No Medication, No Hair Transplant? | The Hair Loss Show 

Thank you so much, guys! Could you do a video on Pyrilutamide? It's a new promising topical androgen receptor antagonist developed in China, and it would be interesting to hear your opinion on it.

These guys are giving advice that would result in less business for themselves. That's how you know that it's the truth.

This channel is the most authentic source of information regarding hair loss.It's great to see both of you together again.

Its so funny that even Vikram Jayaprakash himself cannot pronounce his name correctly 🤣

Yay Welcome back Knudsen! the one two punch of hairloss. ty

Thoughts on Pyrilutamide?

I started the 1 mg finasteride 3X a week, minoxidil 1X daily and microneedling every week, i grown my hair back to a presentable level and greatly reduced hair loss and further micronization of my hair, thanks you.

Vikram looks rejuvenated with Dr. Knudsen back in action

Can the further hair loss be _filled_ with beard or body hair? Would this be a solution to those not wishing to use medication?

Is finasteride dosing every dependent on patient height/weight? Or these are non-factors?

Russell isnt part of the team on your website? Is he a consultant?

Sir, I have a question....There is no cure of MPB only because hair loss industries are only willing to get profit from us by selling products for long term ?

so idk if it’s just me thinking too much but what about ball ache that comes and goes every so often . been on finasteride for a year and i’ve been balding since 16 and i’m 19 almost 20 taking 1mg a day .

Doctor what about side effects of medicine ? What is least case and worst case. This video address the uneven pattern of hair in future if medication is stopped. What is sacrifice one need to make, like side effect of medicine which could affect organs in long run. Could you please explain in detail in new video. Thanks for enlighting us.

Hey. I know you guys have done separate videos on minoxidil and finasteride. But i really want to ask that as doctors can you really, in absolute good faith, say that they aren't potentially dangerous medications. Reports say that Minoxidil is a mitogen and has the capacity to induce cancer in mice and yes obviously mice because you can't do that kind of a study on humans. And even over a long term cancer can be attributed to a hundred different causes so one can always turn back and say well we don't think Minoxidil caused it but what if it did. Is it too much of a risk you are taking? I am on Min 5% for 3 months now and have a lot of scalp irritation but more than that there is a tingling in my fingers post application and slight numbness. I have also experienced some amount of ED for the first time ever in my life in the last 3 months and i am not saying there is a direct cause effect relationship that i can establish but i can't think of any other reason that may be causing it. And no it's not in my head that's causing the ED because during the act minoxidil and its effects are obviously farthest from my mind right. So i want to just know, hand over heart, would you apply it yourself for say 10-20 years or advise it to your near and dear ones. I would love to get an answer.

Hello guys, Had a transplant with 33y. Now its nearly 2 Years after. I take finasteride AND minoxidil. But the great result after 9-12 month is getting worse and worse. Any recommendations?

I got the results I wanted and did sudden withdrawal from Minoxidil but I notice my Blood pressure increased this was not there before I started this? Is it temporary? My dermatologist said I need to tapper it off.... Is this possible effect post-withdrawal of minoxidil ?

One of the best channels out there regarding hair loss! Keep up the good work!

hair transplant without Propecia is not fixing the problem

Im 34 I want my forelock and hairline topped up - I don’t want drugs though - I think my hair loss has stabilised - is this a big risk if I go without ??

Let's not forget the use of hair fibers as temporary fix

Hair loss is tough. I hope to find more peace with the process as time unfolds. I really appreciate the information this channel provides.

Too bad that about The Edge. Always assumed the story there was him self conscious about natural loss and not hiding an unnatural loss pattern. Heed the advice given on this channel is my takeaway.

It is the great source of information on hair loss. Thanks for this channel. Special gratitude from Uzbekistan

I’ve been on fin and Minox for multiple years and am still loosing ground. Even tried dut. Does this mean I’ll never be a candidate?

hello docs, great to see you guys back. i m 18 and have just been prescribed oral fin (didn't see any results with topical). People like me who start the progression of hair loss in their teens, what does your exp say, will fin be enough for guys like me.(I know its individual thing, but what are the chances.) And how long should I wait before accessing the results, that whether its working or not? Thanks for the kind work that you guys do.

Please can you do a video on mesotherapy?

Is it possible to make a hair transplant look natural if the person is not willing to take medication? As the native hair continues to fall out, it will create patches of transplanted hair in various areas on the head, but is it possible to avoid the obvious patches of transplanted hair, and focus on the front/hairline, while trying to keep the top of the head covered with a sufficient density, and have it look natural? I guess it depends on the donor area, right?

I cannot have meds due to side effects, I tried them. I’m 35 and this video explains perfectly what I needed to know before I had my first transplant. I’m thinking of going for a second on my crown as I’m thinning and where I had the hairline done it’s left the island effect. I’m not completely bald yet but my family history they’re all bald and I will be too. It’s just taking a while. But do I go for a second procedure to even out the whole of my head so I’m not left with a strip at my front??

hi doc any chance you can talk about hair loss due to folliculitis? what treatment plans are effective for this condition?

Hello Doctors, thanks a lot for the really informative sessions. Can you also please touch on Acell+PRP treatments in your session? Thanks a lot in advance.

Can you do a vid on PRP please

We need episode about implanting grafts for natural hairline 😊

what about if you have A SUPER THIck DONOR AREA??

What about SMP and body hair / beard hair into the crown? I agree that donor grafts should be reserved for the hairline and mid scalp region but I think there’s various ways to give the illusion of density in the crown area without implanting normal hair grafts.

When you choose the "lifetime" option and realize you also need a subscription.

God bless you guys, thanks for everything and please keep going!

Hello, I had a hair transplant 2500 grafts so only front area of head. My dad also have lost frontal area a little bit and thats it. Should I drink forever multivitamins and biotin? And is transplanted hair pernament? Thank you.

" just medicate if you don't care about hair when u are 40 " I dont think that applies to someone who is nw 2 or 3 and wants his hairline restored ; as these guys said ; no drug can bring back hair in bald area ; only preserve existing hair What if i am not happy with the existing hair and want my hairline to become normal atleast for the prime years of my life i.e 25 to 35

In the past you guys have said finasteride has a half-life in the tissues of 30 days, where does this number come from? What study? I can't find any studies which state this.

So many sides for us

im currently dealing with alopecia. dermatologist prescribed minoxidil 5% 2x daily…i feel like just keeping a short cut instead

Please tell the average time when should a patient with progress male pattern hair loss already on medication should ideally have to go for surgical hair restoration.

No medication = No hair

Sir make video on double crown cowlick with full information. And how to style hair

How many milligrams does a 0.3% finasteride spray equate to?

Hi dr vikram, I have had a hair transplant 7 weeks ago but I am experience a lot redness/small lumps and bumps around the donor area at night time there has been a little bit of blood probably from when I’ve had itchness then scratched it. They advise me to apply bepatham but doesn’t seem to do much I went overseas for this transplant so it’s a long way to go back. Update I have been prescribed a 7 days of flucloxacillin 500mg 4 times per day which also seem to not of worked What is your advice

Yes but those medications affects males fertility . This is crucial side effect

Hello Doctors! Please can you tell me who is best to diagnose hair loss condition? Dermatologists or trichology? Thank you.

Been on the fence about this for a while... medication doesn't seem worth it. I would rather shave my head.. then to lose my sex drive.

Can you do a video on DUPA hairloss

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Doctors, does finasteride lose effectiveness over time?

Welcome back fantastic duo!

No creo que los doctores cirujanos capilares en general sean muy objetivios en cuanto a la toma de medicación como finasteride, ya que esta es esencial para su trabajo, tanto a nivel de consultas ) tratamiento como en .caso de potenciar los resultados de sus intervenciones capilares. Por ellos siempre van a recomendar la toma de finasteride independientemente de sus posibles efectos secundarios. El negocio es el negocio

Thank both Dr so so much !

It's great to see you again! I love your vids and they helped tremendously! If I would like to get a hair transplant, I would save money to get my butt from Slovakia (central Europe) to get to you and have it done in there! Also I have couple of questions, that almost nobody seems to be talking about. 1. Vitamin D - There was a research done on people and they seem to figured out why alopecia happens in the first place. Once they have given daily supplement of Vitamin D to the people who have suffered from alopecia, their balding stopped or slowed. The theory is that our body wants priortize sunlight to get vitamin D which is more important to the body than hair itself. What's your opinion on it and for which type of alopecia do you think it can be helpful, is it just androgenic alopecia that it can be helpful for or even the alopecia like I have which is caused by autoimmune disorder, and all my hair from top to bottom is falling out, meaning hair on head, eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, and the whole body hair like chest, back, arms, legs etc.. To me it seems like it's true my eyebrows and eyelashes get more thicker during summer, so is it because of the sunlight or is it just the heat that makes them more relaxed, so they are more visible? 2. Vitamin A, E and Zinc - Are these also helpful? Vitamin A and Zinc are also part of our immune system just like Vitamin D, so are they any helpful against balding? And also vitamin E is a great antioxidant, so can combination of vitamin A, D, E and zinc help? I was thinking about buying supplement of daily maximum dose of these vitamins and they have vitamin K also there which helps reducing calcification of vitamin D in the body. And also what kind of intake of these vitamins and mineral should I get? Should I get checked by doctors to see whether I am deficient in some vitamins or zinc? 3. Also how long should I use minoxidil 5% as a 25 year old man before I can see any results? Is it in the range of 6months and 2years? The question is how long people should use it before they can safely assume that it's not for them, because they have no benefit from it, whether it's stopping the balding, regrowing the hair or making the hair thicker? Thank you in advance if you will take portion of your time to respond! ❤️ Wishing you only health and success!

Great info.

Well done gentlemen.

Greetings doctors, a question that is bugging me. You mentioned that you suggest 3mg per week of finasteride. That means 12mg of finasteride per month, and per day that is 0.4mg per day for a month. I am pretty sure that you mentioned that 0.5mg daily is your suggested dosage. Could you kindly clarify me? I am taking right now 1mg every other day, but that is sometimes 3mg per week some times 4mg.

As you guys suggested before that 3x a week finasteride is enough. What are your thoughts on 3x a week of dutasteride (0.5)? Is it enough to halt hairloss?

How can I call your office? I have some questions.
