In the News – Sexual Assault is Not a Natural Hair Loss Treatment

Snippet from the article:

An “alternative doctor” who sexually assaulted a female reporter seeking a cure for hair loss has been jailed for nine months.

Chan Tung-choi, a practitioner of natural therapy, yelled he was innocent as he was led away from Eastern Magistrates’ Court yesterday. Chan, 68, who denied four counts of indecent assault, was found guilty by Magistrate So Wai-tak. He said he would appeal. Earlier, the court heard how Chan fondled the private parts and breasts of a 28-year-old online journalist, who cannot be named, between late 2005 and October 2006 at his Sheung Wan clinic.

He told her such actions would help make her hair grow.

I am 27 and have been using Propecia for 3 years but my crown is still thin. What can I do?

If the finasteride has not solved the problem by this time in your crown and you have some hair present you have three options.
1- Do nothing and live with it
2- Get a hair transplant which may solve the problem as that is what I did. My bald crown is now full looking
3- Get Scalp Micropigmentation which will make your thin crown look full as shown in this website photo below (click image to enlarge)

In the News – Teenager with Alopecia Traveling to Great Wall of China to Raise Awareness

Snippet from the article:

A teenage alopecia sufferer from Northamptonshire will complete a trek of The Great Wall of China to raise awareness about the condition.

Alice Frost, aged 16, of Denton, has been suffering from the condition, which causes severe hair loss, for about three years. She will take on the nine-day expedition with her 18-year-old sister, Sally, in September, and the pair hope to raise £7,200 for the trek and for the Alopecia UK charity.

Alice first lost a large amount of her hair while on a school trip to China and she said the expedition would take her back to a fitting place.

The article wasn’t clear on what kind of alopecia she has, but it appears to be totalis or possibly universalis. I congratulate young Ms. Frost on her courage and her desire to raise awareness.

3 Months After My Hair Transplant, A Bald Spot Appeared Between the Crown and Donor Area

Hello

I find your website informative

Here is my scenario. My surgeon is on holidays for two weeks. I had a scar revision and small graft session into the crown 600 grafts.

About three months after the procedure………I developed a small bald spot (size of a penny) about an inch below the crown diagonally betwween where the grafts were put and a few inches above the actual donor scar line. It was native high density hair.

The area in question is still very numb and tender. I all of a sudden developed a thick scab…………it came off with a bunch of hair and it is very pink skin below and a bit rough in texture and completely devoid in hair.

I have put emu oil on it for the time being……..

1. What do you think it is
2. Will the hair grow back

Thanks…….take care

I would have to see your hair loss patch to give you a better opinion on what it is. Can you send me a picture to the address on the contact page? Please reference this blog post when sending. Thanks.

I Am A 27 Year Old Indian Male and Had 5,700 Hairs Transplanted. Am I Over-Harvested?

For a typical Indian, assuming that you actually had 5,700 hairs, which would extrapolate to ~3900 grafts, this would be considered over-harvested. The average “Indian” hair density has an original hair population of about 80,000 hairs. The photos confirm your suspicion of over-harvesting. The maximum FUE for a typical Indian should be limited to about 3,000 grafts or 4,700 hairs with another possible 3000 grafts or 4700 hairs performed with a strip surgery to prevent donor area depletion.

Inherited Hairline, Inherited Hair Loss?

I inherited a strange hairline characteristic from my Maternal father, one side is and always has been far higher than the other, however it skipped his son. Does this mean I will have the same pattern of hair loss as my grandfather? I ask because everyone in the family except for his son (my uncle) has a pretty good head of hair. Should one even consider uncles and great uncles when looking at their family tree in terms of hair loss or is that too far off?

These may be independent variables and could genetically express themselves differently in the sequential generations. I do not believe hairlines and hair loss are linked genetically, so you can have one without the other (the variable is hair loss).

I am 30 and had a hairline lowering procedure and now have a scar on my forehead (photo) FIX PHOTO

Hairline lowering procedures should not be performed on men because hairline recession is progressive and the scar from the procedure will eventually show up making the surgery evident to everyone, You will need a hair transplant to cover the scar and lower the hairline more appropriately.
