This isn’t a hair transplant related post, but it is a trip down memory lane for me. Allow me to indulge myself…
I was recently talking with a friend, and I was asked to think back on a case where I had a patient that I simply did not like. While I do get along well with all of my patients nowadays, I thought for a few moments and remembered an experience I had in my first year in … [visit site to read more]

Dr. Rassman,
I am 25 yrs old and I have a receding hairline. I understand that you can’t tell me whether I’m a candidate without seeing me, but can you tell me what percentage of men my age are candidates for a hair transplant? additionally, what characteristics manufacture these men candidates?
Assuming that you do not have a maturing hairline, soon after … [visit site to read more]

I have a question about Loniten (oral Minoxidil). that isn’t considering using it as a replacement for topical Rogaine, but does Loniten show ANY major scalp hair growth? I know it’s an unstable blood pressure medication, but whether someone who was suffering from hair loss were to take it, would it show benefits? What dosage would you think it would take to show benefits? I’m always curious about knowledge

Since my final blog entry I’m pleased to report there have
been no in-grown hairs and zero scalp sensitivity. On damp days the
body can show signs of aches & pains even from preceding injuries. But
no pains from that procedure!
I’d have to say at that point that my
head feels as though no surgical procedure ever occurred. And that is all
good of course. I was skyping with my parents the other day and my father
said how much fuller my hair looked. I asked my wife her thoughts. She
said it looks a tiny bit better. I see some added fullness but certainly
see my white scalp (which is white considering it’s cold in the Midwest and I’ve
not been able to enjoy sunshine and some added color that no doubt tans the
scalp a bit). Can’t wait for the Spring and not needing a wool hat!
I can't say that I notice any remarkable changes at that point but still
recall the surgeon advising me to be patient for 8-9 months following the
procedure. I view that as opening a CD at the bank. One has to wait
some day before any ‘return’ is rendered. So I wait patiently with
realistic expectations.
-Mark

Hi Doc! I have another question that I haven’t been able to track down an reply via search engines. I had my final transplant surgery 16 years ago, and all the recipient sites where they put the grafts are light red in color. Is that generally a histamine reaction or some kind of blood stain? It shows increasingly after I get out of a warm shower. Please let me know what that is, and whether there is a fix for it (laser resurfacing, etc.) Thanks a bunch!!

Hi! Been reading your blog for fairly a while now. I know that you are against body hair transplants onto the scalp, BUT — I don’t want to have body hair transplanted anywhere but into my strip scar. The reasons I saw you give in the past for avoiding body hair transplants were considering body hair doesn’t grow out very lengthy, so it would be poor for styling. Well, I would like it transplanted into my scar so I can cut my hair much shorter than I currently can without it being … [visit site to read more]

I am currently a 27 year old male who has been taking the following medications for hair loss.
1) Rogaine (5%) for 3 years
2) Propecia for 1 year
3) Nizoral (2%) for 3 years
4) Olux Foam 8 months
My hair loss had began to slow down for several months but as of recent it has increased dramatically and I had a blood screen. It showed that my testosterone levels are elevated and slightly out of range (most likely due to propecia). My dermatologist did not know what to do and … [visit site to read more]

Dr. Rassman,
Thank you for maintaining that blog, its great to have a free reliable resource in a world full of scammers and misinformation.
I’m a 24 year old man and have been experiencing loss since age 18. I started on Propecia at 20 and was able to preserve my hair and score some regrowth. Unfortunately I stopped taking the drug for 10 months starting about two years ago. I started back on Propecia final May(2009).
My problem is that in the past 10 months, while … [visit site to read more]

Hi there
I’ve been using Propecia for nearly eleven months and minoxidil for the same amount of date. In the first three months of the treatment I experienced severe hair loss (shedding) and a succession of side effects such as anxiety, depression, stomach cramps, mood swings and slight swelling of my pecs. After that my hair became thicker and looked like the head of hair I had when I was sixteen.
However, recently I’ve noticed further shedding. The side effects have gone … [visit site to read more]

I’ve been noticing hair loss across the crown of my head for about 18 months now. I have been taking Propecia for shut to 8 months with continual shedding and thinning of my hair. increasingly recently in the final month I have started taking Regaine as part of my fight against hair loss and though I have noticed less of the burning feeling on my scalp my hair continues to shed - though im pretty positive its not at the rate it did a year ago. One thing I have noticed since using Propecia … [visit site to read more]

I hate to keep bothering you, but I’m full of questions! With fine hair, how much hair can be lost before it is considered noticeable? 25%? 50%? I am 4 months into using Propecia, and have new hair sprouting all by. I am surprised, as I have been losing hair for 20+ years. I am going to see where Propecia takes me, next finish it off with transplants.
In general, you need to lose about half (50%) of your original hair density (in even distribution) to notice … [visit site to read more]

Hello Dr. Rassman,
I know that you don’t put a lot of stock into herbal remedies for hair loss, but an spread I found on the Reishi Mushroom does have some interesting data regarding the mushrooms effects on 5-alpha-reductase.
Perhaps you’d like to look at that: Study
