Adrenal Problems and Hair Loss?

Is there a correlation between adrenal fatigue/insufficiency and hair loss (in the form of total head miniaturization, but yet have no balding, no recession.) I have very low DHEA levels and high cortisol levels…. would chronic/high physiologic stress levels induce hair thinning/miniatuzization?

Yes, it is a possibility, as low adrenal function in such conditions as Addison’s disease affects about 1 in 100000 people. Hair loss throughout the body is a reported finding in this condition. I do not have experience with following people with this disease, as they are treated with appropriate hormone supplements. I have never seen a patient with Addison’s disease and studied the existence of miniaturization or a follow-up of this in a treated patient. Sorry that I can not shed more light on your question.

Aderans Says Follicle Neogenesis Will Likely Be Available Before 2010

I found this quote on the Aderans website. You have probably read this before.

“Follicle neogenesis, a bio engineered hair loss solution, is not many years away; in fact, it is likely that before the end of this decade patients will have access to hair multiplication technology.”

Do you belive that before 2010 we will likely have hair regeneration?

Thank you!!!

I have not heard much about the progress of Aderans from my sources in the industry in recent months. I imagine I might learn more at the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) meetings next month. A number of years ago, I was told that it would be out in 3-5 years, and now that time has passed. Optimistic views are the way new businesses fund themselves and justify the research. There is a tendency to be aggressive when predicting timelines. I will try to report to the readership on this blog after the meetings next month.

Adrenaline and Hair Loss

I hear caffeine from coffee i.e. increased adrenaline and you’ve consistently said adrenaline can contribute to hair loss. What’s up with this?

I am not aware of this. I drink a triple espresso every day. Coffee drinkers are not at any higher risk for hair loss than non-coffee drinkers. Genetic balding is the cause of most hair loss.

Advanced balding reversed (photos)

I’m 25 years old. I was starting to lose my hair when I was 16. It was very rapid process so when I was 20 my situation is almost NW7. 132 days ago I decided to take this regime ( I don’t want to mention about decision phase)

first 120 day, I started with the big 3 + dermaroller 0.5 mm x1week (dut(0.5) once everyday+ minox %5 twice everyday + nizoral 2-3 times per week with no side effects) biotin(10000) + zinc(50) + d3(5000) + collagen peptides(tablet) + omega3(with fish oil) all of them x1 everyday ogx biotin shampoo

Everything was good for me. It was like a miracle you know. My hair like born again. My head was full of baby hair and they were getting stronger day by day (or its just it seemed to me like that) On day 118, I just noticed to shedding, probably it has began before that then I shaved my head to zero guard. In this 14 days I shed like crazy. It’s like the first day when I was start this, I read something about shedding but I’m still worried about that this will be failure for me. So I bought something and added my regime. It’s been 2 days since I started using. Apple cyder vinegar tablets(750mg) x1 everyday, l-cysteine (500mg) x1 everyday, vitamin A (25000iu) x1 everyday, iron (65mg + 325mg fer.) x1 everyday, Ubiquinol (100mg) x1 everyday, Collagen peptides powder 15g with cold water everyday, dermaroller upper to 1.5 mm x1 week, Castor oil x3 days of week with massage 2 hours waiting, hyaluronic acid after dermaroller

I uploaded every angle and lights position of my head with day numbers. https://imgur.com/gallery/E0KiyIz. So I just need your help. What should I do? Should I continue or It was just a good short dream that end with failure? If I will continue, what would you suggest me to add?

Amazing results in just 80 days. It seems to be working. I would love to see better focused photographs. My recommendation is stick to it.

Advice for a 16 Year Old with Bald Spot?

Okay, Well I’m not quite sure how this works but I’ll try it out anyway. I’m a 16 year old male living in the state of Washington. I constantly get crude remarks on how I have a bald spot. Self confidence and the inability to function without a hat is very depressing. I the thing that gets me is how young I am. If you could provide any advice it’d be very much appreciated.

Thank You.

Without seeing you, I do not know what you mean by a bald spot. Are you balding? Did you suffer from some trauma on your head, which produced a bald spot? You need to be examined by an expert doctor. If you are balding, then you will show miniaturization of your hair in the balding area. Even at your age, when balding occurs, the drug Propecia usually works very, very well to reverse it.

African American with Donor Site Depletion

Your donor area may show some donor site depletion from the FUE. This is not unusual if you had many grafts harvested.

The average African American hair density is generally low, so it limits the FUE procedure to about 1500 FUE grafts.

Aderans Research Institute’s Presentation from Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa

hello dr
what do you think about this video: YouTube

This is Aderans Research Institute’s presentation from Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa (a stem cell conference) about a method of cellular hair regeneration that they’re calling Ji Gami. It was posted a few days ago, but the audio is extremely low and it is difficult to hear, so I’m not going to be able to comment on the actual content of the video. I’m just posting this for those that might have better speakers and some interest in their research.

I’ve embedded the video here:
