Wow, I'm impressed by your responses doc. You actually answered everyone's questions. Rare on CZcams!
Thank you, @sumchilll.
Thank you for being honest about dead hair follicles. I appreciate your telling the truth, rather than giving people like me false hope. I will be bald for the rest of my life. That's not something I would choose, but that's the cold, hard fact. Thanks again.
Hi Fran Jones,
As explained in the video, if hair has not grown in an area for less than 5 years, they may be dormant, and the follicles can still be stimulated for growth. If an area has not grown hair for more than 5 years, the follicle is likely dead. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD hey I just recently got a little bald spot on my vertex/crown like 2 months ago theirs a little of bit of hair on it but not much , Do you think I still have a chance to have a regrowth or should I see a doctor soon and see what they say .
Hi@@kiddpandadrinkswater4560,
I advise you have the cause diagnosed properly with a physical examination as pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning that occurs over years, and not bald spots that happen in just two months. That said, sudden causes of hair loss are usually treatable, but diagnosis of the cause is needed first. I hope this helps you.
I'm glad it helped you, @Charming Chowder
I have two questions :
1. Can the follicles damaged by Lazer Hair Removal repair themselves back to their healthy form(even if they take long time) ?
2. Two chemicals/enzymes are know to 'weaken' hair 'roots' aka 'follicles'. Can the follicles damaged by these two enzymes be repaired ?
Enzymes :-
Papain - Natural hair retardant plant enzyme derived from papayas
Narcissus Tazetta Bulb Extract - Contains lycorine, a natural hair growth inhibitor
Hi DATABASE 0.3 ST,
If you've had laser hair removal done in the past, you will notice that although results do last longer than shaving, the hair eventually does grow back.
I'm not familiar with the chemicals/enzymes you mention. I hope this helps you.
Question: sometimes I’ll have an itch on my scalp, and I’ll feel a little bump where it itches. It might get caught in my fingernail, and it looks like a little bulbous thing that feels like grain of salt or something. Sometimes with hair attached to it. If that came out of my head, does that mean that that hair is gone for good?
Hi rubicant112,
The little bulb at the end of a hair shaft is usually keratin, or dead skin, and not the hair follicle, so hair does grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doctor , does chicken pox kills hair follicle cause there are blister on the scalp????
Hi Md Atif Akhtar,
While technically chicken pox on the scalp can affect the hair follicle, it is unlikely if you manage your chicken pox blisters well to reduce chances of rupturing and scarring. I hope this helps you.
I appreciate you sharing so much information. You stated that generally as long as a follicle has not gone past 5 years without producing hair it is dead. Are there factors that could cause the follicles to die before the 5 year mark? I have lost hair over the last 2 1/2 years, so I was curious what the likelihood is that your PRP treatment could stimulate those follicles to produce hair again?
Hi gsr852,
It's not clear if you have experienced increased hair shedding over the last 2.5 years, which is usually temporary; or if you are experiencing progressive hair thinning, which is likely pattern hair loss. I would have to confirm what you have before recommending treatment. Shed hair does grow back without medical treatment, but if it grow back thinner, then treatment is needed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you for your response. I was diagnosed with alopecia areata in 2013. Since then I have had flares over the years where I had diffuse thinning, but cortisone shots would take care of the flares, and my hair would grow back. Over the past 2 1/2 years, the cortisone shots have not helped, and when I asked my dermatologist at my last appointment if he felt any of the hair loss was associated with MPB he said no. I read that PRP can help with MPB as well as alopecia areata. (Note: I do deal with chronic anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorder).
Hi@@gsr852,
TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is not PRP alone, and PRP is not even the main ingredient. However, we treat alopecia areata patients on a case-by-case basis as our treatment does not treat the autoimmune condition affecting the scalp, but primarily a treatment for pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How long of a wait is it typically before you can have an appointment for the treatment? I will be calling the NY office shortly but would appreciate an estimate.
Hi RPF Creates,
It's best to call as my patient coordinator can best answer queries about scheduling. We hope to hear from you soon!
1- So what does Hair Regeneration Treatmement involve? What is the process?
2- How to know if my hair follicles are dead or not?
3- If DHT is blocked, doesn't this mean that current hair follicles shouldn't be affected by genetics?
Thanks for the video.
Hi Jojo Joestar,
1. You can refer to this video about the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration process - czcams.com/video/Mx6uaxbAn9c/video.html
2. Dead or dormant hair follicles cannot be identified by a physical examination, but generally if an area of scalp has been smooth bald for over 5 years, the follicles are likely dead, but if it's been under 5 years, the follicles may be dormant
3. DHT-sensitivity is not the only factor in male pattern hair loss, as you can see in this video where we get thicker hair growth and more scalp coverage in men who were already on a DHT-blocker like finasteride for years prior to receiving our treatment - czcams.com/video/4YowPNRsv6I/video.html
I hope this clarifies things for you
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I appreciate your reply!
1- Isn't sensitivity to DHT the main genetic culprit of about 95% of male pattern hair loss cases? If not what other genetic factors are involved?
2- Shouldn't a good diet/supplements, dht blocking products, and organic hair care products enough to *at least* halt current male pattern hair loss?
How much does the treatment at your clinic cost?
Thanks again for the detailed, helpful reply.
Hi@@Axxxel_in_Harlem,
1. DHT-sensitivity is a major factor of male pattern hair loss, but it's not the only factor as seen in the video I sent you. Even if you block DHT-formation with the most effective DHT-blocking drugs like finasteride or dutasteride, they only slow hair thinning, and don't stop it completely. Other pattern hair loss factors include limited growth cycles, and the fact that it's a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA.
2. Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition, not nutritional, or environmental. Pattern hair loss cannot be cured or completely stopped, but it can be managed to achieve as much hair thickness and scalp coverage as possible. Also see answer above.
3. 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 our 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.

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Again, thanks for your reply!
1- It seems your method of treatment involves a combination of PRP, as well as Vitamin D, among others? So it basically is a different method of administering PRP, but with additional benefits?
2- Do I need to commit to doing PRP for the rest of my life if I start doing it? Or is a handful of times enough? What are the potential side effects if I keep doing it?
Thank you so much. I will look into your clinic. You seem to be knowing what you're doing. Best of luck!
Hi@@Axxxel_in_Harlem,
1. No, because PRP is not even our main ingredient. The main ingredient is extracellular matrix by ACell. You can refer to these videos about how our treatment is different from PRP alone, and other ACell+PRP treatments (which we did first, and longer than anyone else):
czcams.com/video/vZAGaAssewY/video.html
czcams.com/video/9hZRv2NQ7SM/video.html
2. The benefits of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment lasts 3-5 years or more, and you may need finasteride along with it depending on your level of DHT-sensitivity. Keep in mind that pattern hair loss can't be cured, but it can be managed to maximize hair thickness and scalp coverage. Managing pattern hair loss means active management. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr.
I'm new to your channel, and I would like to first of all say thank you for uploading this content. My question is, do you have any experience in dealing with African American hair? Our hair tends to be thicker and grows very slowly. Based on your stages of male baldness pattern chart in this video, I'm between a 2 and 3. There is not quite a bald spot yet but the hair is definitely thinning. Would I be a good candidate for this procedure or something different based on hair type. Thanks in advance.
Hi B4ReaL 1,
We certainly have performed this treatment for African-textured hair. You can refer to these videos about the differences of this type of hair texture, and examples of how this treatment has helped our patients of African descent:

My plan is to use minoxidil and finasteride for approximately 12 months to strengthen and regrow as much of my existing hair as possible. Then, I will be getting a FUE hair transplant to fill in my hairline and whichever areas didn’t grow back from the medical treatment alone. Then, I will maintain with topical minoxidil and finasteride to maximize my potential and minimize additional hair loss. I’m about two months in and am already seeing new hair growth. I also have been micro needling twice a week.
Hi TSL999,
You should consider your age at the time of transplant, as well as talk to your doctor about oral finasteride as it is more effective to block DHT systemically rather than just the scalp. You can refer to this video about why hair transplants are not recommended for men under 30 - czcams.com/video/2GkCy-30hFg/video.html

Please Reply Doctor 😓🙏
I am 27 years old. I am facing hair fall problem for 8 years. My frontal template area is become bald. Earlier 5 years ago i started minoxidile and multivitamin tabs as prescribed by doctor. I got good result on my template area. But later i stopped it because i thought my problem has gone as i grew hairs on my frontal area. But after that gradually my frontal part again becomes bald. It's getting worst day by day Now i recently started minoxidil and finesteride again after 3 years. I did not care about that earlier, now i have seriously taken it.
Recently i have again started minoxidil 5% & finesteride as prescribed by doctor. please say can i get my frontal hairs back?? I am very depressed about my frontal forehead baldness. What should i do?? 😓 😥
I have trichotillomania. It's been 5years now. So will my hair grow again??
Hi Solitary,
Sorry to hear about your problem. If you have trichotillomania, and the hair follicles are not damaged from the tension of constant pulling, the hair can grow back on its own without treatment. However, the damage to your hair follicles, as well as the possibility of other concurrent hair loss causes like pattern hair loss, do need to be assessed with a proper physical examination. I hope this helps you.
I’m 17 years old and during lockdown most of my hair follicles on my temple have been dead (not growing) and the remaining follicles have been growing back but the dead ones haven’t been growing back at all, is there anything I can do my self to fix this?
Hi OPrometheusO AJ,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but your follicles aren't dead because no growth has to be seen for 3-5 years for them to be dead. Without a proper examination to confirm the cause, you may just have stress-related hair shedding if the hairs you do have growing back are not thinner. I hope this helps you.
Hey, since have traction alopecia for more than five years.so now my follicles are dead? Kindly tell me I stop wasting my money on cresina?
Hi@@hadijaali7075,
Traction alopecia can permanently damage hair follicles due to the constant tension, so your hair follicles are likely permanently damaged if it's been over 5 years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you.will transplant help?
Hi@@hadijaali7075,
If follicles are permanently damaged from traction alopecia, then a surgical hair transplant may be the only option to have hair in the affected area. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I have pulled out my front hairs due to tension , how can they be regrown please give me some ways
I am just 18
Hi Nipun Mittal,
Tension or traction alopecia can damage the hair follicles permanently. If the follicles are not damaged, you will have to wait until hair grows back. Hair follicles damaged by tension cannot be treated for regrowth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doc
How to reverse scalp calcification and fibrosis?
Hi Rahul Singh,
You can see a dermatologist about the issue and its treatment as it's a little outside of what we do in our practice. I hope this helps you.
This reminds me of that old show that aired a long time ago about a bank that didn't have any funds for withdrawals. "This is a bank we don't have your money."
Hi Jonathan Tricoli,
I see your point, but we can stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles that are still viable, but currently not growing; and thicken thinning hair from hair due to pattern hair loss. Using your analogy, we can still maximize what you have, and increase it, with the proper strategy. I hope this helps you.
Hey doctor, for how long does a follicle remain dormant and capable of regrowth after a person starts experiencing hair fall ?
Hi Aditya M,
Generally speaking, a hair follicle that hasn't grown hair for less than 5 years may be dormant, and may still grow hair if stimulated. A hair follicle that hasn't grown hair for 5 years or more is likely dead. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD so if one's hair has just started falling out over a year ago, and they've started treatment, it's likely that most , if not all of their hair will recover ?
Hi@@caesarsblues,
The term hair fall can be confusing because pattern hair loss is hair thinning, and hair shedding which is more closely related to "falling" is normal, and the hair grows back. It hasn't been determined yet if you have thinning hair, or hair shedding. Shed hair grows back without treatment, but pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back thinner, and/or there is a delay in regrowth. If a hair follicle is still viable, and hasn't grown hair for less than 5 years, then growth can be stimulated with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD i basically mean hair falling out in excess after an event like an illness or a nutritional deficiency. Does that hair grow back with or without treatment?
Hi@@caesarsblues,
Shed hair after an illness or severe stress does grow back without treatment for the scalp, but existing treatments like chemotherapy need to be completed before hair grows back. Nutritional deficiencies do not cause hair to shed, but malnutrition may cause hair to brittle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor
I’m glad I have you here! I’m 24 years old and I seen my hair thinning and falling. It been a year I lost money in stock market and that leaves me in stressed but now I’m losing hair by brushing my hair and that puts me in more stress. Any advice? If I can have your clinic address I would Appreciate you!
Hi Haroon Surkhabi,
Sorry to hear about your problems. While more than normal hair shedding can be caused by severe stress, it is usually a temporary condition, so shed hair does grow back without medical treatment as the stress resolves. However, hair thinning is most often caused by genetic pattern hair loss, which can occur at the same time telogen effluvium (stress-related hair shedding). An examination is needed to determine if you also have genetic pattern hair loss.

Great video, Doctor. Thanks for the information. I'm 28 years old and only noticed I was beginning to lose my hair when I was around 25. Strangely the norwood scale does not fit my balding. I am a 4 on the scale from the front but the back and top of my hair is not thinning at all and has always been very thick. Have you seen this before? I am now taking oral Finasteride and topical Minoxidil to halt the balding and hopefully thicken up the frontal area. Thank you in advance for any reply :) Tom
Hi @Tommy3AM,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Male pattern hair loss can initially concentrate at the crown, and hairline, with less noticeable thinning in the mid scalp. There can be different patterns of thinning in men, and it is possible that there less aggressive thinning happening in the mid scalp as well, which can be confirmed with a scalp microscopy.
Finasteride is primarily for slowing hair thinning; and minoxidil is doesn't treat hair thinning at all, as it appears to delay natural hair shedding for the appearance of fullness. You can refer to these videos on how we've helped men who were already on finasteride get thicker hair, and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need to use minoxidil after our treatment:
czcams.com/video/4YowPNRsv6I/video.html
czcams.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/video.html
Hi Doctor, would it be better than to get your treatment earlier in the hair loss progression? Inventory on my head is still not horrible but it's getting worse each week. I'll be 28 in January and I don't know if being about middle of Norwood scale (front thin, gone on temples, crown seems fine) qualifies me for your treatment.
Hi RPF Creates,
Yes, you will get better results from the Hair Regeneration treatment if you come in early. As you have a relatively young onset of pattern hair loss, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive so you can also benefit from a DHT blocker to slow hair thinning, and a treatment like Hair Regeneration to thicken thinning hair and stimulate hair growth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi! Very informative video doctor! I’ve read somewhere online and been told by a similar clinic to yours here in sweden that hair follicules aren’t dead, they’re still active but rather not producing any hair anymore. Hence the term ”dormant” comes in to place. I struggle to find real answers to this online but i cant come to a conclusion. What are your thaughts on this?
Hi @fillebubben,
The differences between dormant and dead hair follicles are already discussed in this video, so I'm not sure what you mean. Generally, dormant hair follicles have not grown hair for less than 5 years, and can be treated to grow hair again, as we do with our treatment. Hair follicles that have not grown hair for more than 5 years are likely dead, and can't be revived. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor, I am male 23 years old and now my baldness level is NW 3-4. I try to use minoxidil 3% + 0.25% triamcinolone + 0.025% tretinoin during 2015-early 2016 and finasteride 1mg every 2 days,but i got weight gain 3 kg in 2 weeks and brain fog. In March 2017,i have been tried 5% minoxidil but i even worse for me that i gain weight more than 6kg in 3 weeks and sclap irritation. Now,i trying to use dermaroller 0.5 mm 2 times/week and 2% ketoconazole shampoo everyday and rosemary oil with dermaroller. After i use it,the hair shedding is decline maybe around 10-20 perday. But no sign for thicker hair in my crown and vertex area.
Hi Jhanna Rezqi,
Sorry to hear that, but none of the treatments you mentioned will thicken your hair. You need to take finasteride daily for it to work properly, but it doesn't thicken hair much, and is more to slow hair thinning. Minoxidil doesn't thicken hair, but it keeps your thinning hair on your head longer. Look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video if you are interested in thickening thinning hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. i
Amazing, doctor! Your explanations are so good and understandable. I am a young physician and your videos are very helpful to me! Thanks a lot!
I'm glad you find the videos helpful, Delia Rozzi! Good luck with your career!
Thank you very much doctor! I will be resident soon and I am very interested in hair loss. Every time I have a free time, I am trying to read publications or watch more about it.

I am having hairfall since last 2 months i still have plenty of my hair and it is not so noticable i see my new small hair growing at my front part of the scalp im 18 and my 90% of the fallen hair have same thickness....pls help me find my problem
Hi DOTmv,
An examination is needed to determine if you have actual hair loss, or just hair shedding. Pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning over time, not just in two months. You can refer to these videos about why hair shedding is not hair loss, and how we diagnose and treat male, and female pattern hair loss:

Hi Noura Taha ,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Damage from chemical use in the scalp does need to be examined closely before treatment as it can permanently damage hair follicles, as well as testing for possible concurrent pattern hair loss through scalp biopsies. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thank u doctor so much

Hi@@sunilkumarchoudhary4009,

Hello doctor. I have mitral valve prolapse with moderate regurgitation. I've been prescribed with beta blockers and Ramipril. Will using Minoxidil have any interaction with these medications or my heart condition in general. Minoxidil is a vasodilator so should it be okay to use it with my condition?
Hi Aaa Aaa,
This is best discussed with your doctor who knows all the details about your condition as minoxidil is a blood thinner. Ask your doctor specifically about minoxidil and the interactions with the drugs they prescribed. Minoxidil is over the counter, but there may specific warnings with your other medications that are best reviewed by a cardiologist. I hope this helps you.
I'm a 25 female. I've been losing hair since I was 14 years old, and my hair is so thin and my scalp is very noticeable. And my hair is 3A curly. Do you think you can give me advice Dr???
Hi @evelynfeliciano5924,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would have to properly diagnose the cause of your hair thinning before I can recommend treatment, so my advice is to have it properly diagnosed. You can refer to to these more recent videos on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss; and the different causes of hair thinning in women:
czcams.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/video.html
czcams.com/video/rGCPm2tR9bc/video.html
What about minoxidil can't we use that for life time does it help
Hi Nikhil Sharma,
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. You can watch this video for more details about the limited effects of minoxidil - czcams.com/video/sv82XSpQfnI/video.html
Dear Dr Prasad,
The patient at 2:57, why has he responded so well. He did have significant hair loss..
Thanks
Hi Happy Life,
People do respond differently to the Hair Regeneration treatment. That particular patient was able to thicken his thinning hair, get significantly faster hair growth, and was able to to get growth from dormant hair follicles that were previously not growing. Although patients normally experience these benefits, the rate of growth and thickening can differ. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Thanks Dr Prasad. He is lucky to have responded so quickly!
I am just confused , the roots of hair is still present in thier right . Then why can't they grow them .
Hi Rèd,
As explained in the video and its title, dormant hair follicles that are not growing hair, but still viable can be stimulated to grow hair again. If dead hair follicles could be revived, all bald people could grow hair again, but that's not physically possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD yep this clears my doubt
Hello sir
I am only 17 and my hair line is gradually declining my front hairs are not growing big and it remains very smaller than my other hairs.Plz guide me what should I do
Hi ThE sLaYeRs,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis for male pattern hair loss, so if you can't see us, I suggest you see a local doctor. If you do have male pattern hair loss at your age, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, but the problem is that I don't prescribe DHT-blockers like finasteride for men until they are at least 18, as DHT is still important for male physical development. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hello doctor i suffered from seboherric dermatitis 3-4yr from last yr ihave sevre hairfall due to intense itching, burning and flaking now my sebohertic dermatitis is in control and no more hairfall what can i do for hair regrowth ??
Hi @s7fe242,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Hair shedding due to inflammation and itchiness from seborrheic dermatitis should grow back after the condition is treated. It's not clear if you have other concurrent causes of hair loss such as hair thinning due to genetic pattern hair loss, so I can't recommend medical intervention without a physical examination to diagnose another cause of hair loss. I hope this helps you.
I have been suffering from diffuse hair loss for 5 years. Now, my scalp can easily be seen from the top. Should i go for hair transplant??
Hi Sidhartha Barman,
I don't advise hair transplants for diffuse hair thinning as you still have viable hair follicles, even if they are growing thinning hair. A transplant too close to native hair can permanently damage those follicles, which transplant surgeons justify because they are thinning anyway, but we can thicken and save thinning hair with our treatment. Also, thinning native hairs are more numerous than even multiple transplants can achieve, so thickening hair non-surgically can get your more scalp coverage than a transplant. You can refer to these more recent videos about how transplantation can cause more hair loss, and our non-surgical hair transplant alternative:

What is difference between dormant and dead folicle in case of female hair loss
Hi Female's Fabula,
If hair has not grown in an area of scalp for less than 5 years, the hair follicle may be dormant, and can still grow hair if stimulated for growth. If a hair follicle hasn’t grown hair for more than 5 years, than the follicle is likely dead, and can no longer grow hair, even with treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I'm 23 old female. When I'm 18 I had some minor hair fall issues and went to a dermatologist and she suggested minoxidil for a year without giving proper knowledge. And I'm unaware of it (it is said that it must be used for life long and I don't know about all such things) I blindly trusted her and used it. After discontinuing it I had severe hair loss and im going bald wherever I used it(other areas are healthy). I'm really stressed and getting suicidal thoughts (being a girl and going bald is not easy and it's painful to receive comments from our society). My last biopsy said that my hair pores have been closed. Can I regrow my hair. R else can I go for hair transplant?
Hi Menaga kanakaraj,
Sorry to hear about your problem. 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. Since minoxidil delays the hair shedding cycle, and prolongs the hair growth cycle, if you stop using it, you will likely have a significant hair shed.
Biopsies can be used to diagnose for female pattern hair loss, but cannot reveal that hair follicles are dead because follicles are underneath the scalp skin, and follicles that are not growing hair can be dormant and still can be stimulated for hair growth. You can refer to these videos on how we can treat female pattern hair loss without minoxidil or spironolactone, why hair transplants are generally not advised for diffuse female pattern hair loss, and the causes and treatments for female pattern hair loss:

Hello Doctor, 19/M I have a question. Should I start using Finasteride if I'm noticing thinning only on the hairline area? I've always heard about the medication but never actually took it because I was afraid of the side effects. Are they bad? Thanks, I'd really appreciate an answer!
Hi Suatt38,
Possibly, but finasteride should only be used after proper examination by a doctor because it's a prescription medication.
The chances of side effects from finasteride are pretty rare at about 2% of users having them. Also, there are more common causes of erectile dysfunction, which also affect men who are not on finasteride, including stress, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, an unhealthy diet, and aging. Often, men on finasteride overlook their lifestyle choices if they encounter problems, but a healthier lifestyle needs to be considered as well. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m 18, due to cornavirus everything was locked up months ago like barbershops etc. my hair was super long and I needed a haircut. But their were no barbers to be found. So I said screw it and went fully bald but at the same time I was insecure about my girlfriend and all my friends and everyone seeing me bald. So I wore a beanie every single day and my hair has gotten to the point where it keeps falling and it’s thinning on the back of my scalp. Did I mess up for wearing beanies every single day for months while my hair was in the process of growing? Cuz now I’m 18 and it looks like I’m going bald already. I don’t know what to do......
Hi Hector Gomez,
Wearing a beanie or any hat will not cause hair thinning or baldness. A proper examination is needed to determine if you have male pattern hair loss, where hair progressively thins due to a genetic scalp sensitivity to the hormone DHT. If you have male pattern hair loss starting in your 20s or younger, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, and need a DHT-blocker like finasteride to control it, and slow hair thinning. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles, but it cannot block DHT-formation. While it is difficult right now, you can see local doctor for a proper diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Im 20 years old right now, my hair on top thinned a little bit but my temples are stil intact.
I buyed saw palmetto because it reduces dht and emo oil to apply on the scalp. It is believed that emo oil due to the fatty acids in it wil get rid of the DHT that already caused my follikels on top to shrink....
It this an option or is there a better way to get rid of the dht that already build up in the scalp
Hi Maher Adil,
Saw palmetto, if it works, is not a reliable DHT-blocker as it is a supplement, and supplements don't have consistent amounts of active ingredients because they are not regulated like drugs. Drugs like finasteride are more reliable DHT-blockers as they have a consistent amount of the drug in each pill. You can refer to these videos about the importance of finasteride in treating male pattern hair loss, the limits of finasteride alone as a hair loss treatment, and how we can go beyond just finasteride alone in thickening thinning hair and stimulating hair growth from dormant hair follicles:

Is there a clinic in Colorado that perform TrichoStem procedures?
Hi Beda Tomaszewski,
We don't currently offer the treatment in Colorado, but we do have many patients coming to New York or Virginia from around the country and around the world every day for the 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 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. I hope this clarifies things for you.
sir i am 17 year old boy ,i am obese patient, my hair are very damage, got brown shaded and also started graying, and my hairs are thinning and falling from frontel and top sides, i am sad help me..😥😩😫🙏🙏
Hi Bwp Bwp,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but it's unclear if you are suffering from pattern hair loss, which is gradual hair thinning, or hair shedding where hair falls out due to an unspecified condition, but does grow back. I suggest you see a doctor first for a proper physical exam of your scalp to determine what you have exactly before considering treatment. I hope this helps you.
I had a bald patch in the past and it regret after a few months. I got one last year and it’s still not growing back, and I’m kinda worried
Hi chicken isindeedmystyle,
It's important to have the cause of your bald spot properly diagnosed with a physical examination. An isolated bald spot is not usually associated with pattern hair loss. I hope this helps you.
This was very informative. Are you familiar with lichenplano Pilaris? Can hair regrow with this condition?
Hi Charmayne M,
It is possible to regrow hair after lichen planopilaris. Treatment usually consists of corticosteroids, and antimalarial medication. You can see a local dermatologist about treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello doctor, am 29 years from tanzania 🇹🇿...please can I get help from my hair loss
Hi Albinus Jacob,
We can help you with your hair loss, but treatment would have to be done in one of our offices in the US. You can have your initial consultation online, with the consultation fee applied to the cost of 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.
Doctor, do you have a branch in Indian? I real wanna get an appointment with you and start the treatment.
Please give me a positive response 🙏
Hi Manish Prabhakaran,
We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment (under normal travel circumstances). 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 (again, under normal travel circumstances), 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.
It's androgenic not androgenetic alopecia @2:26
Hi Martin Levkovski,
Pattern hair loss can be described as both androgenic, and androgenetic alopecia, hence all terms are listed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I wish to seek support from you for hair loss.
I am based in UAE.
I expect an online consultation and advice.
Hi Bibin Babu,
Thanks for your interest. 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 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. 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.
Hey. So I’m currently 16, for a while now a lot of my hair has been falling off when I take a shower or dry my hair (for 7 months). I never payed attention to it, until now. Ever since 5 days ago, the back of my head has been feeling really uncomfortable when I lay down. When I pulled out a mirror a noticed that combing the back of my hair there was multiple gaps. And there was one area in particular that didn’t have much hair. I’m very worried, I’ve tried looking at CZcams videos for the past 5 days worrying. I’m not a stressful person but thinking about losing my hair makes me stressed out. I stoped washing aggressively, started eating more nuts, fruits, eggs, avocado etc. Idk what’s wrong I’m really worried. What can I do? Or if I’m doing anything right, when can I start seeing results? Since I still see so much hair falling from my head when I take a shower.
Hi Kenneth Videos901,
Male pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. 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. The cause of hair shedding needs to be diagnosed by an experienced doctor in a scalp examination. The most common cause of temporary hair shedding is severe stress, which is called telogen effluvium, but this usually doesn't require medication for the shed hair to eventually grow back. If you can't see us for an examination, I suggest you see a local doctor in your area. I hope this helps you.
Bro any progress in 8 moths gone same happing with me i am worried
I was recently diagnosed with lichen planopilaris. I’m aware that scarred follicles will no longer produce hair. Buy can the thinning follicles that remain become thicker after treating the inflammation?
Hi Darrian Watson,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Follicles that are thinning due to pattern hair loss can be treated so they grow thicker, but the progression of scarring on your scalp is unpredictable, so it's not clear how long the results will last until progressive scarring affects it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Could you suggest some country/countries in Europe which specialize in that area, so that Europeans could also receive adequate treatment like yours?
Hi kartofobelachka,
I don't believe any similar treatments are available in Europe, as we do have many patients from across the continent coming to the US for treatment (under normal travel conditions). 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.
I was told my hair folicles are permanent dead is there another option to revive my hair so devastated
Hi Rof Rangululu,
I would like to know how the assessment was made. Follicles that have not grown hair for 5 years or more are likely dead, and no treatment can revive them. However, if it's under 5 years, they may dormant, and growth can still be stimulated as shown in the video. I hope this helps you.
Hi, I believe i have had diffuse thinning for the past ten years, I still have smallish hair follicles all over my scalp, with the exception of the back of my head, and some of the receded hairline in front, my question to you is, would the prp treatment bring my hair follicles that you CAN see back to at least a thick looking way despite the amount of time that has passed?
Hi Michael Veras,
It does sound like pattern hair loss with a slower progression. We can thicken thinning hair, but I don't use PRP alone. I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older TrichoStem™Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity as TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is not a DHT-blocker. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely. Some TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients with advanced hair loss get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first which we call the booster, but this is already included in the cost of the treatment plan, so you don’t pay extra for it. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely, or be weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. You can refer to these videos about the differences between TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration from PRP alone:

How would I know if my hair follicles are dead?
Hi Sonam Diki,
There is no way to tell by examining the scalp as follicles are below the skin. However, if hair has not grown for less than 5 years, the follicles may be dormant, and can still be stimulated for hair growth. If hair has not grown in area that is smooth bald for over 5 years, the follicle is likely dead. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I have been used to face depression and stress for past three years and I am 18 year old teen now . My hairs started shedding at my age 16 on my temple
Now my crown head is visible and only 55% hair left on my crown head. I have losted my hair volume and i think my shedded hair follicles are closed . Is there any solution to get my dead hair follicles back. My father have still a dense volume and myself going worse.
Plz give me hope
Hi Cheran Karthik,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need this physically examined properly to determine the cause of your hair loss. Male pattern hair loss is hair thinning, not shedding, and it doesn't normally start at 16. Also, temporary shedding due to stress doesn't normally last 2 years, and shed hair doesn't mean your follicles are dead as the hair does grow back. You need a proper examination to diagnose this, so I suggest you see a local doctor as I can't give you a diagnosis based on your description alone. I hope this helps you.
If my hair density is genetically low ,is it possible to get dense hair by using hair growth products n proper care????
Hi Amrita Chatterjee,
It depends on whether or not your hair was once thick, or is genetically thin. If it became thin due to progressive pattern hair loss, it can be treated so hair is thicker, which needs to be done with medical treatment and not over-the-counter products. However, if it was never thick to begin with, then treatment can't change the characteristics of your hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@_aryannegi,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You do need a proper diagnosis about the cause of your hair loss first. However, if you are confirmed to have male pattern hair loss, you cannot get the density you had when you were younger. Male pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it's managed, not cured. We can get you the maximum coverage, and for as long as your genetics would allow, but it can't be cured. 14 is very young age to start onset of hair loss, so a physical examination by an experienced doctor is needed. I hope this helps you.
I sir can you please help me i was suffering hairfall from the age of 16 or 17 i guess now I’m 19 years old and my hairfall getting worst also my hair is not regrowing after they fall can i use minoxidil for my hair follicle because i have seen my hair follicle its very unhealthy I guess compare to my friends
Hi NM K,
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. Since minoxidil delays the hair shedding cycle, and prolongs the hair growth cycle, if you stop using it, you will likely have a significant hair shed.
Finasteride is more beneficial than minoxidil as it can slow down and stabilize hair thinning, and it can be used long-term more predictably. If you have male pattern hair loss starting in your 20s or younger, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, so you need a DHT-blocker like finasteride. DHT-blockers like finasteride are prescription medications, so you need to see a doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis, then be issued a prescription for finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I got a boil on my head (march) and it was severe. After it healed, it left me with a bald spot, my confidence and self-esteem went downhill. It's been two months and there's still no sign of hair growth. Do you think it's still possible to regrow it?
Hi rain drops,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you have a dermatologist properly examine your scalp. Microscopy which is often used in the scalp when diagnosing hair loss may be able to determine if you have some hair growth you're not yet seeing with the naked eye. I hope this helps you.
if any one has zero hair and have no hair follicle on his head does he would get lots of hair like a hero in movies without surgery but with medicine of doctors please give me answer
Hi Luffy Monkey,
If someone has too many dead hair follicles, even surgery won't achieve the type of density you are asking about, because there aren't enough available grafts to cover the whole head, and grafted hair cannot be spaced as close together as natural hair. So, to answer your question, the only way to achieve that type of scalp coverage is with a hairpiece or wig. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello, sir
Thank you for the video. Great explanation.
I don't know whether you will see this comment or not. But I have Alopecia Universalis because of Autoimmune Disorder. For the last 6 years my total body hair loss has been in fast pace. Even nose hair is gone. So my question is: Does immune system kill my hair follicles totally or can they grow back sometime later. Thank you in advance.
Hi 555utubefan,
Sorry to hear about your problem. There is a wide range of variability in alopecia universalis, as well as autoimmune disorders. In some cases, there can be hair regrowth when the autoimmune process becomes inactive, and in other cases the hair follicles are damaged beyond salvageability. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I have baby hair in front hairline but those hair are not growing complete so can these hair will be grow by PRP treatment
Whats the reason of these baby hair are not fully matured
Hi Change Is must,
If your baby hair wasn't thick before, injection treatments cannot make it thicker than it ever was naturally. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is for thickening hair that progressively became thinner due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Why do I have hair on the palms of my hands, but not on my head? Nice hair Doc.
Hi sailingmylifeaway,
Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT which is primarily responsible for male pattern hair loss, has an inverse effect on body hair, where it makes it grow. So there is no direct correlation between hair growth and scalp pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey doctor can you tell me what to do because I have thin hair and when I get out of the shower I looked kind of bald and everyone in my family has thick hair I'm the only one with thin hair pls can you tell me what to do to get thick hair thankyou
Hi Chrisplayz HD,
It's not clear if you are still a teenager with genetically fine hair, or if you are older with your hair progressively thinning, so I can't assume the cause of your thin hair.
I'm 19 year old I loss some hair in sides but My hair follicles are not dead because some hair growing and going back
Hi Umesh Varma,
It's important to differentiate hair shedding from pattern hair loss, because the cause of your "hair loss" is not clear. Pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. 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 clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sir. I have baby hairs how to grow my hair sir🙏 and my body hair also growing fast
Hi@@varma8682,
Scalp hair growth is not related to rate of body hair growth. Also, it's not clear if your "baby hairs" were once thick in the past, and has since miniaturized with pattern hair loss. A proper evaluation of your scalp is needed. If you can't come see us for a proper evaluation, I suggest you see a local doctor for a proper diagnosis of the cause of your hair loss, before you consider treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello sir, I have 2 bald spots due to me having the tendency to pull my hair out for my own satisfaction that’s located in the front of my hair, when I was 7, I pulled those 2 big patches out my hair, and ever since that day, my hair has not grown as I’m now 16 and I’m not seeing any signs of hair growth, I’m most definitely sure my hair follicles are dead, and I’ve been very insecure about it, is there anything you could recommend to regain hair in these spots, it would mean the world 🙏🏽.
Hi CompaJavi,
Sorry to hear that, but constant hair plucking can permanently damage hair follicles. At your age, there isn't much that can be done but wait to see if they follicles are still viable and can grow. We normally try to stimulate hair growth with our treatment featured in the video, but it's primarily for pattern hair loss. We do occasionally treat people with damaged hair follicles, but it's on a case-by-case basis, and they just have to wait and see after treatment if at least some of the damaged hair follicles are still viable. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doctor. I'm getting cortisone shots in my scalp I am on my fourth shot and I get them every six weeks. Can I still wear a wig in between time I honestly think wearing braids and wigs have damage my hairline.
Hi Qusheida Fields,
It depends on the wig, but if you do wear one, a loose fitting wig is less likely to affect your condition. I suggest you ask your doctor performing your treatment about it as they know more about your scalp condition, and the wig you prefer to use. I hope this helps you.
How would one know if a follicle is dormant ?
Hi Aditya M,
You can't really tell by looking at the scalp, but basically if an area of scalp has not grown any hair for over 5 years, the follicle is likely dead; but if it's been less than 5 years, the follicle may be dormant and still be viable. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what if one has thinning hair, does that mean the follicles are dormant but still alive ?
Hi@@caesarsblues,
Thinning hair means the hair follicle is still active and viable. A dormant follicle is inactive, but still viable. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you. So it's possible with someone who has thinning hair to grow hair like they had before , with medication?
Hi@@caesarsblues,
Yes, it is possible to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles current not growing with the Hair Regeneration treatment, as shown in the video. You may not restore the scalp coverage you had before suffering from pattern hair loss, but you can significant improvement in hair thickness and new hair growth. It's important to remember that pattern hair loss is hardwired into the DNA, so it can't be cured, but it can be managed so you get as much scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I have scarring in my scalp from haircuts my hair won’t grow in the top of my head

Hlo sir, i done rough combing in hair , can rough combing damage hair follicles
How i can know my follicles are safe and not damage
Hi @viralwood374,
Combing your hair, even if it's occasionally rough, won't damage your hair follicles. However, you should not be putting constant strain on your follicles by repeatedly pulling on tangled hair with a comb. If you have hair that tends to tangle, I suggest you use detangling comb, which has wide or rotating bristles to detangle your hair before styling. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Kryptonian7,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The cause of your hair loss does need to be diagnosed before treatment is recommended, but most cases of hair loss are pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat male pattern hair loss, the factors of genetic pattern hair loss in men, and how we treat pattern hair loss in people of African descent (I clicked on your username):

Hi doctor, im a 24 year old male and ive been noticing a difference in my hairline.
The corners at the top of my hairline have moved back a little bit but when i look closely i can see that there are still a bunch of dark colored hairs but they do not grow past their very short length. Would these be considered dormant ? And if so what is the probability that i can get them to grow the way they used to a few years ago ? And how would i go about it.
I live in canada and im not sure who to go to for advice on this.
Hi Detox LIVE,
It does sound like your hair is thinning, which is a likely sign of male pattern hair loss. Dormant hairs still have viable hair follicles, but are not growing currently. We can help you with thickening thinning hair, but you are also likely DHT-sensitive, so you need a DHT-blocker like finasteride to slow hair thinning. You can see a local dermatologist about a finasteride prescription, but you will need to come to us in New York to thicken your thinning hair. We have patients coming from all over the world for this treatment every day, so it's relatively easier to come from Canada for the treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Can I have the clinic address please?

My hair is not growing it's been years. Early I have long hair i cut it too short but it's been years my hair stopped growing. Bald patches also. No hair growth for years. Premature grey also that means my hair follicles dead
My problem is no hair growth. My hair is not growing. It's like dead hair. Very dry premature grey bald patches and severe hair fall🙄please reply
Hi @anokhi223,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Genetic pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not bald patches, or a complete stoppage of hair growth. I suggest you see a local dermatologist to examine your scalp to diagnose the cause of your hair loss, which may be due to an autoimmune disorder. You can refer to this video about different types of alopecia - czcams.com/video/17pXuj82eQA/video.html
Sir I have had trichotillomania for around 10 years. I used to pull most of my hairs from left temple region of the scalp. Hair density there is now very sparse.I have stopped pulling my hairs over almost 2 years now. But hairs not growing back in that area. Is there anything I can do to get my lost precious hairs back.
Hi Bhawna Dahiya,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Trichotillomania over a long period of time can cause permanent damage to hair follicles from the constant trauma of pulling and tension. A physical examination is needed to determine what can be done for you as the extent of damage needs to be assessed before I can recommend any treatment for you. I hope this helps you.
When you said we can't bring back dead hair follicles I gladly accepted that I'm bald I should embrace it
Hi Mediac Hedon,
It's good you are embracing it, but as explained in the video, dormant hair follicles which have not grown hair in less than 5 years can be still be stimulated for hair growth. Hair follicles that have not grown hair for more than 5 years are likely dead. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr, My wife had to undergo a neuro surgery for removal of brain tumor, post surgery there is a scare on her head where there is no hair growth. It is now a year and half past the surgery, is it safe to go for hair transplant and will it be successful, the scar is almost 3 inches. All doctors whom we have consulted have said there is no non surgical method to grow hair on the scar. Pls advise
Hi Nikesh Majithia,
While hair can be transplanted to a scar, for past neurosurgery patients, I suggest you consult your wife's neurosurgeon. Hair transplantation into neurosurgery scars can potentially cause fluid collection in the transplant areas, so there has to be close coordination with the neurosurgeon, and transplant surgeon before recommending a hair transplant. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you so much for the prompt response Dr Prasad
I've had a injury 5 years ago and I still have a bald patch how can I fix it it happened when I was 9
Hi Ares Lumi?
I would have to see the area affected before making recommendations, but if you are only 14 now, you are very young for a cosmetic treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello doctor I’m not sure if your still answering questions
But I have trichotillomania and I have recently stopped pulling however there’s a spot on my head that is damaged and it hasn’t grown back for years
Anything I can do
Hi Elijah Tanner,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Long-term trichotillomania may have permanently damaged the hair follicles from constant tension and pulling. Generally, if hair has not grown in a specific area for more than 5 years, the hair follicles are likely dead. If the hair follicles are already dead, then the only option is hair transplantation. If it has been less than 5 years, there is a chance the hair follicles are still viable. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I need help. I'm 15 and I have really thick brown hair and no male pattern baldness in my family but since lately i've noticed some dandruff in my hairline and i had to scratch that spot and i made a wound on that spot. In the middle of my hairline i've had a pimple and i also scratched it and now my hairline looks uneven. My question is how long until that hair grows back and what can i do to make that hair grow faster?
Hi Lukoil 49,
It is best to have your dandruff problem treated, and try not to traumatize your scalp so much that hair growth is affected. Hair follicles go in a resting phase at different times, so it's hard to say how long it will take your hair to grow back. I hope this helps you.
Pls reply I don't have any problem of receeding hairline and i have used 1.5 mm for 2-3 mins so there is scarring so i m literally very scared that i have damaged my hair follicle
Hi Ayush Jain,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I generally don't recommend dermarolling because it's not an effective hair loss treatment, and people doing it at home are not trained to microneedle properly, or give enough time between sessions for healing. If you are worried about it, I suggest you stop doing it. You can refer to these videos about why microneedling is not effective as a hair loss treatment, and how the treatment is often overdone:

My hair is becoming thin now my hair is not growing now and i have continuous hair fall i have split end hairs did my hair follicles die? Please reply
Hi Sandra Ann,
Sorry to hear that, but your hair follicles may not have died yet as it does take time with progressive pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

My barber shaved off the left part of my hairline 2 years ago and it wont regrow back. My left side of my hairline is still crooked. Are my hair follicles dead? Can they regrow back if i use monoxidil and start derma rolling (micro needling)? What can i do to fix my crooked hairline? Thanks doctor!
Hi Tyrone Biggums,
I would have to examine your hairline up close before recommending anything because shaving shouldn't cause hair to not grow back. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thanks
You're welcome,@@tyronebiggums8763
Hi Doctor, I m suffering from Pcos and thyroid from last 10 years . Facing hair thinining from last 9 years it’s like my scalp is visible and I have tried minoxidil for 3 months four years ago which worsen my condo so I stopped using it. Do we have any way to check if any poosibality of re growth.
Hi Ashu M ,
If you haven't already, you should try to have your hormone levels stabilized first to see if hair growth improves. Other treatments like TrichoStem Hair Regeneration for regrowth can be considered if you have hormone levels stabilized first, then have an examination for possible female pattern hair loss. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - czcams.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/video.html
Hi doctor Ive had horrible dandruff since childhood. For the past 5 years ive been scratching flakes off and it caused bleeding scalp. However, my dandruff situation has improved and i have very few flakes Although, I have now thinning hair as a result. Can my hair follicles come back?
Hi jossmita pillai,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It's not clear if you have concurrent hair thinning due to pattern hair loss, or if it's due to follicle damage from aggressive scratching. An examination of your scalp is needed for a proper diagnosis. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local dermatologist for an examination. I hope this helps you.
wre to consult you doctor!??

Hello Dr. Is there any affiliate clinic here in Brazil which would offer me your treatments? Thanks
Hi Jean Baro,
We don't have affiliated clinics, but we do have patients from Brazil coming to the US 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 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.
i see some thinning on my hair courtesy of hard brush on some paRTS OF MY HAIR...PLS CAN IT BE RESOLVED.. I've been applying castor oil and coconut oil...the hair is slow in growth and sometimes falls off
Hi Log&trans world,
Pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning, which is a genetic condition, and it cannot be caused by a hard hairbrush. Hair shedding is normal, and hair grows back after shedding. Pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and/or there is a delay in regrowth. A proper examination is needed to confirm if you have pattern hair loss, before treatment is recommended. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’ve had a bald spot for 10 years on my hairline for 10 years is a transplant my only option?
Hi Larry Mclawler,
I would need to examine your hairline before determining that a hair transplant is the only option for you, especially if there is still thinning hair present that are not so visible. While this is an older video, it shows we have treated receded hairlines successfully without surgery - czcams.com/video/iCWVYLPumZo/video.html
Managing hair loss is completely ridiculous when you are as bald as me (and only 29 years old)
Hi Jonathan Tricoli,
Sorry to hear that. If you have male pattern hair loss starting in your 20s or younger, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, and need a DHT-blocker like finasteride to control it, and slow hair thinning. Not sure if you have used a DHT-blocker previously.
Hello Doc,
I have a patchy beard but i can see a lot of small dormant hair follicle through lens and some other follicle has a little and very thin hair of skin color, what should we do to rejuvenate the dormant facial follicle ?
Hi Shivam Baghel,
Sorry, but this video and my hair restoration practice in general is focused on treating pattern hair loss of the scalp, so I don't do treatments for beard growth.
How to improve damaged hair follicles and how much time it will take to improve. pls... Ans
Hi Music world,
There can be different causes of damage, and extent of damage, so there isn't one answer that applies to everyone. An examination is needed to discuss the type of damage done previously, as well as determine if you have other causes of hair loss. I hope this helps you.
Sir i am suffering from hair fall after hair smoothening last one year but it has been reduced. But still around 20-25 hairs falling out from the root. Now My hair is growing also. Bcz i am using natural remedies like alovera, fermented rice water. How to stop hair fall permanentely without any tretment. I have seen doctors, but no improvement.
Hi varsha murukan,
You haven't been confirmed to have pattern hair loss, and shed hair doesn't mean the roots come out. Male pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. 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. If you have pattern hair loss, it is genetic, and hardwired into your DNA, so it can't be cured, but with medical treatment it can be managed so you can thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth so you have as much hair as possible, for as long as possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I m 26 year old female. I am losing almost 100p strands daily no hair growth. I am using mintop 5% please help me. I have hyperthyroidism but m on medication for more dan 1 yr for it. Can PRP or mesotherapy help me???
Hi Aditi Srivastava,
Have you seen a doctor about pattern hair loss? It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Female pattern hair loss is about hair thinning. Also, 5% minoxidil is not usually prescribed for women. I don't perform PRP alone for hair loss, and mesotherapy is not practiced in the US. You can watch this video about the diagnosis and treatment for female pattern hair loss for more information - czcams.com/video/aTb_Evz1jIM/video.html
I live in Ghana. How can you help me?
Hi Henry Arko,
I can only perform treatment in our offices in the US. I can help you with videos I've made about treating pattern hair loss in people with African textured hair, for your reference:
