Reader Says — Patents Stop Innovation

This is a comment left by a reader in response to Propecia being under patent protection…

And that is exactly why we need to see the end of Patent laws as we know them today, companies are given way too much time to bleed us. Its evil. Especially when medication has been Government funded or approved.

The real issue is that patents stop other companies from innovating. In fact while I’m thinking about, we should all be lobbying against the company that tried to sue … [visit site to read more]

Is Toppik Causing My Hair Loss to Speed Up?

I have used the “cover-up” product, Toppik, for a couple of years with pretty good results. I have recently read — albeit online, so of course I am quite guarded in my reaction — that there is aluminum in this keratin fiber product which may actually clog pores and cause or speed up hair loss/miniaturization. While I have continued to thin in the front and temples where I use the product, I atrributed that to the progress of MPB, not this product. Do you have thoughts on this? Do … [visit site to read more]

My Hair Looks Worse After Each Transplant!

Doctor,

I started noticing hair loss around the age of 26. I tried the laser for a year and did not believe it worked and took propecia, but felt that did not provide help either. In 2009 I decided to have a hair transplant surgery 2,000 hairs. 1,000 in the front and 1,000 in the back.

After the transplant I began finasteride and rogaine to maintain the amount. I was so happy after the first 6 months, until I started noticed thinning in the front again. Everytime I go to the … [visit site to read more]

Making Sense of Hair Loss Drug Stats

Dr. Rassman, you have said before that minoxidil works for about half of men. The box says that minoxidil has only been proven to work for men experiencing hair loss at the apex/top of head and not for men that are balding from the front. Are these clinical studies made up of men that are already “good candidates”, meaning they have the right kind of balding for the drug to work? Or are all types of balding patterns included in the trials?

I am 34 years old, been on … [visit site to read more]
