Patients with DIFFUSE\u00a0 THINNING of the scalp hair, due to male pattern baldness or female pattern alopecia, may have already tried Rogaine\u00ae.\u00a0 Men may see some benefit on the posterior scalp with Propecia\u00ae \u2013 but must take this for the rest of their lives in order to maintain the growth.<\/p>\n

Now, with extensive micrografting utilizing microscopic follicular units containing 1-4 hairs each, we can prevent the visual appearance of baldness.\u00a0 The existing hairs are left undisturbed \u2013but the tiny bundles of follicular bulbs are meticulously inserted under magnification into tiny needle holes in between the patient\u2019s remaining scalp hairs.\u00a0 We can also recreate the \u201cwhorl\u201d on the posterior crown, and graft into areas of anticipated future thinning at the edges of the balding scalp.<\/p>\n

Micrografting is both an art and a science.\u00a0 Recently, the insertion of 1,720 micrografts took us 7 hours for the physician and four surgical assistants.\u00a0 We have performed over 1,500 grafts in a single session in a female with familial thinning, and over 1,800 micrografts in several men.\u00a0 However, the fruits of this labor are well worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Enclosed please find case studies of my patients with diffuse thinning of the scalp hair.\u00a0\u00a0 Patients may view more photos as www.coloderm.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
