#facial hair transplant without testosterone

[transgenderteensurvivalguide]

Hello 🌼 I was thanking about facial hair. I'm AFAB. I don't plan on going on T (and I heard it can make you grow facial hair naturally?) but I still would want to grow a beard, or a mustache perhaps, in the future. Would hair transplant help me with that or would my hight estrogen/ lower testosterone make it not work out?

Lee says:

For folks who are unfamiliar, a facial hair transplant involves taking hair from a donor site on your body (usually the back of the head) and transplanting it to your facial region.

It's a common procedure for individuals who cannot grow facial hair naturally or who have patchy beards, and a beard transplant is a viable option for people who do not want testosterone, or were not happy with the amount of facial hair they grew on testosterone.

Transplanted hair behaves like natural hair. Once it's transplanted, it will fall out initially and then start to grow back over the next few months, eventually growing like regular facial hair, even if you're not on testosterone.

AnotherPascal has posted about his beard transplant on Instagram and TransLife&Wife has posted about his on YouTube.

There's an article about beard transplants for trans folks called Facial Hair Transplantation for Transgender Patients: A Literature Review and Guidelines for Practice that was published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2021. I believe it's open access and I would highly encourage you to read the whole thing!

Like natural facial hair, transplanted hair may require regular trimming or shaving, depending on your desired look.

Testosterone & facial hair:

However, as you've heard, testosterone can indeed stimulate facial hair growth, which is why individuals who take testosterone (T) may experience increased facial hair over time.

You mentioned you do not plan on taking T, which is perfectly valid, but if you think there's a chance that you may change your mind in the future then I would consider waiting for the facial hair transplant until you're at least a couple of years on T because it can take time for your facial hair to fill in.

If you choose to not take T and just go straight for the transplant, having higher levels of estrogen won't necessarily negate the effects of a hair transplant. The transplanted hair is genetically programmed to grow in its new location.

In theory, the lack of testosterone might mean that the hair grows less densely or slowly than it might for someone with higher testosterone levels, but I don't think that's necessarily the case here because the follicles being transplanted are from the head so they'd behave more like head hair than beard hair.

Finding a Trans-Friendly Provider (for a facial hair transplant):

If you're considering a facial hair transplant, the first step is to consult a doctor specializing in hair restoration. They can assess your hair quality, discuss your expectations, and determine whether you're a good candidate for the procedure.

Referrals: Consider asking for referrals from local LGBTQ+ groups, transgender support groups, or healthcare providers known to be trans-friendly.

Consultations: Schedule consultations with potential surgeons. Use this opportunity to ask about their experience with transgender patients and facial hair transplants specifically.

Online Research: Look for reviews or testimonials online. Some websites are dedicated to reviewing medical professionals, and others are focused on the LGBTQ+ community.

Professional Organizations: Check if the surgeon is a member of professional organizations like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which could indicate they're up-to-date on best practices for transgender healthcare.

Keep in mind that any surgical procedure comes with risks and costs. Ensure you're aware of these, and don't hesitate to seek a second opinion if you're unsure.

It might also be helpful to connect with others who have undergone similar procedures or are exploring similar options. Online communities, support groups, or LGBTQ+ centers can be great resources, but it isn't a very common procedure so you may have more look looking to cisgender men who have done similar things.

Facial hair transplants are often considered cosmetic procedures, which many insurance plans do not cover. However, coverage varies widely, so it's important to check with your insurance provider. It may be possible to appeal a denial for coverage by saying testosterone isn't indicated for you so this is a necessary treatment to resolve gender dysphoria etc.

If a procedure can be deemed medically necessary (for example, as part of gender-affirming treatment), insurance might cover it. A therapist might be able to help you make this case to your insurance company by writing a WPATH-style letter of support saying that you need it for Gender Dysphoria Reasons tm. It's also helpful if the office of the doctor doing the hair transplant writes a letter of medical necessity too.

Look for a surgeon who is board-certified in plastic surgery or dermatological surgery. This indicates they've met specific educational, training, and professional standards. It's also beneficial if the surgeon has experience with transgender patients, as they may be more attuned to your specific needs and goals, and may know how to get insurance to cover it.

It may seem obvious, but you have to make sure they have extensive experience with hair transplants, particularly facial hair transplants. Unfortunately some doctors are in it for the money and don't put patients first and/or think they're more capable than they are. To make sure they're up to the task, ask to see before and after photos of previous facial hair transplants they've performed, especially for patients with similar goals to yours.

And again, look for patient reviews or testimonials about their experiences with the surgeon. Pay particular attention to the experiences of trans individuals. I can't emphasize how important we are as a community-- we need to look out for each other and make sure that people don't see predatory providers!

Finally, it's crucial that you feel at least somewhat comfortable with the surgeon. They should treat you with respect, listen to your concerns, and provide thorough, honest answers to your questions. You don't need to be best buddies and they don't need a stellar personality either, but you need to feel like they're competent and that you are comfortable asking them questions about your care and could speak to them if you had complications.

While you wait for your consult, there is one alternative that you can try.

Minoxidil (Rogaine):

You can try minoxidil to increase your hair growth. A lot of people use minoxidil (rogaine) on their faces, and a few use it for body hair. It’s considered an “off-label” use- it’s officially approved for head hair and not other locations. Lots of medicines are used off-label, even prescriptions can be given off-label safely. Topical minoxidil is generally safe, as long as you use the dose recommended by the doctor/the bottle.

There's anecdotal evidence that minoxidil can stimulate new facial hair growth and may help thicken existing hairs. However, its effectiveness can vary, and there's limited scientific research on its use for facial hair specifically.

You can get it over-the-counter (aka without a prescription) online through Amazon or other sites, or at a pharmacy like CVS or Walgreens (it’s usually in the isle with men’s hair products like beard dye, and razors).

Minoxidil is generally safe but can cause side effects like dry skin, itching, and irritation. It's also a long-term commitment; you'll need to continue using it to maintain any new hair growth.

You shouldn’t use more than the recommended dose per day, no matter what body part it goes on (i.e. you shouldn’t cover your legs in it, unless you can stretch the normal dose that far). This is because minoxidil is a vasodilator, which lowers blood pressure. You also shouldn’t use oral minoxidil for hair growth because oral minoxidil is used primarily to lower blood pressure. 

Will minoxidil (i.e., Rogaine) enhance my facial hair growth?

Using Minox for facial hair

Minox is deadly to some pets like cats and may cause hair growth in unusual places

A high concentration of minoxidil (like 12.5%) can cause low blood pressure

My Personal Experience with Minoxidil Pre-T

If you have some peach fuzz from Minox, dying your existing hair darker with facial hair dye might make it more obvious. This is also true for your body hair.

Will facial hair dye make my facial hair appear thicker/denser?

Remember, there's no one "right" way to be you. Whether through medical procedures, hormone therapy, or personal expression, what matters most is that you feel comfortable and authentic in your own skin. If you're sure that you don't want T, then maybe a facial hair transplant might be the right option for you!

CIA Agent Nathanial Ford

Agent Nathanial Ford, a master of disguise at the CIA, sat at his meticulously organized workbench, surrounded by an array of tools and materials: silicone molds, fine human hair, a palette of skin tone pigments, and dental caps. His latest mission required him to infiltrate a high-stakes criminal syndicate in Moscow, Russia—a role that demanded not just linguistic fluency but an entire physical transformation to match.

The assignment was to pose as Dimitri Ivanov, a mid-level operator within the syndicate known for his dealings in illicit arms. Nathanial's task was to gather intelligence on the syndicate's connections with corrupt government officials. To become Dimitri, Nathanial would need to master not just the Russian language, but also the specific Moscow dialect, characterized by its sharp intonations and swift, clipping pace.

First, he focused on the facial hair. Years ago, Nathanial had undergone a beard transplant to enhance his ability to grow thick, authentic facial hair. For this role, he needed Dimitri’s signature look: a dense, well-groomed beard that was slightly graying at the edges. He began with a testosterone regimen weeks prior, ensuring his natural beard matched the density and style needed, then dyed it to achieve the perfect salt-and-pepper effect.

To achieve Dimitri’s receding hairline, Nathanial underwent a temporary hairline modification using a technique involving electrical follicle manipulation. This non-invasive procedure adjusted the growth patterns of his hair to mimic a receding hairline, creating a natural appearance without the need for prosthetics like a bald cap. He carefully blended his natural hair with additional strands that matched the texture and color of Dimitri’s hair, ensuring a seamless appearance.

Next, he prepared the ear and teeth prosthetics. Dimitri had distinctly large, lobed ears—a feature that could draw attention if not replicated accurately. Using silicone molds, Nathanial crafted oversized ear prosthetics that attached with special adhesive strong enough to integrate with his skin for extended periods. The teeth were another critical aspect; Dimitri had a noticeable gold cap on one of his upper molars. Nathanial created a set of dental caps, including the gold one, which could be worn comfortably for days and would withstand detailed scrutiny.

Adjusting his height was the next step. Nathanial was naturally 5'10", but Dimitri was known to be a slightly imposing 6'1". Using specially crafted shoe lifts that fit inside his boots, Nathanial managed an additional three inches without compromising his ability to walk naturally. This adjustment required Nathanial to practice Dimitri’s walk, which was a confident, slightly lumbering gait that suggested years of physical labor.

Once the prosthetics were ready, Nathanial applied them himself and tested them extensively to ensure they remained securely attached to his body. Sometimes, the prosthetics were worn for so long that his skin began to integrate with them, a testament to their durability and his commitment to the role.

The final touches involved accessories that would round out Dimitri’s persona: a vintage Soviet watch, a worn leather wallet containing family photos and membership cards to various local establishments, and a set of keys to a nondescript, slightly rusty Volga sedan.

As Nathanial reviewed his transformation in the mirror, fully morphed into Dimitri Ivanov, he practiced his dialect again, ensuring every inflection and nuance was just right. The reflection showed not a CIA agent, but a Moscow native, ready to delve deep into the dangerous underbelly of Russia's criminal world. His preparation complete, Nathanial was ready to step into a life that was not his own, armed with nothing but his wits and his impeccable disguise

I wanted to write a bit about sex segregated spaces, in regards to people who pass as the opposite sex. This is not actually about trans people, as much as it is about the safety, integrity and general rights of male-passing biological women. I am not the only gender non-conforming woman who gets tossed out of female only spaces, based on the false presumption that we’re men. I do not care about validating trans women, or even trans men, for that matter. I care about real life practicality, risks and safety for ALL women, not just those who look conveniently clearly female, which starts with accepting that some women, whether they've medically transitioned or not, pass as male. And none of them should have to feminise themselves to access female only spaces. Whether that be to ensure safety from males, or to just take a leak.

The fact that I choose to keep my beard has almost nothing to do with that I'm male-passing. It may be my strongest "male" feature, but it's hardly the only one. I still pass as male with a clean shaven face, which makes shaving my beloved beard rather pointless, in my opinion. I would realistically need to go through more than just facial hair removal to pass as my own sex again. I'd probably even need facial feminisation surgery, hair transplant, voice feminisation and full body hair removal, at the very least, to even get close to passing as female again. But even then, I'd probably STILL be read as a trans woman, i.e. male. And even IF I did all that... WHY should I have to mutilate myself (a second time) by buying into harmful patriarchal beauty standards, which would worsen my dysphoria and reduce my comfort in my own skin significantly, to be allowed the safety of male-free spaces?

Does that sound feminist to you? Because to me, it's incredibly misogynistic, and strongly counterproductive. To uphold patriarchal gender roles for the safety of women... is the most insanely anti-feminist double standard I can possibly ever think of.

To lay out my argument on this topic, I'm going to use my own experiences as examples a lot. Mostly because I cannot with any conscience speak for anyone else than myself, at least not in such detail and with such harsh judgement. But I'm sure a lot of my experiences are applicable to other masculine women as well.

First off, I still consider myself gender critical, but my allegiance to radical feminism has been waning lately. This is mostly due to that although I agree with the base premise of radfem, I tend to disagree with the proposed solutions to almost all of the issues, because to me they come across as unfounded beliefs (yes, BELIEFS) that "it would just work" without much of any evidence to back up such a claim.

And when it comes to trans people, I've noticed a lot of... shall we say, willful ignorance, going on among many radfems, which does affect opinions on gender abolishion as well as sex segregated spaces to appear rather... intellectually dishonest, to be frank. Although this is not intended as a call out by any means, I merely want for people of all sides of the radfem/gender critical/pro-trans fence to stay critical and keep questioning everything, even one's own beloved ideology. Which I don't see a lot of. Instead I see almost religious defending of radfem as the ultimate/perfect ideology... oh, guess where I've seen that before? I've come to believe that "hivemindedness" is probably part of every possible ideology out there. Even radfem.

So, anyway.

One thing I come across time and time again is the belief (yes, I dare say "belief") that people never pass as the opposite sex, although it's mostly directed at trans people, this very much applies to people who are just gnc as well. Let's not forget that. And this belief seem to often lead to that transitioned/gnc people can just use the space intended for their biological sex, no problem. However, this is not the case. There is a problem. Very many trans people, and some gnc people, pass well enough to at least blend in enough to not raise much of an eyebrow among the opposite sex, and to most definitely stand out as an outsider among people of the same sex. OR they pass barely enough as either sex, and thus stand out as an outsider among both the same sex and the opposite sex, which can cause similar problems with single sex spaces.

There's also the thing that it generally is easier to pass as the opposite sex among complete strangers, compared to people who know you/your background. They tend to read you differently, depending on that.

At least in my experience, complete strangers assume I'm male and don't even as much as raise an eyebrow about how male I come across as. They accept their false assumption at face value. And why wouldn't they? 99,97% of people who "look like me" are biologically men. Then people who know I'm transitioned, but didn't know me pre-transition, tend to see me as a female who looks very convincingly male, whether that makes me a masculine woman, trans man, or any other (female) label in their eyes. They claim to be able to "see" my female nature, yet they somehow had no idea before I told them about my true sex. Then people who know about my history and saw it happen from the time before my transition (now only really my family) never quite succeeded to see me as anything other than a gnc woman. To quote my dad: "You look like a woman who's trying to look like a man." Although I'm sure my mom and sister don't have quite as harsh views about me, lol. They still seem to see me the way they always have, regardless of what name or pronouns they use for me.

This matters, because although people who know I'm transitioned and may even have witnessed my transition from the beginning, struggle to see me as a man (which I respect entirely and I'm VERY careful to not push wanting to be seen/read as anything in particular, but also, people do not want to be rude, especially irl) that does not go for people who have never even seen me before the moment I walk into... say, a public bathroom. To them I cannot possibly be anything other than a man, and it's almost impossible to change their view of me as male once their brains have registered me as such. I need to conjure up pretty fucking compelling evidence to shatter that view they have of me.

This is important, because it means I cannot feasibly use female only spaces, unless someone else (who is also female) vouches for me and explains my situation for me. This is, most likely due to people being more likely to believe an unlikely explanation when it's told by someone else, because maybe I could be lying; and only someone of the same sex as me can accompany/escort me into female only spaces, obviously. But even then, there's a ton of tension around my presentation. An air of distrust, basically. The question that hangs in the air: "Is that a trans woman?" even after they've been given a thorough explanation of my situation. It's uncomfortable for everyone involved. Imagine how it goes then if I'd just show up unannounced, and without someone to vouch for me. I just get booted on sight.

Yes, I can whine about this all day, but that is NOT my point.

My point is that I'm either directly, or implicitly, unwelcome in female only spaces, despite being biologically female, because of my transitioned appearance... despite I'm not even on testosterone anymore since 2 years ago. Sure, most gnc women (whether transitioned or not) don't seem to have turned out quite as passable as me, but clearly, it happens. So let's stop pretending that it doesn't.

So with that in mind, I don't always have access to a gender neutral space. Like for example when I travel with the ferry that goes between my island and the mainland of my country, there is only men's bathrooms and women's bathrooms. No third option. That's a 3 hour boat ride, and with my coffee drinking habit, I will need to pee at some point or another while aboard that ship, alright. And no, peeing in the ocean is not an option, as squatting over the railing would be incredibly dangerous, and most likely not even remotely allowed. Granted, I don't take the ferry often, it's just the most clear example I can think of. Because it's my only means of transportation to/from the mainland, except from flying, which is incredibly expensive, less reliable and obviously an environmental hazard. So when I do have to use that ferry, I'm kinda stuck with my choices.

So then, am I better off going with the men's or women's bathroom? I am much more likely to be left alone to do my business in the men's, so even though that is not the space I want to be in, nor do I think it's "right" for me to be there, sometimes it's even a bit scary, other times even impractical if there's only urinals and no stall, and it's absolutely not validating at all - it's the only bathroom that I can realistically use, without too much trouble. And I don't want trouble. But I also hate having to put my own safety on the backburner for the perceived safety of other women, who are not actually at any higher safety risk when left alone with me.

So, onto the more general, political aspects of this issue:

Women in male only spaces may be less of an issue in regards to safety, at least for the majority of people (men) in that space, especially if the woman in question passes as male. No one gives a fuck, generally. But problem is then that she is at far greater risk than the majority of people (women) would be with a single male, in a female only space. As I think a group of women against one male is generally less risk towards the women, when compared to a group of men against a single female, which can be extremely dangerous for her. Although I've so far never been faced with any sort of violence in a male only space, let's not pretend that my presense in a male only space is somehow LESS dangerous for me, than how dangerous the presense of ONE male in a space with a whole group of women, would be for those women. Statistically and realistically, I'm at a far greater risk than they are, and no, I do not have any more choice in the matter than they do.

Thus, this kinda skewed idea of safety and choice, becomes a question of ethics, I think.

Furthermore, I'm a person of principles, and it wouldn't sit right with me that if males should never under any circumstances be allowed in female spaces, but females could be allowed in male spaces. I refuse to be a hypocrit on purpose! No, if males should never under any circumstances be allowed in female spaces, then females should also never under any circumstances be allowed in male spaces. OR, if females CAN under some special circumstances be allowed into male spaces, then males should be allowed the same in female spaces. Both of these solutions pose serious problems, which I keep seeing being brushed under the carpet a lot, and that annoys me.

But if we go with the first idea, of barring people from using opposite sex spaces altogether, then where the fuck do I pee? Should I utilise my "right" to use female spaces, despite making everyone uncomfortable and feeling threatened by my presense, as well as risking being kicked out and forced to use the equivalent male spaces anyway, which is exactly what that idea is meant to prevent - or should I completely avoid being in places which I know does not have a gender neutral bathroom, such as the ferry? Would that not be discrimination? Which is the most reasonable option here, what is the most practical, what's wrong and what's right? Do I even have a RIGHT to use female bathrooms, and if so, how do I prove it, considering my ID still says I'm male?

Trans men aren't gonna be nearly as willing to use female only spaces, and trans women definitely not eager to use male only spaces. But aside from that validation factor, I have the exact same struggle as trans people do on this particular point. Quite often they do toss and turn at which bloody bathroom to pick, not just out of validation, but because they genuinely struggle to figure out which one is the best option for them practically. Especially if they don't quite pass as either sex, and most and foremost just wanna do their business without unneccesary drama.

Also, to clarify: barring trans people from opposite sex spaces is NOT discrimination, as they never belonged there to begin with - but leaving them with no other option than to pee themselves, is. Which means that I think it's fucked up to barr them from those spaces BEFORE having solved the problem of "if they can't go there, then where?"

Perhaps I'm the only one around here who cares about males' integrity, safety and human rights. But even if so, I should not be the only one to care about gnc females' integrity, safety and rights. Male-passing females, whether transitioned or not, whether bearded or not, are still female, and if we don't want them in female only spaces, and not in male only spaces either; why? Because they "chose" to medically transition and/or dress in men's clothing?

Yeah, well, in most cases of transitioned females, they transitioned because of dysphoria, which no one chooses to have. It's a medical condition. Barring people from spaces they'd otherwise be welcomed into, due to the visual outcome of the treatment of their medical condition... is ableism. Barring a woman from a female only space she belongs in, solely because her unusual physical appearance freaks you out... is ableism. Also, simply being gnc and being viscerally uncomfortable with presenting femininely is also not a choice. And even if it was... shouldn't it be? That's why I cannot roll with that sorta solution. I dunno if it counts as a form of discrimination by definition, but it just smells a lot like it from where I sit. That it's no more right to toss me out of, or give me trouble, in a women's bathroom, than a masculine women who also passes as male but who has not medically transitioned.

That said, however, women's safety DOES matter a lot to me. Hence my reluctance to join their spaces, despite being a woman myself. I guess, what I'd want is complete sex segregation to work in my favour, but I can't promote a rule that would discriminate against me. I'm sorry, I just can't. I desire FUNCTIONAL sex segregated spaces, but realistically they cannot function. Truth is that the only womens spaces I've been allowed into since I began passing as male, are "trans inclusionary" ones that openly allow in trans women, ironically. I care about the safety of other women, and their right to have their own spaces... but not at the expense of my own rights, as a fellow woman. To say otherwise would be a crime against myself. I really wish this could be solved in some way that would work in practice, but honestly I don't think it can anytime soon. Not without some seriously tried and proven, practical and humane methods to check what sex people entering single sex spaces actually are.

That is the reality that people have to face. And personally I'd rather focus on women's rights than trans rights, but as a woman who's medically transitioning, I'd shoot my own foot no matter which one I'd choose. That's quite a dilemma.

So where my opinion stands on this right now, is basically this: I think female only spaces should only be for biological women, but I'm reluctantly okay-ish with males who pass as female utilising female only spaces, and vice versa for females in male only spaces. However, this does not feel ideal at all. It's a compromise. Ideally, I want such spaces to be entirely sex segregated, and for even people who pass as the opposite sex (like myself) to be allowed into spaces of their biological sex. My appeal here is both realistic practicality with the reality that some people really do pass as the opposite sex, as well as the safety, rights and integrity of male-passing women.

Character Appearances

in just keep stumbling forward (baby im waiting for you)

Patton Agnes Wilson

Race/Ethnicity- Black

Height- 5’7”

General Appearance- Patton’s skin is a deep oak color. He has wide dark brown eyes and black very kinky curly hair. He cut it real short when he first came out as trans, but he generally keeps it longer now. He’s had dreads, long twists, and an afro. He’s been on testosterone for years now and has had top surgery and pretty much always passes as male. But he still cannot grow facial hair. It’s a thing. He’s got a round (but not very curvy) body and is fat.

Clothes- Patton will wear just about anything, but often pastels, light colors, and whites. Either aesthetically pleasing, or clashing horribly there is no inbetween. Prefers shorts over pants. Very much an overalls person. Will wear skirts but generally not dresses. Often wears more casual clothes. He’s also known for stealing Roman’s worn-out oversize t-shirts. Also wears the occasional cute short sleeve button-up with fun patterns or designs.

Roman Hussain-Barlo

Race/Ethnicity- Arab (Yemeni)

Height- 6’1”

General Appearance- Roman has golden bronze skin and deep russet eyes. He’s the tallest of the four. He has black hair and generally keeps it shorter on the sides with a bit of length in the front, but it’s really not that dramatic of a difference. It is a mix between wavy and curly. His body is soft and he is slightly overweight. Narrow shoulders, more rectangular in shape than broad. He also grows a beard after college, but keeps it pretty cropped due to fear of racist views of Muslim people and their beards. Has a notable scar on his forearm from his brother attacking him with a whisk.

Clothes- Roman generally wears dark jeans and t-shirts. At work his t-shirts are also usually dark, as he is a theater director. While he pretty much wears the same things at home and work, his work clothes are definitely nicer. Paints his nails a lot. He also wears a necklace with each of his families birthstones on it. Is also not afraid to wear skirts, dresses, heels, etc. It’s not really his style, but he’s done it more than once to make A Statement against the ideas of toxic masculinity.

Virgil Jude Torres

Race/Ethnicity- Ashkenazi Jew, but if you asked him he’d probably just say he’s Jewish and leave it to you to assume he’s white European descent.

Height- 5’5”

General Appearance- Virgil has light sandstone skin that tans easily. He has deep set chestnut colored eyes. He keeps his hair a similar shorter length as Roman. His hair is a deep brown almost black and pretty curly (between Roman and Patton). He’s gangly and has limbs that seem to just go all over the place. Seems smaller than he is because he’s always hunching in on himself. He has self-harm scars on his arms, legs, and chest. He also has two long vertical scars on both wrists from a past suicide attempt. He has a scar on his stomach where his liver transplant was. He also has little scars all over his body because they’ve accumulated during his time at the cult. There’s a large burn scar on his back and on his feet almost all the way up to his knees, also via cult.

Clothes- Virgil covers as much of his body up, mostly due to being self conscious about his scars. Wears black jeans or other dark pants. Band shirts with his notable hoodie, or long sleeves if he goes without it. He’s comfortable wearing more revealing clothes at home. At work, he goes for dark button ups instead of t-shirts.

Logan Kasem Dāwsukpon

Race/Ethnicity- half Thai and part Roma (a nomadic people that have been continuously persecuted, and still are. Better known- inaccurately- as the racial slur “g*psy”)

Height- 5’10”

General Appearance- Logan has light copper skin that tans more in the sun. His eyes are almond shaped and a honey brown color. His hair is a leather black and very straight. He keeps his hair shorter on the sides and longer on top. Generally starts off by buzzing the sides, but it grows out quick and he kind of just leaves it. Logan has a very average androgynous build. He’s the fittest of the four, but still not really muscular. Has good posture and seems to fill up space, so people always assume he’s taller than he is. Pretty noticeable jawline. Talks with his hands, but otherwise generally shoves them in his pockets around people he doesn’t know, and stims with them around people he’s comfortable with.

Clothes- Pretty much like is the Sander Sides videos, bit more color variance. Still stays to neutral tones, dark colors, or black. Wears a tie. Patton has gifted him more than one extravagantly patterned one, and he does wear them, just always with a black shirt or its “too distracting.” Hates all shoes but tennis shoes with a burning passion.

Remy Eileen Zurko

Race/Ethnicity- half white and Roma

Height- 6’0”

General Appearance- Remy is very pale and it’s a fifty-fifty chance if she’ll burn or tan. She has hazel eyes. She has medium brown auburn hair with a bit of a wave to it. She’s currently growing it out. Generally looks very youthful and androgynous. Tall and has a fairly athletic build.

Clothes- Wears bright button ups that fit the definition of “business casual” perfectly. Generally white, blue, or neon shorts and jeans. Wears all sorts of different skirts. Likes sundresses. Is not afraid to show off a bit of skin, either with short-shorts, undoing a few of her shirt buttons, or wearing a crop top. Wears sunglasses in any remotely bright setting due to photophobia (light sensitivity). Has like ten pairs that all look the same. Likes to wear sparkly nail polish, because she can see the shine in the sunlight and she thinks it looks cool.

Deceit Johnson

(His last name was unknown so he was given a common American last name)

Race/Ethnicity- white

Height- 6’3”

General Appearance- Deceit has fair skin that has patches of depigmentation due to a condition called vitiligo. These patches are focused around his face, hands, elbows, and feet. His vitiligo is fairly symmetrical, with unsymmetrical patches forming due to trauma. He has a large, noticeable, and very severe burn scar on half of his face and extends to his ear and neck. The depigmentation covers this in its entirety. His eyes are an aqua green color. His hair is a light golden brown color that falls to his shoulders. He has a slim body that has a certain softness to it. He is very tall and has good posture, but his habit of hanging off to the sides makes this often times unnoticeable. Deceit also has scars all across his body that you should not ask him about.

Why Hormonal Treatment is Important for any Female Undergoing Laser for Facial Hair?

The hair that grows on your face and body are very difficult to manage as they look weird and also are not presentable, however one should know all about why the hair grows in such particular parts of the body where it should not be placed. This condition is called hirsutism in females. Now in some cases, it can be easy to handle but in some cases, it can be equally disturbing. But both people who face these challenges often try out many treatments and therapies. To understand this disorder is caused by hormonal imbalances in the body. Anyone can take the right treatment like with Ayurvedic herbs for skin. 

Hirsutism Overview  

Hirsutism (HUR-residue iz-um) is a state of undesirable, male-design hair development in ladies. Hirsutism brings about unnecessary measures of dull, coarse hair on body zones where men normally develop hair — face, chest, and back. 

The measure of body hair you have is to a great extent controlled by your hereditary cosmetics. There's a wide scope of typical hair circulation, thickness and shading because of contrasts in heredity. Be that as it may, hirsutism is an ailment that can emerge from an overabundance of male hormones called androgens, principally testosterone. It can likewise be because of family quality of passing in the gene. 

A mix of self-care and therapeutic treatments gives treatment to numerous ladies with hirsutism. Affecting many females, it can only happen to some after the maturity period and mostly seen in elderly women. You can easily care with some natural therapy or transplant or prevent with the help of Ayurvedic medicines as it is the natural treatment without chemicals.

Hirsutism Causes 

At pubescence, a young lady's ovaries start to deliver a blend of female and male sex hormones, making hair develop in the armpits and pubic zone. Hirsutism can happen if the blend gets uneven with too high the extent of male sex hormones (androgens). 

Hirsutism can be brought about by: 

Polycystic ovary disorder: This most regular reason for hirsutism is brought about by a lopsidedness of sex hormones that can bring about unpredictable periods, stoutness, fruitlessness and now and again different growths on your ovaries. 

Cushing's disorder:  This happens when your body is presented to elevated levels of the hormone cortisol. It can secret from your adrenal gland making an excessive amount of cortisol or from taking prescriptions, for example, prednisone over a significant stretch. 

Innate adrenal hyperplasia: This acquired condition is portrayed by the strange formation of steroid hormones, including cortisol and androgen, by your adrenal organs. 

Tumors: Infrequently, an androgen-discharging tumor in the ovaries or adrenal organs can cause hirsutism. 

Prescriptions: A few meds can cause hirsutism. These incorporate danazol, which is utilized to treat ladies with endometriosis; foundational corticosteroids and fluoxetine (Prozac) for wretchedness. 

Some of the time, hirsutism can happen with no recognizable reason. This happens all the more as often as possible in a specific population, for example, in ladies of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and South Asian family lines.

Symptoms of Hirsutism

Hirsutism is firm and dull body hair, showing up on the body where ladies don't normally have hair — fundamentally the face, chest, and back. What's viewed as unreasonable can shift contingent upon ethnicity and on culture. 

At the point when too much high androgen levels cause hirsutism, different signs may create after some time, a procedure called virilization. Indications of virilization may include: 

Extending voice 

Thinning up top 

Skin break out 

Diminished bosom size 

Expanded bulk 

Augmentation of the clitoris

Possible Types of Treatment 

Consuming Oral Contraceptives: There are many birth control pills or and many other hormonal contraceptives pills that contain a good amount of estrogen and progestin, that treats hirsutism brought about by androgen generation. Oral contraceptives are a typical treatment for hirsutism in ladies who actually prefer not to get pregnant. Conceivable symptoms incorporate unsteadiness, sickness, cerebral pain, and stomach upset.

Anti -Androgens: These sorts of medications square androgens from appending to their receptors in your body. They're once in awhile recommended following a half year on oral contraceptives if the oral contraceptives aren't powerful enough. 

The most normally utilized enemy of androgen for treating hirsutism is spironolactone (Aldactone). Since these medications can cause birth surrenders, it's essential to utilize contraception while taking them. 

All these medications will indirectly affect some body parts, because of the chemicals present in the body. The best treatment is quite effective which is the herbal treatment completely natural and safe for every individual.

LGBT - How To Prepare For Your H.R.T. Meeting

SO YOUR SEEKING HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY:

    WHY?

    Why do you want to seek hormone replacement therapy? What is the underlying cause to have you seek transformation? Is it because you’re sexually disadvantaged? A victim of abuse? A patient suffering from dysphoria of the body? Or have you been socially conditioned to alter your appearance? Knowing why is a must! Because 50% of those who undergo H.R.T. truly need it and 50% of those who undergo H.R.T. end up regretting it.

     SEEK EDUCATION

     Once you know why you want to undergo H.R.T.; you need to educate yourself about the benefits and risks of H.R.T..

     If you are reading this article, then it is likely that you are in phase two and seeking education. Sadly, many (including myself) do not feel conformable bringing up this subject in public and have a difficult time doing the research online. There is so many ‘bad’ articles out there. Opinionated articles written by with pro-LGBT or anti-LGBT groups to push a narrative or agenda, using salacious data or failing to address the risks, both physiologically and psychologically to the patient.

     If you can...talk to you Primary Care Physician or a center that specializes in LGBT services and ask for resources to make your own decision. Write articles, take notes, talk to your closes friends about the risks and benefits of H.R.T. and why you want to undergo this dramatic transition.

     WHAT NEXT?

     Prior to the clinical appointment with a physician, it is totally natural to feel nervous, anxious, excited, ambivalent, scared or all of there emotions all at once. When I was waiting, I felt all these emotions...I felt bipolar when it comes to the altering range of emotions.

     One moment I am nervous (Will I be given the injection hormone? Or pills?), then anxious (time, place, money and open mindedness). Excited (I can’t believe I actually am doing this!), ambivalent (I pray this isn’t a phase...hate to ask my PCP for breast reduction!), scared (What if they deny me, or I take on too many female characteristics? Will my parents actually kill me if I beginning looking like a woman in two to six years? What will my friends think of me?).

   One feeling I would add and that is: doubt

   For 33 years I danced with doubt, and the last four months have been our grand ballroom dance. Even before I hear what they think, I already begun doubting myself, mostly because I realized that being on estrogen meant my transition was real, physical changes will happen and people will notice. No more hiding, no more Illuminati-like secrets...they will see and my brain will change as my testosterone levels are replaced with estrogen.

   Even though I am scared, nothing will kept me from my appointment...I have been working my way to this point...it will be the greatest scientific experiment I will ever conduct...a second puberty occurring on my own body...I will document it to the tee. This might be a capstone in biological transformation that I’ve written and drawled so many times. I always placed myself in my characters shoes, but never could say what it was truly like...so now I will know!

   The night after the call I kept thinking of all the things I was going to ask the doctor. Things the doctor might ask of me. HRT is like a transplant...if you are not mentally prepared, you will reject it! I ran simulation after simulation of different ways the appointment might go and my mind goes blank and the representative of me is left mumbling uh and um and yeah. I wanted to prevent this from happening, so I wrote down a few simulations. Sometimes it is better to have a list of questions prior to going into your appointment so you are collected and ready. It is also a great way to judge the doctor to see if they are the right one...remember...they are the one rebirthing you to your second birth!

PREPARING FOR DAY ONE:

   Here are three areas to focus on during the first appointment...

1) To assess the providers knowledge and comfort with the different forms of treatment being oral, epidermal or endodermis.

2) To go over side effects and what to expect from starting on estrogen. This is a good way to see if the doctor knows the risks and emotional effects at which stage.

3) And to begin building a relationship with a healthcare provider that hopefully will be based on trust and openness.

   It is important to be able to assess the provider’s knowledge and comfort because you want someone that can properly screen for any health issues that may be a problem in the future (I.e. heart trouble, cancer, blood clots and stroke).

   Since I am Gender Neutral (closely related to Gender Fluid), it would be in my best interest to communicate with the provider that there are some things I am looking to physically change (I.e., breasts, fat distribution around the hips and butt, feminine features in the face and hair growth decrease on chest with halting male pattern baldness on head), but others that I wish to remain the same (I.e., penis, male facial features and muscular support that I have).

   Lastly, having a provider that is up-to-date with the different types of dosing and methods to administer hormones is always helpful because then you are given options, options are extremely important when it comes to hormone therapy because a certain method may work well for one person, but not so well for another. (as seen in Operation B.O. H.R.T.)

SAMPLE QUESTIONS FOR PROVIDER:

   So, when learning about the provider, questions that may help you assess their knowledge and comfort are as follows:

What methods do you give as options when prescribing hormones to your patients?

1a) Current options for estrogen, antiandrogens include: injectable, sublingual or oral, and transdermal.

1b) 17-beta estradiol (estradiol) is most commonly delivered to transgender women via a transdermal patch, oral or sublingual tablet, or injection of a conjugated ester (estradiol valerate or estradiol cypionate). No outcome studies have been conducted on injectable estradiol valerate or cypionate, presumably due to their uncommon modern use outside of transgender care settings; due to this limited use manufacturers have little incentive to produce this medicine, and shortages have been reported. Other delivery routes for estradiol such as transdermal gel or spray are formulated for the treatment of menopausal vasomotor symptoms and while convenient and effective in some transgender women, in others these routes may not be able to achieve blood levels in the physiologic female range. Compounded topical creams and gels also exist from specialty pharmacies; if these are to be used it is recommended that the prescriber consult with the compounding pharmacist to understand the specific details and dosing of the individual preparation. Compounded estradiol valerate or cypionate for injection also exists, and may be an alternative in times of shortage or more cost effective for those who must pay cash for their prescriptions.

Conjugated equine estrogens (Premarin®) have been used in the past but are not recommended for a number of reasons, including inability to accurately measure blood levels and some suggestion of increased thrombogenicity and cardiovascular risk. Equine estrogens are obtained from the urine of pregnant, catheterized horses; no evidence exists to suggest that these estrogens are superior to bioidentical human estradiol.

Ethinyl estradiol is a synthetic estrogen used in contraceptive preparations and is associated with an increased thrombotic risk. In the context of contraception, ethinyl estradiol has more consistent and reliable cycle control and as such is better tolerated, balancing out the potentially increased risk of VTE. In the setting of gender affirmation there is no need for cycle or bleeding regulation, and thus the use of ethinyl estradiol and its inherent risks are not warranted.

General Side effects of estrogens may include migraines, mood swings, hot flashes, and weight gain.

Spironolactone is the most commonly used androgen blocker in the U.S. Spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic, which in higher doses also has direct anti-androgen receptor activity as well as a suppressive effect on testosterone synthesis. Doses of 200mg daily in non-transgender women being treated for hair loss have been described as safe, though doses of up to 400mg/day have been reported without negative effect. Hyperkalemia is the most serious risk but is very uncommon when precaution is taken to avoid use in individuals with renal insufficiency, and use with caution and frequent monitoring in those on ACE inhibitor or ARB type medications. Due to its diuretic effect, patients may experience self-limited polyuria, polydipsia, or orthostasis.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors include finasteride and dutasteride. Finasteride blocks 5-alpha reductase type 2 and 3 mediated conversion of testosterone to the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone. Finasteride 1mg daily is FDA-approved for male pattern baldness, while the 5mg dose is approved for management of prostatic hypertrophy. Dutasteride 0.5mg more effectively blocks the type 1 isozyme, which is present in the pilosebaceous unit and therefore may have more dramatic feminizing effects. Since these medications block neither the production nor action of testosterone, their antiandrogen effect is less than that encountered with full blockade. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may be a good choice for those unable to tolerate, or with contraindications to the use of spironolactone. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may also be an option for use as a single agent in patients seeking partial feminization, or for those who continue to exhibit virilized features or hair loss after complete androgen blockade or orchiectomy.

Are you familiar with the different methods and doses used? Are you open to trying different methods/doses?

2a) The answers to these questions will let you know how open your provider is, and also how knowledgeable they are regarding advances and new forms of treatment in transgender healthcare.

How many transgender clients do you currently work with?

3a) If you are the first, second, or third, you are most likely going to be learning together. If you are with a provider of over 20, 30 or 100, then they most likely are more experienced.

Do you follow the most up-to-date and current guidelines for transgender care?

4a) Although the World Professional Association of Transgender Health is not the only organization that provides Standards of Care, they are the most well-known. WPATH SOCv.7. is the old model. ICATH is the modern model.

Do they know other providers in different areas of transgender health in case you need a referral for specific care?

5a) You may have some health complications that require monitoring by a specialist. Or in the future you may require specialist care for something (it doesn’t have to be trans related) so having other provider’s names is always helpful. If your current provider has a trans-friendly referral list it may also be a sign that they are more knowledgeable and connected.

Questions to ask about hormones:

What are the side effects?

1a) If there are things they go over that causes you concern, ask for more information.

How will hormone therapy affected my fertility/reproductive options?

2a) If you are considering or would like the option of having (biological) kids in the future, then being informed of options and also risks with being on hormones therapy is something you should consider.

What is the general timeline for seeing changes?

3a) The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) has a general timeline that can show you the expected changes as noted below:

Tips To Manage Hair Loss In Women Caused By PCOS

Hair loss always joins with low pleasant symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome-like irregular periods, unintended weight gain or loss, increased acne, thyroid and so on. In some cases, overgrowth of the body and facial hair might also be a difficult symptom due to PCOS. You might also have the flip side of this scenario. What ever might be your PCOS symptoms in all cases, hair loss is a must to the added fate which is common in females who deal with PCOS. This hair fall or thinning as a result of PCOS will end with a common hair problem which is known as female-pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. If you are acing PCOS hair fall, then you can rush to hair loss treatments in PCOS to avoid baldness.

Why Does PCOS Cause Hair Loss?

PCOS always offers hair loss in women due to higher than normal testosterone levels. This excess of testosterone will always affect your hair growth. This case of hair loss due to hormone imbalance is termed androgenic alopecia. During this situation, most women face hair loss around the temples or frontal region or both scalp spots.

Apart from the presence or absence of PCOS, even the human gender witnesses the presence of androgens and testosterone. This hormone production is spotted to be high in men, which is why people say androgens as the male hormone. The secretion of Androgens initially starts from human puberty and results in hair growth at underarms and pubic areas.

Preventive Measures For PCOS Hair Loss

PCOS hair loss is mainly faced because of abnormal hormonal imbalance. So the main course of treatment starts with hormone regulation. Usually this segment of medication is done with several numbers of medications. There are few sets of medication available with hair loss treatment in PCOS. Sometimes you have to try a few medications to benefit from a positive result. When you consult the best hair regrowth center, they will suggest a combination of medications that usually works effectively. Here is the list of treatments that are practiced with PCOS hair treatment to achieve your hair growth.

Oral contraceptive pills

Certain birth control pills have the character to control the secretion of androgen levels. This process might help to decrease excess hair and also control hair loss. These anti-androgen pills also help with other PCOS symptoms faced in females. There are a few other oral medications that have been practiced. Some of them are listed below:

Spironolactone (Aldactone) is a common oral medication known as an aldosterone receptor antagonist. This medication is practiced for diuretic fluid retention, and it can also avail you positive results with androgenetic alopecia.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) - this medication is one of the effective tablets practiced by hair regrowth clinics, especially to cure female pattern baldness. It is said that it promotes hair growth to a certain extent.

Hair transplant

Hair transplant is the most effective and permanent treatment for male and female baldness. And this surgical treatment process of implanting hair follicles on scalps results in more positive results for women with PCOS. This hair regrowth procedure achieves your expected result without disturbing your hormone conditions. You can customize your hairstyle with a hair transplant and have great looking natural hair.

When should you approach A Doctor For Hair fall?

You face unexpected hair fall but do not experience any outside diagnosis like PCOS. In this situation, you have to immediately consult a hair regrowth clinic that will direct your treatment based on their valuation. At times of PCOS symptoms, you must reach a doctor and undergo an ob-gyn diagnosis.

Bottom line:

Hair loss with PCOS is common with a female; you don’t have to worry, and you can get involved with medications and hair transplants at the best hair regrowth clinic.

Beard Transplant Results

Beard transplantation and mustache transplantation are applications for people who have lost a beard or mustache or have not grown a beard. Beard transplant results are quite surprising. If you have it done with the right doctor in the right place and meet sufficient requirements, having a beard transplant can provide you with a beautiful appearance. Beards and mustaches play an essential role in men's looking.

It is the method we recommend to men who love their bearded appearance but have a beard or mustache loss due to the testosterone hormone or who have a deficiency or irregular appearance in a certain area.  By having a beard transplant operation, you can regain your desired bearded appearance.

How is beard transplant performed?

Beard transplantation can be done on anyone with hair. In the beard transplant procedure, the FUE method is applied to those who accept hair shaving, and the FUT method is applied to those who do not want to shave their hair to zero.

The skin, which heals in red crusts on the day of transplantation, regains its old appearance after a week without any scar. After facial hair transplantation, it is expected that there will be no severe pain or pain, just like with hair.

Beard transplant results begin to show about eight to ten weeks after the procedure. It is impossible to separate the hair strand, that is, the existing beard and hair, from each other with the naked eye. If you want to have natural-looking beards, it is recommended to take a look at the beard transplant procedure.

Laser Hair Removal and Hirsutism

Unwanted hair growth is a common aesthetic problem, but when it becomes an abnormal symptom of an underlying condition like Hirsutism, traditional techniques like waxing, shaving, and plucking only serve as temporary solutions. 

So does laser hair removal work for Hirsutism? Yes, laser hair removal is a viable treatment option for hirsutism patients, on top of PCOS medications and anti-androgens. In this article, we discuss how exactly laser hair removal can help with Hirsutism, and why it might be a better option compared to medical treatments. 

Hirsutism: Everything You Need To Know

Hirsutism is one of the most distressing symptoms of underlying medical conditions, causing severe anxiety and self-consciousness particularly in women. 

What Hirsutism Is and Its Common Symptoms

Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas of the body that either normally grow fine and sparse hair or don’t grow hair at all. This can occur in both men and women, who each have specific patterns of hair growth according to their hormones. 

Hirsute female patients would grow a male type pattern of hair, which means thick facial hair, chest hair, back hair, and inner thighs. Male Hirsute patients also grow hair in these areas, but they are darker, thicker, and coarser almost to the point of extreme body oil production and hygiene problems.

What Causes Hirsutism

The first cause of Hirsutism is either an abnormal production of androgens or abnormal stimulation of the hair follicles. Androgens are the hormones responsible for the development of male reproductive characteristics, the most common one being testosterone. This would explain women diagnosed with Hirsutism growing beards and mustaches, or getting deeper voices than their female peers. 

Another cause is the intake of certain medications like estrogen, opium, and steroids. Some steroids are prescribed by doctors to treat hormonal issues like delayed menstrual cycles in women, but there have been recorded cases of Hirsutism as a side effect of the hormone-inducing compound. 

Other drugs that can cause Hirsutism include the following: 

DIAZOXIE is used to treat symptoms of hypertension and severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) following pancreatic cancer surgery. It can cause Hirsutism because it induces enzymes that make testosterone more active. 

DANAZOL is a synthetic androgen commonly used to treat fibrocystic breast disease in females and hereditary angioedema. It affects the ovaries and pituitary gland and prevents the release of certain hormones. Its androgenic effects have been known to cause Hirsutism as a side effect.

FLUOXETINE or PROZAC is a drug used for treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and panic attacks.

PHENYTOIN or DILANTIN  is often used as an anti-seizure medication, with Hirsutism as one of its many side effects.

CYCLOSPORIN is used to treat psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as to prevent organ rejection following kidney, heart or liver transplant. It often causes unwanted hair growth because it stimulates hair epithelial cell proliferation. 

MINOXIDIL is used to treat male pattern baldness and promotes growth of hair for both men and women, but excess liquid that runs down on the face from the scalp may trigger unwanted facial hair growth. It has also been recorded to be absorbed by the blood and cause Hirsutism as a side effect.

ACITRETIN or SORIATANE is another drug for treating severe psoriasis with Hirsutism as one of its side effects

STREPTOMYCIN is an antibiotic anti-TB drug with Hirsutism as one of its side effects

The third cause of Hirsutism is likely to be any underlying medical condition that relies on androgen-stimulating medications. 

Among the most common are PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, compromised thyroid, and anorexia: 

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS): Hirsutism is perhaps one of the most distressing symptoms of  PCOS in women, adding to a list of other abnormalities like irregular periods, obesity, infertility and sometimes multiple cysts on the ovaries.

CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA: This is a genetic condition that causes abnormal production of steroid hormones, including androgen and cortisol, the hormones responsible for secondary sex hair growth. 

THYROID: Scientists are still struggling to prove how thyroid causes hair growth indirectly, but historically, there is a correlation between an under-active thyroid and abnormal hair growth.

ANOREXIA: Excessive hair growth is one of the body’s defense mechanisms against starvation, which is an effect of anorexia, along with other eating disorders like bulimia. 

Rare cases of abnormal hair growth between eyes or on the forehead is called hypertrichosis, and can be caused by any of the medical conditions mentioned above. 

There are still some rare cases of Hirsutism that up to now have no identifiable causes linked to them. Hormones are always tricky, but they’re not unsolvable.

What Treatments Are Available for Hirsutism 

Treatment for Hirsutism is not absolutely necessary if doctors find that it isn’t linked to severe conditions like endocrine malfunction or ovarian cysts. More often than not, treatment of the underlying medical conditions can also indirectly affect and inhibit the growth of hair, but there are other remedies that target hair growth specifically, with laser hair removal being one of them.

1) Medication 

Hirsutism medications usually take up to six months, which is the average life cycle of a hair follicle, before you can see any significant change. These include anti-androgens and oral contraceptives for androgen-caused Hirsutism; and Eflornithine (Vaniqa) cream for women with facial hair. 

2) Proper diet

Hirsutism in women has been associated with excess insulin in the bloodstream, leading to a spike in circulating androgen and insulin-like growth factor. Switching to foods like non-starchy vegetables, legumes, antioxidant foods, and fruit are good remedies to insulin imbalance. Avoiding fatty sugary foods can also help regulate the production of hormones, specifically androgens.

3) Vitamin e and B6 Supplements 

Yes, supplements can go a long way in tempering abnormal hair growth, especially given that it’s a hormone-induced condition. Vitamin E in particular normalizes the production of androgen in the body, while Vitamin B6 reduces prolactin, a hormone that stimulates testosterone. 

Some of the richest sources of these vitamins are fish, avocados, organ meats, soybeans, walnuts, peanuts, bananas, sunflower seeds, safflower oil, peanut butter, corn oil, wheat germ oil, and broccoli. 

4) Laser Hair Removal 

If all else fails, cosmetic treatment is the way to go. Laser Hair Removal uses pulsed light to target hair at the follicles and significantly reduce hair regrowth by 90%. With laser hair removal, Hirsutism patients can easily manage overgrown hair without consistent upkeep. With regular use, laser hair removal may also diminish hair regrowth over time. 

Laser Hair Removal: Does It Work For Hirsutism?

Laser hair removal is the perfect resort for Hirsute patients who aren’t fully satisfied with the results of medical therapy. This is especially true for cases that aren’t particularly caused  conditions that cause hormone imbalance, or cases that have no identified causes at all. 

It’s one thing to know that your prescribed medication can help lessen excessive hair growth, and another thing when the cause is unclear and therefore difficult to target. Luckily, laser hair removal doesn’t need to know the cause to get its work done. 

How Laser Hair Removal Works 

The technology used in hair removal by lasers is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, a very precise microsurgery technique that matches specific wavelengths of light to damage the hair follicles. The “selective” part here means that it cannot affect the epidermis, or the outermost layer of the skin. 

During treatment, melanin (the pigment in the hair) absorbs the light emitted from the lasers, and converts that light energy into heat, effectively damaging the hair follicles and inhibiting hair growth. 

For this to work and yield the best results, the following reminders are advised: 

1) Take precautions

The cardinal rule to any cosmetic procedure is to consult with a certified clinician first. Whether or not you are a Hirsute with an underlying medical condition, it’s important to make sure that you are eligible for laser hair removal before undergoing it. Certain skin conditions, medical prescriptions, and medical histories can give you higher health risks than potential benefits, so taking the effort to confirm will save you time and worry. 

2) Consider the skin type and hair type

Your skin and hair type will come into play because not all lasers work on all skins. Melanin, the pigment responsible for your hair color, is also what absorbs the light energy from laser therapy. This means that darker hair, or hair with more melanin are less prone to burning than red and blonde hair is. This also explains why there are different lasers and different treatment schedules for each patient. Generally, people with hair darker than their skin tone require less treatment time because the laser can easily detect the hair follicles to target. 

3) Know when to book an appointment

Your laser hair removal treatment is best scheduled when your hair is in its active growth cycle, or the anagen phase. At any given time, almost 10%–15% of your hair may be in the catagen or telogen stage, which is why sessions are often scheduled 4-6 weeks apart to allow all follicles to grow and restart the cycle. 

How Effective Is Laser Hair Removal VS Other Treatments? 

One of the main selling points of laser hair removal, with or without Hirsutism is the little to no risk of irritation or skin damage from shaving, and little discomfort from stubble growth. 

For Hirsute patients particularly, the promise of 80-90% of their hair losing regrowth ability may exactly be the result they need for easier maintenance and higher self-confidence.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost For Hirsute Patients

The price of laser hair removal varies widely on the type of laser used, skin type, and medical well-being of a patient.

Patients with light hair and light skin or dark hair and dark skin will usually need a more elaborate and longer treatment plan due to the increased difficulty in detecting hair and hair follicles. Because the lasers need to be able to “see” the hair and selectively burn its roots, the most ideal candidates that need the least number of sessions are the fair to olive-skinned ones with darker hair.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, one session of laser removal can fall anywhere between $250 to $600, depending on the size of the area being treated. 

Collecting the estimates from this study will produce this list of price ranges per session:

half legs – $250 to $650

half arms – $250 to $650

bikini area (regular) – $150 to $450

bikini area (Brazilian) – $250 to $500

upper lip – $100 to 300

full face – $250 to 650

underarms – $150 to $250

chest – $150 to $450

back – $300 to $400

On average, most treatments are finished within 3-6 sessions, but patients with Hirsutism usually require more, especially when targeting larger areas like the back or areas with fine or wisps of hair like the cheeks and upper lip.

Things To Consider Before Booking An Appointment 

Hirsute Patients have many things to consider before booking an appointment for a laser hair removal service. Usually, med spas that do offer it are licensed to conduct various hormonal tests, especially for testosterone levels, as these may influence the patient’s response to laser therapy. 

Some of the underlying medical conditions behind Hirsutism like PCOS, thyroid dysfunctions, and adrenal hyperplasias may also affect the longevity of the results and therefore the total number of treatments needed, but not significantly. 

Finally, the price of a laser hair removal session largely depends on the lasers being used. More than 15 laser systems are FDA-approved and commercially available in most cosmetics clinics today. Each of them (ruby, alexandrite, diode, Q-switched and long-pulsed neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet, and intense pulsed light sources), with their own depth of penetration and wavelengths. People with Hirsutism usually need either alexandrite and diode laser systems, and in some cases, a combination of both. These are also the most expensive lasers in the market.

For those eligible for and interested in the treatment, you can expect to spend $300 per session and several thousand dollars in total. But because treatments are spread a number of weeks apart, usually payments can also be done in increments. Certain med spas even offer discounts for clients that can pay for several sessions at once, or opt for multiple areas in one session. 

When you consider the costs of minimizing hair growth and eliminating the need for routinely wax sessions or new blades, laser hair removal is right on par. 

We all have different relationships and levels of comfort with body hair, but those with Hirsutism consider removal to be a necessity for their hygiene, comfort, and confidence.

Laser Hair Removal and Hirsutism

Unwanted hair growth is a common aesthetic problem, but when it becomes an abnormal symptom of an underlying condition like Hirsutism, traditional techniques like waxing, shaving, and plucking only serve as temporary solutions. 

So does laser hair removal work for Hirsutism? Yes, laser hair removal is a viable treatment option for hirsutism patients, on top of PCOS medications and anti-androgens. In this article, we discuss how exactly laser hair removal can help with Hirsutism, and why it might be a better option compared to medical treatments. 

Hirsutism: Everything You Need To Know

Hirsutism is one of the most distressing symptoms of underlying medical conditions, causing severe anxiety and self-consciousness particularly in women. 

What Hirsutism Is and Its Common Symptoms

Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas of the body that either normally grow fine and sparse hair or don’t grow hair at all. This can occur in both men and women, who each have specific patterns of hair growth according to their hormones. 

Hirsute female patients would grow a male type pattern of hair, which means thick facial hair, chest hair, back hair, and inner thighs. Male Hirsute patients also grow hair in these areas, but they are darker, thicker, and coarser almost to the point of extreme body oil production and hygiene problems.

What Causes Hirsutism

The first cause of Hirsutism is either an abnormal production of androgens or abnormal stimulation of the hair follicles. Androgens are the hormones responsible for the development of male reproductive characteristics, the most common one being testosterone. This would explain women diagnosed with Hirsutism growing beards and mustaches, or getting deeper voices than their female peers. 

Another cause is the intake of certain medications like estrogen, opium, and steroids. Some steroids are prescribed by doctors to treat hormonal issues like delayed menstrual cycles in women, but there have been recorded cases of Hirsutism as a side effect of the hormone-inducing compound. 

Other drugs that can cause Hirsutism include the following: 

DIAZOXIE is used to treat symptoms of hypertension and severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) following pancreatic cancer surgery. It can cause Hirsutism because it induces enzymes that make testosterone more active. 

DANAZOL is a synthetic androgen commonly used to treat fibrocystic breast disease in females and hereditary angioedema. It affects the ovaries and pituitary gland and prevents the release of certain hormones. Its androgenic effects have been known to cause Hirsutism as a side effect.

FLUOXETINE or PROZAC is a drug used for treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and panic attacks.

PHENYTOIN or DILANTIN  is often used as an anti-seizure medication, with Hirsutism as one of its many side effects.

CYCLOSPORIN is used to treat psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as to prevent organ rejection following kidney, heart or liver transplant. It often causes unwanted hair growth because it stimulates hair epithelial cell proliferation. 

MINOXIDIL is used to treat male pattern baldness and promotes growth of hair for both men and women, but excess liquid that runs down on the face from the scalp may trigger unwanted facial hair growth. It has also been recorded to be absorbed by the blood and cause Hirsutism as a side effect.

ACITRETIN or SORIATANE is another drug for treating severe psoriasis with Hirsutism as one of its side effects

STREPTOMYCIN is an antibiotic anti-TB drug with Hirsutism as one of its side effects

The third cause of Hirsutism is likely to be any underlying medical condition that relies on androgen-stimulating medications. 

Among the most common are PCOS, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, compromised thyroid, and anorexia: 

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS): Hirsutism is perhaps one of the most distressing symptoms of  PCOS in women, adding to a list of other abnormalities like irregular periods, obesity, infertility and sometimes multiple cysts on the ovaries.

CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA: This is a genetic condition that causes abnormal production of steroid hormones, including androgen and cortisol, the hormones responsible for secondary sex hair growth. 

THYROID: Scientists are still struggling to prove how thyroid causes hair growth indirectly, but historically, there is a correlation between an under-active thyroid and abnormal hair growth.

ANOREXIA: Excessive hair growth is one of the body’s defense mechanisms against starvation, which is an effect of anorexia, along with other eating disorders like bulimia. 

Rare cases of abnormal hair growth between eyes or on the forehead is called hypertrichosis, and can be caused by any of the medical conditions mentioned above. 

There are still some rare cases of Hirsutism that up to now have no identifiable causes linked to them. Hormones are always tricky, but they’re not unsolvable.

What Treatments Are Available for Hirsutism 

Treatment for Hirsutism is not absolutely necessary if doctors find that it isn’t linked to severe conditions like endocrine malfunction or ovarian cysts. More often than not, treatment of the underlying medical conditions can also indirectly affect and inhibit the growth of hair, but there are other remedies that target hair growth specifically, with laser hair removal being one of them.

1) Medication 

Hirsutism medications usually take up to six months, which is the average life cycle of a hair follicle, before you can see any significant change. These include anti-androgens and oral contraceptives for androgen-caused Hirsutism; and Eflornithine (Vaniqa) cream for women with facial hair. 

2) Proper diet

Hirsutism in women has been associated with excess insulin in the bloodstream, leading to a spike in circulating androgen and insulin-like growth factor. Switching to foods like non-starchy vegetables, legumes, antioxidant foods, and fruit are good remedies to insulin imbalance. Avoiding fatty sugary foods can also help regulate the production of hormones, specifically androgens.

3) Vitamin e and B6 Supplements 

Yes, supplements can go a long way in tempering abnormal hair growth, especially given that it’s a hormone-induced condition. Vitamin E in particular normalizes the production of androgen in the body, while Vitamin B6 reduces prolactin, a hormone that stimulates testosterone. 

Some of the richest sources of these vitamins are fish, avocados, organ meats, soybeans, walnuts, peanuts, bananas, sunflower seeds, safflower oil, peanut butter, corn oil, wheat germ oil, and broccoli. 

4) Laser Hair Removal 

If all else fails, cosmetic treatment is the way to go. Laser Hair Removal uses pulsed light to target hair at the follicles and significantly reduce hair regrowth by 90%. With laser hair removal, Hirsutism patients can easily manage overgrown hair without consistent upkeep. With regular use, laser hair removal may also diminish hair regrowth over time.

The bare truth about the loss of your hair

New Post has been published on https://www.easypromhairstyles.com/the-bare-truth-about-the-loss-of-your-hair.html

The bare truth about the loss of your hair

For the average rude, image-conscious man, there are no three words in the English language that are more likely to elicit a clue than … "Baldheaded Male Pattern". A lexical trio that is so frightening that some men (Jude Law, we look at you) think that the best course of action is to completely ignore it.

But why should we? What's so terrible about being bald? Well, nothing. In fact, studies have consistently found that slick guys surpass their hairy cohorts when they are rated in terms of perceived male alpha traits such as masculinity, dominance, and power. In fact, many bald men put up with a stigma that actually only exists in their own, unconvincingly combable heads.

Yes, a complete bald head can mean you can never zip your fake fur-lined parka back to the chin without looking like a hard-boiled egg hurrying out the back of a German shepherd (the dog breed we're) You add yourself). But if that's the only downside, what is it?

To answer these and all other questions, we've briefly covered the topic of male pattern baldness to provide you with everything you need to know before embarking on your journey into the vast hairless world.

Why is this happening?

Especially for young men, recognizing that you are losing your beloved locks may make you feel that God is honoring you and punishing you for a crime that you may have committed or not. In reality, there is something less sacred in the game, but just as uncontrollable.

Premature or other hair loss in men is not caused by the judging hand of an almighty deity, but by genetics and a chemical imbalance of a hormone called DHT (or dihydrotestosterone for syllable fans).

DHT is a chemical derivative of testosterone that is produced when the androgen is mixed with an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, resulting in complicated scientific things with many numbers and letters. What we are really interested in is what DHT actually does.

DHT: The baldness hormone

"The main function of DHT in the body is to maintain and develop the sexual characteristics of the man and to promote a better well-being, as it inhibits the aromatase (an enzyme that is linked to estrogen levels)," explains the renowned hair specialist at Harley Street Raghu Reddy from the private clinic. "It also plays a key role in the development of male characteristics such as facial hair in puberty."

Simply put, DHT is the chemical responsible for giving you a nice, bushy taste savior. Although it can be good news for your chin, DHT can mean a disaster north of the eyebrows.

"While DHT helps with facial hair, it's also one of the factors that contribute to male baldness." Reddy added. "This is because in genetically susceptible men, the activity of DHT hampers the proper growth of hair follicles through a process called 'miniaturization'."

When this happens, the DHT hormone binds to the root of the hair follicle, making the growth stage shorter and shorter with every new cycle. "At some point, the hair will not grow anymore," adds dr. Reddy added. "From this point on the hair loss becomes more visible. This could be in the form of a receding hairline, a thinner coat of hair or the all-too-familiar bald head. "

Dispel the myths

For every male baldness that science has provided us, the Internet spits out several complete and complete fallacies. Allow us to expose five of the most common for you here and now.

The baldness is inherited from your mother's father

Looking at the head of your maternal grandfather is often sold as a surefire Tonsorial barometer, but as any bald grandson with a hairy grandpa will tell you, it's not always accurate.

While the X chromosome contains a key gene for baldness, a chrome dome on both sides of the family could be an indicator of your own hairless future.

Thank you, Uncle Bill.

They only kick back because they are overfilled with testosterone

I'm sorry to break you, but having a shiny melon does not mean that your body is bursting at the seams with testosterone (or "man juice," as we almost wrote, before we quickly realized our mistake) ,

Male baldness depends on testosterone, but does not necessarily mean that you have more than normal (with the obvious exception of Dwayne Johnson). Unfortunately for your boastful rights, the process is mainly due to genetics.

Your hair loss could be due to stress

In contrast to the cartoons that lead you to believe there is no association between high levels of stress and an increase in the likelihood of permanent hair loss, although this has been linked to temporary hair loss.

So do not worry if you put a week's work on your desk at 3:00 pm on Fridays – at least, your hair will not fall out forever. Unless you tear it out right away.

You have worn too much hat

You saw the video for Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" in 2000 and in the next two years refused to take off your red baseball cap. Since then, you have become more bitter than Fred Durst, the bassist and the drummer together. And you probably kick yourself because you've heard that wearing hats can play a role in your follicle fate. But do not worry, that's not really it.

The baldness caused by wearing a hat is simply a story for old women. So you can stop worrying about your youthful headgear habits. As for the regrettable Rap Metal phase … Yes, do not hesitate to berate yourself about it.

The shaving of the hair makes it thicker

Some teenagers with bumblebees and colds have eagerly shaved off his sideburns with his father's mach 3, hoping that maybe – only maybe – The next day he is greeted by Wolverine staring at him from the bathroom mirror. Many have tried; all have failed.

This is because shaving does not really make hair thicker. When the hair regrows, it may feel a bit coarser at first, but that's just because it has a blunt tip.

The psychological fee

Despite all the jokes it has touched, one can not escape the fact that hair loss is no picnic even for the most relaxed people. And it is not a pure image thing. Even for men who do not care about their appearance, a bald head is a sign of aging and a grim reminder that the clock is ticking.

"Although hair loss can have little impact on physical health, it can greatly affect people's mood," explains Kerry Montgomery, a senior scientist at Sheffield Hallam University who has contributed to the psychological implications of hair loss. "Hair is such a big part of our appearance and our identity. It represents our individual image and our individual style. "

Since hair loss is so much more common in men than in women, it is too often assumed that the psychological effects are much less common in people with a Y chromosome. In a world where men's care is a flourishing, multi-billion dollar industry, and social media is more obsessed with image than ever before, that could not be further from the truth.

"We know that men have difficulties," adds Montgomery. "Your daily care can change, the way you look at it, and thinking about how others see their looks are all significant changes. We also know that men are less likely to get help if they have trouble with their mood. "

However, support is available if your masculine bald trip turns out to be particularly harsh. In addition to health services, charities such as Alopecia UK can help people with hair loss, including practical advice and the opportunity to talk to others who are experiencing the same. There is even an international radio show called "The Bald Truth" which is described as a support group for people who lose their hair.

So, if hair loss really bothers you so much, what can you do to combat it?

Toupee or not toupee?

Male pattern baldness is no longer the guaranteed path to a shiny scalp that once was. We may not have a miracle cure yet, but scientists continue to assure us that they are on the brink of a major breakthrough.

In the meantime, you can try some other things to regain some of your hair.

medication

While it is true that a simple solution is only beyond the reach of science, there are medications that can combat the occurrence of hair loss in men – namely Minoxidil (marketed as Rogaine) and Finasteride (sold as Propecia). If you've noticed that you've become thinner at the top, you've probably come across one or both during a hectic Googling session. But do they really work?

"Both finasteride and minoxidil have been proven to preserve existing hair," says Dr. Reddy. Efficacy and outcomes vary from person to person, but the claims that the medications can stop hair loss are actually completely correct.

However, there are a few limitations. "None of the medicines can actually regrow hair," adds dr. Reddy added. "But finasteride tends to reverse the thinning of hair."

If you want to continue using the benefits of the drug, you need to take it until something better happens. This is a financial and other obligation that many men either choose or do not need to take.

Non-surgical hair replacement system

Old-fashioned wigs not only carry a bit of pantomime stigma, but also force the wearer to live in constant fear of strong gusts of wind, thieving pigeons and the hands of curious children sitting in the bus behind them. If the advent of driverless cars, canned sandwiches and real robots has not betrayed the game yet, this is the future we live in, and now we have the hairpieces to prove it.

Non-surgical hair replacement products provide a semi-permanent hair loss solution for men by attaching real hair to the head with a strong adhesive and ensuring that it stays firmly in place no matter how determined the child may be remove.

A hair replacement system allows the wearer to wash, dye and style the hair as if it were his own. The only downside is that it needs to be changed every 2-5 years at a cost of £ 500 + each time.

hair weaving

hair transplant

Semi-permanent options are good and good for some, but if you are looking for the full Monty (or full Rooney), the surgical route is the best way.

"Hair transplantation can significantly restore hair loss to the head and even the beard," explains Dr. Reddy. "It's a permanent solution that can be completed in just one or two sessions."

The procedure works by removing functional hair follicles from the back of the head (the donor site) and implanting them in the top of the head. Once complete, the follicles harvested from the donor site continue to behave as they did before removal, resulting in new hair growth on the previously infertile scalp.

However, what many people who are thinking of treatment fail to realize is that success depends on the combined use of minoxidil or finasteride to prevent un-grafted hair from thinning out. If you are ready to make such a commitment, a hair transplant is probably the best course of action.

Hug the bare life

Pills, potions, surgeries, and wigs may be the answer for some men, and if you are, that's fine. For the rest of us, however, there is a much simpler, faster and cheaper option. Put it this way: If you like the idea of ​​being able to lie in bed for 10 minutes each morning and men in pubs expect you to be twice as hard as yourself, the solution is just a haircut away.

The practice of head shaving has turned bald men into badasses as long as there were razors. This wispy combo can add a touch that you can no longer control. However, if you pick up a pair of hair clippers, remove the guard, and get to work, sit back on the heavy driver's seat and experience hair loss on your own terms.

If you talk to a shaved maven, he'll probably tell you how much better he felt after he stopped desperately clinging to his last hair and bracing himself to take it off once and for all. It can be a liberating experience. Also, keep it out of the way while you're still young and get yourself a head start on your peers, most of whom are struggling with the onset of hair loss and a mid-life crisis all at the same time.

But those are not the only pluses when it comes to choosing the nuclear option. Once you've invested in and dealt with a range of hair clippers, you'll find that you're practically making money with money you would otherwise have given to a hairdresser who has tried in vain to disguise your ever-diminishing hairline. And as you are perceived by potential partners, just look at Jason Statham and Samuel L. Jackson. Even Larry David, who refuses to shave his back and sides, has made the look his own.

How to shave your head

Removing the lint is a big step, but you probably know it's right. But before you take the plunge, make sure you know what you are doing. With that in mind, we asked Joe Mills, one of London's best hairdressers, for advice.

"If you think the time has come to shave your head, then I would suggest you cut it off first," says Mills. "At first you want to start in the 3rd grade and then work shorter. If you have a round face, I would suggest that you have a 3 or 2 at the top and top of the sides and make a 1 and a crossfade around the edges. This will help to slightly change the shape of your face. "The trick is to keep the cut because it does not look good when it fluffs."

So pretty easy. However, if you have a taste of the bleak life and long for the next hit, you may decide to bring the razor in.

"If you want to shave your head bald, it's best to do it the same way you do on the face," explains Mills. "First, cut the hair off with a hair clipper, then moisten your scalp with warm water and apply a shaving cream or gel. The hair on your head are different from your face and are usually less coarse. Also, your scalp is not used to a razor. Rinse the blade regularly during shaving to keep it clean and free from stubble. "

The best haircuts for thinning hair

If you have not quite reached the thinning point of Prince William, then you should consider cutting your hairdresser off before you start to eat ham with the Bic and the shaving cream. Granted, no matter how good your hairdresser is, he can not restore any of your lost curls, but he can give you a cut that flatters your returning hairline.

But what should you ask for? Here is a selection of the best options.

The buzz cut

If you use a hair clipper to bring your hair to a consistent length anywhere, you can even out a diminishing hairline without balding. If you are thinking about shaving your head but want to test the water first, this may be the trim you are looking for.

The high and tight

If you're looking for the illusion of thicker hair, this sibling kid can give you the extra volume you want for the military crew. The cut is very short at the top and shorter at the back and sides. This will help create some balance between the thinning hair around the crown and the denser hair elsewhere.

The slicked-back undercut

This undercut look is a good option if the affected area is on the crown of your head. The combed back length on the top covers all embarrassing bald spots as soon as they are styled. Just try to avoid swimming pools.

The short harvest

If your thinning is still relatively low, a short harvest may be a good way. This style is cut short with scissors and makes your locks appear fuller than they really are.

Final thoughts

So far from being the terrible fate of many men. Getting bald is just a natural part of the aging process, and there are a number of things you can do to fight it if you decide it's the way to go.

However, do us a favor and try shaving your head first before spending your life savings on an expensive cosmetic procedure. Once you save money, have more time in the morning, and get compliments, you may never realize that a little hair is not that important.

The bare truth about the loss of your hair

For the average rude, image-conscious man, there are no three words in the English language that are more likely to elicit a clue than … "Baldheaded Male Pattern". A lexical trio that is so frightening that some men (Jude Law, we look at you) think that the best course of action is to completely ignore it.

But why should we? What's so terrible about being bald? Well, nothing. In fact, studies have consistently found that slick guys surpass their hairy cohorts when they are rated in terms of perceived male alpha traits such as masculinity, dominance, and power. In fact, many bald men put up with a stigma that actually only exists in their own, unconvincingly combable heads.

Yes, a complete bald head can mean you can never zip your fake fur-lined parka back to the chin without looking like a hard-boiled egg hurrying out the back of a German shepherd (the dog breed we're) You add yourself). But if that's the only downside, what is it?

To answer these and all other questions, we've briefly covered the topic of male pattern baldness to provide you with everything you need to know before embarking on your journey into the vast hairless world.

Why is this happening?

Especially for young men, recognizing that you are losing your beloved locks may make you feel that God is honoring you and punishing you for a crime that you may have committed or not. In reality, there is something less sacred in the game, but just as uncontrollable.

Premature or other hair loss in men is not caused by the judging hand of an almighty deity, but by genetics and a chemical imbalance of a hormone called DHT (or dihydrotestosterone for syllable fans).

DHT is a chemical derivative of testosterone that is produced when the androgen is mixed with an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, resulting in complicated scientific things with many numbers and letters. What we are really interested in is what DHT actually does.

DHT: The baldness hormone

"The main function of DHT in the body is to maintain and develop the sexual characteristics of the man and to promote a better well-being, as it inhibits the aromatase (an enzyme that is linked to estrogen levels)," explains the renowned hair specialist at Harley Street Raghu Reddy from the private clinic. "It also plays a key role in the development of male characteristics such as facial hair in puberty."

Simply put, DHT is the chemical responsible for giving you a nice, bushy taste savior. Although it can be good news for your chin, DHT can mean a disaster north of the eyebrows.

"While DHT helps with facial hair, it's also one of the factors that contribute to male baldness." Reddy added. "This is because in genetically susceptible men, the activity of DHT hampers the proper growth of hair follicles through a process called 'miniaturization'."

When this happens, the DHT hormone binds to the root of the hair follicle, making the growth stage shorter and shorter with every new cycle. "At some point, the hair will not grow anymore," adds dr. Reddy added. "From this point on the hair loss becomes more visible. This could be in the form of a receding hairline, a thinner coat of hair or the all-too-familiar bald head. "

Dispel the myths

For every male baldness that science has provided us, the Internet spits out several complete and complete fallacies. Allow us to expose five of the most common for you here and now.

The baldness is inherited from your mother's father

Looking at the head of your maternal grandfather is often sold as a surefire Tonsorial barometer, but as any bald grandson with a hairy grandpa will tell you, it's not always accurate.

While the X chromosome contains a key gene for baldness, a chrome dome on both sides of the family could be an indicator of your own hairless future.

Thank you, Uncle Bill.

They only kick back because they are overfilled with testosterone

I'm sorry to break you, but having a shiny melon does not mean that your body is bursting at the seams with testosterone (or "man juice," as we almost wrote, before we quickly realized our mistake) ,

Male baldness depends on testosterone, but does not necessarily mean that you have more than normal (with the obvious exception of Dwayne Johnson). Unfortunately for your boastful rights, the process is mainly due to genetics.

Your hair loss could be due to stress

In contrast to the cartoons that lead you to believe there is no association between high levels of stress and an increase in the likelihood of permanent hair loss, although this has been linked to temporary hair loss.

So do not worry if you put a week's work on your desk at 3:00 pm on Fridays – at least, your hair will not fall out forever. Unless you tear it out right away.

You have worn too much hat

You saw the video for Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" in 2000 and in the next two years refused to take off your red baseball cap. Since then, you have become more bitter than Fred Durst, the bassist and the drummer together. And you probably kick yourself because you've heard that wearing hats can play a role in your follicle fate. But do not worry, that's not really it.

The baldness caused by wearing a hat is simply a story for old women. So you can stop worrying about your youthful headgear habits. As for the regrettable Rap Metal phase … Yes, do not hesitate to berate yourself about it.

The shaving of the hair makes it thicker

Some teenagers with bumblebees and colds have eagerly shaved off his sideburns with his father's mach 3, hoping that maybe – only maybe – The next day he is greeted by Wolverine staring at him from the bathroom mirror. Many have tried; all have failed.

This is because shaving does not really make hair thicker. When the hair regrows, it may feel a bit coarser at first, but that's just because it has a blunt tip.

The psychological fee

Despite all the jokes it has touched, one can not escape the fact that hair loss is no picnic even for the most relaxed people. And it is not a pure image thing. Even for men who do not care about their appearance, a bald head is a sign of aging and a grim reminder that the clock is ticking.

"Although hair loss can have little impact on physical health, it can greatly affect people's mood," explains Kerry Montgomery, a senior scientist at Sheffield Hallam University who has contributed to the psychological implications of hair loss. "Hair is such a big part of our appearance and our identity. It represents our individual image and our individual style. "

Since hair loss is so much more common in men than in women, it is too often assumed that the psychological effects are much less common in people with a Y chromosome. In a world where men's care is a flourishing, multi-billion dollar industry, and social media is more obsessed with image than ever before, that could not be further from the truth.

"We know that men have difficulties," adds Montgomery. "Your daily care can change, the way you look at it, and thinking about how others see their looks are all significant changes. We also know that men are less likely to get help if they have trouble with their mood. "

However, support is available if your masculine bald trip turns out to be particularly harsh. In addition to health services, charities such as Alopecia UK can help people with hair loss, including practical advice and the opportunity to talk to others who are experiencing the same. There is even an international radio show called "The Bald Truth" which is described as a support group for people who lose their hair.

So, if hair loss really bothers you so much, what can you do to combat it?

Toupee or not toupee?

Male pattern baldness is no longer the guaranteed path to a shiny scalp that once was. We may not have a miracle cure yet, but scientists continue to assure us that they are on the brink of a major breakthrough.

In the meantime, you can try some other things to regain some of your hair.

medication

While it is true that a simple solution is only beyond the reach of science, there are medications that can combat the occurrence of hair loss in men – namely Minoxidil (marketed as Rogaine) and Finasteride (sold as Propecia). If you've noticed that you've become thinner at the top, you've probably come across one or both during a hectic Googling session. But do they really work?

"Both finasteride and minoxidil have been proven to preserve existing hair," says Dr. Reddy. Efficacy and outcomes vary from person to person, but the claims that the medications can stop hair loss are actually completely correct.

However, there are a few limitations. "None of the medicines can actually regrow hair," adds dr. Reddy added. "But finasteride tends to reverse the thinning of hair."

If you want to continue using the benefits of the drug, you need to take it until something better happens. This is a financial and other obligation that many men either choose or do not need to take.

Non-surgical hair replacement system

Old-fashioned wigs not only carry a bit of pantomime stigma, but also force the wearer to live in constant fear of strong gusts of wind, thieving pigeons and the hands of curious children sitting in the bus behind them. If the advent of driverless cars, canned sandwiches and real robots has not betrayed the game yet, this is the future we live in, and now we have the hairpieces to prove it.

Non-surgical hair replacement products provide a semi-permanent hair loss solution for men by attaching real hair to the head with a strong adhesive and ensuring that it stays firmly in place no matter how determined the child may be remove.

A hair replacement system allows the wearer to wash, dye and style the hair as if it were his own. The only downside is that it needs to be changed every 2-5 years at a cost of £ 500 + each time.

hair weaving

hair transplant

Semi-permanent options are good and good for some, but if you are looking for the full Monty (or full Rooney), the surgical route is the best way.

"Hair transplantation can significantly restore hair loss to the head and even the beard," explains Dr. Reddy. "It's a permanent solution that can be completed in just one or two sessions."

The procedure works by removing functional hair follicles from the back of the head (the donor site) and implanting them in the top of the head. Once complete, the follicles harvested from the donor site continue to behave as they did before removal, resulting in new hair growth on the previously infertile scalp.

However, what many people who are thinking of treatment fail to realize is that success depends on the combined use of minoxidil or finasteride to prevent un-grafted hair from thinning out. If you are ready to make such a commitment, a hair transplant is probably the best course of action.

Hug the bare life

Pills, potions, surgeries, and wigs may be the answer for some men, and if you are, that's fine. For the rest of us, however, there is a much simpler, faster and cheaper option. Put it this way: If you like the idea of ​​being able to lie in bed for 10 minutes each morning and men in pubs expect you to be twice as hard as yourself, the solution is just a haircut away.

The practice of head shaving has turned bald men into badasses as long as there were razors. This wispy combo can add a touch that you can no longer control. However, if you pick up a pair of hair clippers, remove the guard, and get to work, sit back on the heavy driver's seat and experience hair loss on your own terms.

If you talk to a shaved maven, he'll probably tell you how much better he felt after he stopped desperately clinging to his last hair and bracing himself to take it off once and for all. It can be a liberating experience. Also, keep it out of the way while you're still young and get yourself a head start on your peers, most of whom are struggling with the onset of hair loss and a mid-life crisis all at the same time.

But those are not the only pluses when it comes to choosing the nuclear option. Once you've invested in and dealt with a range of hair clippers, you'll find that you're practically making money with money you would otherwise have given to a hairdresser who has tried in vain to disguise your ever-diminishing hairline. And as you are perceived by potential partners, just look at Jason Statham and Samuel L. Jackson. Even Larry David, who refuses to shave his back and sides, has made the look his own.

How to shave your head

Removing the lint is a big step, but you probably know it's right. But before you take the plunge, make sure you know what you are doing. With that in mind, we asked Joe Mills, one of London's best hairdressers, for advice.

Treatments for after a hair transplant

Hair grafts are delicate surgeries. That's why our patients leave out hair transplant center in Delhi with a series of tips they must adhere to. And in addition, it is very possible that they are recommended by hair transplant surgeon in Delhi to follow treatments after a hair transplant.

Depending on the particular case of each patient, we can opt for two types of surgery, with the FUSS or FUE techniques. And the treatments for after hair transplant in Delhi will also be assessed according to each case.

Recall that FUE stands for Follicular Extraction Unit. FUE hair transplant in Delhi technique that redistributes the hair follicles. For this, scalp micrografts are obtained from another area of ​​the patient (usually in the posterior or lateral area). The hair follicles that contain that extracted tissue are analyzed and prepared. Then they are implanted by means of microincisions in areas with less capillary density or with alopecia.

For its part, FUSS stands for Follicular Unit Strip Surgery. It is a hair transplant technique with capillary graft. You will also hear about her as a "strip" technique. In this case, a thin strip of skin between 15 and 20 cm long and approximately 1 cm wide is extracted. Normally the strip is obtained from the posterior or lateral area of ​​the head. A stitch is made with stitches and there is a scar that aesthetically is almost invisible when it is concealed by the surrounding hair. That band of hair is grafted in the depopulated area and where the hair grows back.

With both techniques you can recover hair in the entrances, in the frontal line, in the crown ... The results are spectacular.

However, it is usual to recommend treatments after a hair transplant in South Delhi. The goal is to achieve even better hair quality. And therefore, a global improvement of the image. In any case, the patient must also follow certain indications of care to keep the hair grafted.

Treatments for after a hair transplant: which

Minoxidil

It is a medicine that is used to stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss. It can be used in cases of alopecia and hair loss in men and women. As a general guideline, it is usually recommended to 5% for men and 3 or 4% in women to avoid the appearance of facial hair (hirsutism) that is described in 5-10% of cases. 

When its use comes, our hair transplant doctor in Delhi indicates the beginning of the Minoxidil lotion between 15-30 days post-surgery.

It is a lotion that is applied topically, with sprays and a gentle massage on the scalp. Most patients prefer to use it at night, because it is left to act during the night and, when they wake up, they can wash their heads.

Minoxidil has a vasodilatory effect. It stimulates capillary microcirculation with the consequent increase in blood supply.

Its action, like the Finasteride, which we will talk about later, is greater at the level of the upper area of ​​the head and crown and less effective in the front-line area and inlets.

Finasteride

Another of the post-transplant treatments that can be indicated is Finasteride. This drug acts as an inhibitor of an enzyme (5-alpha-reductase type II), which is responsible for transforming testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). And this DHT is the enzyme responsible for the terminal hair, as well as acne or the growth of the prostate. In individuals with androgenetic alopecia, DHT acts at the level of the hair follicle accelerating its growth phase. The hair is refined by a miniaturization process, until its life cycle is exhausted prematurely.

Finasteride is usually indicated for men with androgenetic alopecia (combination of hormonal factors and genetic predisposition) between 18 and 40 years of age. Like Minoxidil, it is usually more effective at the upper and crown area than in the front and front lines. It is administered orally.

Other treatments

Vitamins

Beyond drugs such as Finasteride or Minoxidil, oral or infiltrated vitamins can be another treatment after a transplant indicated in some cases.

PRP

This is how the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment is known . In this case, blood is drawn from the patient himself. In the laboratory, the plasma fractions are separated by controlled centrifugation for 9 minutes. That plasma rich in growth factors is administered with microinjections in the patient's scalp. 

The PRP is able to stimulate the formation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. It also increases vascularization at the level of the hair follicle. With all this is indicated as a method of brake fall and also to promote regeneration in patients with moderate hair loss.

These post-transplant treatments can be indicated in combination. It is usual, for example, for the FUE technique to be supplemented with 3 months of oral vitamins and 3 sessions of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). Or that a patient of the FUSS technique is instructed to take vitamins orally and, as a long-term maintenance treatment, 5% Minoxidil and Finasteride 1 mg orally.

Our specialists will tell you what treatments after the best hair transplant in Delhi are the most suitable for your case. Request an appointment without commitment.
