I Had 1000 Grafts and Am Concerned That My Donor Supply Is Used Up?

You need to develop a Master Plan with a good doctor to determine your lifetime hair supply and how much has been used so far. You must know this for future planning. Your residual donor density can be measured by your surgeon to establish what the future possibilities are.

This man seemed to be responsive to the combination of finasteride and minoxidil working together to reverse crown hair loss; however, the photo qualitative difference alone could produce such changes

10 months topical Finasteride & Minoxidil

This is the response that I like to see with the use of topical finasteride plus minoxidil. Topical finasteride keeps the medication in the skin.

1000 hairs lost last night

I have been on finasteride for 2 years but today suddenly in the shower my hair started coming out in clumps. I’ve lost so much density, I bet more than 1000 hair went down the drain and additional hundred more when I was drying it. This includes the back and the sides of my head. I am panicking so much because when I started I only had mild temple recession with no hair loss anywhere else , and now this happened.

How old are you? If you are young, maybe you started to accelerate your balding genetics. This can happen if you are unusually stressed. Does that apply to you? if you are very worried, see a dermatologist of a hair specialist like me if yu in Southern California.

12 Days After Hair Transplant (with Photos)

I wanted to show some 12 day post-operative photos of a very early Norwood Class 5 patient after one procedure of 1588 grafts. I get a lot of emails from people ask me what they can look like with good post-operative washing, and this is a good example of one such patient that kept the recipient sites clean. While there is still some slightly visible redness, he is less than 2 weeks out of surgery and this should subside soon enough.

12 Year Old Daughter Has Bald Spots Since Birth

My daughter is 12 years old now, and when she was little and her hair finally grew in, she had a bald spot right in the center of her head. Her doctors told me not to worry about it, but I awalys have. I thought as she got older her hair would get thicker, but it never has. Yesterday, my daughter show me another spot on her head which is almost bald, I called her doctor, to find out what to do. She is doing research as I write this to you. I was hoping for anything you could share with me. My daughter is so upset and I can not comfort her with any kind of reasoning. Please get back to me. Thank you.

This is a situation where face to face discussion and examination is critical. This is not an internet problem. You need a skilled doctor (dermatologist in your area) to examine her and then render an opinion. If she is upset, not taking her to a good doctor does more damage than need be.

This man(in his mid-twenties has recent hair loss in the past 8 months prior to commencing treatment). He must have been very sensitive to the results of good DHT blocking with finasteride. Men like him are young and have more recent hair loss than those who do not respond. A great early result that will just get better in time.
