I'm glad to hear that baldness isn't just in the mother's line. I've been saying for years that I don't believe that, since at least 4 generations of men on my father's side of the family have been bald and started losing hair fairly early.
I have been using Minoxidil for several months and have been using the Kirkland 5% liquid but the summer months and sweating has made my scalp more sensitive Thanks for your suggestion about using Foam instead of the liquid.,Have a safe and fun Vacation❤
I had severe hair loss during the pandemic and had to go to a dermatologist who gave me scalp injections. And my hair gradually grew back and is now like it is before. But I remember him mentioning to me that the hair loss could occur again in ten yrs??!!
My husband uses rosemary oil for 7 months and he almost didn’t have hair on top of his head and forehead. Now after 7 months using it once in two days regime his hair grew back, I can’t even see his scalp. I did not believe his hair will grow back but it did . I just want to share his experience. He is very confident man today since he was not happy about loosing hair .
Definitely can be an effective yet expensive procedure for pattern hair loss but tricky that it is hard to assess who will respond to it as some will not respond which is tough after paying so much for this treatment.
My primary physician also recommended Rogaine. I am a 69 year old women. Thanks for your reccomedation about strength. She also mentioned that part of the problem could be due to me coloring my hair. Is this true?
Dr Sugai please make a easy to understand video telling us what and when to apply the morning products suggested-- Vitamin C -- hyaluronic acid--- moisturizer and sunbock then the nighttime products Retinol- hyaluronic acid and moisturizer, I have the products and I have mature skin...just not sure which goes on when and I think it matters. And is Hyaluronic acid important? Thank you
Helpful video. I’m a 60-year-old woman and am starting to see a lot of scalp through my hair at the sides of the hairline. Not severe enough for light therapy or even an all over shampoo, but would consider spot treating with Minoxidil. I am very interested in the nutrition/vitamin aspect early in this talk. Perhaps a prompt for a future follow-up. Thanks.
Thank you, Kim for watching and for sharing. Topical minoxidil can be a great start for many with your mild to moderate severity. Just part the hair and apply directly to the scalp! Good luck and you’re def right that nutrition and vitamin levels can influence hair and nails 🙏
I have not seen specific studies backing up certain brands but anecdotally in my practice, I have seen patients enjoy using iRestore and Capillus (which they purchased through Costco). Thanks for watching!
As a man in my mid 30s without any noticeable hair loss I would like to do anything I can to prevent hair thinning/loss. Are minoxidil or finasteride preventative or only useful once you have some sort of alopecia? Could either trigger alopecia if you use them without any signs of hair loss?
I don’t typically prescribe anything as prevention due to side effects and cost. Minoxidil is fairly safe but if it causes irritation of your scalp, it could create a new problem including hair loss.
Great question- it will just go back to baseline if you stop and you won’t be worse off than if you didn’t do it at all to begin with. Definitely need to stay with it to keep up results though.
Dear Dr Sugai, if you read this, does a person have to wear googles with the Laser caps please? I bought a Laser band but not used it yet. As I have got older my health anxiety means that I always worry about the worst case scenario. So in this case I am worrying about the laser affecting my eyes. Sorry if a silly question but any feedback gratefully received. Thank you.
Hi Dr. Sugai, For women, do you prefer topical minoxidil over oral? I prefer to take a pill, because I'll get lazy about having to apply something topically every day.
Would love this answer too! I know topical has a safer risk profile since it doesn’t involve systemic absorption but compliance is definitely an issue to consider.
I’m on oral Minoxidil and love the thick hair I have again! After the first month or two I lost a LOT of hair, it was really scary. My dermatologist assured me that it was normal. I stuck with it and love the result. Yes I do have more facial hair. If it bothers me too much I just shave it. For me this is a small price to pay for the full head of hair I have now. And yes you can’t stop taking it. Hope that helps.
😮how disappointing 😢 my youngest son started boldness at 21 years old 😢 I was sad for him and since I was 54 - for 10 years now and I have been loosing hair 😢too but I’m a woman so later , I’ll just use a human hair wig so I don’t need to colour my hair! I don’t think anyone can help me for my hair loss 😂😂 now
@@zh41985 no.. Derm didnt want to give me dutasteride because He thought finasteride would work… and Honestly Using minoxidil, dutasteride, tretinoin would not be cheap
Hi apparently i use L'Occitane and it had bad side effects dizziness light headed weakness heart rate high i was tired sick and ill can you also comment about this
My hair has been shedding starting 2015 when I had my first child went to my dr and he adjusted my thyroid meds and it was fine for a while than I had my daughter 2017 and it hasent stopped since it’s not Ike it was in 2015 but it’s just not the same since having my son
Mothers go through the most sacrifices and the hair definitely can be permanently thinner in some cases postpartum (and can worsen with subsequent pregnancies). I would chat with your dermatologist on how to halt the shedding. Take care and thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you for this but I need so much more information. Can you please do a video on the PRP treatment and hair transplants. I am dealing with Alopecia, and it's devastating. I was diagnosed by one doctor saying Alopecia Androgenetic and another saying it from scaring and Menopause. I have been using Minoxidil 5% for the last 9 months and I have seen some growth in the bald spots but I want to know will my hair ever go back to its original state without a full hair transplant and those are not guaranteed. What makes you a good candidate for a hair transplant or PRP. And is it true that once you start using Minoxidil, you have to continue to use it for the rest of your life?
How about to regrow hair? My stylist thinned my hair and it feel like a buzz cut underneath 😢🤬 I need to regrow it asap! Any shampoos or products? I already have thick hair just need it grow back asap
Doctor, how do you feel about Fisetin supplements? I was reading the medical publications on it and it seems legit but I have never heard of it. This year I turned 47 and the right side of my head hair texture changed. My hair is long to my waist and it became sparse hanging down. 😳 I legit went into panic.
I wish I lived closer to you so you could be my dermatologist! Thanks for making all these great videos!
Awww appreciate you and thank you for saying that 🙏☺️

Family been using coconut oil .. (make it ourselves) our hair is thicker than ever ..
I have been using Minoxidil for several months and have been using the Kirkland 5% liquid but the summer months and sweating has made my scalp more sensitive Thanks for your suggestion about using Foam instead of the liquid.,Have a safe and fun Vacation❤
I hope the foam is gentler on the scalp and thanks for emphasizing that point. Good luck with your hair treatments!

Dr Sugai, what vitamin do you recommend besides the tropical and oral medicine. Thanks 🌞
Thank you doctor you are awesome.
Appreciate you, my friend!

I wish u would add a part to this video on PRP for hair loss as well ❤

Is it true minoxidil ages the face/prvents the skin from properly producing collagen?
There is no evidence that I came across that supports this. Thanks for the question/comment 🤙
Thanks for this video.
Could you please recommend us which brand of LLLT cap is the most effective according to your clinical practice?
I have not seen specific studies backing up certain brands but anecdotally in my practice, I have seen patients enjoy using iRestore and Capillus (which they purchased through Costco). Thanks for watching!
Question unrelated to this topic: do nail beds breathe? Heard both yes and no so, asking a doctor for a correct answer! TIA 😊
What are your thoughts about Nutrafol hair growth supplements for women?
As a man in my mid 30s without any noticeable hair loss I would like to do anything I can to prevent hair thinning/loss. Are minoxidil or finasteride preventative or only useful once you have some sort of alopecia? Could either trigger alopecia if you use them without any signs of hair loss?
I don’t typically prescribe anything as prevention due to side effects and cost. Minoxidil is fairly safe but if it causes irritation of your scalp, it could create a new problem including hair loss.
Doctor is it true if you stop using Minoxidil your hair will fall out even more ?
Great question- it will just go back to baseline if you stop and you won’t be worse off than if you didn’t do it at all to begin with. Definitely need to stay with it to keep up results though.
Can I use monixidil on eyebrows?
It has been shown to work on thicker eyebrows! Just don’t get it in your eyes and apply carefully with a brow or lash brush to your brows 👍
How often can you shampoo with nizoral? Could it be used daily?
Typically it’s an every other day shampoo 👍
Kindly provide your thoughts on using nanoxidil. Thanks.
is it really enough to use minoxidil once per day as you say?
Ideally twice a day for max efficacy but some of my patients can only tolerate once a day due to dryness/irritation.
