I just wanted to thank you for giving us a lot of information and that you take the time to actually answer many of the community´s questions. To all of you: Being a woman and losing a huge part of what is considered our "beauty" is traumatizing. I personally have started wearing lace wigs, but I m limited with these and the constant hiding is tiresome. I became a ninja when someone gets too close to my head, I stopped diving or getting my head wet infront of others all in fear that my wig would be somehow discovered, I don´t let anybody touch my head either.
It´s crippling, so I m sending you all a big hug and wish you fellow hair loss ladies all the best!
Thank you for sharing your story with us, mintberryXoXo. Much appreciated
Omg I feel you 😭😭😭😭 now I’m a super weirdo in front of people!!! Only I know that I’m trying my best to stop them from staring at my 90% bald head
I facing this I lost my confidence at the age of 27 it's so bad
Hi @@RitikaSingh-u1e,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You can refer to this more recent video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - th-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/w-d-xo.html
It’s not the answer many women are looking for, but I prefer 100 times a doctor telling me why it’s not recommended rather them just doing it for the money and me regretting it later
Thank you for the appreciation, @fernandacapaceta. While hair transplants are not advised for diffuse female pattern hair loss, we can actually get better hair density than any transplant, for less cost, by thickening thinning hair non-surgically with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. Unlike hair transplants that can cause hair loss when transplanted too close to native hair follicles, we maximize growth of these follicles, and thickness of these hairs for the advantage of our patients. Thank you again for watching.
Dr Prasad, I need your help.
I'm an 18 year old girl who's been diagnosed with androgentic alopecia with NO early onset family history of it. Not in my mom, dad, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, GREAT grandparents, et cetera, the men obviously experienced hair loss, but not early onset or out of the usual, and they never reached the last Norwood stage. Some of my distant relatives have it.
I'm extremely skeptical and worried. I used to have extremely thick, full hair, and although I STILL have a lot of hair, you can see my scalp through my hair at the front, and my part looks wider, which isn't normal.
I've suffered from EXCESSIVE hair shedding for YEARS and YEARS (since I was about 14). I didn't worry about it because new hairs were growing out. I have grown up with extraordinarily abusive and mentally ill parents and was depressed from the age of 12. I had an eating disorder and would starve myself across years to remain skinny.
I became extremely ill (covid) 6 months ago, my dog died 4 months ago, and a month ago I went under general anesthesia and surgery.
Doesn't it seem more like telogen effluvium?
I cannot bring myself to believe that I have andro"genetic" alopecia, seeing my family history would compel you to believe I have the best genetics for hair. (I have a 65+ year old aunt with waist-long, full hair).
I know you cannot diagnose someone online with anything, but please give me any advice you can as you are a very knowledgeable and educated dermatologist.
Hi Ash Lynx,
Sorry to hear about your problems. It is possible to have telogen effluvium, and concurrent pattern hair loss. Also, 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 family member you’ve never even met.
You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - th-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/w-d-xo.html
Hi doc, I’m 24 and have androgenetic alopecia and pcos, I’ve been suffering from hair loss for 10 years now and nothing would work including minoxidil . Do you think a hair transplant might work for me?
Hi @Ines-bh5hb,
As explained in the video, hair transplants are not recommended for diffuse hair thinning, which is the most common hair thinning pattern in female androgenetic alopecia, because implanting hair grafts will damage nearby native hair follicles, causing more hair loss. I suggest you have your PCOS treated first by your gynecologist as that can help with your hair as well.
You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat androgenetic alopecia in women, and how we can treat successfully without the need for minoxidil, or spironolactone:

What are your thoughts on scalp micropigmentation? Is it safe? Can you still have other treatments such as PRP or a transplant after scalp micropigmentation?
Hi Tracy Short,
I don't perform, or usually recommend scalp micropigmentation. Scalp micropigmentation is limited in only giving the appearance of hair with buzz cuts, so there would be no benefit for a woman who has, or is planning to have a longer hairstyle. You can still have other treatments after scalp micropigmentation, but scalp micropigmentation can look odd if you don't have hair growing in the tattooed areas, while hair grows in surrounding areas. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey! I'm 21 and I'm experiencing hairloss since I was 13. My hemoglobin, thyroid, menstrual cycle all are good. I visit a dermatologist and he said go for a Vitamin D test. And he suggested me minoxidil just on the basis of asking questions and no actual diagnosis. He said if all your symptoms mentioned above are good then it is a case of female pattern baldness. I'm really skeptical on using minoxidil. And it's hard to accept if I actually have FPB. Or if it is chronic telogen effluvium. And I also wanna ask does ferritin has any connection with hairloss? And should I use minoxidil just at 21 age?
Hi Violette Z,
I hope you understand that I can't recommend specific treatments for you without examining your scalp, and diagnosing the cause of your hair loss. Female pattern hair loss is diagnosed by examining for hair thinning, and possibly scalp biopsies if a physical examination may also point to other hair loss causes like PCOS. Lack of ferratin may cause hair loss, but not female pattern hair loss which is caused by genetics. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

Hey i hope you're doing fine now. But i was experiencing extreme hairfall too a while ago. And also note that, my hair are extremely thin. My dermatologist also prescribed me minoxidil and biotin tablets. Idk if they worked or it was natural. But the hairfall which I was suffering from one year, stopped in two months. But after few months my hair started falling again but I think that's normal now. Not as extreme!
I'm 19 years old and I'm suffering from female pattern hair loss. I lost almost 80% of my hair within a year and now my scalp is visible completely including receding hairline. Please suggest something. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have PCOD and thyroid issue too. Both are under control though. I am losing 300-500 hair per day I don't know what to do, I am scared of touching my hair now. I am almost getting bald, Sir. Please suggest something I'm just 19 years old and if this continues I don't know how will I survive.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi@@jeneliahsharma5125,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you need to see an experienced doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis. Female pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning, not aggressive hair shedding where you shed 300-500 hairs a day. I hope you understand that I can't diagnose you without ever seeing your scalp, so I suggest you see a dermatologist or a trichologist in your area as soon as possible. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you 🙏
You're welcome,@@jeneliahsharma5125!
Jeneliah Sharma hey girl I’m 19 and going through the exact same thing I’m a female and have really bad receding hairline and have been shedding like crazy it’s scary
Do you have any locations or suggested colleagues on the West Coast? I see your Trichostem locations are East coast based. Thank you!
Hi Kierstyn Roman,
Sorry, but our treatment is only available on the East Coast. You can refer to these videos about the differences of TrichoStem Hair Regeneration versus other ACell+PRP treatments:
th-cam.com/video/9hZRv2NQ7SM/w-d-xo.html

Hello @AmiyaPrasadMD I had dramatic hairline recession after completing chemotherapy 8 years ago and I noticed that part of my hair did not grow back the same as before. It has actually gotten a little bit more pronounced. Would Trichostem be a good option for me?
Hi @yanyandoc,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would have to diagnose the cause of your hair loss first to confirm it is pattern hair loss. If it is, TrichoStem Hair Regeneration can thicken thinning hair at the hairline, as well as stimulate growth from dormant but still viable hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doc!I'm diagnosed with autoimmune disease so I guess its the caused of my hair loss. Does the treatment like PRP work for a patient with a condition I have? thank youu
Hi johnny channel,
I don't administer PRP alone in my practice for any type of hair loss because of its limited effect on hair. Our Hair Regeneration treatment is a customized formulation for each patient using PRP and extracellular matrix by ACell. It is primarily for male and female pattern hair loss, but we have had some success in treatment autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata. We approach these on a case-by-case basis as it's not as common as pattern hair loss. You can refer to some of our treatment case studies of alopecia areata here: nyhairloss.com/alopecia-areata/
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I have lupus and have mild hair loss in two areas but I live in Texas.
Hi@@Jellybeanproject143,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible that hair loss is lupus-related, as lupus can affect the blood vessels going to the scalp. It's not likely female pattern hair loss which is diffuse thinning throughout the whole scalp, as yours is limited to two specific areas. You can have the cause of the hair loss first diagnosed locally by a dermatologist before considering treatment out of state. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD doctor how do you address hair loss in women in menopause?
Hi@@lightningandthunder2861,
You can refer to this video about how menopause can affect hair, and how it can be treated - th-cam.com/video/7On7DE9QTvo/w-d-xo.html
I have a high hairline and im having a spot on the sidebmaking my hairline worseee and im losing so much hair what procedure should i go for?
Hi liketube3,
You would a proper examination first by an experienced doctor to see what the issue is. Female pattern hair loss is usually hair thinning throughout the scalp, not just the hairline. Most temporary causes of hair shedding don't need treatment. A proper assessment is needed to determine what you have before considering any treatment. I hope this helps you.
Thank you, Sir, for sharing this important information with us. God bless you,
You're welcome, Grae Lamb. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Have a blessed day as well!
I lost 95 percent of my hair permanently from chemo. Is there any known treatments for a case like me?
Hi Sarah Olsen,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Chemotherapy is usually associated with anagen effluvium, where hair stops growing, but does grow back. Permanent hair loss due to chemotherapy is unusual. However, hair can grow back differently after anagen effluvium due to chemotherapy. A physical examination, and more details of your current treatment are needed to determine if your hair loss is truly permanent, and if treatment is needed for your hair growth. I hope this helps you.
Dear my father was also under chemo and he lost most of his hair but you know fortunately it grew back!
Sir, I'm 22 and I'm having female pattern hair loss. I have been using minoxidil 2% solution regularly, for about 3 months. Earlier, I didn't have any side effects due to minoxidil, but now I'm having an itchy scalp. I'm really worried about my partition getting widened eventually. Should I stop minoxidil usage? And what is an alternative to this problem?
Hi ISHITA DAS,
If you are using minoxidil liquid, there is also minoxidil foam that doesn't have propylene glycol that breaks down the skin barrier for better absorption but is also a skin irritant for some users.
After the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video, our patients can stop using minoxidil completely. You can refer to these videos about it:
th-cam.com/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/w-d-xo.html
Hi doc, would a hair transplant be suited for someone with hair loss from tension alopecia (hair extensions) that has never grown back?
Hi the girl in question,
Traction alopecia can cause permanent damage to hair follicles due to tension, so often a hair transplant is the only viable treatment for it. I do have an older video about it, for your reference - th-cam.com/video/qNHjpCb_x_U/w-d-xo.html
Hello dr is this treatment available in South Africa. What can i do to get this treatment.
Hi Patience Goliath,
We don't currently offer the treatment in South Africa, but we do have many patients from around the continent 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.
What can I do if I don't live in the US, but in the EU? Do you work with clinics outside the US? I have defused hair loss for many years now and I don't know what to do. Minoxidil caused hair to grow on my face instead of my head.
Hi Not Saying,
Sorry, but the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can only be done in one of our offices in the US as it's custom formulated for each patient’s gender, age of onset of hair loss, degree of hair loss, medications taken, and the PRP used as the activator is derived from each patient’s own blood. 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.
Hello Dr. It’s been a while that you’ve made this video so I highly doubt if you will even notice my comment but I will ask away since I am in confusion. I am a 29 yo, female , junior Dr. I was diagnosed with alopecia in 2015, now the thing is the dermatologists that I’ve consulted gave me mixed opinion regarding if mine is a chronic telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia. Mind that I didn’t have any scalp biopsy done, only ran full blood count, Iron levels, trichoanalysis with micro camera, 24 hr hair fall count, scalp scrapping and tests for fungus or other organisms. They found nothing, just on these tests and clinical examinations they gave me a diagnosis of telogen effluvium with male pattern baldness( I have diffuse hair loss and not any definitive patches of hair loss or anything). They prescribed me vitamins like biotin+zinc and minoxidil 5%. I’ve been on minoxidil on and off all throughout since 2015 , it shows improvement when I continue throughly and whenever I stopped, hairfall went back to point zero. I’m kind of done with it, with minoxidil. Moreover, I’ve been noticing anxiety and mood swings along with rapid weight gain and I’m pretty sure it’s due to minoxidil usage since I’ve done nothing differently to gain this much weight so quickly.If you’ve read this far with patience, then thank you but my question is, does topical minoxidil cause weight gain in chronic usage? does it causes any cardiovascular suppression or aggravated cardiac event? is it worth it to compromise my cardiac and general wellbeing by using minoxidil topically in the long run? if you answer, I will be immensely grateful.
Hi tarsun Euqah,
I hope you understand that I do limit my comments on pharmaceuticals, and the possible side effects of a drug like minoxidil are listed with package insert, or warning label.
You can refer to these videos on how our female pattern hair loss patients don't need to use minoxidil at all after our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment, as well as video of the lack of side effects from our treatment:

Could this be done on a person who had cancer surgery- no follicles? Thank you
Hi Purplebutterfly,
It depends on the aggressiveness of the cancer treatment, and concurrent issues. Usually, chemotherapy stops the hair growth cycle, which is a condition called anagen effluvium. After chemotherapy, most people report hair regrowth comparable to that prior to chemotherapy. It is also possible that the consistent toxicity of chemotherapy can damage hair follicles, estrogen blocking drugs for breast cancer can affect hair thinness, and concurrent pattern hair loss not related to chemotherapy can become more pronounced during chemotherapy or recovery. We can treat female pattern hair loss without surgery for women who have it, after chemotherapy has been stopped. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Due to a past hairstylist, they unfortunately gave me a minor chemical burn. I now have a pinky nail sized bald spot on the side of my head. As well with hair constantly falling out.
I don’t know what to do, I’m 20 and my confidence has depleted. Any recommendations?
Hi Jade,
Sorry to hear about your problem. While I would have to examine the chemical burn, perhaps with microscope to determine if there are still active hair follicles, a transplant may be needed if the follicles are too severely injured for hair to regrow. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you
I found a doctor in my area who’s going to take a look at the hair follicles and to see if there is any living hair follicles
I had a first degree burn which spread through-out the left side of my head and onto the nape of neck
You're welcome,@@Jade-km6of. I hope it woks out well for you.
Hello sir.. I have been suffering from female pattern baldness from past 10 years. I lost hairs in crown areas. Thyroid is under control. Have used 1 percent minoxidil. But no change till now. So decided to go for pigmentation. Is there any other way to hide crown permanently or is there any way to grow hair in bald areas..?! Thanks for your reply
Hi Monika Sathees,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would need to examine your scalp to determine what's best for you. Minoxidil won't thicken thinning hair, stimulate thick hair growth, 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. Hair transplantation for women is possible in smooth bald areas that are not in close proximity to existing native hair follicles. I don't perform scalp micropigmentation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you so much sir for your valuable reply. Is there any permanent method to hide bald areas medically? Like pigmentation.. ?!? I have heard pigmentation will get removed in 1 year.. so is there any other permanent way to hide baldy places?
Hi@@monikasathees5565,
While we don't perform scalp micropigmentation in our practice, it is basically tattooing, which lasts more than a year. Female pattern hair loss is a genetic condition that is managed, not cured. We can increase and maximize scalp coverage for as much and as long as your genetics will allow, but it can't be reversed completely. You can refer to these videos on how we treat female pattern hair loss:

Dr, Is hair growth based on gene?
I(female) had good thick hairs and now almost getting bald 2 years post gallbladder removal.. I strongly believe my hair baldness has connection to my surgery. What would you suggest?
Hi TM,
Your gallbladder surgery won't cause female pattern hair loss. Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics, so you are born with predisposition to it in your DNA.
Your gallbladder removal will not cause pattern hair loss, but the stress of surgery, or the stress of general anesthesia may cause temporary hair shedding. Shed hair does grow back without medical intervention. Pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back progressively thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. Pattern hair loss can still occur simultaneously with a cause of temporary hair shedding, so an examination is needed to confirm female pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Good to know. I have androgenetic alopecia myself. Genetic hairloss

What if you want to use hair transplant to reduce the size of your forehead ?
Hi Sanya Lenan,
Examples of female hairline lowering transplants are shown in the video. I hope this helps you.
Hi doc! Females with androgenic alopecia are candidates for hair implant ?
Hi Jay BAL,
As explained in the title of the video, it's not recommended for most cases because female pattern hair loss is diffuse thinning, so hairs are close together. The sharp implanter used in surgical transplants can damage nearby hair follicles, causing permanent hair loss. You can watch the video more closely for the details.

Doc i lost most of my front hair due to home violence, is there a way to grow it back?
Hi zahraa Noori,
I'm very sorry to hear about your problem, as no one should go through domestic violence. It's not clear if your hair loss is due to emotional stress, which can cause temporary hair shedding known as telogen effluvium, which does grow back without medical intervention; or if it's due to physical trauma on hair follicles, which can be damaging to hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I have a hair pulling disorder. So some spots have not grown for 5 years. Would this treatment help?
Hi yes yes yo,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Trichotillomania over a long period can permanently damage hair follicles, so the treatment cannot work on permanently damaged hair follicles. Cases like yours are approached on a case-by-case basis, but I advise psychological treatment first as continued hair plucking will reverse any possible positive effects of the injection treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I used Minoxidil for 6 months ,I have some improvement then I stopped ,now I'm having frontal baldness..does restarting Minoxidil is any help??
Hi vyshnavi gantasala,
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. It is common to have significant hair shedding if you stop using minoxidil, and it does take time to regain that hair again, but it can easily shed again if you stop minoxidil, or if the effects of minoxidil wane.
You can refer to these more recent videos about the limitations of minoxidil, and how we treat female pattern hair loss without minoxidil, hair transplants, or spironolactone:

Hey! Can people suffering from trichotillomania get hair transplant?
Hi @fatimashahzad5253,
I advise that people with trichotillomania have the psychological causes of the condition treated first, because if you still have the compulsion to pluck hair after a hair transplant, the results of transplant surgery would be ruined. Hair transplant surgery is a costly operation, and hair grafts are finite since hair follicles don't regenerate, so it would be a lot of wasted time and money if grafts are pulled out due to trichotillomania. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I was suggested Fenestride medicine after hair transplant.. Prp nd dermaroller as well.
So at age 27 do i continue to have Finesteride for next 5yrs?
Hi S Sarkar,
It's not clear if you are male or female, and I don't prescribe finasteride for women.

My dermotologist thinks i have female pattern baldness i would like to try the injections is this avaible in Australia
Hi channi walker,
We don't currently offer the treatment in Australia, but we do have many Australian patients 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.
What about hair that has been thinned by curling iron burns ? What would be a good option to look into?
Hi,
The potential damage to your scalp needs to be examined, as well as the possibility of thinning caused by undiagnosed pattern hair loss before a specific treatment can be recommended. You can refer to this video about how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss - th-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/w-d-xo.html
Hello sir! I would like to have your advise about my hair concerns. I'm diagnosed with FPHL stage I . I'm 18 yrs old . And using 5% minoxidil following with keratoboost . Haven't done LFT or Blood test yet. Basically my hair is thinning in the frontotemporal area and in the parting line . Is there any cure or is it reversible? I'm very frustrated about this 😔
Hi Aheli Poddar,
Sorry, but pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it can’t be completely cured or stopped. However, it can be managed to keep as much hair and scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

Hi@@XAheli,
Sorry, the treatment is only available in our offices in the US, and I only practice medicine in the US. The effects of minoxidil usually wane with time, so it's not likely you can use it for life.

Sir, my front hairline is receding over the years...first from left side and now significantly from right side.. however i still have some very very thin hair over this area.. is PRP an option for me or I need a transplant. I have some hormonal issues associated with PCOD.
Please advise
Hi Divya Singh,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you have your PCOS treated first, and see if there is any improvement. If you have a hair transplant done close to native thinning hair, you risk losing those hair follicles permanently.
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. Using this treatment can thicken your thinning hair, which is more densely packed in your scalp than even multiple hair transplants can achieve. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD

Hi@@DivyaSingh-bp5lu,
Yes, the treatment is not available in India, but you can have your PCOS treated in India. If you do need a treatment like this after your diagnosis and management of your PCOS, you will have to travel for it. 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.
Hello dr. Amiya
I have a question
I have alopecia androgen, diffuse hair loss and i'm a hijabi woman
Does the hijab make hair loss worse?
is hair transplant or hair stemcell right for hijab women?
Thank you for the information dr.Amiya.
Hi P Mel,
A hijab does not make hair loss worse, as long as it's not tight and pulling on hair strands.
A hair transplant is not advised for diffuse hair loss, as explained in the video, but it can be treated non-surgically by thickening thinning hair, as shown by my patients in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.

They are two different treatments, using different ingredients, and treatment protocols.

I have your same problem. I did take finasteride 0.5mg (propecia) for years. The hair stopped falling as much and I was really happy with the results. The only problem is that when I stopped taking it, I'd eventually begin losing hair again. My doctor also told me finasteride could be dangerous in case of pregnancy. I don't plan on having children and I wasn't sexually active so that wasn't a problem for me, but it is important to know.
I am currently in search of a long term solution but finasteride did seem to help a lot in my case.

Hi @brishtisi6841,

Hi@@brishtisi6841,
Hair transplantation is a major surgery that should be considered carefully. Hair transplantation does not match the density of natural hair growth, and transplanting in between existing hair follicles can damage those follicles, causing permanent hair loss. You will get better hair density from your native hair, than from a transplant, which is why it's important to treat your condition first before considering hair transplant surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi 129. Sree Hari S.N ,
Sorry to hear about your mother's problem. A hair transplant will not treat progressive hair loss as the cause of your mother's hair loss isn't treated by a hair transplant. Also, as explained in the video, diffuse hair thinning in female pattern hair loss means that hair grafts are placed close to native hair, so implanting these grafts can damage existing hair follicles, and cause more permanent hair loss.

It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, but this is not hair loss since shed hair grows back. The effects of PCOS on hair is usually hair thinning.

Hi doc! I have alopecia areata that turned to alopecia universalis and at the moment I’ve been suffering hair loss from my entire head and eyebrows for over 13 years. Would it be at all helpful for me to get a full head transplant? Is it going to stay in my head for a least some time? So it can be redone after a while? My head is mostly bald but is covered with white “baby” peach hairs.
Hi Aleksandra Wielka,
Sorry to hear about your problem. A hair transplant is not recommended for your condition for a couple of main reasons:
1) You will lack donor hair to transplant if you are affected by alopecia universalis
2) Even if you have some donor hair to transplant, transplanted hair follicles can still be attacked by the same autoimmune condition you have, so even the transplanted hair can be lost.
I suggest you try managing your autoimmune condition with your dermatologist. While autoimmune conditions are challenging to treat, it is possible for hair to grow back if they are resolved years later, and in some cases without medication. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir, you are so kind.
Thank you for your kind sentiments, Grae Lamb. Much appreciated :)

Hi 🙂hope,
Yes, thinning hair can grow back thicker if PCOS is managed. It is possible to have PCOS, and female pattern hair loss at the same time, so a diagnosis is needed to rule out concurrent female pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sir how to know that ..i consulted a dermatologist but he didnt mention anything..what to do
Hi@@athiraavinash6637,
I suggest you have your PCOS managed first by your gynecologist, and see how things improve. I may have misunderstood that you still have thin hair after your PCOS was already treated. I hope this helps you.
Sir.. is it possible to transplant leg hair into scalp for woman?... Sir please reply
Hi Mahima Bairagi,
Some doctors do perform hair transplants using body hair, but I personally do not perform them. You have to take into account the different texture and length of growth of body hair from scalp hair, and also consider the visible scarring from the donor sites. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sir i dnt have much hair on my doner area... And my forehead is big.. if i want to cover my forehead what i have to do?
And sir.. is it possible to grow new hair from doner area after transplant? And if can.. how much it will take time?
Sir please please reply
Hi@@mahimabairagi6927,
You can consider a hairline lowering transplant, or forehead reduction surgery, but both require seeing an experienced doctor for a proper examination to see what will work best for you. I hope this helps you.
Sir, a friend of mine had PCOS like 2.5 years ago. Although the problem is now cured, she has lost a significant amount of hair since then. Should she go for a hair transplant surgery? And also is hair transplant surgery (FUT or FUC) the only cure to hair fall related to PCOS. Are non-surgical methods entertained for hair fall related to PCOS. Is there even a cure.
Answers awaited
Hi Nehal Roy,
Sorry to hear about your friend's problem. As the video says, I wouldn't recommend a hair transplant if hair loss is diffuse that transplanted hair will be placed close to native hair, which can permanently damage hair follicles and cause more hair loss. We have treated hair loss associated with PCOS non-surgically with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. However, PCOS cases need to be approached on a case-by-case basis, and I have not seen your friend's scalp, or seen her workup to determine if she has concurrent pattern hair loss. There is no cure for genetic pattern hair loss, including hair transplant surgery because it doesn't treat progressive hair loss at all, but pattern hair loss can be managed to maximize scalp coverage, hair growth, and hair thickness. A physical scalp examination as well as a possible workup are needed first before I can recommend a specific treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I like your explanation sir.
Very detailed and very precise
Thank you for your time
I will be seeing you with my friend really soon in the US
You're welcome, @@nehalroy4661 !
I got 3 PRP treatments in 3 months and 6 months after last one there is no difference.
Hi L Z,
I'm sorry to hear that, but 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. 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:

Hi doctor, I am anemic and due to that my hair is thinning so much, it's growing long but it's so thin and volume is soo less, what treatment should I take?
Hilakshmi prasanna,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Iron deficiency is not conclusively linked to hair loss and hair thinning, but it is possible that you are anemic and have concurrent pattern hair loss. A proper diagnosis for female pattern hair loss is needed before you start treatment, which usually needs scalp biopsies done. You can refer to these videos on how we treat female pattern hair loss after a proper diagnosis is done:

Hi Unknown Person,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I would have to examine you, and determine the cause of your hair loss before recommending any specific treatment, and as the video says, hair transplants are generally not recommended for women, especially for someone as young as you. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:
th-cam.com/video/2WhELyekG4A/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/aTb_Evz1jIM/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/eIFL1-mrg0I/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/w-d-xo.html
So you mean hair transplant isn't recommended for angrogenic alopecia?
Hi cupcake,
As detailed in the video, androgenetic alopecia in women is usually diffuse hair thinning, meaning thinning native hairs are close together. The sharp implanter transplanting hair so close to native hair follicles can damage them permanently, leading to more hair loss. There is an example shown in the thumbnail, and the video, of a patient with a wide gap in her hair part where a transplant was safely done, but such cases are not as common. The video also shows how androgenetic alopecia in women can be treated without surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
What about women with autoimmune disorders?
Hi Rootatoot07,
Hair transplants are not advised when hair thinning is diffuse because the sharp hair implanter can damage nearby existing hair follicles, causing permanent loss to those hairs. We have successfully treated women with autoimmune disorders non-surgically with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir am 22 yrs old I have thin less volume hair and my scalp is visible, is there any chances to regrow new hair ?
Sir please tell me is there any chances of regrowth my hair or it will never come
Hi sujaya shinde,
Sorry to hear about your problem. There is a chance your thinning hair can be thickened, and growth can be achieved from dormant hair follicles that are still viable but not currently growing. However, the cause of your hair loss needs to be diagnosed before treatment. Female pattern hair loss is challenging to diagnose, so scalp biopsies are needed before treatment. You can refer to these videos about the different causes of hair loss in women, and how we diagnose and treat female pattern hair loss:

Ok thank you sir
You're welcome, @@sujayashinde5598!
In America is so expensive 😢
Hi Sunny Kon,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video costs about a third of an FUE transplant, or half of an FUT transplant performed in the US, without the risk of collateral damage to native hair follicles that occurs in most transplants done on diffuse female pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
