Yes, ever since I have been seeing the wonderful results of microneedling on Reddit, I have become a fan of it, especially for the men under 24 years old when hair loss is more easily reversible.

i am on coumadin. is hair transplant possible?
Coumadin (warfarin) is an anticoagulant, also known as a blood thinner. Blood thinners are on the top of the list of medications which must be addressed in a patient who is about to have a hair transplant. I have done transplants on people who are on such medications, but take many steps in the process to assure safety. Generally, one can cut back on the Coumadin and then step it up on the day of transplants. Your general health is really the issue and the reason you are on these medications may allow you to stop them for a week or so. The answer therefore is an individualized answer depending upon the patient, his/her medical condition causing the use of such a medication, and the general state of the patient’s health.
I take a thorough patient history and review all medications that a patient is taking prior to performing a hair transplant.

This is an interesting article showing the effects of varying doses on DHT when finasteride is taken at varying doses.

Many men think that Dutasteride is better than Fnasteride. Finasteride is 70% effective as a competitive inhibitor while dutasteride is about 80% as effective. However, most people don’t really see the difference from a practical point of view. The drug Dutasteride is not FDA cleared. Therefore, it is not proven to be safe. We know, for example, that Dutasteride produces sterility in some men.

Does anyone think the new drug called astressin-B has any possible benefits to regrow hair? I am surprised no one has asked any question about the new finding made last month. Researchers claim that mice grew hair when injected with the drug astressin-B, how far is this true and how long would it take for the treatment to be available.
Thanks
Actually, we did write about this last month.
Quick recap — researchers discovered that a compound (astressin-B) that blocks the action of a stress hormone called corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) was able to regrow hair in genetically altered mice. There isn’t enough information available to discuss anything beyond what was published. It is all hopeful, but the FDA process will take years before safety and effectiveness is proven in humans.
when i microneedle i achieve redness all over the scalp, but within the hour the redness goes away and by the morning it’s completely gone and i feel no pain at all. am i doing it wrong? is there no inflammation?
Some people have Histamine positive skin which turns red easily. If you scratch your forehead with your finger nail and it turns red in a few minutes, then you have Histamine positive skin. It just takes longer to lose the red color. Microneedling is becoming more and more popular to bring back the hair from the micro-wounds it creates. It does work on some people

What would you say the average age is for men to develop MPB? I know there is a wide window, but what is considered to be the norm? (Any pattern of MPB)
Most people lose (or start to lose) their hair in their 20s. A few people have started it as early as 14, but that is unusual. I have seen others start losing their hair into their 50s or 60s.
The use of 1 or 1.5mm needle length will produce bleeding. Healing is slow and if you repeat this every week, the pink color may persist over the entire week depending upon your skin characteristics. Be prepared to have a pink color show here after the microneedling has healed a few days.
That is a very impressive result. The microneedling was the key here; once a week, the 1.5mm needles helped it along nicely. The long-term becomes an issue; in other words, what must you do to maintain your final result when you get there? I am almost sure that if you don’t maintain some microneedling, even every month, these hairs, when they go through their next cycle, may not go into anagen (the growth phase) without the stimulus of the micro-needling. This could happen even earlier than the next hair cycle. We just don’t have the information we need to answer that question. You would find out the answer to that question if you did follow-up repeating the microneedling. If the hair starts falling out again, pick up the microneeding and write to me.
