Hair2012

Here is link will several testimony about BIFA https://www.amazon.com/forum/health?cdThread=Tx3KPQQ92HRAC3O

Harryforreal, let me know what he says. I had some grafts transplanted in the hairline area and it has been stable for 20+ years and it started receding in the last year or so. So I am wondering if 1) its the botox as the article indicates BIFA 2) or the transplanted hair that is thinning out over time (senescent alopecia).

This article was recently published in 2016. I did a Google search and the topic comes up in discussion forums. The last thing you want is to create another problem (hairline recession) while fixing one (forehead wrinkles). Anyone out there with knowledge on how to approach this and if its reversible if you stop the botox ?

Hi, I just came across this article (see link) and was wondering if anyone has heard or experienced this ? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5096242/ Is it reversible (non-scarring) or permanent (scarring)? If you stop the botox does the hair come back, if so how long does it take ? Is it preventable i.e. if you use a lower dose of botox or avoid injecting close to the hairline ? Are there any treatment modalities ? i.e. minoxidil 5%, PRP, Lasercomb, finasteride…..etc ? Any thoughts or comments ?

Hi, as anyone experimented with either drug for MPB ? They are used to treat Alopecia areata. They also inhibit PDG2 which was found by Dr. Cotsaris to be present in excess amount in male with hair loss.

I would tell them I want a refund and stand my ground. I would also go see a top FUE expert to get a second opinion. The redness in the front of your scalp is possibly a sign of infection and I would have it checked. If the FU were not harvested properly they could have been transected thus the reason you have poor growth.

Do you need to remove hair fibers at night or can you apply Rogaine foam over it ? I am ok with applying Rogaine foam first in the morning and then hair fibers but at night I don't want necessarily to wash my hair again. Any thoughts or comments ?

I used a caffeine shampoo for 3 monte (N2 shamppo) .It worked well for two months and after that I got red bumps all over my scalp and my hair started thinning. I was using it everyday but I believe it might be too harsh for daily use. It really stopped the shedding and was impressed but it seems that it stops woking after a while. Anyone care to share their experience with caffeine shampoo ?

Would SMP damage the FUE graft in the scar ?

Spex, I did 340 FUE into the scar about year ago with moderate growth . I am told that it usually takes two sessions into a scar to get good coverage. would there be any contraindication to do SMP before to get some coverage of the scar and do beard FUE into the scar afterwards ? Theses scars ar a significant problem as you get older and your rim hair thins.

If I were to combine SMP and FUE into scar. which should be done first ? My thought is SMP followed by FUE ? What do you think ?

Hi Ithought I would post the response I got from Spex. Hi, I had temp SMP with Milena Lardi back in June and no anaesthetic was used at all. The treatment was not painful at all even into the scar area. Shockloss has NOTHING to do with pain. It is associated to the amount of trauma the scalp and existing hair undergoes. Minoxidil is alcohol and one of the things recommended to avoid as can effect the pigment. It can certainly cause early fading of the temp SMP. Regards Spex

Thanks, did you get any shock loss ?

Thanks Spex, do you any recommandations in terms of places that do SMP in Canada close to Montreal,Quebec ? Does Dr. Feller do it. I have not seen before or after photos on is website ? Thanks

Hi, I am considering trying SMP to camouflage a strip scar. I called a few clinics and they seem to have different protocols concerning local anesthesia. Some use a topical cream , some give you an injection similar to what you get for a HT procedure, some say you don't need anything (which I doubt). I have two questions; 1) is this procedure painful and what is recommended in terms of anesthetics ? if the pain is reduced to a minim will that prevent surrounding hair shock loss ? 2) Does applying minoxidil after the procedure prevent potential hair shock loss ? Thanks
