Can I Use Hair from Under the Chin?
The best donor hair is from the back and sides of the head (scalp hair). The next best spot, if the donor area is depleted, is under the chin. The chin area can yield as many as 3000 grafts in some people with heavy beard densities. I would not want to use this hair for the frontal hairline because it would be too coarse and not look natural. Beard hair taken from under the chin can’t really be seen when placed well behind the frontal hairline. Other body hair has short growth cycles, unlike beard and scalp hair which have long growth cycles, so it is not as good.

Norwood Class 3A using finasteride and minoxidil (photo)
You have been using finasteride and minoxidil for only 45 days and these photos suggest that your hair is sensitive to finasteride and minoxidil. Your pattern of balding is a Norwood Class 3A with a huge forelock. The hair loss is around the forelock that is solid and not balding. You already show signs that it is reversing with the finasteride and minoxidil. Keep up the good work and make sure that you stay on it and let’s see what it looks like in 6 months from now.

Can you control the DOT size with SMP
The dot size is controlled by the operator (hold time in the skin and how deep they were placed) as well as their skills and the size and needle configuration in the hand piece of the device; however, many of the dots spread because of the size of the pigment particles themselves dictate the spread. The new laser tattoo device has even more precise control over it, if the operator is not as skilled and doesn’t have the years of experience, see here: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/data/docs/pubs/Tattoo%20Pigment%20Delivery%20with%20a%20laser_final.pdf

Not Hair Loss News – Exercise and Cardiovascular Disease Linked?
Snippet from the article:
Two new studies published this week lend credence to the idea that when it comes to exercise, there apparently can be too much of a good thing.
In the first study, led by Dr. Nikola Drca (Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden), and published online May 14, 2014 in Heart, investigators report that men 30 years old, who exercised for more than five hours per week, had significantly higher risks of developing atrial fibrillation later in life compared to men who exercised less.
The report also showed that older adults who walked or rode their bicycle for about an hour per day had a significantly lower risk of atrial fibrillation compared with older adults who almost never participated in such recreational physical activity.
In the second study, led by Dr. Ute Mons (German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany), also published in Heart, researchers studied the association of self-reported physical activity in 1038 subjects with stable coronary heart disease and confirmed previous findings of an increased risk of adverse events among inactive patients. However, they also found those who participated in daily “strenuous” physical activity had an increased risk of dying from cardiovascular causes.

I guess it boils down to: “Bike riding for older folks is good. Exercise for 30 year olds is bad.”

can you show me a proper FUE donor area? (photo)
This is a 3-inch high donor area. This is the proper height of the donor area.
Not Hair Loss News – Truck Drivers at Risk for Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Snippet from the article:
Long-haul truck drivers already face an increased risk for left-side skin cancer because of the increased exposure to ultraviolet rays through their driver’s side window. But according to new research, the risks don’t stop there. Now, scientists say truck drivers have a greater chance of developing aggressive prostate cancer, and the latest theories point toward prolonged vibration as a possible suspect.
Presented at the American Association for Cancer Research, the findings also linked aggressive prostate cancer risks with men who worked in garden shops and in construction and finance. Conversely, they drew no link between cancer and men who worked as exterminators, landscapers, or animal caretakers. Those who were truck drivers faced an aggressive prostate cancer risk four times greater than educators — a profession the researchers used as a baseline, as they presumed educators faced none of the same “whole body vibrations†as truck drivers.

Can’t control my hair loss with medications
21 y/o M Currently been on fin 1mg ED for over a year and a half. Closing in on one year oral min 2.5 mg ED. Got some great results from the combination until about February time I’ve slowly started to get worse and worse. Im still above baseline but I’m starting to consider other options. What do y’all think. Not just my case in specific but in general would it be bad to get a transplant because of shock loss etc?
Male Patterned Balding is not a problem that stays fixed after you treat it with finasteride. It is a progressive problem and continues with age until you reach your final inherited balding pattern. Generally, that pattern can be estimated best when a man is over 26; however, in some cases, the final pattern can be determined with 80% accuracy) with an experienced hair surgeon. Circumstances do occur when I transplant someone of your age. Still, I require a relationship between the patient and me so I can determine factors like (1) examination elements to determine donor density and donor hair mass), (2) maturity, (3) stable mental state, (4) the finances to finish a worst case scenario if you start going that route and (5) worst case patterned balding that you might develop over the next 5 years. By worst case, I mean hair loss acceleration after a hair transplant (something I usually can predict before the transplant) and the use of medications like finasteride, or oral minoxidil, or topical liposomal finasteride (which mostly stays in the scalp.
Nourkin and Toppik
Are Nourkrin and Toppik ok to use together?
I’m female aged 23 and have been suffering from hair loss for 3 years. I have been using both products for a few months so far.
Nourkrin is a food supplement which contains marine based extract of proteins and polysaccharides, Vitamin C, Silica, Horsetail, and IgG. It is mostly used in UK. Toppik is a topical medication and contains Keratin, Ammonium Chloride, Silica, DMDM Hydantion, and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate and it is in particular (fiber like) form that sticks to the hair follicles to make them look fuller. There should be no negative impact with using them both, but you need to always remember that even these simple substances have risks at some level.

CDC: Forty percent of cancers linked to overweight or obesity
“Being overweight or obese significantly increased the risk of developing at least 13 types of cancer, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now that a larger proportion of the American population is overweight or obese, the rates of obesity-related cancers have increased. Between 2005 and 2014, the rate of obesity-related cancers, excluding colorectal cancer, increased by 7%. Over the same period, non–obesity-related cancers declined, according to C. Brooke Steele, DO, of the CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, and her associates” (source: Internal Medicine New, October 10, 2017)
