Why a Hair Transplant May Damage Thinning Hair at the Crown, & a New Hair Loss Treatment

A gentleman was told by a hair transplant surgeon that he’s not a candidate for transplantation. He is currently taking finasteride. He wants to know if a hair transplant is a good option for him. Dr. Amiya Prasad, a hair restoration specialist, explains that a hair transplant is the strategic movement of hairs from the area at the back of the scalp which are genetically resistant to hair loss. This area is called the donor area. An example is a male who has advanced hair loss where they have a horseshoe pattern. That horseshoe pattern is permanent and it’s not going to fall out. Since it's permanent, those hairs can be cut out and then placed in another area strategically. Dr. Prasad added that the surface area of this gentleman’s crown is fairly large and it is very common for men to think they can cover that space easily with hairs. Unfortunately, it requires a large number of grafts to cover and the donor area is fairly limited. In addition, if the hair is thinning, there are existing hairs and not entirely bald areas. Placing grafts might destroy those existing viable hair follicles. His doctor may have suggested finasteride to see if it can reverse the hair thinning. Finasteride is a 1mg tablet taken once a day. It is used to inhibit an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dihydrotestosterone can cause susceptible hair follicles to eventually disappear. Many men with crown hair loss will respond to it. Unfortunately a lot of men, especially in their 20s and 30s, don’t want to take finasteride because of concerns about long-term sexual side effects. Dr. Prasad’s practice has been in a leadership position with a treatment called Hair Regeneration. It was discovered several years ago after the introduction of a material called extracellular matrix derived from pig bladder that helps wound healing. It uses the body’s adult stem cells to heal by duplication of tissue that is native to a given area where the extracellular matrix is applied - when it’s applied to muscle, it regenerates muscle. Since hair is an organ, it is not possible to regenerate or duplicate hairs or clone hairs but through this procedure, it is able to restore the cells and signals necessary for hair growth. Through this treatment, the hair that’s thinning will come back thicker. The results are first noticed from a months to 18 months. With ,ale pattern hair loss, Dr. Prasad is approaching a 100% success rate defined by significant improvement that people can see and appreciate with before and after pictures. He also routinely does microscopy to follow and assess his patients very closely. Dr. Prasad says that it is actually hard to find this particular treatment especially with all the fake solutions being publicized. Now that he has learned about this, he can investigate this method as an option for him and find a provider who can perform this. Dr. Prasad thinks that the trial of finasteride is worth considering. He should see how he does with it and learn more about Hair Regeneration to help him stop his hair loss and restore hairs that may or may not to be responding to finasteride.
