Will this area from my FUE ever grow back?
Once the hair has been removed with FUE, the hair never grows back. Your donor area looks over-harvested
Will There Ever be a Time When Finasteride and Minoxidil Stop Working, if it Currently Works?
Yes, hair loss is progressive and these medications buy time for you. Everyone is different in regards to how long these medications work.

Will the miniaturised hair keep falling?
Miniaturized hairs get thinner and thinner until they disappear. That is the normal course for miniaturized hairs. Drugs like finasteride, ofter reverse the miniaturization process.
Will heavy exercise cause accelerated hair loss?
Some men believe that hard exercise increases testosterone and thereby increases hair loss. That is not the case.

Will the ARTAS Hair Transplant Robot Ever Be Able to Place the Grafts?
Dr. Rassman
I saw a story that showed a hair transplant using the ARTAS system. The only downside to ARTAS is the machine only extracts grafts and doesn’t place them. I know you mentioned you had a patent to placing the grafts once they are extracted. Any idea on when Restoration Robotics will use that patent of yours?
The folks at Restoration Robotics know about my patents for placement of grafts. I am not privileged to know what they have planned for future versions of their ARTAS system, but I am sure that they will eventually automate the placement of grafts.
I don’t know how far along, if at all, they are with going down that path, but it would be the next logical step in their automation process.
Will Taking Finasteride Block the Formation of DHT and Cause Me to Become Feminized with More Estrogen?
The DHT blockers like Finasteride are what we call competitive inhibitors, and only block the action of DHT on the hair follicle. Significant amounts of the production of DHT will still continue.

Abstract
Male pattern baldness can have substantial psychosocial effects, and it has been phenotypically linked to adverse health outcomes such as prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease. We explored the genetic architecture of the trait using data from over 52,000 male participants of UK Biobank, aged 40-69 years. We identified over 250 independent genetic loci associated with severe hair loss (P<5×10-8). By splitting the cohort into a discovery sample of 40,000 and target sample of 12,000, we developed a prediction algorithm based entirely on common genetic variants that discriminated (AUC = 0.78, sensitivity = 0.74, specificity = 0.69, PPV = 59%, NPV = 82%) those with no hair loss from those with severe hair loss. The results of this study might help identify those at greatest risk of hair loss, and also potential genetic targets for intervention.

Will Shaving My Head Increase The Hair Loss Rate?
I am 23 and have experienced significant hairloss in the past 5 months. I did not start taking Propecia and now I am currently studying in China and the medication is unavailable here. To stop the anxiety of noticing my rapid hairloss I was considering shaving my head. Will this at all increase the rate of hairloss until I can begin treatment on Propecia, Minoxidil, etc?
Shaving your head will have no impact on your hair loss, one way or the other.
