You are so awesome. I love how you speak so kindly and softly about providers that are screwing people over. I wish I was near you and could use your services.
Hi@@margaretmairi7927, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration has to be done in one of our locations in New York City, Long Island, or Virginia. 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.
Thank you for the recommendation! We have had many patients from Texas coming to New York or Virginia from around the country and around the world for the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration 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 New York or Virginia. Many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.
Hi Dr Prasad, I live in houston Tx im 41 yr old women , my hair has been thining alot on top and my sides since past 4 yrs I feel so unsecure to wear my hair down you can start seeing my scalp a little im afraid with time it be more noticible. I cant dye my hair like alot of women do..so no new looks or changes for me 😔 because i think that will damage and have my hair fall out more and thin it, I use toppic to cover thining scalp areas 😞 Im emberrased and makes me sad when people tell me..oh ur going a little bald I can see your scalp. I bought this hair growth treatments and shampoos name shapiro md hair growth system that include mionoxidil and this other foam thing dht blocker or something like that but honestly dont think any of that will help me not lose my hair or grow it thicker. Id love to have you help me and see whats my problem with my hair. Im interested in doing that trecho stem hair restoration you do before I lose all my hair 😞 Help me please
Hi Elena Garcia, Sorry to hear about your problem. I would have to diagnose the cause of your hair loss first before treatment, but it can be done right before treatment. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat hair thinning caused by female pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia, why our treatment is an alternative to minoxidil that works better, and why you won't need to use minoxidil after our treatment, and why DHT-blockers are not recommended for women: ruclips.net/video/2WhELyekG4A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/видео.html ruclips.net/video/lbngJ1a5GIw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xF_e36Z6QLg/видео.html
Hi thanks for explaining things in a better way. I am 43 years old. I’m having curly hair. I have problem of baldness. I recently observed I am getting the same pattern as my dad. Is there any age restriction for your treatment to work. I live in St. Louis in Missouri.
Hi @IntotheWildscape, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment actually works better for men who have later onset of genetic pattern hair loss as they are not as sensitive to DHT, and their hair loss pattern is not as aggressive. Many of our male patients with later onset can also sustain the results of our treatment without finasteride because they are not as DHT-sensitive as young men who have an early onset, although finasteride is still recommended for many older male patients. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How does this treatment compare to the Autologous follicular stem cell therapy treatment where they mix PRP with the the cells obtained from hair follicles?
Hi Thaer Qasem, Autologous follicular stem cell therapy is still under research, so it's not available for people to use, so visible results on trial candidates are limited. On the other hand, our treatment has been available to patients since 2011, and we have patient data showing its effectiveness for 3-5 years, or even more with only 1-2 treatment sessions. You can see more results throughout our videos on this playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLXvIZUTvI_69-iS1-e5524vzzokJcWWtc
Hi doctor, Hope your keeping yourself well and staying safe. I have been doing PRP for a while and taking tablets as supplements for couple of years. Will it be advisable to go for stem cell or Hair-transplant itself, since the density I was actually expecting is not achieved yet, Can you please suggest which would be better for getting the best result with least side effects possibly. Im 29 actually nearing 30 Regard’s Arun
Hi Arun kumar, I would normally recommend TrichoStem Hair Regeneration, with daily finasteride for male pattern hair loss at your age, for maximum hair density and thickness. The actual incidence of side effects with finasteride is very rare. You can refer to these videos about the importance of finasteride, how we can go beyond finasteride alone in hair thickness, and the differences of TrichoStem Hair Regeneration from PRP alone: ruclips.net/video/fLSB-tE0gco/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vZAGaAssewY/видео.html
Hi Bhagwat Sharnagati, None of our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients need to use minoxidil after the injection treatment. Our male patients with high DHT-sensitivity do need to use finasteride after the injection treatment for maximum benefits, and longevity of treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@bhagwatsharnagati4967, Generally, the earlier the onset of male pattern hair loss, and the more aggressive the hair thinning, then the higher the DHT-sensitivity. Men with pattern hair loss in their 20s and 30s have a higher DHT-sensitivity than men whose hair starts to thin in their 40s or older. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@bhagwatsharnagati4967, Patients on finasteride are usually indicated in the before and after pictures. The particular one you are asking about had a later onset/less aggressive pattern, so his DHT-sensitivity is not so acute. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m 38year old woman but I lost more than 40% of my hair when I was 26. Still trying to find a solution either hair transplant or any treatment. Please suggest
Hi @gyanpk, Sorry to hear about your problem. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat female pattern hair loss; and why hair transplants are not advised for diffuse hair thinning in women: ruclips.net/video/2WhELyekG4A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/-qqYdDT9jnI/видео.html
Hi Abdisalam Abdi, You can have the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment because it only uses stem cells contained in PRP, which is derived from the patient's own blood. Extracellular matrix does not contain stem cells, but when used with our treatment it stimulates adult stem cells from within your own body. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @patrickmccready6051, 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 contact our offices or our websites for a price range. Our offices are located in the US in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336. You can also reach us through www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, www.nyhairloss.com, or www.trichostem.com by filling out a contact form, and we will get back to you. I hope to hear from you soon.
Hi @Tarick-mg6ir, You can 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.
Hi doc! I'm a 20 years old and about 10 months ago had a HT of 3000 graphs .But I didn't see ANY improvment of my density,also I ve taken finasteride these months . What I wanted to ask is if at this stage PRP would have an effect on my transplated hair ,making waking it up or something like that ? I must point out that the clinic at which I ve had the ht didn t do a prp to me ... so that's what made me thinking about it.
Hi Costache Paul Eduard, Sorry if you were misinformed by your surgeon, but you had a hair transplant far too young because you are losing hair faster than a transplant can keep up with. Hair transplantation, even with finasteride, PRP, and other treatments at your age cannot give you the hair density of your peers who don't have high scalp DHT-sensitivity and early onset of male pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos about why hair transplants are not advised at your age, and how additional treatment can help improve your results, but they still won't give you the hair density of most men in their 20s: ruclips.net/video/2GkCy-30hFg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/maKL78Fz3js/видео.html
Hi doc, I’m just 20yrs old! And I have already lost a lot hair around my crown area, I did prp back in 2019 but I didn’t get any good results! I have consulted with many doctors, dermatologists, hair specialists but they didn’t find any reason for this, most probably it’s because of genetics. The problem has become more complicated now, and I’m almost bald. So what do you prefer for me? Stem cell therapy or hair transplant? Which is gonna have more longer and permanent effects?
Hi @nyematasnim4451, Sorry to hear about your problem. Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it can be managed to thicken thinning hair, and maximize scalp coverage, but it can't be completely stopped, or permanently cured. 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, and many older TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity as TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration™ is not a DHT-blocker. 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. You can refer to these videos about the differences between TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration from PRP alone, and how we treat crown hair thinning: ruclips.net/video/vZAGaAssewY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/xSMTd9qVwNo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MOq5fCUCJaA/видео.html
Hi Ayaan Khan, I did try to open in Dubai, but it didn't work out. For now, the treatment has to be done in the US. 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.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Glad to hear you tried Dubai. Just a suggestion to consider Mumbai or Hyderabad in future. Also, the plane tickets are the biggest US expense.
Hi@@ColtraneTaylor, Thank you for the suggestion, but I won't be spending too much time traveling as it does take time away from patients who need care. I can better help patients if they did travel to us when needed, than if I traveled regularly to see patients. I hope you understand.
Hi doctor my name is bhargav and I am of 20 year old from past 6-7months I am having severe hair loss due to this issue I have consulted VCARE hair clinic in Hyderabad they recommend me stem cells treatment as I am young in age what do you suggest... Anyways good content thank you sir..🙏
Hi BHARGAV SATISH_07, I can't make treatment suggestions as I have not diagnosed the cause of your hair loss. You can refer to this video on how we diagnose, and treat male pattern hair loss - ruclips.net/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/видео.html
Dr., what do you recommend for somebody like me that got a hair transplant 10 months ago I also go back to the clinic in Mexico and get EXOsomes and do task right injections but what do you recommend additionally?
Hi, I generally don't recommend treatments that are not proven clinically. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video has 12 years of clinical results, with over 99% of patients seeing a visible increase in scalp coverage, with only 1-2 treatment sessions needed, and results lasting 3-5 years, or even longer. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dave, It depends on the individual patient, but young men with early onset of pattern hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity are prescribed finasteride as part of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment plan for best results, and maximum longevity of the injection treatment. You can refer to these other videos on the importance of finasteride, and how we can help male patients already on finasteride to increase hair thickness and scalp coverage: ruclips.net/video/fLSB-tE0gco/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html
Hi Karan, A proper medical opinion requires an examination of your scalp, and to see if your thinning hair can be thickened non-surgically instead, as thinning hair is more numerous, and more densely placed than hair transplants can achieve. I don't perform or recommend beard hair as donor hair, as the extraction of these hairs will leave scars on your face. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doctor I had 5 sessions of PRP and there was not much improvement in the density. I am taking Finasteride and Minoxidil. I am 24 years old. My doctor is suggesting Stem cell hair restoration therapy. Can I go for that? And at what age can I go for hair transplantation? I am in the Type 4 hair baldness stage. Please reply doctor

Hi Shakti, "Stem cell therapy" is too general a term to comment about specifically. Genetic pattern hair loss doesn't have a cure, but it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, scalp coverage, and hair growth. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/B035EcHqllY/видео.html
Hello Dr, I am aware after a hair transplant that it is advised to not engage in sexual activity post op however there are mixed messages around masturbation - Can the grafts be affected due to masturbation and if so when would you say it would be safe? Thanks
Hi Adam White, You should consult your surgeon as there are variables in your personal level of exertion, where you are in your healing process or the way you heal if haven't had surgery yet, concurrent medical conditions that may affect healing, and how your transplant surgery was performed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I don't have hair In my front and side since the day I born I don't know why but sir can I grow it back I m 16 years old .can we start treatment such as minoxidil at 16 years too ?
Hi Gaurav, Sorry to hear about your problem. The cause of why you don't have hair in these areas needs to be properly diagnosed with an examination by an experienced doctor. However, treatments like minoxidil, and other hair loss treatments cannot induce hair growth in areas that never had hair. I suggest you see a doctor to examine why there was no previous hair growth in these areas. I hope this helps you.
Hi Modest Publican, The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is for thickening thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. Genetic pattern hair loss does not affect beard growth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Nish G, It is normal for PRP alone to take several treatment sessions. 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 said it's a one time treatment(plus possible booster 15-24 months after) that lasts for years, so after all those years would someone be able to undergo this regeneration treatment again, which would last for an additional 3-5 years?
Hi Can't think of a name, Yes, we have treated patients 5 or 6 years, or even more after their first treatment, and their hair coverage and thickness still looked pretty good. It's important to remember that genetic pattern hair loss is hardwired into the DNA, so it can't be completely cured, but it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, and scalp coverage, so management is continual. Also, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment does not block DHT, so men with high DHT-sensitivity do need a DHT-blocker for maximum, and longest lasting results. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi AARI 011, 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. 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.
Sir for an example if a person had 10 years of only thyroid problem but didn't have any other problems related to hair and later if thyroid come to normal level will his hair regrow naturally? In my case I have thyroid problem from 6 years and there's very less density and hair thinning uniformly on scalp but hair line hasn't receded much (receding is almost negligible). I had Consulted with many doctors but all concluded by saying that without curing thyroid problem hair fall can't be treated Successfully. Now I am under thyroid treatment. Will hair regrow naturally or should it be treated after thyroid level is normal? And one more question can anyone being an expert doctor find the exact problem a patient is having related to hair fall if he meet doctor in person?
Hi shivraj kumar, It is possible for hair to grow normally after treating a thyroid condition. However, it is possible to have thyroid-related hair loss, as well as genetic pattern hair loss at the same time. The only way to properly diagnose the cause or causes of your hair loss is by a physical examination by an experienced doctor. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Sir thanks for your reply! I still don't understand what exactly "genetic" problem is. Because in our family my father and my mother's father have and had full hairs on scalp (didn't have a bald spot) even at the age of 65! But only some members of our family are bald like my father's brothers and mother's father's sons. So if this is called genetic hair loss problem then most people in the world have atleast one bald people in their family for sure. So the word genetic hair loss doesn't exist or it's meaningless in my opinion.
You're welcome,@@shivrajkumar8086. You're right that the genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations on both sides of your family. I know that bothers you somehow, but I still suggest you have it properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor so you can start additional treatment, if needed.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Sir thank you very much. Sir if you don't mind can you briefly explain what all you do to examine the scalp physically so that i will have some idea about it.
Hi@@shivrajkumar8086, You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss: ruclips.net/video/2WhELyekG4A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/видео.html
Hi @ravebrave8866, 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 maximize hair thickness, and keep as much hair and scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/B035EcHqllY/видео.html
Hi@@ravebrave8866, Hair at the sides of the head, and the lower part of the back of the head are genetically resistant to the effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), so even the baldest men have a surrounding rim of hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@ravebrave8866, That would not work because DHT is in the bloodstream. DHT is a major factor in male pattern hair loss, but it's not the only factor. You can refer to these other videos on the factors of pattern hair loss in men; how we diagnose, and treat and male pattern hair loss: ruclips.net/video/d0tddJt6OME/видео.html ruclips.net/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/видео.html
Hi Nero EN, Biotin may help with hair growth, but thinning due to pattern hair loss is a genetic condition, not a nutritional one, so biotin is not a treatment for thinning hair. I made this recent video about it, for your reference - ruclips.net/video/kbs7Zh02NkU/видео.html
Hello doctor just a quick question, I’ve had a hair transplant 3 months ago and I had 2 prp sessions in the last 2 months and recently I’ve been having a lot Shedding, more than usual I know it can happen when new hair is growing but my question is, if I take finasteride or minoxidil or the combination or the 2 will it boost the already growing hair or will it cause more shedding to my scalp? Ps Thank you for your videos forever grateful for the content and information you provide
Hi Sofiane Belbrik, Treatment is still needed after a hair transplant as transplants don't treat progressive hair thinning at all, which your transplant surgeon should have discussed with you. Finasteride is important before and after a hair transplant to block DHT to slow hair thinning, but minoxidil has a limited effect. You can refer to these videos about it: ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/sv82XSpQfnI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/видео.html
Hi Dr Prasad, thank you for your great content - I had a hair transplant in the UK and on the 6th day post op I accidentally tapped the sun-visor in my car in the recipient area - Could you confirm if my grafts will be fully ok or could this have damaged any of them? There was no bleeding at all, the area looks the same and it was more of a light tap than a hard bang. Many thanks!
Hi Jason W, Thank you for watching! It is highly unlikely that a tap to the scalp will cause any graft loss, as grafts are usually firmly in place 48-72 hours after transplant surgery that a surgical instrument is needed to dislodge them. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/K-t6Eu1McJU/видео.html
Hi @thestork2210, Autologous stem cells can come from a number of different cells, so it's not a uniform procedure. The limits of different stem cell procedures are detailed in the video. Our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment recruits your own adult stem cells for a healthier hair growth cycle to thicken thinning hair, and save hair follicles from miniaturizing. You can refer to this video on the differences between our treatment, and PRP alone - ruclips.net/video/vZAGaAssewY/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you for the reply. The stem cells or Autologous stem cells I was referring to do come from the patient's own stem cells not otherwise, or, you adding any other components to your TrichoStem formula?
Hi@@thestork2210, Autologous means the patient is the same as the donor, but it's vague as to what specific stem cells are used in the procedure. Most often, "stem cell" treatments are fat grafting, or stem cells from fat, as detailed in the video. TrichoStem Hair Regeneration contains a little of the patients' own stem cells that are in PRP, so PRP alone can be classified as a stem cell treatment. However, PRP is not the main ingredient, and the formulation with extracellular matrix does recruit the patients' own adult stem cells called progenitor cells in the healing process, which in turn restarts a healthier hair growth cycle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Forgive me for asking again one last question. Would using The Autologous added to a PRP solution be of any benefit along with the hair transplant or PRP would be enough?
Hi@@thestork2210, The video is about stem cell treatments, including "autologous stem cells", being vague. Stem cell treatments are only effective if they are proven in clinical use, so ask your doctor about seeing both short-term, and long-term results, usually in before and after pictures. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi sir iam ganesh when i was 18 yrs old and 7 months i started taking my first finasterade pill. Now iam on the month 6 near to month 7.still iam loosing a tons of thin vellus hairs everywhere is 6 months enough for Finasterade 1 mg / day to work. Can stress also cause this kind of hair loss all the hairs that iam loosing is miniaturized small hairs. My condition is excatly same as when i started finasterade the hairline the vertex area there is no more profession of scalp visibility but the hair is still thinning out. Another question Iam just 19 years old. I hit puberty sure but i've read that during late adolescent period from 18 - 21 dht is needed for physical maturation. Including muscle devolopment and facial hair devolopment. I got upper muscles but beared is not fully devolped. So my question is will this finasterade drug permanently kills the beared potential. Is there any rule that if finasterade is taken from the age group of 18 - 21 then the door close and willn't be able to devolop a beared in future. Do i need to reduce the dose of finasterade for leaving the way for dht to act on physical maturation if it isn't completed.
Hi ganesh, First of all, finasteride is a prescription medication, so you should only be taking it with a doctor's prescription. A doctor knows that a DHT-blocker like finasteride should not be prescribed to patients who are too young due to the importance of DHT for male physical development. 18-years-old is the minimum age I prescribe finasteride to my patients. Some men taking finasteride do experience a temporary increase in hair shedding, which can last up to 6 months when use is first started. I don't see finasteride hindering beard growth in my patients. If you have concerns about finasteride, you should be asking the doctor who prescribed it to you as they determined if it was needed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD hair is loosing a lot sir all those hairs are small miniaturised hairs can this hair shedding last more than 6 months. Which month is the deadline.
Hello Dr. I did my hair transplant from turky before 10 months. The first 4 months was so good hair were growing and no hairfall . but from 6th month extreme hair fall started. and it is still now going on. i discussed wth my turkish dr they dont help so much. i am using minoxidle spray and xpecia tablet. i dont know nobody tells me clearly what exactly is the problem.. i feel minoxidil spray is causing my hair fall . but some says minoxidil dont make hair to fall . please i need your help
Hi Mubeen Afzal, It could be due to minoxidil as minoxidil delays normal hair shedding, so if you stop using it, or if it loses effectiveness, you can have significant hair shedding. Hair transplants do not treat progressive hair thinning due to male pattern hair loss, so you need additional treatment like a proven DHT-blocker like finasteride to slow hair thinning, and the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video to thicken thinning hair. Supplements like Xpecia are not replacements for finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Dear Dr. Thanks for your feedback. Should i keep using minoxidil (regain) spray or should stop using it. because i feel like when i use it continuously 3 to 4 days my hairs gets so much dry with dandruff and patches on head hairs are like falling that they are just hanging with head like extreme level falling. thats why i use it with the gap of 2 to 3 days. but that also does not help. and now my head is clearly visible day to day like getting empty. please help me, how to use it or should i stop using it , should i use another alternative that atleast stops my hairfall . my turkish dr says he can offer me a free transplant again because of this hairloss. should i go for it 2nd transplant ? i am also worried about this. it seems like I wasted 2000 euros on transplant. . please suggest
Hi@@mubeenafzal7471, While minoxidil is not a necessity, you need treatment after a hair transplant for progressive hair thinning, and that should at least be a prescription DHT-blocker like finasteride, and not supplements that are not regulated like pharmaceuticals. I can't recommend further transplantation to you without knowing your details, especially your age. You an refer to these videos on why multiple hair transplants don't mean better coverage, why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, why hair transplants are not advised for men under 30, and how we improve hair transplant results without further surgery: ruclips.net/video/at-pzX0TEB4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/2GkCy-30hFg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/A3huSHGYrFU/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMDThanks alot for your help. Literally Doctor I pray may God gives you more success, you listen to the people and their problems. Nobody does that. Actually i am in Germany right now and i am 29 . i wish i knew about your clinic. so i could come to your clinic before. so now i m not using minoxidil anymore. i will start finasteroid as soon as possible.
You're welcome,@@mubeenafzal7471. You can have your transplant surgeon send you a prescription for finasteride. You are little too young still to have had a transplant, which you could watch the video about that I sent you.
Hi Abhilash n, We would need to examine your scalp in consultation to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Generally, the treatment works on existing thinning hair, and bald areas of scalp that have not grown hair for less than 5 years as the follicles are dormant, but not completely miniaturized. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Vishal V, I hope you understand that I can't make a diagnosis from a brief description. A proper scalp examination would be needed to determine if you have actively thinning hair. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@sultanzamin6310, Sorry to hear that. You do need a proper examination before you can start treatment. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat pattern hair loss in men, and the factors of pattern hair loss in men: ruclips.net/video/BmwyXS0D5tg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/d0tddJt6OME/видео.html
Hi Rengoku Op, 15 is generally too young for androgenetic alopecia, so I suggest you have your scalp examined by an experienced local dermatologist first for a proper diagnosis before you consider treatment. The usual first treatment for male pattern hair loss is the prescription DHT-blocker finasteride, but the minimum age for a prescription is 18, as DHT is important for male physical development at your age. I hope this helps you.
Hi King Dass, It is possible, but it also possible that it won't as minoxidil does lose effectiveness with time. You can refer to this video about the limitations of minoxidil - ruclips.net/video/sv82XSpQfnI/видео.html
You're welcome,@@Riseroseriot. Our patients actually stop using minoxidil after our injection treatment. You can refer to this more recent video about it - ruclips.net/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/видео.html
Hi Dennis Guilder, Traction alopecia does get worse with time due to prolonged tension on hair follicles. Traction alopecia is an entirely preventable condition if it's due to tight hairstyles. It isn't certain that it is reversible in early stages as level tension can vary, as well as the individual's ability to recover from the tension. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@dennisguilder1, The hair follicles need to be intact, and not severely damaged from tension to be able to recover. Scarring is a different condition in hair loss, as it usually refers to skin or autoimmune conditions that cause hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@marriejames01, While we have successfully treated patients who have pattern hair loss and traction alopecia concurrently, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment cannot revive hair follicles that have been permanently damaged by the constant tension of traction alopecia. I hope this clarifies things for you.
In 2012 in Japan scientists imanaki invented I technology of stem cell, no need to store stem cell ate birth age at any age of life any organ can develop for human bodies
Hi Mohd Tarik, Yes, that is true. Our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment works by stimulating the body's own adult stem cells. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Saif Ali, That's too general a question to answer as there are several types of artificial stem cells in development, or in clinical use for different therapies. You would have to ask a doctor who uses specific artificial stem cells for a specific area of treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello Doc, I am 29 years old, my hair loss begun in 2014 and by 2021 I lost around 25% hairs mainly from temples and one line cross the mid frontal part. I started Minoxidil+finasteride solution, back in Feb 2021, and after using it consistently for one year, I got almost 30-40% lost hairs back(surprising, but true). But those gained hairs were not as strong the existing ones. So I decided to get a hair transplant, had it 4 days back. So my question now is that, do I need to continue minoxidil+finasteride 5% topical solution? Also, would oral finasteride thicken the hairs which are naturally thin by birth(which is case for me)? And lastly, what do you think about new hair growth formulation like Redensyl, procapil, anagain, caprixyl etc??
Hi Pep Singh, You did get a hair transplant at a younger age than I would recommend, but you still need treatment after a hair transplant for progressive hair thinning. No treatment can make hair thicker that it ever was, but our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can make thinning hair due pattern hair loss thicker. I only prescribe oral finasteride to my male patients, and not topical, as blocking DHT-formation is more effectively done systemically rather than just topically at the scalp. I don't find any of the other hair formulations you mentioned to be effective. Finasteride is primarily for slowing thinning hair. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant; how we can improve hair thickness in men already taking finasteride; and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need minoxidil, other topical treatments, and other drugs or supplements other than finasteride after our treatment: ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/4YowPNRsv6I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/видео.html

Thank you for the appreciation, harpers1niter! And thanks for watching! We do have out-of-state, and international patients, if that works for you.
Thanks how can I access your treatment or supplies as I am overseas in the Pacific?
Hi@@margaretmairi7927,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration has to be done in one of our locations in New York City, Long Island, or Virginia. 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.
I am going to submit a form(including with pictures of my head) to your site soon for a consultation! Really hope it could help me to regrow my hair!)
That's great, Tigran Sargsyan. I hope to hear from you soon so we can help you with that.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks for your reply! Yes, will definitely do so soon!
You need to open a facility in Texas!!
Thank you for the recommendation! We have had many patients from Texas coming to New York or Virginia from around the country and around the world for the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration 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 New York or Virginia. Many patients actually get back on the plane or train, or drive back home the same day as treatment, but to be sure you could do this for a flight, I would assess your general health condition first. Some patients with advanced hair loss may get a second treatment 15-24 months after the first, which is done at no additional charge, and results for out of state patients are monitored through Skype, FaceTime, or email follow up.

Hi Elena Garcia,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I would have to diagnose the cause of your hair loss first before treatment, but it can be done right before treatment. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat hair thinning caused by female pattern hair loss/ androgenetic alopecia, why our treatment is an alternative to minoxidil that works better, and why you won't need to use minoxidil after our treatment, and why DHT-blockers are not recommended for women: ruclips.net/video/2WhELyekG4A/видео.html

Hi thanks for explaining things in a better way. I am 43 years old. I’m having curly hair. I have problem of baldness. I recently observed I am getting the same pattern as my dad. Is there any age restriction for your treatment to work. I live in St. Louis in Missouri.
Hi @IntotheWildscape,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment actually works better for men who have later onset of genetic pattern hair loss as they are not as sensitive to DHT, and their hair loss pattern is not as aggressive. Many of our male patients with later onset can also sustain the results of our treatment without finasteride because they are not as DHT-sensitive as young men who have an early onset, although finasteride is still recommended for many older male patients. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How does this treatment compare to the Autologous follicular stem cell therapy treatment where they mix PRP with the the cells obtained from hair follicles?
Hi Thaer Qasem,
Autologous follicular stem cell therapy is still under research, so it's not available for people to use, so visible results on trial candidates are limited. On the other hand, our treatment has been available to patients since 2011, and we have patient data showing its effectiveness for 3-5 years, or even more with only 1-2 treatment sessions. You can see more results throughout our videos on this playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLXvIZUTvI_69-iS1-e5524vzzokJcWWtc
Hi doctor,
Hope your keeping yourself well and staying safe.
I have been doing PRP for a while and taking tablets as supplements for couple of years.
Will it be advisable to go for stem cell or Hair-transplant itself, since the density I was actually expecting is not achieved yet,
Can you please suggest which would be better for getting the best result with least side effects possibly.
Im 29 actually nearing 30
Regard’s
Arun
Hi Arun kumar,
I would normally recommend TrichoStem Hair Regeneration, with daily finasteride for male pattern hair loss at your age, for maximum hair density and thickness. The actual incidence of side effects with finasteride is very rare. You can refer to these videos about the importance of finasteride, how we can go beyond finasteride alone in hair thickness, and the differences of TrichoStem Hair Regeneration from PRP alone:

8:35 Is this patient on any supportive drug such as finestride or minoxidil?
Hi Bhagwat Sharnagati,
None of our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients need to use minoxidil after the injection treatment. Our male patients with high DHT-sensitivity do need to use finasteride after the injection treatment for maximum benefits, and longevity of treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD How would you access the DHT sensitivity?
Hi@@bhagwatsharnagati4967,
Generally, the earlier the onset of male pattern hair loss, and the more aggressive the hair thinning, then the higher the DHT-sensitivity. Men with pattern hair loss in their 20s and 30s have a higher DHT-sensitivity than men whose hair starts to thin in their 40s or older. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thanks for info. Us viewers would greatly appreciate if you include medication info along with results.
Hi@@bhagwatsharnagati4967,
Patients on finasteride are usually indicated in the before and after pictures. The particular one you are asking about had a later onset/less aggressive pattern, so his DHT-sensitivity is not so acute. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hello Doctor Prasad, are you saying that I can't have a procedure of Acell in your clinic based on the statements made by the FDA?
Hi Abdisalam Abdi,
You can have the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment because it only uses stem cells contained in PRP, which is derived from the patient's own blood. Extracellular matrix does not contain stem cells, but when used with our treatment it stimulates adult stem cells from within your own body. I hope this clarifies things for you.
With respect what are the cost please
Hi @patrickmccready6051,
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 contact our offices or our websites for a price range.
Our offices are located in the US in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Hi doc!
I'm a 20 years old and about 10 months ago had a HT of 3000 graphs .But I didn't see ANY improvment of my density,also I ve taken finasteride these months . What I wanted to ask is if at this stage PRP would have an effect on my transplated hair ,making waking it up or something like that ? I must point out that the clinic at which I ve had the ht didn t do a prp to me ... so that's what made me thinking about it.
Hi Costache Paul Eduard,
Sorry if you were misinformed by your surgeon, but you had a hair transplant far too young because you are losing hair faster than a transplant can keep up with. Hair transplantation, even with finasteride, PRP, and other treatments at your age cannot give you the hair density of your peers who don't have high scalp DHT-sensitivity and early onset of male pattern hair loss. You can refer to these videos about why hair transplants are not advised at your age, and how additional treatment can help improve your results, but they still won't give you the hair density of most men in their 20s:

Hi doc, I’m just 20yrs old! And I have already lost a lot hair around my crown area, I did prp back in 2019 but I didn’t get any good results! I have consulted with many doctors, dermatologists, hair specialists but they didn’t find any reason for this, most probably it’s because of genetics. The problem has become more complicated now, and I’m almost bald. So what do you prefer for me? Stem cell therapy or hair transplant? Which is gonna have more longer and permanent effects?
Hi @nyematasnim4451,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Pattern hair loss is a genetic condition hardwired into the DNA, so it can be managed to thicken thinning hair, and maximize scalp coverage, but it can't be completely stopped, or permanently cured. 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, and many older TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity as TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration™ is not a DHT-blocker. 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. You can refer to these videos about the differences between TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration from PRP alone, and how we treat crown hair thinning:

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.

Hi,
I generally don't recommend treatments that are not proven clinically. The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video has 12 years of clinical results, with over 99% of patients seeing a visible increase in scalp coverage, with only 1-2 treatment sessions needed, and results lasting 3-5 years, or even longer. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Are the before and after photos just this as a monotherapy? Or are they also using things like finasteride and minoxidil?
Hi Dave,
It depends on the individual patient, but young men with early onset of pattern hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity are prescribed finasteride as part of the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment plan for best results, and maximum longevity of the injection treatment. You can refer to these other videos on the importance of finasteride, and how we can help male patients already on finasteride to increase hair thickness and scalp coverage:

Grade 6 baldness which option is better fut n fue combo with beard hair or DHT with beard hair please reply ASAP want unbiased opinion
Hi Karan,
A proper medical opinion requires an examination of your scalp, and to see if your thinning hair can be thickened non-surgically instead, as thinning hair is more numerous, and more densely placed than hair transplants can achieve.
I don't perform or recommend beard hair as donor hair, as the extraction of these hairs will leave scars on your face. I hope this clarifies things for you.

"Stem cell therapy" is too general a term to comment about specifically. Genetic pattern hair loss doesn't have a cure, but it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, scalp coverage, and hair growth. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/B035EcHqllY/видео.html
Hello Dr, I am aware after a hair transplant that it is advised to not engage in sexual activity post op however there are mixed messages around masturbation - Can the grafts be affected due to masturbation and if so when would you say it would be safe? Thanks
Hi Adam White,
You should consult your surgeon as there are variables in your personal level of exertion, where you are in your healing process or the way you heal if haven't had surgery yet, concurrent medical conditions that may affect healing, and how your transplant surgery was performed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I don't have hair In my front and side since the day I born I don't know why but sir can I grow it back I m 16 years old .can we start treatment such as minoxidil at 16 years too ?
Hi Gaurav,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The cause of why you don't have hair in these areas needs to be properly diagnosed with an examination by an experienced doctor. However, treatments like minoxidil, and other hair loss treatments cannot induce hair growth in areas that never had hair. I suggest you see a doctor to examine why there was no previous hair growth in these areas. I hope this helps you.
Does this treatment work for beards?
Hi Modest Publican,
The TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment is for thickening thinning hair due to pattern hair loss. Genetic pattern hair loss does not affect beard growth. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I have done 2 sessions of PRP but hasn't worked, maybe needs more time?
Hi Nish G,
It is normal for PRP alone to take several treatment sessions. I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth.

You said it's a one time treatment(plus possible booster 15-24 months after) that lasts for years, so after all those years would someone be able to undergo this regeneration treatment again, which would last for an additional 3-5 years?
Hi Can't think of a name,
Yes, we have treated patients 5 or 6 years, or even more after their first treatment, and their hair coverage and thickness still looked pretty good. It's important to remember that genetic pattern hair loss is hardwired into the DNA, so it can't be completely cured, but it can be managed to maximize hair thickness, and scalp coverage, so management is continual. Also, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment does not block DHT, so men with high DHT-sensitivity do need a DHT-blocker for maximum, and longest lasting results. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Sir for an example if a person had 10 years of only thyroid problem but didn't have any other problems related to hair and later if thyroid come to normal level will his hair regrow naturally? In my case I have thyroid problem from 6 years and there's very less density and hair thinning uniformly on scalp but hair line hasn't receded much (receding is almost negligible). I had Consulted with many doctors but all concluded by saying that without curing thyroid problem hair fall can't be treated Successfully. Now I am under thyroid treatment. Will hair regrow naturally or should it be treated after thyroid level is normal? And one more question can anyone being an expert doctor find the exact problem a patient is having related to hair fall if he meet doctor in person?
Hi shivraj kumar,
It is possible for hair to grow normally after treating a thyroid condition. However, it is possible to have thyroid-related hair loss, as well as genetic pattern hair loss at the same time. The only way to properly diagnose the cause or causes of your hair loss is by a physical examination by an experienced doctor. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Sir thanks for your reply! I still don't understand what exactly "genetic" problem is. Because in our family my father and my mother's father have and had full hairs on scalp (didn't have a bald spot) even at the age of 65! But only some members of our family are bald like my father's brothers and mother's father's sons. So if this is called genetic hair loss problem then most people in the world have atleast one bald people in their family for sure. So the word genetic hair loss doesn't exist or it's meaningless in my opinion.
You're welcome,@@shivrajkumar8086. You're right that the genes for pattern hair loss can come from several generations on both sides of your family. I know that bothers you somehow, but I still suggest you have it properly diagnosed by an experienced doctor so you can start additional treatment, if needed.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Sir thank you very much. Sir if you don't mind can you briefly explain what all you do to examine the scalp physically so that i will have some idea about it.
Hi@@shivrajkumar8086,
You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose, and treat male, and female pattern hair loss:

After so many years..there is no perfect solution for hair loss and regrowth..
Hi @ravebrave8866,
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 maximize hair thickness, and keep as much hair and scalp coverage as possible, for as long as possible. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/B035EcHqllY/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD my another question is why only crown hair or front hair is lost... but the side hair remains intact whats the reason behind this.
Hi@@ravebrave8866,
Hair at the sides of the head, and the lower part of the back of the head are genetically resistant to the effects of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), so even the baldest men have a surrounding rim of hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD ok so can more blood circulation over the top of the head by doing shirshasan help over come the DHT.
Hi@@ravebrave8866,
That would not work because DHT is in the bloodstream. DHT is a major factor in male pattern hair loss, but it's not the only factor. You can refer to these other videos on the factors of pattern hair loss in men; how we diagnose, and treat and male pattern hair loss:

I have a question dose the biotin supplement thicken the hair?
Hi Nero EN,
Biotin may help with hair growth, but thinning due to pattern hair loss is a genetic condition, not a nutritional one, so biotin is not a treatment for thinning hair. I made this recent video about it, for your reference - ruclips.net/video/kbs7Zh02NkU/видео.html
Hello doctor just a quick question, I’ve had a hair transplant 3 months ago and I had 2 prp sessions in the last 2 months and recently I’ve been having a lot Shedding, more than usual I know it can happen when new hair is growing but my question is, if I take finasteride or minoxidil or the combination or the 2 will it boost the already growing hair or will it cause more shedding to my scalp?
Ps Thank you for your videos forever grateful for the content and information you provide
Hi Sofiane Belbrik,
Treatment is still needed after a hair transplant as transplants don't treat progressive hair thinning at all, which your transplant surgeon should have discussed with you. Finasteride is important before and after a hair transplant to block DHT to slow hair thinning, but minoxidil has a limited effect. You can refer to these videos about it:
ruclips.net/video/rIlI55F478w/видео.html

Hi Dr Prasad, thank you for your great content - I had a hair transplant in the UK and on the 6th day post op I accidentally tapped the sun-visor in my car in the recipient area - Could you confirm if my grafts will be fully ok or could this have damaged any of them? There was no bleeding at all, the area looks the same and it was more of a light tap than a hard bang. Many thanks!
Hi Jason W,
Thank you for watching! It is highly unlikely that a tap to the scalp will cause any graft loss, as grafts are usually firmly in place 48-72 hours after transplant surgery that a surgical instrument is needed to dislodge them. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/K-t6Eu1McJU/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you!
You're welcome,@@jasonw9587

Would doing a Stem cell transplant autologous with prp in as well be best than using just prp?
Hi @thestork2210,
Autologous stem cells can come from a number of different cells, so it's not a uniform procedure. The limits of different stem cell procedures are detailed in the video.
Our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment recruits your own adult stem cells for a healthier hair growth cycle to thicken thinning hair, and save hair follicles from miniaturizing. You can refer to this video on the differences between our treatment, and PRP alone - ruclips.net/video/vZAGaAssewY/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you for the reply.
The stem cells or Autologous stem cells I was referring to do come from the patient's own stem cells not otherwise, or, you adding any other components to your TrichoStem formula?
Hi@@thestork2210,
Autologous means the patient is the same as the donor, but it's vague as to what specific stem cells are used in the procedure. Most often, "stem cell" treatments are fat grafting, or stem cells from fat, as detailed in the video.
TrichoStem Hair Regeneration contains a little of the patients' own stem cells that are in PRP, so PRP alone can be classified as a stem cell treatment. However, PRP is not the main ingredient, and the formulation with extracellular matrix does recruit the patients' own adult stem cells called progenitor cells in the healing process, which in turn restarts a healthier hair growth cycle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Forgive me for asking again one last question. Would using The Autologous added to a PRP solution be of any benefit along with the hair transplant or PRP would be enough?
Hi@@thestork2210,
The video is about stem cell treatments, including "autologous stem cells", being vague. Stem cell treatments are only effective if they are proven in clinical use, so ask your doctor about seeing both short-term, and long-term results, usually in before and after pictures. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How many cost sir please tell me?
Hi Nuruddin Ahmed,
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 contact our offices or our websites for a price range.
Our offices are located in the US in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877; Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636; or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1336.

Hi sir iam ganesh when i was 18 yrs old and 7 months i started taking my first finasterade pill. Now iam on the month 6 near to month 7.still iam loosing a tons of thin vellus hairs everywhere is 6 months enough for Finasterade 1 mg / day to work. Can stress also cause this kind of hair loss all the hairs that iam loosing is miniaturized small hairs. My condition is excatly same as when i started finasterade the hairline the vertex area there is no more profession of scalp visibility but the hair is still thinning out.
Another question
Iam just 19 years old. I hit puberty sure but i've read that during late adolescent period from 18 - 21 dht is needed for physical maturation. Including muscle devolopment and facial hair devolopment. I got upper muscles but beared is not fully devolped. So my question is will this finasterade drug permanently kills the beared potential. Is there any rule that if finasterade is taken from the age group of 18 - 21 then the door close and willn't be able to devolop a beared in future.
Do i need to reduce the dose of finasterade for leaving the way for dht to act on physical maturation if it isn't completed.
Hi ganesh,
First of all, finasteride is a prescription medication, so you should only be taking it with a doctor's prescription. A doctor knows that a DHT-blocker like finasteride should not be prescribed to patients who are too young due to the importance of DHT for male physical development. 18-years-old is the minimum age I prescribe finasteride to my patients.
Some men taking finasteride do experience a temporary increase in hair shedding, which can last up to 6 months when use is first started.
I don't see finasteride hindering beard growth in my patients.
If you have concerns about finasteride, you should be asking the doctor who prescribed it to you as they determined if it was needed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD hair is loosing a lot sir all those hairs are small miniaturised hairs can this hair shedding last more than 6 months. Which month is the deadline.
@@ganesh4044 now what?
Hello Dr. I did my hair transplant from turky before 10 months. The first 4 months was so good hair were growing and no hairfall . but from 6th month extreme hair fall started. and it is still now going on. i discussed wth my turkish dr they dont help so much. i am using minoxidle spray and xpecia tablet. i dont know nobody tells me clearly what exactly is the problem.. i feel minoxidil spray is causing my hair fall . but some says minoxidil dont make hair to fall . please i need your help
Hi Mubeen Afzal,
It could be due to minoxidil as minoxidil delays normal hair shedding, so if you stop using it, or if it loses effectiveness, you can have significant hair shedding.
Hair transplants do not treat progressive hair thinning due to male pattern hair loss, so you need additional treatment like a proven DHT-blocker like finasteride to slow hair thinning, and the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video to thicken thinning hair. Supplements like Xpecia are not replacements for finasteride. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Dear Dr. Thanks for your feedback. Should i keep using minoxidil (regain) spray or should stop using it. because i feel like when i use it continuously 3 to 4 days my hairs gets so much dry with dandruff and patches on head hairs are like falling that they are just hanging with head like extreme level falling. thats why i use it with the gap of 2 to 3 days. but that also does not help. and now my head is clearly visible day to day like getting empty. please help me, how to use it or should i stop using it , should i use another alternative that atleast stops my hairfall . my turkish dr says he can offer me a free transplant again because of this hairloss. should i go for it 2nd transplant ? i am also worried about this. it seems like I wasted 2000 euros on transplant. . please suggest
Hi@@mubeenafzal7471,
While minoxidil is not a necessity, you need treatment after a hair transplant for progressive hair thinning, and that should at least be a prescription DHT-blocker like finasteride, and not supplements that are not regulated like pharmaceuticals.
I can't recommend further transplantation to you without knowing your details, especially your age. You an refer to these videos on why multiple hair transplants don't mean better coverage, why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, why hair transplants are not advised for men under 30, and how we improve hair transplant results without further surgery:

You're welcome,@@mubeenafzal7471. You can have your transplant surgeon send you a prescription for finasteride. You are little too young still to have had a transplant, which you could watch the video about that I sent you.
Is this stem cell therapy works for grade 7 baldness
Hi Abhilash n,
We would need to examine your scalp in consultation to determine if you are a candidate for treatment. Generally, the treatment works on existing thinning hair, and bald areas of scalp that have not grown hair for less than 5 years as the follicles are dormant, but not completely miniaturized. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor
I noticed my small hairs(newly growing hairs) started to fall does that mean I'm going bald in just 17
Hi Vishal V,
I hope you understand that I can't make a diagnosis from a brief description. A proper scalp examination would be needed to determine if you have actively thinning hair. I hope this helps you.
I lost my hair crown area and hairline and overall thining as well? I'm 2p years old!
Hi@@sultanzamin6310,
Sorry to hear that. You do need a proper examination before you can start treatment. You can refer to these videos on how we diagnose and treat pattern hair loss in men, and the factors of pattern hair loss in men:

Hi sir I am just 15year old and have androgenetic alopecia
Every man in my family is bald
Want should I do
Hi Rengoku Op,
15 is generally too young for androgenetic alopecia, so I suggest you have your scalp examined by an experienced local dermatologist first for a proper diagnosis before you consider treatment. The usual first treatment for male pattern hair loss is the prescription DHT-blocker finasteride, but the minimum age for a prescription is 18, as DHT is important for male physical development at your age. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you sir
You're welcome,@@rengokuop8486
If I start using minoxidil again will it work like it did before?
Hi King Dass,
It is possible, but it also possible that it won't as minoxidil does lose effectiveness with time. You can refer to this video about the limitations of minoxidil - ruclips.net/video/sv82XSpQfnI/видео.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you so much 🥰 looking forward to more of your videos

Isn’t traction alopecia reversible in the early stages? It’s only permenant after years??
Hi Dennis Guilder,
Traction alopecia does get worse with time due to prolonged tension on hair follicles. Traction alopecia is an entirely preventable condition if it's due to tight hairstyles. It isn't certain that it is reversible in early stages as level tension can vary, as well as the individual's ability to recover from the tension. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks! But for it to be irreversible the follicles would have to be scarred. Is this correct?
Hi@@dennisguilder1,
The hair follicles need to be intact, and not severely damaged from tension to be able to recover. Scarring is a different condition in hair loss, as it usually refers to skin or autoimmune conditions that cause hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Does this treatment help with traction alopecia?
Hi@@marriejames01,
While we have successfully treated patients who have pattern hair loss and traction alopecia concurrently, the TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment cannot revive hair follicles that have been permanently damaged by the constant tension of traction alopecia. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Great sir

Hi Saif Ali,
That's too general a question to answer as there are several types of artificial stem cells in development, or in clinical use for different therapies. You would have to ask a doctor who uses specific artificial stem cells for a specific area of treatment. I hope this helps you.
Hello Doc,
I am 29 years old, my hair loss begun in 2014 and by 2021 I lost around 25% hairs mainly from temples and one line cross the mid frontal part. I started Minoxidil+finasteride solution, back in Feb 2021, and after using it consistently for one year, I got almost 30-40% lost hairs back(surprising, but true). But those gained hairs were not as strong the existing ones. So I decided to get a hair transplant, had it 4 days back. So my question now is that, do I need to continue minoxidil+finasteride 5% topical solution? Also, would oral finasteride thicken the hairs which are naturally thin by birth(which is case for me)? And lastly, what do you think about new hair growth formulation like Redensyl, procapil, anagain, caprixyl etc??
Hi Pep Singh,
You did get a hair transplant at a younger age than I would recommend, but you still need treatment after a hair transplant for progressive hair thinning. No treatment can make hair thicker that it ever was, but our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment can make thinning hair due pattern hair loss thicker.
I only prescribe oral finasteride to my male patients, and not topical, as blocking DHT-formation is more effectively done systemically rather than just topically at the scalp. I don't find any of the other hair formulations you mentioned to be effective. Finasteride is primarily for slowing thinning hair. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant; how we can improve hair thickness in men already taking finasteride; and why our TrichoStem Hair Regeneration patients don't need minoxidil, other topical treatments, and other drugs or supplements other than finasteride after our treatment:
