Can Diffuse Thinners Get a Hair Transplant?

[@jayrollo1352]

These video are priceless. Thank you.

[@ChMels]

My case it's something in between the second and last example. I've been using Avidart for 3 years and my hair loss is stabilized but I haven't got any major regrowth. It looks healthier, no doubt, but when my hair it's wet you can see the lack of density. And I can't use minoxidil due to heart palpitations... and basically any other treatment it's just ineffective. So I'm a strange position where I lack density in the midscalp and crown but I can't improve more with medication and a transplant in that area seems too risky.

[@googlesword9209]

Do you think scalp micropigmentation is a good alternative for diffuse thinners? Or would that still count as working in areas with miniaturized hairs, therefore the damage risk is the same.

[@Nick-et2pb]

Good question. Hope one of the doctors answers

[@MrMolotov69]

@@googlesword9209 I have a bit of knowledge on this: SMP can be a good option for diffuse thinners providing there is sufficient density and SMP will reduce the contrast between the scalp and hair. If the thinning is too advanced it won’t look good and SMP will look better with a shaved head. It won’t damage the hairs because it doesn’t penetrate deep into the skin tissue and is not nearly as traumatising to the scalp as a HT is.

[@MrMolotov69]

I unfortunately was a guy similar to the guy in the last example and got a HT done in Turkey. The surgeon never explained to me the risks and what was meant to be a 2500 graft procedure to address my hairline and frontal area which had receded became over 3500 spread across my scalp, which ended up damaging the native hairs I had in my mid scalp. I basically ended up with less density that before the operation. Going into the surgery I was unaware of things like permanent shock loss and transection so I urge fellow diffuse thinners to be careful.

[@DrParissis]

@@MrMolotov69 I’m very sorry to hear this. The issue with these clinics is often transparency. Working into an area that sacrifices native grafts is also a rookie mistake - as the surgical process damages them and you can end up with lower density than you started with. Hopefully things improve for you in the future!

[@MrMolotov69]

@@DrParissis the thing is when the surgeon analysed my scalp during the consultation under the microscope he saw plenty of miniaturized hairs in my mid scalp and therefore decided to throw in a lot of grafts there knowing I was not on finasteride or any medication. Of course me not knowing any better at the time I trusted the surgeon and didn’t know shock loss could be permanent.

​@@MrMolotov69u didn't noticed any density after hair transplant? Please reply

[@ML0408]

Will you update on Verteporfin trial?

[@AQBS-HairLoss-Champion]

I would just use a derma stamp or PRP for diffuse thinning unless I am willing to chop it all off and start from scratch. As the shock will knock out hairs in the vicinity. I help men get their high school hair line back naturally on my channel and keep the transplants more than 7 years.. so stop by for any interests

[@julian.castro18]

Please update us on Verteporfin!

[@mbmart2005]

Good video but you miss one important ? . Which surgery is better for diffuse thinners? FUE or FUT?

[@DrParissis]

@@mbmart2005 hello. Regardless of the exact pattern of loss - if it is advanced Male Pattern Baldness in the form of diffuse loss for example, then the most number of grafts is needed. By starting with FUT, 3,000 extra grafts can be obtained over a lifetime in the average patient. As long as the loss doesn’t affect the donor area, FUT is recommended in advanced diffuse loss patients.

[@karamsjourney]

Im like the last guy and always self critical. Ever since i noticed thining ive been paranoid. So dr if i want to try everything except finasteride because of PFS. My stack contains minox derma roller and saw palmetto. Anything im missing?

[@Taptapfail]

lol just take finasteride everyone is taking it, you should be afraid of hairloss side effects and not the finasteride side effects, pfs is not even real, watch Kevin Mann on youtube, that guy debunked pfs with science and literally thousands of people started using it because of him and they feel bad cuz they didnt take it earlier...start fin ASAP, im on dutasteride also, no sides

[@cosmicfertilizer]

I'm a bit like the last guy. I've had fine and thin hair my whole life. I guess I'll have to wait until we can edit our genes to give thicker hair...

[@broederbond60]

The second example was a good candidate for finasteride years ago.

[@blubberman911]

Hey Dr Parissis, do we have any update on the verteporfin trials from Dr Bloxham?

[@ned9344]

Is fin and min good for diffuse thinning especially if his hair is like the third example?

[@marcdebuck4014]

Yes i am on fin only and it is working so good! After a year my hair was fully back

[@mohammedelqahtani3843]

Since you are medical professional, I encourage you to investigate the potential connection between the RNA COVID-19 vaccine and hair loss/diffuse hair loss. While current research hasn't established a definitive link but there is something fishy about it marks my words, its not natural to have young teenagers both males and females to develop hair loss or balding in such numbers

[@josearmando7861]

isso e verdade, aconteceu comigo

[@Bakanelli]

Hahahah bullcrap. Covid19 ACTUALLY caused Telogen effluvium hair loss. Meanwhile mRNA vaccines saved lives and hair follicles from covid19 and thereby Telogen effluvium

[@emilphoryew9436]

None of these are hair transplant candidates. None are hopeless cases! These patients are ideal candidates for oral finasteride, oral minoxidil and progesterone therapy (vitex/chasteberry supplement). Additionally, low strength kenalog shots will reduce inflammation in the thinning areas to help regrowth. It will all grow back. Doing a hair transplant would be a mistake. The hairs are all miniaturized, not dead. Perfect candidates for drug therapy. If really looking to go "nuclear" (male to female) add something like estradiol and spironolactone. The hair will be thick and grow like a weed. I had temples worse than all these people, the drugs regrew areas all doctors thought would never regrow. I wish the hair doctors would be willing to try male to female drugs to fix hair problems if the patient is willing to transition. Nothing works better at stopping androgenetic alopecia than the feminizing drugs.

[@truthhurts8924]

Are you saying that to you think these people should change sex to get hair back??? Behave.😂

[@bradastra6111]

That sounds a bit insane
