Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted August 4, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 No. If you have alopecia areata you are most likely not a candidate for hair transplantation because it could come back sporadically over many years. This is something that needs to be looked at by a dermatologist. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own. Dr. Robert True and Dr. Robert Dorin are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted August 4, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 If your hair grows back then the follicles are not dead so if you transplant into this area they will transect the sleeping follicles killing them and ultimitely have your new ht grafts fall out too. Basically it's completely pointless! Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years. Also I don't use minoxidil anymore I lost no hair coming off it. Reduced propecia to 1mg every other day. My surgeons were Dr Hasson x 4, Dr Wong x 2 Norton x1 I started losing my hair at 19 in 1999 I started using propecia and minoxidil in 2000 Had 7 hair transplants over 12200 grafts by way of strip but 700 were Fue From Norton in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
