hair/scalp analysis with hair restoration doctors using microscopes?
Knowing asked:
genetic hairloss runs in my father’s side of the family (father/uncle) so I decided to seek a hair restoration surgeon to check the health of my hair. Aside from a small recession in the front, I still have a full head of hair, however, this doctor used some microscope to check my scalp and it showed some of the hairs were miniaturizing. He prescribed some drug called finasturide 5mg and said it was probably genetic loss since I told him it ran in my dad’s family. I look in the mirror and I still have a full head of hair, so I don’t think I buy into what this doctor says. My dermatologist says as we age, we all miniaturize, it is just part of getting older and if I don’t show any visible signs I should be ok. I don’t think I’m going to take this medication for life per that hair surgeon’s advice just because I have a full of head of hair right now. What do you think?
