Hair Transplant or Not???

[Follicle Death Row]

Well I guess there's a couple of aspects. Firstly as the temples tend to go first they could be slick bald by the time these treatments come out. Perhaps these treatements can't cause true follicular neogenesis or the remaining cells can't be reactivated, hence the lack of hair regrowth in this area and the need for transplantation in the hairline.

Secondly even if they can grow the hair back in this area there's a worry that it will be difficult to exert control of hair growth at the hairline and the transition between hair and forehead. Also there are some concerns that the precise angulation of the regrown hairs in the hairline might be slightly off and not resemble pre mpb thus giving a slightly erratic "off" look.

Of course this is just conjecture but the consensus seems to be that we may still need transplantation in the first cm of the hairline.

Hope that helps. Still everyone has a breaking point and if you really feel you can't wait much longer then hair transplantation may be for you.
