Senior Member LaserCap Posted June 11, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2019 It depends on a number of factors. Let's start with age. Many believe, the older you are, the safer you are. If you are young, and already experiencing loss, this will continue. Similarly, if you are experiencing retrograde, it is likely to continue as well. The question is, what exactly is going on back there. Is the patient losing from the top down as well? Medical therapy is a must. There is a company out there that carries a laser that covers the entire head. The unit actually drops down on the sides and covers the entire donor. If there is an improvement, move forward, (understanding that treatment needs to be continued - otherwise the benefit is lost. For the patient that is a lot older, experiencing some retrograde but has stopped advancing, the question, is there enough donor in the safe zone to make an impact? It is sad to think about all that suffer this in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 11, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have some minor retrograde alopecia, but haven't really had a negative impact thus far. I will say this, these past 5 years with hair have been amazing and i'm lucky that I am enjoying my hair at a relatively young age (34). I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
