I’m glad someone did this. Our hair loss can not always be treated the same so it’s great to know Dr Prasaf is well experienced in em dealing with darker skin and our hair type
You're welcome, Chloe Easley! Darker skin is more prone to scarring for procedures like eyelid surgery, and as seen in this video, there is differences in African-textured hair. In case you are interested, I did do a video about cosmetic eyelid surgery for darker skin - czcams.com/video/ZNkvC941ng4/video.html
Hi@@lifewithchris87, I'm glad it worked out well for you. It's important to keep in mind that hair transplant surgery by itself doesn't treat progressive hair thinning/ hair loss, so hair loss management is important after surgery. Here's a video about it for your reference - czcams.com/video/rIlI55F478w/video.html
You're welcome,@@lifewithchris87. If you are male, you should at least talk to your transplant surgeon about a prescription for a DHT-blocker like finasteride, which actually slows progressive hair thinning, and can be used long-term more predictably than minoxidil. Coconut oil doesn't do much as a hair loss treatment. You can refer to these videos about the importance of finasteride in men, the limits of minoxidil, and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely after our treatment: czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html czcams.com/video/sv82XSpQfnI/video.html czcams.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/video.html
Thank you, sir, for educating our community and providing treatment without pills but with a natural situation that has fewer side effects. Plus, you have great hair yourself!
You're welcome, MeMe, but keep in mind that I still prescribe finasteride to a good number of male patients even if they undergo the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment, especially in younger men with higher DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to this video about the importance of finasteride in male pattern hair loss treatment - czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html
Hi Q8 with Love, No, your donor area cannot regenerate hair follicles once they are grafted. If that were the case, then hair transplants could virtually replace all lost hair, which they cannot do. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m 15 and I have thinning on my crown... my hairline has always been kinda high but I’ve never had a thinning problem until recently I guess... I haven’t been taking vitamins like usual so that may be a case, or wave butter.
Hi Tre Payne, It is possible as the hair at the lower back of the head, and at the sides are genetically resistant to hair thinning. Genetic pattern hair loss also affects hair growth cycles, where there is a delay in regrowth after shedding, as well as slower growth. An examination is needed to see if there is progressive thinning in your scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Jorge Inostroza, We don't currently offer the treatment in Canada, but Canadians are our most common international patients since those on the East Coast don't even need to fly in for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in New York or Virginia. Many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you doctor, unfortunately im not able to leave Canada at the moment since im not covid vaccinated, hopefully gov lift this restriction soon, i really want to start with this threatment ASAP... once again thanks a lot
Hi doctor. I am 36 years old, itchy and flaky scalp (seborrheic dermatitis) and am shedding a lot and have bald spots after having my baby. I have androgenetic alopecia and wonder if there are any recommendations for how u can get my hair back? Thank you
Hi K, Hair shedding, and bald spots are normal after postpartum changes to hormone levels, but the shed hair does grow back as hormone levels stabilize. Androgenetic alopecia is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding, which isn't indicated in your description. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat androgenetic alopecia in women - czcams.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/video.html
I’m 15 starting to have a receding hairline, my hairline is thinning but I’ve been doing scalp massages and putting oils in my hair and I’ve seen a little progress in little over a week should I keep doing this? And any suggestions?
Hi That05kidd, Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need to have it checked by an experienced doctor to determine the cause, before treatment can be recommended. 15 is very young for pattern hair loss. If you can't have an examination with us, I suggest you see a local doctor about it. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I’ve consulted with my physician and he said it’s probably just genetics but he doesn’t know. Is there anything I can do about this. My hair started thinning at 18.
Hi@@vitalisogbeama33, You would need a definitive diagnosis about the cause of your hair loss, although most cases of hair loss are genetic pattern hair loss. You can refer to this recent video about how we diagnose and treat male pattern hair loss - czcams.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/video.html
My hair is thinning at the edges of my hairline and I am only 13 I think I’m going bald because my dad has hair loss and most of my half brothers are bald and my brother that is 22 hairline is receding and my crown is thinning people think it’s a bald spot I am able to hide it but you can still see it I need help please any solution??
Hi Jellyfam_ Sb24, Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you have this problem examined by a local doctor. Even if you do have the genes for pattern hair loss in your family, 13 is too young for early onset of pattern hair loss. A physical examination is needed to confirm if there is an issue. Normally I would not recommend treatment to start at your age, but I haven't examined your scalp, so you do need a doctor to physically examine and diagnose the issue before treatment can be considered. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dr. prasad, i'm suffering from hair loss due to the hard water in my country. part of my hair is not growing to rhym with other. can i go PLASMA TREATMENT to restore my scalp?
Hi ZEAL OZIOKO, Hard water, or water with a heavy mineral content, does not cause hair loss. Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics. I suggest you have a proper examination to determine if you have male pattern hair loss. You can refer to this video about the factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated; and the differences of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) from what we do in our practice with a PRP-combination treatment called TrichoStem Hair Regeneration: czcams.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/video.html czcams.com/video/vZAGaAssewY/video.html czcams.com/video/xSMTd9qVwNo/video.html
Hello Dr. I recently got a short hair cut. Due to dying, I have hair loss around my edges and hairline. It's not too bad, but it is quite embarrassing when my hair starts to grow out because I can see which spots are thinning. I still see the follicles, but the areas are smooth. I am of African descent and wish to take this route for treatment. What is the estimated cost for 1 treatment? And do you believe the hair will grow back? Thank you!
Hi Queen Designs Slater, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is primarily for hair thinning due to male and female pattern hair loss. For issues like traction alopecia, and hair loss or thinning due to chemicals, we can only approach them on a case-by-case basis, and cannot state the same success rate as we do for pattern hair loss patients. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Timothy Bassey, Sorry to hear about your problem. While the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration can stimulate hair growth in people suffering from alopecia areata, it does not treat the autoimmune condition that attacks the hair follicles. The treatment has to be done in one of our offices in the US, and alopecia areata patients are treated on a case-by-case basis due to the limitations of the treatment with an autoimmune condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@timothybassey4607, I suggest you meet with a local dermatologist to see if they have a treatment available that may help you. Like I said previously, we do use TrichoStem Hair Regeneration on alopecia areata patients on a case-by-case basis, but the treatment cannot be shipped over to you. I hope this helps you.
Hi TheDON, Finasteride can be used long-term to slow hair thinning, but the effects of minoxidil do wane with time. Keep in mind that pattern hair loss is caused by genetics, not by nutrition. You can refer to these videos about the limits of minoxidil, the importance of finasteride, how we can go beyond finasteride alone in increasing scalp coverage, and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need to use minoxidil after our treatment: czcams.com/video/sv82XSpQfnI/video.html czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html czcams.com/video/4YowPNRsv6I/video.html czcams.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/video.html
Hi Nina Konig, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is also used for female pattern hair loss. The example on the right of the thumbnail is actually a female patient, and female patients of African descent are shown throughout the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Yusuf Jr, Sorry, but the treatment has to be done in our office in the US as it is customized using PRP from your own blood, and the algorithm for custom formulation follows your own individual hair loss factors. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment (under normal travel conditions), but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
Hi Dr Prasad, I am from South Africa. My hair tends to shed every year during autumn moving into the winter months. I stopped relaxing my hair last year but the shedding happened this year again. The hair doesn't shed to complete baldness but to shorter hair than the rest. That part of the scalp is always very itchy even when the hair has grown back. Should I go see a doctor for treatment?
Hi Mihle Quthu, It's not clear by your description if there is an actual problem. Hair shedding usually doesn't require treatment, even if it is telogen effluvium, which is hair loss caused by stress. A doctor is needed when your hair is growing back thinner after shedding, or if there is a delay in regrowth. If you have an itchy scalp, this is a separate issue you can consult a dermatologist about. I hope this helps you.
Hi Ankle bully Games, Sorry to hear that, but the cause of your hair loss needs to be properly diagnosed as 17 is young for pattern hair loss, and 17 is not a safe age for a prescription DHT-blocker like finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Ok, I'm in my 30s and experience thinning. I have always had long hair locs to be exact. During the pandemic, I experience tremendous hair loss to the point I cut my hair off think it was causing damage to the scalp cause of weight. I have managed to stop the large hair fall over the past few months and now seeing great amount of hair growth. But yet still thinner than I'm use to in multiple spots, it's mainly on the top and temple. I have no bald members of my family for generations. My uncle is in his late 60s and has a full head of grey as well and my grandparents. What should I do? Or ask and except when going to see a dermatologist ?
Hi K B, Sorry to hear about your problem, but you do need to have a scalp examination for a proper diagnosis of pattern hair loss. The genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a late family member you’ve never even met. A microscopic scalp examination can confirm if you have hair thinning caused by genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir please i have hair lost at the age if 17yrs please where can i found you am from Accra Ghana and i love how you are taking your time to explaining everything to us indeed you are a good teacher and a well trained doctor.❤Doctor i will like to see for my hair Transplant
Hi Rocky Filla, Our offices are in the US, and a hair transplant is not appropriate for someone your age, and should only be considered if you're at least 30-years-old. I suggest you see a local doctor to diagnose the cause of your hair loss as you are still quite young for male pattern hair loss, and for treatment. You can refer to this video about why hair transplants should not be performed in men under 30 - czcams.com/video/2GkCy-30hFg/video.html
Hi MOB Lil Moe, How old is "young"? When I say "young" in the context of my patients, it usually means still in their 20s. Male pattern hair loss can start treatment as early as 18, but a diagnosis for male pattern hair loss is needed before recommending specific treatments. You can refer to this video about the different factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated - czcams.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/video.html
Hi Kamesha Nabors, Sorry, I'm not aware of any hair restoration doctors in LA who take the same approach in treating African-textured hair. Since this is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in New York or Virginia. Under normal travel circumstances, many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Macio Bron, I don't prescribe oral minoxidil as oral finasteride is more effective at treating one of the major causes of male pattern hair loss, and can retain its effects long-term. The effectiveness of minoxidil tends to wane with time, and minoxidil results can be lost soon after stopping use, or if used for extended periods. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@maciobron9664, 1 mg is the proper dosage for male pattern hair loss, but finasteride does require a doctor's prescription, so all of this is explained when you have your diagnosis done. I hope this helps you.
I'm 16 and i had a full set of hair but then i noticed that it was really flat at the back and i thought it was just me sleeping on my head made it like that so i cut it off but then i took a look at it and it had bald patches at the back of my hair what does this mean
Hi Lil Scar, It's not clear if your bald patches are due to you cutting your hair yourself, of if you have stress-related hair shedding in patches. If you are worried about it, you can have it diagnosed properly with an examination. However, it's important to know that bald patches are not caused by pattern hair loss, as pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning, not sudden hair shedding, or sudden hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Dr. Prasad! If someone notices male patten baldness like front thinning and crown. That indicates the areas that are sensitive to DHT? Can DHT attack follicles later on in life. I am 31. Sides are full of hair and back as I trim it every day to keep it low. But scalp area takes months to grow. Thank you!
Hi Sub Zero, Level of DHT-sensitivity differs among men. Men who are highly DHT-sensitive are affected earlier in life, like in their early 20s. Men who are less DHT-sensitive can start thinning in their 40s. Pattern hair loss also affects how long it takes your hair grow back after shedding, not just hair thinning. Generally, pattern hair loss and DHT-sensitivity affect men following the Rule of Decades: 20% of men in their 20s have it, 30% of men in their 30s, etc. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Thanks for sharing, if someone got a translation would they still be able to adopt a Bald look, or would there be scars so those days are over, as in a hair transplant is a firm decision to have hair, you wouldn't have the option to shave down with issue ?
Hi Classic Man, It depends on the type of transplant you have, and how it is performed. If you have an FUT transplant, and without advanced surgical closure of the scar, the donor area scar would be more noticeable if you've shaved your head. FUE transplants can also leave small scars that are noticeable with a shaved head, depending on how the hair grafts were extracted by the surgeon. You can refer to this video on how I camouflage the FUT scar as I don't normally perform FUE surgery - czcams.com/video/ciAFTZnKhq8/video.html

Hi aberash Sbhat, I suggest you have this checked by a doctor as 15 is too young to have a hair loss issue. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. I hope this helps you.
Hi etta phil, Yes, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can help women with hair loss due to menopause. Estrogen does have a positive effect on hair growth, so estrogen supplements may also be needed. While I will do a future video regarding your specific question, you can refer to this one about treating female pattern hair loss, including hair loss due to menopause, that was published in October 2020 - czcams.com/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/video.html
Hi rajesh arora, Hair transplants are not a permanent solution because alone they do not treat progressive thinning/hair loss of native hair, so finasteride is needed to slow thinning of native hair after a transplant. A treatment like Hair Regeneration is also needed to improve transplant results by helping to heal grafts and improve survival, thicken thinning native hair, improve healing of donor area, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Yuri Santos, This is undetermined as the genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Victor Dennard, Benefits of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment lasts 3-5 years, or even longer, with men with high DHT-sensitivity still needing to take finasteride with it for maximum effectiveness, and longevity of results. Yes, many patients do have an online consultation before they come to the office, so the treatment can be done right away. Consultations are by appointment only, and can be arranged by our offices to be done remotely on a one-on-one video call on Skype or FaceTime. Consultations do require a consultation fee, but the fee can be applied to the cost of treatment. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Hi Bico Lov121_Indi4L, Sorry to hear that. A scalp examination can determine if you have thinning hair that can still be thickened to improve your scalp coverage. There is an older video for treating African-textured hair that may also help you with what's possible for hair restoration - czcams.com/video/0HhRbRqwcrw/video.html
Hi@@rockyfilla5092, It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back progressively thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Mohamed Fakroun, Sorry about that, but we have received your recent inquiry. With the brevity of your inquiry, you may believe that it's a treatment that can be shipped to your location. However, the Hair Regeneration treatment does need to be done in one of our offices in the US. I hope you understand this, and we will get back to regarding details for booking a consultation and getting treatment done.
Hi Dr Prasad, My question is around how do I stop using rogain. I have been using it for 6 months and gotten good results however I want to stop using it and I am curious how I best do that with minimal hair loss
Hi michael ghebrial-ibrahim, It's hard to stop using minoxidil because it delays hair shedding, and extends the growth cycle, so if you stop using it, you will likely have a sudden hair shed, and lose all that you gained from using it. Our Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil after their treatment, but some are weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. You can consider a prescription for finasteride to slow hair thinning, which won't affect hair shedding from minoxidil, but it does treat male pattern hair loss more directly. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi animosity4u , While we do have many out-of-state patients coming to our offices, we do have an office in Vienna, Virginia that may be more convenient for you, but we are not there as often as in our New York State locations.

Hello my hair experienced shock loss in the donor area I gotta mega session done over seas in in the US my surgeon told me it will grow back I want a second opinion and it’s only on one side can advise and if I wanted to submit a picture where can I do that? It’s been one month since procedure 5000 grafts
Hi eric Hamilton, I would need to physically see your donor area, and see the medical record of your procedure before giving a you a formal second opinion. A picture alone will not have the details about how your transplant was performed. I hope this helps you.
Hi Salman Shikalgar, Sorry, there are no tricks in managing male pattern hair loss. TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is not formulated using lab chemicals, but biological materials like PRP and ECM. For a good percentage of our male patients, finasteride is also needed to control DHT and slow hair thinning. There are no replacements or alternatives for these treatments at this time. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi my names Travell and I have a bald spot on my scalp area and I think it is because I use a product with a lot of alcohol do you have any tips in regrowing it back I started noticing it.
Hi Vell Official, As I haven't seen your scalp, my advice is limited. Bald spots are not associated with pattern hair loss, so I suggest you first stop using the product, and wait to see if growth improves. Specific treatments can be suggested after a proper scalp examination. I hope this helps you.
Hey Dr today after in doing my hair I noticed that there was a sore in my hair but it healed up but there is this space in my hair ,,is my hair gona grow back ?
Hi Natasha Chabinga, You should have the sore on the scalp examined by a dermatologist as I can't diagnose it with your description, so I can't give you a definitive answer. I hope this helps you.
Hi Faruk Suley, I don't quite understand your statement as pattern hair loss is genetic, and you cannot get from a friend. The treatment options for pattern hair loss can be seen in the video.
Hi P.guaren Guaren, It depends if hair relaxers were overused, and damaged the hair follicle, and if you have a different cause of hair loss like pattern hair loss. An examination is needed to determine the cause of your hair loss, then treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Khalil Walker, Sorry to hear about your problem, but the cause of the bald patch needs to be properly diagnosed as bald patches don't occur with pattern hair loss. I hope this helps you.
How can the follicles die inspite of daily application of monoxidil as it maintains the blood supply which is the main thing that keeps the hair follicle alive..
Blood supply is not what keeps healthy hair follicles. If blood supply was the issue of hair follicles not becoming less viable, then scalp skin would also be affected because of reduced blood supply, but scalp skin is completely healthy in the baldest of people.
Hi@@user-go2xi7zq5q, There is no special treatment to maintain healthy hair follicles, but having genetic pattern hair loss can affect the hair follicles otherwise healthy people as it's a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I’m David and I’m 35 and my front crown is starting to get thin how can I stop it from getting thinner while it in its early stage and I have long hair
Hi David Wiggins, It is possible to thicken thinning hair with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video, combined with finasteride to block DHT to slow hair thinning. You can refer to this video about the different factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated - czcams.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/video.html
Hi @advancedtv1110, At its highest cost, TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is priced at about half of a single FUT hair transplant, or about a third of an FUE transplant performed in the US. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi vengad raja, Finasteride is not a drug you stop taking because you are "cured". Finasteride is a drug to continually manage the DHT level in your body if have a scalp sensitivity to DHT. If you stop taking finasteride, your rate of hair thinning will accelerate. I prescribe finasteride as 1mg daily to my patients, and since finasteride is a prescription drug, you need to follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it to you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@vengadraja4038, You should talk to your prescribing doctor about side effects, as well as look into other common causes of erectile dysfunction such as too much alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, stress, and diet. I hope this helps you.
Hi @bunmiade9767, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is customized for each patient, so it has to be done in one of our offices.

Hi@@1blacka0, Sorry to hear that. I suggest you see a local dermatologist to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, as 15 is generally too young for pattern hair loss. It might be temporary, stress-related hair shedding, which usually doesn't require medical treatment, but it's still best to to have the cause diagnosed. I hope this helps you.
Hi sager alroumi, They both have about the same level of effectiveness, but I usually prescribe finasteride first, then have patients who have trouble with tolerance try dutasteride. Smoking can affect any oral medication since both introduce drugs (and in smoking, toxins and free radicals) into the bloodstream, so for your overall health and effectiveness of any medical therapy, you should try to stop smoking. I hope this helps you.
It's great. Where are you based? I have been loosing hair at my front. My hairline is now reciding badly. Would this treatment work.? African descent as well. Thanks Tom
Hi Tom, If you refer to 1:55, and 5:17, it shows how the treatment worked on lowering the hairline of a male of African descent. The treatment has worked for over 99% of pattern hair loss patients, so it will likely work for you. You may also need to take finasteride along with the injection treatment, especially if you are young, with early onset of pattern hair loss, and high DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to these videos on how we can improve hair thickness, density, and scalp coverage in men who are already on finasteride, including some examples of patients of African descent: czcams.com/video/4YowPNRsv6I/video.html czcams.com/video/r6A0KjRKHrI/video.html
Hi@@habtishpre, Sorry, but the treatment will have to be done in one of our offices in the US. We do have patients coming every day (under normal travel conditions) from around the world to the US for the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336. You can also reach us through www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, www.nyhairloss.com, or www.trichostem.com by filling out a contact form, and we will get back to you. I hope to hear from you soon.
Hi CANT BEAT ME, Hair can grow back if accidentally pulled out, as long as the hair follicles are not too damaged. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I’m 17 years old and I am African American , I have thick coarser hair , recently I have been stressing over school and have been lacking vitamin d , then I noticed a little bit of thinning on my crown , I was wondering if me lacking vitamin d was a reason why I was thinning a little bit on my crown and my hairline is pretty solid.
Hi SZ AMNESTY, Vitamin D is important for hair health and growth, but it's not clear if it can actually cause hair thinning. I suggest you increase your vitamin D, which is actually very easy as you just need more sun exposure on uncovered skin, and then see if things improve. If things don't improve by the time you are 18, you should have a scalp examination for pattern hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Hi Margaret Tetteh Paloma, If your son is already an adult, we can likely help him with this. The cost of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment varies with the extent of treatment needed. Cost of the treatment plan also includes the second booster treatment, if needed in advanced hair loss cases, as well regular follow ups to monitor your progress, either in our offices or through Skype, FaceTime or email. At its full cost, TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is priced at about half of a single FUT hair transplant, or about a third of an FUE transplant performed in the US. You can contact our offices or websites for a price range. Our offices are located in the US in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Hello swear I had 3 quarter sized bald spots at the back of my afro and then a massive line at the back my head making my Afro look weird it’s been happening since yr8 now I’m in yr10 I don’t know what to do
Hi J1 2Sav, Your bald spots may be due to temporary hair shedding due to stress. Pattern hair loss is not associated with bald spots because it affects more general areas such as the hairline, mid scalp, and crown when hair in those areas grow progressively thinner after shedding, and there is a delay in regrowth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@piegonboy6687, Temporary hair shedding usually doesn't require medical treatment. If you happen to be affected by severe stress, shed hair grows back shortly after the stress passes. You can look into supplementation like biotin which is vitamin B7 for hair growth and health. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@piegonboy6687, I'd have to diagnose the cause of your hair loss by examining your scalp. Stress-related hair shedding is all I could surmise with your description, so a proper diagnosis is needed before I make any specific recommendations. I hope this helps you.
What about hairloss from lack of vitamin D. My hair fall out within a month or 2 causing thinning on the crown of my head and also at the front of my head. I done a blood test and it came back that my vitamin D level was really low. I’ve been taking vitamin D for 4 month now and can see abit of hair grown and my hair has gone thicker but am also taking viviscal for hair growth. Any advice to know if it’s genetic hair loss or because of my lack of vitamin D. My dad have a lot of hair and also my grandad has a lot of hair. my grandad didn’t lose hair Untill he got really old.
Hi andre omar, If your vitamin D levels are now normal, and you are still experiencing progressive hair thinning, then there is a strong possibility you have genetic pattern hair loss. A scalp examination by an experienced doctor is needed to determine if you have male pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I haven’t experienced progressive hair thinning yet. A week into taking vitamins D supplements I experienced hair growth but my hair at the front Was going dull abit. Which also grown back but when I grow my hair the patch is visible until I cut my hair at one level .
Hi Bلa, Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. You will have to use it daily to sustain these effects, but these effects can also decrease with time even if you use it daily. Despite not thickening hair, nor slowing hair thinning, minoxidil will not make thinning worse. Not taking a DHT-blocker like finasteride that slows hair thinning will make thinning worse, especially if you have a highly DHT-sensitive scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m glad someone did this. Our hair loss can not always be treated the same so it’s great to know Dr Prasaf is well experienced in em dealing with darker skin and our hair type
You're welcome, Chloe Easley! Darker skin is more prone to scarring for procedures like eyelid surgery, and as seen in this video, there is differences in African-textured hair. In case you are interested, I did do a video about cosmetic eyelid surgery for darker skin - czcams.com/video/ZNkvC941ng4/video.html
I got a hair transplant back in October, the best decision ever!
Hi@@lifewithchris87,
I'm glad it worked out well for you. It's important to keep in mind that hair transplant surgery by itself doesn't treat progressive hair thinning/ hair loss, so hair loss management is important after surgery. Here's a video about it for your reference - czcams.com/video/rIlI55F478w/video.html
@Amiya Prasad, M.D. Thank you, Doctor. I take Minoxidil and use coconut oil.
You're welcome,@@lifewithchris87. If you are male, you should at least talk to your transplant surgeon about a prescription for a DHT-blocker like finasteride, which actually slows progressive hair thinning, and can be used long-term more predictably than minoxidil. Coconut oil doesn't do much as a hair loss treatment. You can refer to these videos about the importance of finasteride in men, the limits of minoxidil, and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely after our treatment:
czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html
czcams.com/video/sv82XSpQfnI/video.html
czcams.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/video.html
Thank you, sir, for educating our community and providing treatment without pills but with a natural situation that has fewer side effects. Plus, you have great hair yourself!
You're welcome, MeMe, but keep in mind that I still prescribe finasteride to a good number of male patients even if they undergo the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment, especially in younger men with higher DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to this video about the importance of finasteride in male pattern hair loss treatment - czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html
Great video proves we are the same but different at the same time.
Hi Maurice湯 茂 林,
Yes, African-textured hair does have advantages in covering more scalp with less hair density.
Respect the fact that this guy has obviously did real research
Thanks for the appreciation, Anthony Callis!
It’s fascinating learning about ethnic differences
Great coverage on this topic. Thank you.
You're welcome, nishani3! Glad you found the video helpful!
Dear doctor I have a question.. can I grow hair back in the donor area?! My previous surgery was FUE
Hi Q8 with Love,
No, your donor area cannot regenerate hair follicles once they are grafted. If that were the case, then hair transplants could virtually replace all lost hair, which they cannot do. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m 15 and I have thinning on my crown... my hairline has always been kinda high but I’ve never had a thinning problem until recently I guess... I haven’t been taking vitamins like usual so that may be a case, or wave butter.
Has it gotten better?
Hey I have a question every time I grow my hair out I always have more hair in the back and the sides. The top always grows slower. Am I balding
Hi Tre Payne,
It is possible as the hair at the lower back of the head, and at the sides are genetically resistant to hair thinning. Genetic pattern hair loss also affects hair growth cycles, where there is a delay in regrowth after shedding, as well as slower growth. An examination is needed to see if there is progressive thinning in your scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi doctor, is there a way to get this threatment in Canada?
Hi Jorge Inostroza,
We don't currently offer the treatment in Canada, but Canadians are our most common international patients since those on the East Coast don't even need to fly in for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in New York or Virginia. Many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you doctor, unfortunately im not able to leave Canada at the moment since im not covid vaccinated, hopefully gov lift this restriction soon, i really want to start with this threatment ASAP... once again thanks a lot

Hi doctor. I am 36 years old, itchy and flaky scalp (seborrheic dermatitis) and am shedding a lot and have bald spots after having my baby. I have androgenetic alopecia and wonder if there are any recommendations for how u can get my hair back? Thank you
Hi K,
Hair shedding, and bald spots are normal after postpartum changes to hormone levels, but the shed hair does grow back as hormone levels stabilize.
Androgenetic alopecia is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding, which isn't indicated in your description. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat androgenetic alopecia in women - czcams.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/video.html
I’m 15 starting to have a receding hairline, my hairline is thinning but I’ve been doing scalp massages and putting oils in my hair and I’ve seen a little progress in little over a week should I keep doing this? And any suggestions?
Hi That05kidd,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need to have it checked by an experienced doctor to determine the cause, before treatment can be recommended. 15 is very young for pattern hair loss. If you can't have an examination with us, I suggest you see a local doctor about it. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I’ve consulted with my physician and he said it’s probably just genetics but he doesn’t know. Is there anything I can do about this. My hair started thinning at 18.
Hi@@vitalisogbeama33,
You would need a definitive diagnosis about the cause of your hair loss, although most cases of hair loss are genetic pattern hair loss. You can refer to this recent video about how we diagnose and treat male pattern hair loss - czcams.com/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/video.html
My hair is thinning at the edges of my hairline and I am only 13 I think I’m going bald because my dad has hair loss and most of my half brothers are bald and my brother that is 22 hairline is receding and my crown is thinning people think it’s a bald spot I am able to hide it but you can still see it I need help please any solution??
Hi Jellyfam_ Sb24,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you have this problem examined by a local doctor. Even if you do have the genes for pattern hair loss in your family, 13 is too young for early onset of pattern hair loss. A physical examination is needed to confirm if there is an issue. Normally I would not recommend treatment to start at your age, but I haven't examined your scalp, so you do need a doctor to physically examine and diagnose the issue before treatment can be considered. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dr. prasad, i'm suffering from hair loss due to the hard water in my country. part of my hair is not growing to rhym with other. can i go PLASMA TREATMENT to restore my scalp?
Hi ZEAL OZIOKO,
Hard water, or water with a heavy mineral content, does not cause hair loss. Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics. I suggest you have a proper examination to determine if you have male pattern hair loss. You can refer to this video about the factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated; and the differences of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) from what we do in our practice with a PRP-combination treatment called TrichoStem Hair Regeneration:

Hello Dr. I recently got a short hair cut. Due to dying, I have hair loss around my edges and hairline. It's not too bad, but it is quite embarrassing when my hair starts to grow out because I can see which spots are thinning. I still see the follicles, but the areas are smooth. I am of African descent and wish to take this route for treatment. What is the estimated cost for 1 treatment? And do you believe the hair will grow back? Thank you!
Hi Queen Designs Slater,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is primarily for hair thinning due to male and female pattern hair loss. For issues like traction alopecia, and hair loss or thinning due to chemicals, we can only approach them on a case-by-case basis, and cannot state the same success rate as we do for pattern hair loss patients. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Same
Hello doctor, I’ve been suffering from alopecia areata for 6 months now, I’ve lost all of my confidence. How can I get this treatment in Nigeria?
Hi Timothy Bassey,
Sorry to hear about your problem. While the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration can stimulate hair growth in people suffering from alopecia areata, it does not treat the autoimmune condition that attacks the hair follicles. The treatment has to be done in one of our offices in the US, and alopecia areata patients are treated on a case-by-case basis due to the limitations of the treatment with an autoimmune condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Alright, what treatments can I get here to help stimulate hair growth. I really need something
Hi@@timothybassey4607,
I suggest you meet with a local dermatologist to see if they have a treatment available that may help you. Like I said previously, we do use TrichoStem Hair Regeneration on alopecia areata patients on a case-by-case basis, but the treatment cannot be shipped over to you. I hope this helps you.
Will drinking water, taking vitamins, using Rogaine, and taking Propecia help over time
Hi TheDON,
Finasteride can be used long-term to slow hair thinning, but the effects of minoxidil do wane with time. Keep in mind that pattern hair loss is caused by genetics, not by nutrition. You can refer to these videos about the limits of minoxidil, the importance of finasteride, how we can go beyond finasteride alone in increasing scalp coverage, and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need to use minoxidil after our treatment:

Hi Nina Konig,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is also used for female pattern hair loss. The example on the right of the thumbnail is actually a female patient, and female patients of African descent are shown throughout the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
This is so good are you located in Australia where can I find this trichostem in Australia
Hi Yusuf Jr,
Sorry, but the treatment has to be done in our office in the US as it is customized using PRP from your own blood, and the algorithm for custom formulation follows your own individual hair loss factors. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment (under normal travel conditions), but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
Hi Dr Prasad, I am from South Africa. My hair tends to shed every year during autumn moving into the winter months. I stopped relaxing my hair last year but the shedding happened this year again. The hair doesn't shed to complete baldness but to shorter hair than the rest. That part of the scalp is always very itchy even when the hair has grown back. Should I go see a doctor for treatment?
Hi Mihle Quthu,
It's not clear by your description if there is an actual problem. Hair shedding usually doesn't require treatment, even if it is telogen effluvium, which is hair loss caused by stress. A doctor is needed when your hair is growing back thinner after shedding, or if there is a delay in regrowth. If you have an itchy scalp, this is a separate issue you can consult a dermatologist about. I hope this helps you.
My hair falling out I’m 17 and my had inches
Hi Ankle bully Games,
Sorry to hear that, but the cause of your hair loss needs to be properly diagnosed as 17 is young for pattern hair loss, and 17 is not a safe age for a prescription DHT-blocker like finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Ok, I'm in my 30s and experience thinning. I have always had long hair locs to be exact. During the pandemic, I experience tremendous hair loss to the point I cut my hair off think it was causing damage to the scalp cause of weight. I have managed to stop the large hair fall over the past few months and now seeing great amount of hair growth. But yet still thinner than I'm use to in multiple spots, it's mainly on the top and temple. I have no bald members of my family for generations. My uncle is in his late 60s and has a full head of grey as well and my grandparents. What should I do? Or ask and except when going to see a dermatologist ?
Hi K B,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you do need to have a scalp examination for a proper diagnosis of pattern hair loss. The genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations from both sides of your family, so it is possible that you have them from a late family member you’ve never even met. A microscopic scalp examination can confirm if you have hair thinning caused by genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir please i have hair lost at the age if 17yrs please where can i found you am from Accra Ghana and i love how you are taking your time to explaining everything to us indeed you are a good teacher and a well trained doctor.❤Doctor i will like to see for my hair Transplant
Hi Rocky Filla,
Our offices are in the US, and a hair transplant is not appropriate for someone your age, and should only be considered if you're at least 30-years-old. I suggest you see a local doctor to diagnose the cause of your hair loss as you are still quite young for male pattern hair loss, and for treatment. You can refer to this video about why hair transplants should not be performed in men under 30 - czcams.com/video/2GkCy-30hFg/video.html
@Rockyfilla
Ive you found solution already?
Hello I’m young and I’m noticing thinning on my crown but the rest of my hair is thick how could I fix this?
Hi MOB Lil Moe,
How old is "young"? When I say "young" in the context of my patients, it usually means still in their 20s. Male pattern hair loss can start treatment as early as 18, but a diagnosis for male pattern hair loss is needed before recommending specific treatments. You can refer to this video about the different factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated - czcams.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/video.html
Does dht gets build up at the hair follicle and do not allow more blood to move to the follicles.do baldness actually depends on blood supply...
DHT is in the blood, so it's not a blood supply issue.
Any recommendations for a derm in Los Angeles who practices similar to you with people of African Heritage?
Hi Kamesha Nabors,
Sorry, I'm not aware of any hair restoration doctors in LA who take the same approach in treating African-textured hair. Since this is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in New York or Virginia. Under normal travel circumstances, many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up. I hope this clarifies things for you.

You're welcome,@@Msjamz! I hope the vaccines roll out soon! Our offices are currently open, and we are taking out-of-state patients.
Dr Prasad , do you recommend oral minoxidil in a 5mg tablet for hair loss?
Hi Macio Bron,
I don't prescribe oral minoxidil as oral finasteride is more effective at treating one of the major causes of male pattern hair loss, and can retain its effects long-term. The effectiveness of minoxidil tends to wane with time, and minoxidil results can be lost soon after stopping use, or if used for extended periods. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Dr Prasad, with finasteride do you recommend 1 mg tablet or 5 mg?
Hi@@maciobron9664,
1 mg is the proper dosage for male pattern hair loss, but finasteride does require a doctor's prescription, so all of this is explained when you have your diagnosis done. I hope this helps you.
I'm 16 and i had a full set of hair but then i noticed that it was really flat at the back and i thought it was just me sleeping on my head made it like that so i cut it off but then i took a look at it and it had bald patches at the back of my hair what does this mean
Hi Lil Scar,
It's not clear if your bald patches are due to you cutting your hair yourself, of if you have stress-related hair shedding in patches. If you are worried about it, you can have it diagnosed properly with an examination. However, it's important to know that bald patches are not caused by pattern hair loss, as pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning, not sudden hair shedding, or sudden hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Dr. Prasad! If someone notices male patten baldness like front thinning and crown. That indicates the areas that are sensitive to DHT? Can DHT attack follicles later on in life. I am 31. Sides are full of hair and back as I trim it every day to keep it low. But scalp area takes months to grow. Thank you!
Hi Sub Zero,
Level of DHT-sensitivity differs among men. Men who are highly DHT-sensitive are affected earlier in life, like in their early 20s. Men who are less DHT-sensitive can start thinning in their 40s. Pattern hair loss also affects how long it takes your hair grow back after shedding, not just hair thinning. Generally, pattern hair loss and DHT-sensitivity affect men following the Rule of Decades: 20% of men in their 20s have it, 30% of men in their 30s, etc. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. Thank you for the reply Dr. Prasad

Thanks for sharing, if someone got a translation would they still be able to adopt a Bald look, or would there be scars so those days are over, as in a hair transplant is a firm decision to have hair, you wouldn't have the option to shave down with issue ?
Hi Classic Man,
It depends on the type of transplant you have, and how it is performed. If you have an FUT transplant, and without advanced surgical closure of the scar, the donor area scar would be more noticeable if you've shaved your head. FUE transplants can also leave small scars that are noticeable with a shaved head, depending on how the hair grafts were extracted by the surgeon. You can refer to this video on how I camouflage the FUT scar as I don't normally perform FUE surgery - czcams.com/video/ciAFTZnKhq8/video.html

I am also 15 from Ethiopia i have hair loss and hair line problem what should i do at home
Hi aberash Sbhat,
I suggest you have this checked by a doctor as 15 is too young to have a hair loss issue. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. I hope this helps you.
What about hair loss and thinning hair due to menopause. Can this be helped?
Hi etta phil,
Yes, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can help women with hair loss due to menopause. Estrogen does have a positive effect on hair growth, so estrogen supplements may also be needed. While I will do a future video regarding your specific question, you can refer to this one about treating female pattern hair loss, including hair loss due to menopause, that was published in October 2020 - czcams.com/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/video.html

Sir is hair transplant is permanent solution or We have to take finasteride and prp regularly after transplant.
Hi rajesh arora,
Hair transplants are not a permanent solution because alone they do not treat progressive thinning/hair loss of native hair, so finasteride is needed to slow thinning of native hair after a transplant. A treatment like Hair Regeneration is also needed to improve transplant results by helping to heal grafts and improve survival, thicken thinning native hair, improve healing of donor area, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Plss rplyy 😭😭 my requst
Hi Kk Hy,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need to confirm a genetic cause of hair loss with a proper scalp examination, especially at your age since it is very early for genetic pattern hair loss. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Pls send ur number.....

Dr
what is "regerative cell therapy for hair"??
Are stem cell, Acell & regenrative cell therapy same?? Plz give a brief explanation..
Hi gokul gs,
You can get a pretty full explanation of the Hair Regeneration treatment in this video czcams.com/video/Mx6uaxbAn9c/video.html
Dr Prasad , I sent my information on your website two weeks ago and there is no reply I hope to use the Hair Regeneration treatmen as soon as possible
Hi Mohamed Fakroun,
Sorry about that, but we have received your recent inquiry. With the brevity of your inquiry, you may believe that it's a treatment that can be shipped to your location. However, the Hair Regeneration treatment does need to be done in one of our offices in the US. I hope you understand this, and we will get back to regarding details for booking a consultation and getting treatment done.
Hi Dr Prasad,
My question is around how do I stop using rogain. I have been using it for 6 months and gotten good results however I want to stop using it and I am curious how I best do that with minimal hair loss
Hi michael ghebrial-ibrahim,
It's hard to stop using minoxidil because it delays hair shedding, and extends the growth cycle, so if you stop using it, you will likely have a sudden hair shed, and lose all that you gained from using it. Our Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil after their treatment, but some are weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. You can consider a prescription for finasteride to slow hair thinning, which won't affect hair shedding from minoxidil, but it does treat male pattern hair loss more directly. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I am 65 and my hair is balding at the top. I think it is just aging but I am in Maryland. Do you take out of state patients?
Hi animosity4u ,

Hi A random boy,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need to have a proper scalp examination and diagnosis to determine the cause of your hair loss as you are young for pattern hair loss. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Hello. I am just starting a Rogaine regimen. This is very interesting. How do I get a consultation and how much is the cost?
Hi Travis Lee,
All our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need to use minoxidil at all after the injection treatment. You can contact us through our offices or websites to book a consultation, and to get a price range for treatment as cost depends on extent of treatment needed. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Hello my hair experienced shock loss in the donor area I gotta mega session done over seas in in the US my surgeon told me it will grow back I want a second opinion and it’s only on one side can advise and if I wanted to submit a picture where can I do that? It’s been one month since procedure 5000 grafts
Hi eric Hamilton,
I would need to physically see your donor area, and see the medical record of your procedure before giving a you a formal second opinion. A picture alone will not have the details about how your transplant was performed. I hope this helps you.
Hello Dr. Do you have any natural way to regrow hairs in male pattern baldness? As you do trichostem theorapy, any replacement trick which is natural.
Hi Salman Shikalgar,
Sorry, there are no tricks in managing male pattern hair loss. TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is not formulated using lab chemicals, but biological materials like PRP and ECM. For a good percentage of our male patients, finasteride is also needed to control DHT and slow hair thinning. There are no replacements or alternatives for these treatments at this time. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi my names Travell and I have a bald spot on my scalp area and I think it is because I use a product with a lot of alcohol do you have any tips in regrowing it back I started noticing it.
Hi Vell Official,
As I haven't seen your scalp, my advice is limited. Bald spots are not associated with pattern hair loss, so I suggest you first stop using the product, and wait to see if growth improves. Specific treatments can be suggested after a proper scalp examination. I hope this helps you.
Hey Dr today after in doing my hair I noticed that there was a sore in my hair but it healed up but there is this space in my hair ,,is my hair gona grow back ?
Hi Natasha Chabinga,
You should have the sore on the scalp examined by a dermatologist as I can't diagnose it with your description, so I can't give you a definitive answer. I hope this helps you.
Please Doctor am also from Africa and my question is my friend give me bald hair line and I want my hair line back again so wt do I do now
Hi Faruk Suley,
I don't quite understand your statement as pattern hair loss is genetic, and you cannot get from a friend. The treatment options for pattern hair loss can be seen in the video.
So if used relaxer, then there is nothing I can do if my hair loss is because of this ?
Hi P.guaren Guaren,
It depends if hair relaxers were overused, and damaged the hair follicle, and if you have a different cause of hair loss like pattern hair loss. An examination is needed to determine the cause of your hair loss, then treatment can be recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I am an african american 16 year old and for years everytime i try to grow my hair i get a thinning or bald area on the back left side of my head
Hi Khalil Walker,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but the cause of the bald patch needs to be properly diagnosed as bald patches don't occur with pattern hair loss. I hope this helps you.
How can the follicles die inspite of daily application of monoxidil as it maintains the blood supply which is the main thing that keeps the hair follicle alive..
Blood supply is not what keeps healthy hair follicles. If blood supply was the issue of hair follicles not becoming less viable, then scalp skin would also be affected because of reduced blood supply, but scalp skin is completely healthy in the baldest of people.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD then what keeps healthy follicles?
Hi@@user-go2xi7zq5q,
There is no special treatment to maintain healthy hair follicles, but having genetic pattern hair loss can affect the hair follicles otherwise healthy people as it's a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I’m David and I’m 35 and my front crown is starting to get thin how can I stop it from getting thinner while it in its early stage and I have long hair
Hi David Wiggins,
It is possible to thicken thinning hair with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video, combined with finasteride to block DHT to slow hair thinning. You can refer to this video about the different factors of male pattern hair loss, and how they are treated - czcams.com/video/d0tddJt6OME/video.html
How much in general from low to high ?
Hi @advancedtv1110,
At its highest cost, TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is priced at about half of a single FUT hair transplant, or about a third of an FUE transplant performed in the US. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi doctor i take finax 1mg in alternative days last few months i did not take this tablet.any problem?
Hi vengad raja,
Finasteride is not a drug you stop taking because you are "cured". Finasteride is a drug to continually manage the DHT level in your body if have a scalp sensitivity to DHT. If you stop taking finasteride, your rate of hair thinning will accelerate. I prescribe finasteride as 1mg daily to my patients, and since finasteride is a prescription drug, you need to follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it to you. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD hi doctor but finasteride is many side effect.i have already 2 years take .so stop this tablet
Hi@@vengadraja4038,
You should talk to your prescribing doctor about side effects, as well as look into other common causes of erectile dysfunction such as too much alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, stress, and diet. I hope this helps you.

Me watching this at a age of 15😭
Hi Itachi Uchiha,
Pattern hair loss is an adult problem, so you shouldn't be worrying about it at your age. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I don't know this year I started seeing bald places my father also has the same.
Hi@@1blacka0,
Sorry to hear that. I suggest you see a local dermatologist to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, as 15 is generally too young for pattern hair loss. It might be temporary, stress-related hair shedding, which usually doesn't require medical treatment, but it's still best to to have the cause diagnosed. I hope this helps you.
what works better at blocking dht, finasteride or dutasteride? and does smoking affect these medications?
Hi sager alroumi,
They both have about the same level of effectiveness, but I usually prescribe finasteride first, then have patients who have trouble with tolerance try dutasteride. Smoking can affect any oral medication since both introduce drugs (and in smoking, toxins and free radicals) into the bloodstream, so for your overall health and effectiveness of any medical therapy, you should try to stop smoking. I hope this helps you.
It's great. Where are you based? I have been loosing hair at my front. My hairline is now reciding badly. Would this treatment work.? African descent as well.
Thanks
Tom
Hi Tom,
If you refer to 1:55, and 5:17, it shows how the treatment worked on lowering the hairline of a male of African descent. The treatment has worked for over 99% of pattern hair loss patients, so it will likely work for you. You may also need to take finasteride along with the injection treatment, especially if you are young, with early onset of pattern hair loss, and high DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to these videos on how we can improve hair thickness, density, and scalp coverage in men who are already on finasteride, including some examples of patients of African descent:

Thanks for responding. How can we get your treatment in Melbourne Australia?
Thanks
Hi@@habtishpre,
Sorry, but the treatment will have to be done in one of our offices in the US. We do have patients coming every day (under normal travel conditions) from around the world to the US for the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, and results for international patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Can hair grow back if accidentally pulled out
Hi CANT BEAT ME,
Hair can grow back if accidentally pulled out, as long as the hair follicles are not too damaged. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I’m 17 years old and I am African American , I have thick coarser hair , recently I have been stressing over school and have been lacking vitamin d , then I noticed a little bit of thinning on my crown , I was wondering if me lacking vitamin d was a reason why I was thinning a little bit on my crown and my hairline is pretty solid.
Hi SZ AMNESTY,
Vitamin D is important for hair health and growth, but it's not clear if it can actually cause hair thinning. I suggest you increase your vitamin D, which is actually very easy as you just need more sun exposure on uncovered skin, and then see if things improve. If things don't improve by the time you are 18, you should have a scalp examination for pattern hair loss. I hope this helps you.
my son has his edges receding is there any help for him, if so where are guys located and how much is it ??

Cost of the treatment plan also includes the second booster treatment, if needed in advanced hair loss cases, as well regular follow ups to monitor your progress, either in our offices or through Skype, FaceTime or email. At its full cost, TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is priced at about half of a single FUT hair transplant, or about a third of an FUE transplant performed in the US.

Hello swear I had 3 quarter sized bald spots at the back of my afro and then a massive line at the back my head making my Afro look weird it’s been happening since yr8 now I’m in yr10 I don’t know what to do
Hi J1 2Sav,
Your bald spots may be due to temporary hair shedding due to stress. Pattern hair loss is not associated with bald spots because it affects more general areas such as the hairline, mid scalp, and crown when hair in those areas grow progressively thinner after shedding, and there is a delay in regrowth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thanks,do u have any tips that can help it grow back quicker?
Hi@@piegonboy6687,
Temporary hair shedding usually doesn't require medical treatment. If you happen to be affected by severe stress, shed hair grows back shortly after the stress passes. You can look into supplementation like biotin which is vitamin B7 for hair growth and health. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. the thing is I don’t stress which is the confusing thing
Hi@@piegonboy6687,
I'd have to diagnose the cause of your hair loss by examining your scalp. Stress-related hair shedding is all I could surmise with your description, so a proper diagnosis is needed before I make any specific recommendations. I hope this helps you.
What about hairloss from lack of vitamin D. My hair fall out within a month or 2 causing thinning on the crown of my head and also at the front of my head. I done a blood test and it came back that my vitamin D level was really low. I’ve been taking vitamin D for 4 month now and can see abit of hair grown and my hair has gone thicker but am also taking viviscal for hair growth. Any advice to know if it’s genetic hair loss or because of my lack of vitamin D. My dad have a lot of hair and also my grandad has a lot of hair. my grandad didn’t lose hair Untill he got really old.
Hi andre omar,
If your vitamin D levels are now normal, and you are still experiencing progressive hair thinning, then there is a strong possibility you have genetic pattern hair loss. A scalp examination by an experienced doctor is needed to determine if you have male pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I haven’t experienced progressive hair thinning yet. A week into taking vitamins D supplements I experienced hair growth but my hair at the front Was going dull abit. Which also grown back but when I grow my hair the patch is visible until I cut my hair at one level .
Best of luck, @@andreomar5821!
Minoxidil can aggravate thinning, is it true..??
Hi Bلa,
Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. You will have to use it daily to sustain these effects, but these effects can also decrease with time even if you use it daily. Despite not thickening hair, nor slowing hair thinning, minoxidil will not make thinning worse. Not taking a DHT-blocker like finasteride that slows hair thinning will make thinning worse, especially if you have a highly DHT-sensitive scalp. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Do topical DHT blockers work?
Hi Abrar Chowdhury,
DHT is present in the bloodstream, so oral finasteride is more effective than topical. I hope this clarifies things for you.
