father’s hair thinned in his 20s and receded at the temples but seemed to have halted. Same goes for his father.
When miniaturization is the result of your genetic hair loss, it never reverses on its own.

Dear Doctor,
If you have miniaturization developed in the past 6 months at a rapid pace is it possible to fully reverse it or maybe most part of it ? I Got onto propecia last month once my derm confirmed I have MPB. I am thinking of adding Minoxidil too to the regimen the logic being since the miniaturization/ slight halr loss too has been in the past 6 months Minox might help steer those hair follicles slipping away into complete dormancy. Is my thinking right ? or will propecia and something like a 2% nizoral shampoo be enough to do the job/revive thoseminiaturized follicles ?. My miniaturization is mostly on the top and my hairline is intact. My hairloss history is about 7 months. I am late 20s. Also What is the ideal times a week you should wash hair for a male who has a desk job from 9-5 and works out 4 days a week. ?
I will appreciate your feedback.
In my opinion, I would hold off on the minoxidil and stick to the Propecia for the first 8 months. If the hair loss is as you have defined, then there is a high possibility that it will reverse because it seems to work best for short term genetic hair loss. If you take other drugs like minoxidil and make too many changes at once, then you will never know which one worked best and you’ll be ‘hooked’ on both of them for years. Play your bet out and try the 8 months of Propecia first.
As for washing your hair, I’ll just quote what I said in an earlier blog entry: “Frequent shampooing does not hurt, but aggressive massaging during shampooing and rough brushing will cause fragile hair to break easily.”
To conclude, yes miniaturization can be reversed. The more advanced the balding you have and the longer time you have had it, the less likely will be reversal of the balding process. But the resuls with Propecia (in particular) have at times been very powerful and I have seen a few men who I would have never guessed would reverse, reverse it nevertheless.
Yes, minoxidil often produces fine whisker hairs instead of full ‘terminal’ hairs.

will smoking marijuana just once affect a hair transplant ? I was wondering if it would ruin the hair growth?
No, not that I know of.
I have very thin hair from birth and I want thick hair. What can I do about it? (photo)
People are born with fine, medium, and coarse hair. Some people have very fine hair which is probably your case. You can use hair products that force water absorption in the hair shafts to thicken the hair. For example, there are volume-enhancing hair shampoos. These products are available in your local pharmacy.
