IM TALKING ABOUT THE WORST KIND UNIVERSALIS

[samlammd]

@xBMD1 i thought you were referencing alopecia areata. unfortunately, universalis is not amenable to a transplant since 1) you have no donor hair and 2) grafts would not take anyway. i am sorry about that. i wish i could help.

[xBMD1]

i have alopecia will this work...?

[samlammd]

@xBMD1 alopecia just means baldness so yes. unless you mean a specific type of alopecia like alopecia areata (won't work for that).

Does the procedure leave scaring on the scalp

[samlammd]

@WayneDavisRocks no, because these are micro punches. :)

[samlammd]

@krabhole no, worrying about it won't lead to hair loss. best wishes.

[krabhole]

@samlammd ok. So i'll justs wait till all falls out then ill get the procedure done. I hope worrying about that so early in life doesnt bring on the loss of my hair lol. Thank you doctor for your time. :)

[samlammd]

@krabhole shampoo really won't make a big difference to be honest with you.

[krabhole]

@samlammd My hair isnt falling as yet, the corners of my head like the places near the temple, and in the middle of my head, the hair feels rough and its thin. Its been like that for as long as i can remember. I'm thinking that is the hair that is going to fall out. I always thought of the creams and shampoo and what not, but i found the surgery. If it cant happen, can the shampoo help? and can i start using it now to prevent hairloss?
