This young man went to a clinic that clearly didn’t know what they were doing. His hairline is almost down to his eyebrows, less than 1 inch. Every hair in the frontal hairline that is too low will have to be removed, hair by hair. He will probably be scarred as well. This is a very costly repair. and it will take some time to see if he can get all of these hairs out. As soon as I saw this, my mind wondered into the type of people who can do this type of mutilation to a young man that just wanted to look better. Worse, they are probably doing this over and over again. I blocked out his face to preserve his dignity. He posted this on Reddit. I wonder if this could be a photoshopped photo, exaggerating it to get comments.

Yes, the 0.5mg does is 80% effective and you can ease into the full dose it that makes you more comfortable.

I am asked many time how detectable would be the change in the appearance of a hair transplant patient who had his hairline fixed. These pictures from Reddit, show that the change is gradual and not detectable.

I didn’t post this in the other thread mainly because I have a weird bald spot that I’m hoping someone will help me identify.

A few years ago I went to a hair salon to get my hair curled and somehow the hairdresser burned off some some strands of my hair (one in the front and one in the middle). I only noticed it weeks later when the one in the front was just standing out up in the air (it looked weird lol). Around the same time I realized I had a weird bald spot in my scalp. Until this day I’m not sure if it was caused by the blow dryer/curling iron the hairdresser used or if it happened naturally. I still have this bald spot. And I’m saying “the hairdresser used” because I don’t curl or flat iron or blow dryer my hair at all. That was a rare thing and I did it for an event. So now I don’t know if this is part of the alopecia or if somehow the hair root was burned and that’s why it’s not growing back. Does anyone recognize what this is?

Also I feel like my hairline is receding but I do notice some baby hairs growing at the same time. The middle part of my hair is significantly thinning over the past couple of years. Is this androgenic alopecia? And is the bald spot related to this? Should I start treatment and do I have keep doing it for the rest of my life (cue panic mode).

I attached pictures from different distances. Please excuse the dandruff and the frizz (trust me, I’m trying to get ride of it). Thank you so much for your help!

If this is new, you should see a dermatologist who will perform dermoscopy on your to find out if you have any disease in this area. You might have had a partial burn to the scalp that could cause it, but the loss is uniform

Hi Doctor,

When I was young, I was born with an amazing volume of hair. However, I am unsure of what reasons, I started having hair thinning when I was 18. Now I am 32 and my hair volume is only 1/4 of what I was. I am not taking any medication and my family does not have a history of thinning hair.

Can I check what are the possible reasons and what are the steps I can take to quickly regain all my hair?

Thank you.

There is nothing you can do to “quickly” regain your hair. If it was that easy, I doubt we’d see people with balding and this site would be a single post explaining how to regrow all your hair. Unfortunately, the magic you’re seeking isn’t a reality.

You should see a doctor to go over your options. If you have male pattern (genetic) hair loss, finasteride could be a possible treatment for you. Genes are the most common reason for hair loss in men.
