This is an interesting new approach to hair loss. We need to wait to see the FDA safety and effectiveness studies on this compound.

Mystery compound found to be safe and effective at treating hair loss. Details in comments. from tressless

It’s good to see a man discuss his experience in managing his hair loss. Nice job!

Hilarious video!!! I am not sure if his methods are actually legit but dude in video is cool in a weird way… from tressless

These are very rare and require that the surgeon, when they are present and the area is going to be transplanted, reproduce this double whirl. Most people have a single whirl either on the left or right side of the crown. Take a look at yours.

This young man is enrolled in University of California in San Diego and has a career in Physics in front of him. He is very bright and he is balding already, now only in the crown, but he has early thinning evident in the frontal corners which may follow his father’s pattern of a Class 6 balding pattern.

He said, point blank, that he did not want to go through the four hair transplant surgeries that I did on his dad, even though, he admitted, his dad looked ‘good’. He was dead set against Propecia, for sound, rational reasons and understood clearly, that the decision not to take this drug would inevitably lead him to continue with the progressive balding process he is presently experiencing. He came to this decision having thought hard and long, and after doing considerable research on the subject. “My body has its own clock and my unique genetics and I have known this since I turned puberty. I fully realize that I am ready to go bald, if I must, but I don’t want to keep worrying about it, day in and day out. Now, I live under a base ball hat and I want to go out not worrying about my hair and my visible aging, balding head”

So he came to see me because he decided to have Scalp Micropigmentation. We discussed his changing natural hairline that may disappear with time, and he fully realize that the hairline that we will create with SMP will be permanent and that he was willing to accept the normal recession and adjust his styling, possibly locking in a short hair style (almost shaved look) for the rest of his life. He wanted for us to create a natural shape and configuration of a youthful hairline that he saw on our website on some of our hair transplant patients and on some men who shaved their head and never went bald. I told him that for a while, he will be able to let his hair grow out, until the frontal hairline recedes. He didn’t mind and liked the idea that once he had the SMP done, he would be finished with his hair problem and go on with his career as a physicist and focus on the rest of his life.

I like the density count in the article which does show an increase in hair density following PRP. More data and more patients are required but the study is good.

This article is highly technical and discusses hair cycling and identified some of the mechanisms for this process.

There are several other publications also on sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate which has been extensively studied in relation to the hair follicle as well as other systems (such as cancer prevention): Example: Sulforaphane (SF maintains HF proliferation and active hair growth (anagen) during oxidative HF damage (Haslam et al. 2016). This compound is present in broccoli and can be found in tablet form sold as cancer preventative, increasing energy etc. I’m surprised no one is selling it yet to promote hair growth. In the meantime tell everyone to eat broccoli! (comments by Nilifer Farjom MD)
