My Beard Transplant Left Me with Hyperpigmented Scars (Photo)

To avoid this, I always trim off the skin of the grafts prior to the placing of the grafts into the recipient area, but some very small skin edge may still remain despite this. There are creams that dermatologists use to treat melasma that might address this problem. These could be removed with FUE along with the hair associated with it, undoing the beard transplant.

Best treatment for dormant hairs? (from Reddit)

What would you say is the most effective growth agonist? I’ve heard people say oral minoxidil, but is topical estrogen also capable of reviving follicles after they’ve dormant for a few years?

Reviving dormant follicles is not something that may always happen. The places were we see revival is usually when the loss is less than a year, two at most. Those who have had long term balding may not be able to revive those hairs. The traditional approaches all have value including Microneedling, minoxidil (oral or topical) and finasteride. Estrogens in the face of high testosterone may have more limited value.

Minoxidil to grow beard hair, does it work?

I’m going to give it a go. Problem is in around 2 months i’ll hopefully be starting fin, and I’ve heard that the minoxidil will quit working for growing facial hair then. If i start now and use it for 2 months, will it still have any effect once i start fin? Is it worth trying minoxidil for facial hair just for two months?

No, it takes many months for minoxidil to induce hair growth. Minoxidil works on men under 25 to some degree. The hair growth may not be like a good solid beard however. We do quite a few beard transplants but require that you are over 25 because we don’t want to pre-empt your hair growth as you get older.

Biofiber (artificial hair – photos)

Biofibers, a type of artificial hair that is inserted deep into the scalp, causes long term infections that are common. These have been banned in most countries in the world. I hope that this reaches people who are considering this type of treatment and learn from this post not to do it.

Months After Extreme Illness, I’m Still Losing Hair

Hi,
I’am 19 years old and suffering from a great amount of hair loss. I got extremely ill about 4-5 months ago and almost lost my life. After the hospital i lost a lot of hair but eventually went to normal a month or two after. A couple of months after, i started losing even more hair. When i wash my hair, lumps of it fall out. I have seen many doctors but they all say nothing can be done. I have been taking Nutricap for a little over a month now and I see no difference. Any suggestions? I feel like i’m going to be bald by 20!

Hair loss after a major illness can be normal. I can’t explain why your loss stopped and restarted. It may all grow back in about one year time frame. If you were going to eventually bald due to genetics, the illness may have kickstarted your genetic process early… but if the hair grows back, then you don’t have to worry about that being the case. You’ll just have to be patient, though.

Look on the bright side — you didn’t lose your life!

Why Is It That Blonde People like Me Don’t See Their Hair Loss Until It Gets Bad?

When the contrast between hair and skin color is minimal or when hair is very blonde, hair loss does not show well. I have seen many people in the office over the years with this situation. Contrast with a man with fair skin color and black hair (most Asians), especially when their hair is straight, balding stands out with less than 50% hair loss. I believe that a platinum blonde person can lose 85% of their hair, if it is a distributed, without seeing the loss.
