Loss of Eyebrow Hair, Can I Transplant It?

Before considering a hair transplant you might want to be evaluated by a dermatologist, possibly getting a biopsy to be sure that the cause of this loss will not also impact any eyebrow hair transplant. The loss of the lateral eyebrow is often a target for a variety of skin and autoimmune disorders. I would need to see your entire hairline looking for problems there as well, such as a loss of vellus hairs in the frontal hairline.

Ambien as a Cause of Hair Loss

In my case, Ambien caused excessive hair loss with scalp irritation. I don’t believe my alarming hair loss and tingly, itchy scalp problems, which began precisely at the same time I started taking Ambien, is just a coincidence. The shedding slowed down dramatically after I stopped taking Ambien as did the scalp discomfort. If this is a generic drug issue versus brand we’ll never know, but I’m willing to bet it is not the latter given it’s unaffordable cost for most of us and the 0% coverage with even the priciest of insurance plans. Try stopping for a week. You have nothing to lose except your hair.

Yes, Ambien is known to cause hair loss. Since you stopped taking Ambien, it seems to prove the cause and effect.

Anemia and Hair Loss

I started researching on the web what I can do to prevent additional hair loss and ways to restore hair loss and found your website.

I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Here’s a little history – I have had a medical condition which involved being on non-inflammatory steroids (prednisone) for 4 years and have had 3 surgeries. During each surgery I have noticed that my hair had gotten thinner. I also have a problem with being anemic due to the result of my prior medical problem and surgeries. I am supposed to be cured now, however, I have hair loss which is visible on the top of my head (easily to see my scalp). I’m only 34 years old and am very discouraged. Can my hair loss be restored by taking vitamins and/or iron pills? If not, what would I be facing to restore it? Can it even be restored at this point? Help!

You need to be examined to be sure that there is no other medical problem that is producing hair loss at this time. Anemia is just one of the causes of hair loss. Generally, vitamins and / or iron pills will have no effect. I am not sure if you are a man or woman from this question and this would be an important factor for men with hair loss that is genetic and precipitated by a medical condition will usually not get the hair back. You need to make an appointment with a competent doctor, who is familiar with hair loss.

I Made the Wrong Decision About the Doctor Who Did My Hair Transplant

Hi, I recently got hair transplantation done. The hairline is in the wrong position. My family said this is not me anymore. What can I do?

At this time there is probably nothing you can do. After your hair has grown in, find another doctor. It is critical to find the right doctor who can understand and meet your goals.

This was repaired by Dr. Schambach on the right. She redid the previous hair transplant and moved the hairline forward. In her hands, these grafts will grow. It just shows that there are no bargains that you can depend upon in this field.

Male Sperm Count Drops 58% in 38 Years

Over the past 38 years, the sperm count measured at Mt. Sinai Hospital and elsewhere has dropped 58%. Dr. Swan reported this alarming statistic on the BBC. She believes that this change must be due to environmental factor such as plastics and other chemicals which are now in our bodies. In addition to the number of sperm produced per cc of ejaculate, the quality of the sperm is also down as more and more embryos are developing with congenital problems which are now being identified in the offspring of our children. Dr. Swan believes that these changes are probably permanent and correction might take a few generations to correct.

Any Bimatoprost Study Phase 2 Results Yet?

Doc

Have you heard anything or have any idea when the phase 2 bimatoprost studies will be out?

Happy new year to you and your staff.

You’re referring to the study comparing bimatoprost and minoxidil for use on the scalp, which completed the phase 2 a few months ago. The results haven’t been posted yet, as far as I can find.

Check it our at the ClinicalTrials.gov site — Safety and Efficacy Study of Bimatoprost in the Treatment of Men With Androgenic Alopecia.

Anything Besides DHT That Causes MPB?

Their is always so much talk about DHT being the root cause of Male Pattern Hair loss nearly everywhere one reads. I was just curious if their has been any other recent discoveries, excluding DHT, that may contribute or cause the condition?

For the genetic condition, it is the DHT that acts on the genetically sensitive hair follicle that causes hair loss. There are nother recent discoveries that I’m aware of relating to what you’re asking.
