    Although our patient I posted was slick bald on top, his bald area in the back (I just posted below) was relatively small. I would say he is a Norwood 6 with a good "run" of donor hair in the back. His donor characteristics were above average. We use a DermLite to help evaluate the donor and HairCheck to measure miniaturization.

    Just below the photo of the DermLite, I posted a couple of this patient's donor evaluation photos.

    Good run?! It's like a rug. Is there such thing as thinning donor? Only for people with poor health I think.

    I had a thinning donor back around 2004. It was a freaky awful nightmare. I was taking three medications that have a side effect of hair loss at the same time... Allegra, Ibuprofen, and glucosamine/chondroitin. Once I stopped and started using minoxidil my donor hair density improved quite a bit.
