Hi doctor. I’m diagnosed with Frontal fibrosing alopecia unfortunately. I lost most my hair diffusely and also the hairline receded. Do you think hair transplant can be done if the disease is not active anymore? I cant stress enough how this disease affects mentally especially at young age. I’m wearing a clipped hair system but I think hair transplant eventually is the way to go.
So what you’re saying is that if you experience hair loss in your 20’s you are going to lose more hair than if your hair loss started in your 30’s. Or are you saying that 20’s is too early for a transplant because there’s no telling how far the hair loss will go?
Hi Real Slim Bobby, Actually both of what you say are good reasons not to have a hair transplant in your 20s. Also, people in their 20s expect more density than is possible with a transplant, as 80% of their peers in their 20s aren't experiencing pattern hair loss. It's more important to treat high DHT-sensitivity in your 20s to slow hair thinning, and try to thicken existing thinning hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi sten beetlex, The cost of the Hair Regeneration treatment varies with the extent of treatment needed, but at its full extent it costs about half of a single FUT hair transplant session, or about a third of a FUE hair transplant session performed in the US. You can contact us through www.nyhairloss.com, www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, or www.trichostem.com by filling out a contact form, and we’ll get back to you regarding price range. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr Prasad, Good video as always! With more than 7 years of clinical datas, do you have patients that had a good initial response with the treatment, but after some time, continued to lose hair despite further treatments? Is there any trend that indicate that the treatment is beneficial for a limited period of time and after that, further treatments don't help?
Hi Mike Reynold, Of the patients who responded well to the Hair Regeneration treatment years later, they have continued to sustain hair coverage after a second treatment. However, pattern hair loss can't be cured as it is hardwired into genetics. What we are doing is managing hair loss by keeping as much hair as possible, for as long as possible. We are only at time a time period where people are getting their second treatments after 5 years or more, so we can't say for certain about treatments after 10 years or more. You also have to consider that male pattern hair loss has different levels of severity. A man who loses hair in his 20s has a much more severe case than a man who starts to lose hair in his 40s or older. Younger male patients who are extremely DHT-sensitive is harder to treat, and will need a DHT-blocker along with the Hair Regeneration treatment. A man who starts losing hair in his 40s will have the Hair Regeneration treatment last longer, even without a DHT-blocker. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Thank you for the answer. It's very enlightening! Do you prescribe dutasteride to people with very aggressive pattern hair loss? I have read alot on the internet that dutasteride is better than finasteride for hair loss. It's hard in Canada to have a doctor willing to prescribe dutasteride off label for hair loss.
Hi Mike Reynold, I don't believe that dutasteride blocks more DHT than finasteride. I primarily prescribe finasteride to patients, then if they have any problems with tolerance, I switch them to finasteride. I suggest you consider taking finasteride first and see how it works out for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD The genes that cause pattern baldness -- are they the ones that produce more DHT? or are they the ones that are responsible for resistance of hair roots to DHT?
Hi@@theworldinthevlog9970, The genes for male pattern hair loss cause a scalp sensitivity to DHT, and do not cause more DHT to be produced. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Dr Amiya Always kind of you to clear doubts Something that’s also a query if you can also comment on For a grade 6 patient Even after the hair transplant that achieved good results in the beginning And finasteride daily for life term Will the patient still have good results after long term As in 20 years later Sure The transplanted hair thins out but they don’t fall off (as I’ve learned so far) And the other hair which were not transplanted will live off by Finasteride But finasteride efficacy reduces by time It’s like 60% approx. by fifth year So along with thinning of transplanted hair And Non transplanted hair having lower efficacy with finasteride Will the patient still achieve good results after long term Or All is lost in vain in long term results Thank you
Hi @connorapple006, As stated before, level of DHT-sensitivity of the user is the more important factor of finasteride's effectiveness, not a reduction of the drug's effectiveness in the 5th year. The follicles of thinning hair miniaturize until they disappear, and stop growing altogether. You can refer to these videos on what to expect after hair transplant if you don't have additional treatment for progressive hair thinning; how we can improve hair transplant results even after multiple transplant surgeries, and years on finasteride; and how we can thicken thinning hair in men who were only on finasteride for years, but didn't have a hair transplant: ruclips.net/video/xfuF2Lqx7mk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html
Hi Dr, I suffered from some progressive frontal hair loss. My scalp tends to get oily after shampooing the next day. I am not sure if this is a sign of androgenetic alopecia. Can I go for the non surgical hair growth treatment, as I am 29 this year?
Hi Aaron Chan, Non-surgical treatment is possible at your age, but androgenetic alopecia does need to be properly diagnosed before the treatment can be considered. Progressive hair thinning is likely androgenetic alopecia, but I would to see it in examination before recommending the treatment. You can contact our offices if you'd like it examined.

Hi sir im 23 and my hair line is slowly getting thinner... is hair regeneration is enough for me or should i use dht blocker also?? I don’t wanna use finasteride as im worried about its side affects.. i also stopped smoking cigarettes and alcohol consumption..
Hi Doc, I’ve read some articles that finasteride may cause some sexual dysfunction and impotence. What are your thoughts about it? Is it worth the risk? Thank you
Hi Lance Irvin, The risk of side effects from finasteride is only about 2% of users, so they’re very rare, and the vast majority of men taking the drug do not have side effects. I’ve had patients on finasteride for over 20 years who have not had side effects, and none of my patients have had long-term side effects. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, I am in my mid 20's. I regrew about 60% of my hair with finasteride for 2 years but it is not fully recovered yet. It went from a diffuse Norwood 4 to a norwood 1.5. It is stabilized however. Am I eligible for a hair transplant?
Hi Joshua David, I still don't recommend transplants at your age as transplants won't give you the scalp coverage to match your peers of the same age who don't have pattern hair loss. You are still better off with non-surgical treatment at this age to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth beyond finasteride alone, or wait until you are in your 30s for a transplant, when more men your age have some degree of hair thinning. You can refer to this video on how we can increase scalp coverage in men who have already been on finasteride for a long time - ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html
Thankyou for explaining my earlier question I kinda have one more question....I'm 25 yrs old and loosing a lot of hair on the right side of the crown...it's genetics since my father has the same type but he kinda lost his hair at his 40's...I'm having this sebum bumps on scalp which then causes hair loss and my scalp is very oily that I have to shapoo daily...do u think dht may really be the factor for sebum bumps on scalp and can finn help me maintain my hair atleast for a few years?
Here from your previous recommendation to watch this video Appreciate the feedback I do have a doubt on finasteride tolerance if you can also clear it How does finasteride tolerance works If I develop tolerance, would taking the dose even regularly be a waste Also, Immunity-to finasteride Is there a thing like that too Thank you
Hi @connorapple006, You can't build up a tolerance to finasteride like people can to minoxidil. The effectiveness of finasteride is more related to your individual level of DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to this video about it, but you can also discuss it with your prescribing doctor - ruclips.net/video/r6A0KjRKHrI/видео.html
Sir I'm 20 .. I'm having 3A type of hair loss in this early age since 4 years.. should I go for hair transplant now..and should I use finasteride topical or orally.. and is it the right age for taking finasteride??? Plz help
Hi Parth Shah, Like the title says, you should not get a hair transplant in your 20s. You can watch the video to see why it's a bad idea for you. Finasteride is a prescription drug, so you need to see a doctor before taking it. It is more effective as an oral drug since DHT is in the bloodstream. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi June Hass, I still wouldn't recommend a hair transplant at your age since the hair density expected in your 20s to keep up with your contemporaries is very different from hair density in your 30s and 40s. I would advise the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video at your age to thicken your thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from inactive hair follicles. Hair Regeneration patients your age would still continue with finasteride, but can either stop or be weened off of minoxidil. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Bake, It is possible after a physical examination to determine there is no pattern hair loss, and is usually done on people with no pattern hair loss, but who want to lower their natural hairline. However, due to the limitations of hair transplant density being less than the natural hair density, the transplanted area will look different from your native hair, and may require at least 2 surgeries for more natural looking hair density. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I am taking hvit forte tablet daily. If I stop that tablet my hair fall is very high. Is there any side effects by continuous use of biotin for a long time?
Hi Shravan p.v, Biotin is part of the B complex of vitamins, so it's not harmful, but it also does not treat the genetic causes of hair loss. If you have pattern hair loss, then you are DHT-sensitive, and will need a DHT-blocker like finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you so much doctor for your explanation and time can . where can i find your clinics please and how much for one session of acell prp please thank you

Hlw sir I'm sayyam...sir since 1 year I am suffering from hair loss as I'm 18 Year old. When I get oil my head or take shower then I found my hairs on my hand15-20... Sir in my family my grand father , father , and my uncle are also bald but I don't want to be bald like them so what u suggest me what should I do to stop my hair fall more... Sir when i look my head on mirror from back side I realized that my head is going bald from back...sir is the hairtransplant best for me or not???
Hi MR_ SAYYAM, I absolutely do not recommend a transplant for someone your age, as shown in the video. Shedding 50-100 hairs a day is normal as those hairs do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when shed hair grows back thinner with every growth cycle, until it grows back very thin, then stops growing altogether. I suggest you watch this video more closely about treatment options for someone your age. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Sufyan Abuali, Without your personal details, details about your transplant surgery, and not examining your scalp, I can't say for sure. If you are worried about your results, you should consult with your transplant surgeon. I hope this helps you.
Hi Habeb S, Yes, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can renew a healthier hair growth cycle to promote growth from dormant hair follicles that are still viable, but currently not growing, as well as thicken thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor. I had HT and my doctor advise me to use minoxidil for 6 month but I don’t want to use minoxidil as I’m allergic to it. What alternative I can use and if I don’t use will it affect my HT any ways
Hi Areb Faraz, Your doctor should have discussed DHT-sensitivity with you, and the need for a DHT-blocker like finasteride as hair transplants do not treat progressive hair loss. If you only use minoxidil for 6 months, the hair it delays from shedding will shed after you stop using it. Finasteride will need to be used continuously to slow thinning of native hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thanks a lot doctor . Please clear if I don’t use minoxidil and only continue using finasteride. Is that okay ? My native hair has no further progression to hair loss because when I opted for hair transplant I was not shedding from last 2 years . Now I’m only concerned about hair transplant. Should I use Minox on hair transplant or what if I opted not use minoxidil . How this option gonna change my result thanks a lot again
Hi Areb Faraz, I do think finasteride is more beneficial than minoxidil as it can slow down and stabilize hair thinning. However, if you stop using minoxidil, you can experience a sudden hair shed as the main benefit of minoxidil is delaying the hair shedding cycle. Also, you need to clarify the type of hair loss you have. Male pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning and delayed growth after normal hair shedding. Pattern hair loss is not hair shedding, and it is not normal to not shed any hair for 2 years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Zaryab Khan, Minoxidil doesn't block DHT formation at all, drugs like finasteride and dutasteride are DHT-blockers. Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but delays 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. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi DanDmma, No, I don't advocate or perform body hair to scalp transplantation. The texture of body hair is different from scalp hair, doesn't grow as long, and the graft extraction process will cause visible scars in the donor sites. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I have a question.Other than male pattern baldness can prp be a permanent solution if a person has lost the natural thickness due to some reason such as hormonal imbalance stress or lack of proper diet.So in such situation is prp a permanent solution??
Hi Ali Gul, Hormonal imbalances that are not DHT-related can cause hair shedding, but not hair thinning. Hair can be brittle due to nutritional deficiencies, but not thin. If you have hair thinning, you surely likely to have pattern hair loss, as pattern hair loss makes up 95% of hair loss cases. Pattern hair loss is embedded into the DNA, so there is no permanent cure, only management to keep as much hair as possible, for as long as possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir , do you have any clinic of yours in India , I need to maximize the density with this tricho stem formulla. I have lost hair on my scalp about 2 years ago , I tried most of the medicines available in the market , but I can't see any new growth ,and I don't face any hair fall either, since I lost my hair for the very first time .I can't go for HT as I don't have any bald spot , but this thin volume needed to be covered , any possibility please ?
Hi VIRTUAL CLASS, Sorry to hear about your problem. We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian 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.
Dr can you tell me what is the main difference between Telogen Afflivum and male pattern baldness.Any reply will be appreciated thank you.One more think how much time does hair need to recover from telogen??
Hi Ali Gul, Telogen effluvium is hair shedding caused by severe stress, where the hair does eventually grow back. The time it takes to grow back varies with the individual, but no treatment is required for it. Male pattern hair loss is hair growing back thinner after the normal shedding-growth cycle. If untreated, hair will miniaturize until it stops growing altogether. The main cause of male pattern hair loss is having scalp hair follicles sensitive to the hormone DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir would like to ask one more question.What are the symptoms of Telogen because for the from Feb to May I was suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and depression.I was in a stress trauma and I had 8 inches of hair.In June I went to my uncle's home and he noticed thinning spot above my temple it was out of no where I never saw it even before three days.Can you help clarify this.Thank You
Hi Ali Gul, It is hard to diagnose without a physical exam, and your explanation is a bit unclear. Thinning where hair is thinner happens gradually, but shedding where hair is gone happens suddenly.
Hi Yadav Yuvraj, Part of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment plan for someone your age and level of DHT-sensitivity is to take 1mg of finasteride daily. Your results of the injection treatment won't be as good, or last as long, if you don't take finasteride daily. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Wrestle lover : YoufuN Media, We can thicken thinning hair at the hairline, but you may need a full treatment plan with Hair Regeneration and finasteride if you are still young, and highly DHT-sensitive. There is no cure for pattern hair loss, but we can manage it to keep as much hair as possible for as long as possible.

Hi sushmitha tadi, The phrase "stem cell therapy" is too broad to say it works. The Hair Regeneration treatment recruits your body's own stem cells to renew a healthy hair growth cycle, and allow thinning hair to grow back thicker. It uses PRP as an activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix, so it works. However, other treatments are also stem cell therapies, and don't work. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Let's ride this motorbike, You need to take finasteride before and after a hair transplant as hair transplants do not treat progressive hair loss. Have you watched this video I sent you yet? It shows what you can do treat hair loss now, and get more density than multiple hair transplants. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Yami Givo, A hair transplant is more appropriate after age 30 for several reasons: 1) only 20% of men in the 20s experience hair loss, so men in their 20s keeping up with their peers with a lot of hair will expect more density from a hair transplant to match their peers with lots of hair 2) if you experience hair loss in your 20s, you have a very rapid progression of hair loss, so you are losing hair faster than it can be transplanted, also known as the treadmill effect 3) if you continue to have transplants in your 20s, you won't have any donor hair left in your 30s and beyond 4) the amount of hair density to match your peers lessens as you get older, as more men your age experience hair thinning and hair loss 5) if you continue to have hair transplants without stabilizing rapid hair loss in your 20s, you would have spent tens of thousands of dollars on multiple hair transplants, but won't have much hair in your 30s as your native hair does continue thin after a transplant alone, leaving only sparse transplant coverage. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I’m 23 and I’ve been losing hair since 2020 and it’s still as bad as ever losing way more than before. I have not gotten a hair transplant even though I’m considering it only because the medications (minoxidil, dutasteride and finasteride) that I was prescribed by dermatologist aren’t working at all. I’m at the turning to go for hair transplant. Even if I decide to wait till my 30s. You do realize that possibly I will be bald at that time and possibly can’t do anything about it. That’s why I feel like Doing it right now is better than later. It’s like it gotta be done before it’s too late. Explain that to me, what If by the time I turn 30, I’m bald and only have on the sides and back but won’t be possibly to get a hair transplant because my top head is empty of hair? I live in Connecticut but considering a transplant treatment at a country cheaper like Mexico
Hi@@yamigivo2693, You need to know that hair transplants alone do not treat progressive hair loss, so hair loss continues after you have a transplant, or even several hair transplants. You can refer to the man who had hair transplants done starting in his 20s, who is featured in the thumbnail, and also at 3:17. It's your decision, but there is a reason why many hair transplant surgeons who are concerned about their patients' results don't recommend hair transplants before age 30. You can also refer to these videos about why treatment for progressive hair loss is needed after a hair transplant, featuring a patient on the thumbnail who had several hair transplants, and was already on finasteride prior to our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration; as well as TrichoStem Hair Regeneration as a hair transplant alternative for men under age 30: ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/maKL78Fz3js/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xfuF2Lqx7mk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Zi6Bxog9_SE/видео.html
Hi@@yamigivo2693, Yes, you will lose hair after a hair transplant, and quite rapidly if you have it done in your 20s. Hair transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all, they just move hair from the back of the head to the front. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I have one question please reply " Sir I am confused and not getting the difference between (hair loss due to genes ) and ( hair loss due to harmones ) in males . Please explain it sir . Because doctor said me that my hair fall is occurring due to harmones and contrarastingly she said it is genetic .
Hi himanshu maal, They can actually mean the same thing, as men with pattern hair loss have a genetic scalp sensitivity to the hormone DHT, which is major factor in hair thinning. However, there are other causes of hair loss due to hormonal imbalances that are not genetic, such as severe stress causing temporary hair shedding, or childbirth or postpartum hormonal changes causing temporary hair shedding in women. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Ali Gul, There's no treatment required for telogen effluvium. 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. Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. 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 Hair Regeneration patients don’t need maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride can concurrently help younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely.
Hi Amruthesh Amrutha, If you started losing hair in your 20s or younger, you are highly DHT-sensitive, and will need to take a DHT-blocker fro life to control DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Nasir Wahidi, While I do hear of many people using onion juice for their hair, I don't see any indication or results that show it is an effective treatment for the genetic causes of pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Eric Sedique, It is possible for male pattern hair loss to follow diffuse thinning pattern, which is more associated with female pattern hair loss. For the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment to work, the hair must have been thick in the past, as it can't thicken hair that has always been thin. If you have male pattern hair loss in your 20s, blocking DHT is an important factor in getting the best results of treatment, as well as extending the results for a long as possible. You can refer to these videos about the importance of DHT-blockers, as well as getting thickening thinning hair beyond just a DHT-blocker alone: ruclips.net/video/fLSB-tE0gco/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html

Hi Rude Boy So-Hell, Hair transplants do not treat progressive pattern hair loss, which should have been explained by your surgeon. An experienced hair transplant surgeon would not have done the transplant so young, and would have put you on a DHT-blocker like finasteride first to treat and slow hair thinning. You can look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video to help heal grafts, thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from inactive hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Nani Prashanth, You are about 10 years too early for a transplant, and your hair will still progressively thin despite your transplant. You will need to take finasteride to slow hair loss progression. No matter how many transplants you have, your hair density will not match your peers who don't have pattern hair loss at this young age. Please refer to the video for what to expect if you had a transplant so you. I hope this helps you.
You're welcome, @@naniprashanth9614. The regular dosage of finasteride is 1mg a day, but you still need to get a prescription from a doctor. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Lost most of my hair. Being a drug addict🙁 weeks of doing so and not eating. Have. A 60 year old hair line at 22. Back hair did withstand such a shock the body. They are some strong hair.
Hi Nemeru, Sorry to hear that. Your hair may have shed, or had breakage from the stress of drug use, and lack of nutrition, but shed hair does grow back. If shed hair is growing back thinner, then an examination is needed to determine if you have concurrent pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@nemeru3352, Concurrent hair loss means you can have two types of hair loss at the same time: stress-related hair shedding, and genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi yacine gdr, Most patients only need one treatment session to last 3-5 years, but patients with advanced hair loss get a second treatment session 15-24 months after the first to thicken new, fine hair growth stimulated by the first treatment. There is no additional charge for the second treatment. Men with high DHT-sensitivity are required to take finasteride as part of their treatment plan, or results won't last as long. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hello sir, I take finasteride from last 1.5 yr from may2017 to aug.2018 and use minoxidil 5% . know my doctor suggest me stop finasteride and take multivitamin tablet which include biotin , green tea extract , collagen peptides etc. and use more f 5% topical lotion I.e is combination of minoxidil and finsteride . is it OK for me to remain same condition of my hair .
Hi jatin juneja, DHT is present in the bloodstream, so it's better to take finasteride in pill form rather than a topical. Biotin is a B vitamin that helps with hair health, but it does not block DHT. Finasteride is more effective than minoxidil as minoxidil does not treat hair thinning, nor does it treat DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hello sir , thanks for giving me such advice , so sir can I use finasteride for long period , or that time I stop it for 3-4 month and after that I take .
Hi jatin juneja, Finasteride needs to be taken daily to prevent DHT formation. It is a long-term drug. I have patients who have taken it daily for 20 years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hlw sir, i m 19 years old , my hairs are start falling from 1years ,I notice that when i wash my hair and touch hardly to my hair then some hair fall from my head ,sir can you give me the suggestion
Hi Naveen Sharma, Sorry to hear about that. There is a difference between hair shedding that's not associated with pattern hair loss, and hair thinning which is a sign of pattern hair loss. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss occurs when the hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. If you are worried about hair issues, it's important to be diagnosed by an experienced doctor first before having any treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hi the southern army, We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment.

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.
Sorry to hear that, Patrick. Ethical hair transplant surgeons do tell their patients to wait until they are at least 30 because transplant surgery can't keep with up with rapid progression, and transplant surgery can't match the density of other men in their 20s without pattern hair loss.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD well regardless I’m 28 had a hair transplant for my crown and receding hairline. Your saying a hair restoration could have fixed all this? How much does something like that cost?? I had an fue a month ago
Hi@@Patsworldbaby, 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 refer to these videos on how we treat crown hair thinning, and temple/hairline recession non-surgically: ruclips.net/video/MOq5fCUCJaA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Rkp8CUHR4WU/видео.html You can contact our offices or our websites for a price range, and an appointment.

Hi sharan kumar, If your thinning hair was once thick, it is possible to thicken them with the Hair Regeneration treatment. However, you should also look into a DHT-blocker as you are very young to be experiencing hair thinning, so you are likely highly DHT-sensitive. I would still prescribe a DHT-blocker to someone like yourself, even with the Hair Regeneration treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Gowri Shankar, The chances of side effects from finasteride are pretty rare at about 2% of patients having them. I've had patients who were on finasteride for 20 years who didn't suffer from side effects. Of the patients I've had with side effects, they were temporary, and restored normal function after stopping the drug, often just temporarily. There are many common causes of sexual dysfunction, such as: lack of sleep, lack of exercise, stress, smoking, alcohol, and diet, but it is really easy to blame the drug when there could be other factors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dhiraj Reddy, Hair transplants are especially not recommended for diffused hair thinning because transplanting hair too close to native hair can permanently damage those follicles, which is called collateral loss. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/видео.html You can see in either video how we thicken thinning hair without surgery with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Keith Cozzart, If you did, it's more important for you to have additional treatment for progressive hair loss to minimize the effects of progressive hair thinning on your appearance. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dragon Fighter, No, it does not. Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics, not by any particular activity or behavior. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@dragonfighter3090, Think about it - do all men have hair loss? No. Do all men have DHT? Yes. Genetics determine if a man has a scalp sensitivity to DHT to cause hair thinning. I hope this is clearer to you now.

Hi doctor. I’m diagnosed with Frontal fibrosing alopecia unfortunately. I lost most my hair diffusely and also the hairline receded. Do you think hair transplant can be done if the disease is not active anymore? I cant stress enough how this disease affects mentally especially at young age. I’m wearing a clipped hair system but I think hair transplant eventually is the way to go.
So what you’re saying is that if you experience hair loss in your 20’s you are going to lose more hair than if your hair loss started in your 30’s. Or are you saying that 20’s is too early for a transplant because there’s no telling how far the hair loss will go?
Hi Real Slim Bobby,
Actually both of what you say are good reasons not to have a hair transplant in your 20s. Also, people in their 20s expect more density than is possible with a transplant, as 80% of their peers in their 20s aren't experiencing pattern hair loss. It's more important to treat high DHT-sensitivity in your 20s to slow hair thinning, and try to thicken existing thinning hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thanks for taking your time to reply
You're welcome,@@DCT97!

Hi sten beetlex,
The cost of the Hair Regeneration treatment varies with the extent of treatment needed, but at its full extent it costs about half of a single FUT hair transplant session, or about a third of a FUE hair transplant session performed in the US.

Hi Dr Prasad,
Good video as always! With more than 7 years of clinical datas, do you have patients that had a good initial response with the treatment, but after some time, continued to lose hair despite further treatments? Is there any trend that indicate that the treatment is beneficial for a limited period of time and after that, further treatments don't help?
Hi Mike Reynold,
Of the patients who responded well to the Hair Regeneration treatment years later, they have continued to sustain hair coverage after a second treatment. However, pattern hair loss can't be cured as it is hardwired into genetics. What we are doing is managing hair loss by keeping as much hair as possible, for as long as possible. We are only at time a time period where people are getting their second treatments after 5 years or more, so we can't say for certain about treatments after 10 years or more.
You also have to consider that male pattern hair loss has different levels of severity. A man who loses hair in his 20s has a much more severe case than a man who starts to lose hair in his 40s or older. Younger male patients who are extremely DHT-sensitive is harder to treat, and will need a DHT-blocker along with the Hair Regeneration treatment. A man who starts losing hair in his 40s will have the Hair Regeneration treatment last longer, even without a DHT-blocker. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Thank you for the answer. It's very enlightening! Do you prescribe dutasteride to people with very aggressive pattern hair loss? I have read alot on the internet that dutasteride is better than finasteride for hair loss. It's hard in Canada to have a doctor willing to prescribe dutasteride off label for hair loss.
Hi Mike Reynold,
I don't believe that dutasteride blocks more DHT than finasteride. I primarily prescribe finasteride to patients, then if they have any problems with tolerance, I switch them to finasteride. I suggest you consider taking finasteride first and see how it works out for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD The genes that cause pattern baldness -- are they the ones that produce more DHT? or are they the ones that are responsible for resistance of hair roots to DHT?
Hi@@theworldinthevlog9970,
The genes for male pattern hair loss cause a scalp sensitivity to DHT, and do not cause more DHT to be produced. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Dr Amiya
Always kind of you to clear doubts
Something that’s also a query if you can also comment on
For a grade 6 patient
Even after the hair transplant that achieved good results in the beginning
And finasteride daily for life term
Will the patient still have good results after long term
As in 20 years later
Sure
The transplanted hair thins out but they don’t fall off (as I’ve learned so far)
And the other hair which were not transplanted will live off by Finasteride
But finasteride efficacy reduces by time
It’s like 60% approx. by fifth year
So along with thinning of transplanted hair
And
Non transplanted hair having lower efficacy with finasteride
Will the patient still achieve good results after long term
Or
All is lost in vain in long term results
Thank you
Hi @connorapple006,
As stated before, level of DHT-sensitivity of the user is the more important factor of finasteride's effectiveness, not a reduction of the drug's effectiveness in the 5th year. The follicles of thinning hair miniaturize until they disappear, and stop growing altogether. You can refer to these videos on what to expect after hair transplant if you don't have additional treatment for progressive hair thinning; how we can improve hair transplant results even after multiple transplant surgeries, and years on finasteride; and how we can thicken thinning hair in men who were only on finasteride for years, but didn't have a hair transplant:

Hi Aaron Chan,
Non-surgical treatment is possible at your age, but androgenetic alopecia does need to be properly diagnosed before the treatment can be considered. Progressive hair thinning is likely androgenetic alopecia, but I would to see it in examination before recommending the treatment. You can contact our offices if you'd like it examined.

Hi sir im 23 and my hair line is slowly getting thinner... is hair regeneration is enough for me or should i use dht blocker also?? I don’t wanna use finasteride as im worried about its side affects.. i also stopped smoking cigarettes and alcohol consumption..
Hi Doc, I’ve read some articles that finasteride may cause some sexual dysfunction and impotence. What are your thoughts about it? Is it worth the risk? Thank you
Hi Lance Irvin,
The risk of side effects from finasteride is only about 2% of users, so they’re very rare, and the vast majority of men taking the drug do not have side effects. I’ve had patients on finasteride for over 20 years who have not had side effects, and none of my patients have had long-term side effects. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor,
I am in my mid 20's. I regrew about 60% of my hair with finasteride for 2 years but it is not fully recovered yet. It went from a diffuse Norwood 4 to a norwood 1.5. It is stabilized however. Am I eligible for a hair transplant?
Hi Joshua David,
I still don't recommend transplants at your age as transplants won't give you the scalp coverage to match your peers of the same age who don't have pattern hair loss. You are still better off with non-surgical treatment at this age to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth beyond finasteride alone, or wait until you are in your 30s for a transplant, when more men your age have some degree of hair thinning.
You can refer to this video on how we can increase scalp coverage in men who have already been on finasteride for a long time - ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html
Hey Joshua, did you have any progress in last few months?

Thank you
Hi @connorapple006,
You can't build up a tolerance to finasteride like people can to minoxidil. The effectiveness of finasteride is more related to your individual level of DHT-sensitivity. You can refer to this video about it, but you can also discuss it with your prescribing doctor - ruclips.net/video/r6A0KjRKHrI/видео.html

Sir I'm 20 .. I'm having 3A type of hair loss in this early age since 4 years.. should I go for hair transplant now..and should I use finasteride topical or orally.. and is it the right age for taking finasteride??? Plz help
Hi Parth Shah,
Like the title says, you should not get a hair transplant in your 20s. You can watch the video to see why it's a bad idea for you. Finasteride is a prescription drug, so you need to see a doctor before taking it. It is more effective as an oral drug since DHT is in the bloodstream. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I been taking dutastride and applying minoxidil for almost 4 years
Does this allow me to have a transplant keep in my mind am 23
Hi June Hass,
I still wouldn't recommend a hair transplant at your age since the hair density expected in your 20s to keep up with your contemporaries is very different from hair density in your 30s and 40s. I would advise the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video at your age to thicken your thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from inactive hair follicles. Hair Regeneration patients your age would still continue with finasteride, but can either stop or be weened off of minoxidil. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Can I get a hair transplant in my 20's if I don't have hair loss?
Hi Bake,
It is possible after a physical examination to determine there is no pattern hair loss, and is usually done on people with no pattern hair loss, but who want to lower their natural hairline. However, due to the limitations of hair transplant density being less than the natural hair density, the transplanted area will look different from your native hair, and may require at least 2 surgeries for more natural looking hair density. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I am taking hvit forte tablet daily. If I stop that tablet my hair fall is very high. Is there any side effects by continuous use of biotin for a long time?
Hi Shravan p.v,
Biotin is part of the B complex of vitamins, so it's not harmful, but it also does not treat the genetic causes of hair loss. If you have pattern hair loss, then you are DHT-sensitive, and will need a DHT-blocker like finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Sir when i look my head on mirror from back side I realized that my head is going bald from back...sir is the hairtransplant best for me or not???
Hi MR_ SAYYAM,
I absolutely do not recommend a transplant for someone your age, as shown in the video. Shedding 50-100 hairs a day is normal as those hairs do grow back. Pattern hair loss happens when shed hair grows back thinner with every growth cycle, until it grows back very thin, then stops growing altogether. I suggest you watch this video more closely about treatment options for someone your age. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey doctor I did a hair transplant 5 months ago and I see very little growth. Could this mean that it is a failure?
Hi Sufyan Abuali,
Without your personal details, details about your transplant surgery, and not examining your scalp, I can't say for sure. If you are worried about your results, you should consult with your transplant surgeon. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor does hair regeneration also promote hair growth
Hi Habeb S,
Yes, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can renew a healthier hair growth cycle to promote growth from dormant hair follicles that are still viable, but currently not growing, as well as thicken thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor. I had HT and my doctor advise me to use minoxidil for 6 month but I don’t want to use minoxidil as I’m allergic to it. What alternative I can use and if I don’t use will it affect my HT any ways
Hi Areb Faraz,
Your doctor should have discussed DHT-sensitivity with you, and the need for a DHT-blocker like finasteride as hair transplants do not treat progressive hair loss. If you only use minoxidil for 6 months, the hair it delays from shedding will shed after you stop using it. Finasteride will need to be used continuously to slow thinning of native hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thanks a lot doctor . Please clear if I don’t use minoxidil and only continue using finasteride. Is that okay ? My native hair has no further progression to hair loss because when I opted for hair transplant I was not shedding from last 2 years . Now I’m only concerned about hair transplant. Should I use Minox on hair transplant or what if I opted not use minoxidil . How this option gonna change my result thanks a lot again
Hi Areb Faraz,
I do think finasteride is more beneficial than minoxidil as it can slow down and stabilize hair thinning. However, if you stop using minoxidil, you can experience a sudden hair shed as the main benefit of minoxidil is delaying the hair shedding cycle.
Also, you need to clarify the type of hair loss you have. Male pattern hair loss is gradual hair thinning and delayed growth after normal hair shedding. Pattern hair loss is not hair shedding, and it is not normal to not shed any hair for 2 years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir can we use minoxidil for 1 year and can it helps in blocking dht....?
Hi Zaryab Khan,
Minoxidil doesn't block DHT formation at all, drugs like finasteride and dutasteride are DHT-blockers. Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but delays 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. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya, do you advocate for body hair to head hair transplantation?
Hi DanDmma,
No, I don't advocate or perform body hair to scalp transplantation. The texture of body hair is different from scalp hair, doesn't grow as long, and the graft extraction process will cause visible scars in the donor sites. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I have a question.Other than male pattern baldness can prp be a permanent solution if a person has lost the natural thickness due to some reason such as hormonal imbalance stress or lack of proper diet.So in such situation is prp a permanent solution??
Hi Ali Gul,
Hormonal imbalances that are not DHT-related can cause hair shedding, but not hair thinning. Hair can be brittle due to nutritional deficiencies, but not thin. If you have hair thinning, you surely likely to have pattern hair loss, as pattern hair loss makes up 95% of hair loss cases. Pattern hair loss is embedded into the DNA, so there is no permanent cure, only management to keep as much hair as possible, for as long as possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir , do you have any clinic of yours in India , I need to maximize the density with this tricho stem formulla.

Dr can you tell me what is the main difference between Telogen Afflivum and male pattern baldness.Any reply will be appreciated thank you.One more think how much time does hair need to recover from telogen??
Hi Ali Gul,
Telogen effluvium is hair shedding caused by severe stress, where the hair does eventually grow back. The time it takes to grow back varies with the individual, but no treatment is required for it. Male pattern hair loss is hair growing back thinner after the normal shedding-growth cycle. If untreated, hair will miniaturize until it stops growing altogether. The main cause of male pattern hair loss is having scalp hair follicles sensitive to the hormone DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir would like to ask one more question.What are the symptoms of Telogen because for the from Feb to May I was suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and depression.I was in a stress trauma and I had 8 inches of hair.In June I went to my uncle's home and he noticed thinning spot above my temple it was out of no where I never saw it even before three days.Can you help clarify this.Thank You
Hi Ali Gul,
It is hard to diagnose without a physical exam, and your explanation is a bit unclear. Thinning where hair is thinner happens gradually, but shedding where hair is gone happens suddenly.
Sir suppose I go for hair regeneration then I take finastride regularly or dose can be decrease like alternate days or twice a week
Hi Yadav Yuvraj,
Part of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment plan for someone your age and level of DHT-sensitivity is to take 1mg of finasteride daily. Your results of the injection treatment won't be as good, or last as long, if you don't take finasteride daily. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Doctor does stem cell therapy + prp combination work for thinning hair
Hi sushmitha tadi,
The phrase "stem cell therapy" is too broad to say it works. The Hair Regeneration treatment recruits your body's own stem cells to renew a healthy hair growth cycle, and allow thinning hair to grow back thicker. It uses PRP as an activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix, so it works. However, other treatments are also stem cell therapies, and don't work. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Doctor i must take fenasteride 9 years for now until i get 30 and then a transplant? And if i do i must stop take fenasterine after transplant?

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Got it mann!! Thank you very much!! Great videos! 😀
Seriously how old does someone have to be for hair transplant and what makes them a really good candidate for a hair transplant?
Hi Yami Givo,
A hair transplant is more appropriate after age 30 for several reasons: 1) only 20% of men in the 20s experience hair loss, so men in their 20s keeping up with their peers with a lot of hair will expect more density from a hair transplant to match their peers with lots of hair 2) if you experience hair loss in your 20s, you have a very rapid progression of hair loss, so you are losing hair faster than it can be transplanted, also known as the treadmill effect 3) if you continue to have transplants in your 20s, you won't have any donor hair left in your 30s and beyond 4) the amount of hair density to match your peers lessens as you get older, as more men your age experience hair thinning and hair loss 5) if you continue to have hair transplants without stabilizing rapid hair loss in your 20s, you would have spent tens of thousands of dollars on multiple hair transplants, but won't have much hair in your 30s as your native hair does continue thin after a transplant alone, leaving only sparse transplant coverage. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi@@yamigivo2693,
You need to know that hair transplants alone do not treat progressive hair loss, so hair loss continues after you have a transplant, or even several hair transplants. You can refer to the man who had hair transplants done starting in his 20s, who is featured in the thumbnail, and also at 3:17. It's your decision, but there is a reason why many hair transplant surgeons who are concerned about their patients' results don't recommend hair transplants before age 30.
You can also refer to these videos about why treatment for progressive hair loss is needed after a hair transplant, featuring a patient on the thumbnail who had several hair transplants, and was already on finasteride prior to our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration; as well as TrichoStem Hair Regeneration as a hair transplant alternative for men under age 30:

Hi@@yamigivo2693,

Sir I have one question please reply
" Sir I am confused and not getting the difference between (hair loss due to genes ) and ( hair loss due to harmones ) in males . Please explain it sir . Because doctor said me that my hair fall is occurring due to harmones and contrarastingly she said it is genetic .
Hi himanshu maal,
They can actually mean the same thing, as men with pattern hair loss have a genetic scalp sensitivity to the hormone DHT, which is major factor in hair thinning. However, there are other causes of hair loss due to hormonal imbalances that are not genetic, such as severe stress causing temporary hair shedding, or childbirth or postpartum hormonal changes causing temporary hair shedding in women. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Is prp treatment a viable option for telogen effluvium.If yes then how many sittings are required??
Hi Ali Gul,
There's no treatment required for telogen effluvium.
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. Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. 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 Hair Regeneration patients don’t need maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride can concurrently help younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely.
Is necessary take medicine for life long after hair transplant, no means hw long we take
Hi Amruthesh Amrutha,
If you started losing hair in your 20s or younger, you are highly DHT-sensitive, and will need to take a DHT-blocker fro life to control DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi sir this is nasir from Afghanistan I have a single question for you
Is onion water is helpful for hair growing or not
Hi Nasir Wahidi,
While I do hear of many people using onion juice for their hair, I don't see any indication or results that show it is an effective treatment for the genetic causes of pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I still have a full set of hair but it’s thin. Can I still get the injections to thicken it?
Hi Eric Sedique,
It is possible for male pattern hair loss to follow diffuse thinning pattern, which is more associated with female pattern hair loss. For the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment to work, the hair must have been thick in the past, as it can't thicken hair that has always been thin. If you have male pattern hair loss in your 20s, blocking DHT is an important factor in getting the best results of treatment, as well as extending the results for a long as possible. You can refer to these videos about the importance of DHT-blockers, as well as getting thickening thinning hair beyond just a DHT-blocker alone:

What is the cost for this procedure?
Hi YFO Hamrani,
The cost of the Hair Regeneration treatment varies with the extent of treatment needed, but at its full extent it costs about half of a single FUT hair transplant session, or about a third of a FUE hair transplant session performed in the US. You can contact us through www.nyhairloss.com, www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, or www.trichostem.com by filling out a contact form, and we’ll get back to you regarding price range. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I've been researching for other methods to combat the hair loss. What are your thoughts on breezula CB-03-01?
Hi YFO Hamrani,
I am open to all hair loss treatments, but Breezula CB-03-01 has not yet hit the market. You should be informed that many unreleased treatments often make the news or do a marketing campaign while they're still in development to draw more investors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I recently get Hair Transplant I'm 24 year old it's has been 2 month and old hair still fall......what medicine you recommend to me for hair fall ....please sir its a request
Hi Rude Boy So-Hell,
Hair transplants do not treat progressive pattern hair loss, which should have been explained by your surgeon. An experienced hair transplant surgeon would not have done the transplant so young, and would have put you on a DHT-blocker like finasteride first to treat and slow hair thinning. You can look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video to help heal grafts, thicken thinning hair, and stimulate growth from inactive hair follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Im 19 and have a receding hairline and my hair is thinning what should i do
Hi blake ryder,
Sorry to hear about your problem. 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. You can start by seeing an experienced doctor for a proper examination of your scalp, and you can start treatment from there. You can refer to this more recent video about the factors for treatment in male pattern hair loss - ruclips.net/video/d0tddJt6OME/видео.html

Hi sir Im Prashanth i went for hair transplant with 2200 grafts at 20 is any side effecrs will i face in early plz tell me sir
Hi Nani Prashanth,
You are about 10 years too early for a transplant, and your hair will still progressively thin despite your transplant. You will need to take finasteride to slow hair loss progression. No matter how many transplants you have, your hair density will not match your peers who don't have pattern hair loss at this young age. Please refer to the video for what to expect if you had a transplant so you. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Tnq very much sir for ur Concern, is one finasteride tablet enuough in a day?
You're welcome, @@naniprashanth9614. The regular dosage of finasteride is 1mg a day, but you still need to get a prescription from a doctor. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Lost most of my hair. Being a drug addict🙁 weeks of doing so and not eating. Have. A 60 year old hair line at 22. Back hair did withstand such a shock the body. They are some strong hair.
Hi Nemeru,
Sorry to hear that. Your hair may have shed, or had breakage from the stress of drug use, and lack of nutrition, but shed hair does grow back. If shed hair is growing back thinner, then an examination is needed to determine if you have concurrent pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what does concurrent hair loss mean? Been a month. There was a a psyhotic episode with ampfetmkne. And lsd.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanku for the answer
Hi@@nemeru3352,
Concurrent hair loss means you can have two types of hair loss at the same time: stress-related hair shedding, and genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How many times should someone in nw 2 do the hair generation ?
Hi yacine gdr,
Most patients only need one treatment session to last 3-5 years, but patients with advanced hair loss get a second treatment session 15-24 months after the first to thicken new, fine hair growth stimulated by the first treatment. There is no additional charge for the second treatment. Men with high DHT-sensitivity are required to take finasteride as part of their treatment plan, or results won't last as long. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hello sir, I take finasteride from last 1.5 yr from may2017 to aug.2018 and use minoxidil 5% . know my doctor suggest me stop finasteride and take multivitamin tablet which include biotin , green tea extract , collagen peptides etc. and use more f 5% topical lotion I.e is combination of minoxidil and finsteride . is it OK for me to remain same condition of my hair .
Hi jatin juneja,
DHT is present in the bloodstream, so it's better to take finasteride in pill form rather than a topical. Biotin is a B vitamin that helps with hair health, but it does not block DHT. Finasteride is more effective than minoxidil as minoxidil does not treat hair thinning, nor does it treat DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hello sir , thanks for giving me such advice , so sir can I use finasteride for long period , or that time I stop it for 3-4 month and after that I take .
Hi jatin juneja,
Finasteride needs to be taken daily to prevent DHT formation. It is a long-term drug. I have patients who have taken it daily for 20 years. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hlw sir, i m 19 years old , my hairs are start falling from 1years ,I notice that when i wash my hair and touch hardly to my hair then some hair fall from my head ,sir can you give me the suggestion
Hi Naveen Sharma,
Sorry to hear about that. There is a difference between hair shedding that's not associated with pattern hair loss, and hair thinning which is a sign of pattern hair loss. It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, and they do grow back. Pattern hair loss occurs when the hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. If you are worried about hair issues, it's important to be diagnosed by an experienced doctor first before having any treatment. I hope this helps you.
Dr. Do you have any branches in India?
Hi the southern army,
We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian 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.
Ohh man! why am I just watching this after 1 month of my hair transplant
Sorry to hear that, Patrick. Ethical hair transplant surgeons do tell their patients to wait until they are at least 30 because transplant surgery can't keep with up with rapid progression, and transplant surgery can't match the density of other men in their 20s without pattern hair loss.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD well regardless I’m 28 had a hair transplant for my crown and receding hairline. Your saying a hair restoration could have fixed all this? How much does something like that cost?? I had an fue a month ago
Hi@@Patsworldbaby,
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 refer to these videos on how we treat crown hair thinning, and temple/hairline recession non-surgically:

Sir, iam 22 I have lost hair at Frontal portion, but at remaining places hair density is very good, I have very small hairs at my fontal portion of size .3 mm , .5 mm to 1 cm is it possible to grow these hair. And also in renting frontal portion
Hi sharan kumar,
If your thinning hair was once thick, it is possible to thicken them with the Hair Regeneration treatment. However, you should also look into a DHT-blocker as you are very young to be experiencing hair thinning, so you are likely highly DHT-sensitive. I would still prescribe a DHT-blocker to someone like yourself, even with the Hair Regeneration treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Have your patients taking Finasteride 1mg experience any low libido or any sexual problem?
Hi Gowri Shankar,
The chances of side effects from finasteride are pretty rare at about 2% of patients having them. I've had patients who were on finasteride for 20 years who didn't suffer from side effects. Of the patients I've had with side effects, they were temporary, and restored normal function after stopping the drug, often just temporarily. There are many common causes of sexual dysfunction, such as: lack of sleep, lack of exercise, stress, smoking, alcohol, and diet, but it is really easy to blame the drug when there could be other factors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I am 27 right age i have diffused hair loss , i can see scalp all over my head !!
Hi Dhiraj Reddy,
Hair transplants are especially not recommended for diffused hair thinning because transplanting hair too close to native hair can permanently damage those follicles, which is called collateral loss. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/видео.html
You can see in either video how we thicken thinning hair without surgery with the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir how can I reach to you to send my pictures?
Hi Shubham Dalvi,

We do provide a preliminary review of your case through our Virtual Pre-consultation if you send your pictures through nyhairloss.com/virtual-consultation/ or www.trichostem.com/virtual-hair-loss-consultation/ or prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/skype-virtual-consultations/ but this is not a formal consultation. A formal, one-on-one Skype or FaceTime video consultation with me can arranged through here: nyhairloss.com/skype-virtual-consultations/ or here: prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/skype-and-facetime-virtual-consultations/ I hope to hear from you soon.
i got a transplant at age 20
Hi Keith Cozzart,
If you did, it's more important for you to have additional treatment for progressive hair loss to minimize the effects of progressive hair thinning on your appearance. I hope this helps you.
Are u happy with results
Sir ! Does masterbation cause hairloss ?
Hi Dragon Fighter,
No, it does not. Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics, not by any particular activity or behavior. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD doesnt It shoot your testosterone to Peak levels and then they late get converted to High levels of DHT at the end Causing Hairloss
Hi@@dragonfighter3090,
Think about it - do all men have hair loss? No. Do all men have DHT? Yes. Genetics determine if a man has a scalp sensitivity to DHT to cause hair thinning. I hope this is clearer to you now.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sorry for disturbin u again and again i just wanted to ask 1 more questions ive been usin 0.5 mg fin for the past 3 weeks and im having gynocomastia due to that should i leave it or lower the dose to 0.25 ?
Hi@@dragonfighter3090,
You should be asking the doctor who prescribed finasteride to you. I only prescribe 1mg daily to my male patients.
