Senior Member Jotronic Posted December 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2011 A few years ago a television crew from the CBC came to our clinic for a piece they were doing about hair loss myths and they asked us to go on camera to discuss what people think about hair loss and what causes it. Dr. Hasson had some free time so he was able to answer some of the basics on air. Check it...

Regular Member Travis1 Posted February 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi all, I'm doing my homework for HT right now, one query that I would like to ask - Does stress contribute to hairloss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutch Posted February 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hello. How much stress would you need to go through to have hairloss though. I don't think so, you'd need something huge to may contribute causing this. It's genetic. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Travis1 Posted February 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 Along the lines of going through college, I'm not sure that can be attributed to genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted February 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 ^ exactly. Stress can cause hair loss. But not all hair loss is created equal, and stress isn't likely to be contributing to the type of hair loss you're concerned with. MPB -- hairloss that's tethered to your genetic inclinations toward the balding you'll experience, barring meds like Propecia, Rogaine, or hair transplantation -- is really just MalePatternBaldness, and being the most stress-free person in the world ain't going to save you DHT is where it's at -- which is what meds like Propecia try to halt in its place, and thus halt your hairloss/MPB. In my experience, the most that stress can really do to you, is perhaps in extreme circumstances cause an acceleration of your MPB -- eg, already miniaturized hairs, may fall to their death a it sooner than they otherwise would. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Regular Member Travis1 Posted February 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi there, Thank you for your comments.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted February 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've seen a woman with stress lose a lot of hair make no mistake stress does cause hairloss but not the type we're interested in the woman in question regrew most of her hair back without meds but it never looked as good with regards to quality. Severe stress with mpb would be very bad news. 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...
Regular Member jmghair Posted February 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has Dr. Hasson ever considered a hair transplant himself? I noticed he has some recession and thinning. I would imagine that it would not be difficult for a man of his status in the community to get great work done easily. With the advances of technology it is almost undetectable. I wonder what his personal reasons are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted February 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2012 I thought about asking him that yesterday but thought better of it! All he would have to do is go next door and let Dr Wong do it. Maybe he's not bothered his hair looks great for his age anyway.

Regular Member Veritas84 Posted March 2, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2012 Curious, I've read some websites that mentioned about sebum plugs that "suffocate" and eventually cause hair follicles to fall off, is this statement valid?

Senior Member MrJobi Posted March 4, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2012 I love hearing all of the rationalization of what causes hairloss ( from the average Joe). I myself had this thought process and really stuggled with these crazy thoughts JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
