Am I Regrowing Hair from Cialis?

Does anyone know why I’ve also started to grow hair? I’ve started taking Cialis about 2 months ago with the once a week pills, it was giving me a major headache so i broke the pill into thirds and I’m talking a third every week or like every 4 days or so (headache is gone) and its great stuff, but my hair is starting to slightly grow back. Anyone know or is it a fluke?

Cialis (tadalafil) is generally taken for growth in the other head.

No, I am not familiar with any verified reports of hair growth from Cialis. We have had reports of hair loss from this drug, however, nothing is clear with regard to this. Have you talked to your doctor about your findings?

Lost Leg Hair

i have lost the hair on the front of my lower leg below my knee. the rest of my legs have hair except this part. can you tell me why this is and ways to get the hair to grow there again. i am a 35 year old male. thank you.

This is unusual. You should start by checking your Testosterone and DHT levels. Body hair is a ‘benefit’ of DHT. That includes leg hair (and the appropriate target genes), nose and ear hair, and body hair. Many men in our modern society do not look forward to the increase in these hairs!

Checking with a good dermatologist would be a start for leg hair loss. Is this a pattern in your family?

An Island of Hair Around Transplant

Two things should be evident when you look at this photo. (1) the scar from the hair transplant (easily taken care of with scalp micropigmentation, see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/gallery/scar-covering/#!https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/scalp_micropigmentation-new_hair_institute-146-scalp_scars.jpg and (2) the Island of Hair surrounded by the balding that occurred after he had his hair transplant (easily fixed with another hair transplant). The surgeon and the patient didn’t recognize that he was going to develop a Class 7 pattern at the time of his original hair transplant. I hope that the patient was aware that hair loss is progressive and that this progression is a real risk for this type of hair transplant in advanced pattern balding men. Fortunately, it looks like he has enough hair to fix this problem.

Lowering a Woman’s Hairline by Using Hair Transplants (with Photos)

This woman was born with a high hairline, which appears more common in women than in men. These women see it in their early teens and they have few alternatives to surgery. There are two approaches to the surgery:

  1. A hair transplant, which is performed like a typical man’s hair transplant when his hairline rises either by a high maturing hairline or just genetic balding (which almost always starts in the front).
  2. A surgical hairline lowering procedure (like a reverse brow lift) commonly done by plastic surgeons. The advantage of the hairline lowering procedure is that the results are instantaneous and once the swelling has gone away, the hairline is located in its new position. On occasion, a scar forms at the leading edge requiring a limited hair transplant to hide it.

The patient shown below opted for the 1st method (transplant) and had 1432 grafts about 18 months ago. She is quite pleased with the results of a single transplant session (performed by Dr. Jae Pak). Sometimes when a person has very fine dark hair and white skin, a second session is required to obtain the desired results. Click the photos below to enlarge.

Another case of DUPA

Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) hits the donor area (back of the head) as it does everywhere else on the head. Men with DUPA should not have a hair transplant. The arrows point to only three normal terminal hairs in this patient’s donor area within the field of view. All of the other hairs are in some degree of miniaturization.

Antiandrogens may protect against covid

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32977363/

“Anti-androgens commonly used in the treatment of AGA such as finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, and bicalutamide could improve outcomes among men infected by SARS?CoV?2.”

We have known that men do worse than women when contracting Covid, with higher death rates. So this may help us understand the role of androgens in Covid

It is wonderful when someone allows us to watch the progress of

The hair transplant changed his look!

Any Point in Taking 5mg Finasteride to Treat Hair Loss?

Dear Doctor,

I just wanted to know if there is any point of taking 5mg proscar for hairloss? From my research I think the answer is no but I have taken 5mg for last 6 weeks. I have noticed a lack of motivation and being a bit down but I am not exactly sure if they are related to taking the 5mg or due to other things in my life. Could there be any side effects for taking for the 5mg for the past 6 weeks? If I just cut down to the quarter Proscar tablet (1.25mg) will my body take long to readjust after having taking 5mg dosage?

Thanks you for your time,

Kind regards

There is no point in taking finasteride 5mg (Proscar) for treating hair loss. Aside from the increased side effect possibility, it will not work any better for hair loss. I really cannot comment on your lack of motivation and its relation to the medication. Maybe you have the holiday blues? Side effects from medications should generally reverse in about a week or two.

How many grafts do I need? (photo)

I just met with a doctor who recommended 3500 grafts. Do you think that this is appropriate?

No, doctors who recommend that number of grafts have an eye on your wallet not your hair. This should take no more than 1500-1800 grafts depending upon the thickness of your hair. This is half of the number you were recommended.
