Question 1

accutane leaving scar tissue on my face resulted in no hair growth in that area of my face is there anyway to grow that hair ?

Accepted Answer

Doubt: If you have acne scars on your face, your hair folicles are most likely irreversibly scarred as well that will make it impossible to restore your hair. I doubt that hair transplantation will help, as the hair bed is damaged by scarring. I would just recur to daily shaving to level the existing hair with the skin.

Question 2

lipoma removed 2 days ago, section of head still numb not near incision.  will numb go away?  if not will it hurt my hair growth in the numb area?

Accepted Answer

Scalp numbness: Skin nerves can be indirectly or directly affected by surgery. Depending on the location of the surgery (especially along the back of the head near the neck), scalp nervses can become temporarily or permanently numb. It can take some months for sensation to return too. Nerve sensation to the scalp would not be related to hair loss.

Question 3

does taking hair loss pills restart the hair growth in the pubic area that has brazilian ipl done?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Only hair follicles that are not destroyed will return. The IPL may put some follicles into the telogen (sleep) phase and growth may return several months after treatment but supplements are unlikely to cause re-growth of damaged follicular units

Question 4

would going on the pill help to reduce excessive hair growth in the pubic area ? could this be caused by a hormone imbalance ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on pattern of growth and family history of patterns. Checking hormones and other tests, could confirm if medication is appropriate or needed.

Accepted Answer

GOOD DIET, EXERCISE, AND VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS THAT YOUR PCP MIGHT RECOMMEND.

Question 7

ways to enhance hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil/propecia: These are currently two of the most popular options available bt there are many other suggested treatments including surgical options.

Question 8

how can i increase hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Cut back on fatty foods and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and fish. I know diet seems unrelated to your hair, but it makes a huge difference. It also improves your body at the same time. You may want to take some vitamin tablets, but i suggest you ask someone behind the counter for advice on which ones are best for your hair growth. Most recommended seems to be b-complex.

Question 9

how to stimulate hair growth in face?

Accepted Answer

Different ancestors: Be grateful you are not burdened by an itchy bush on your face. Enjoy who you are. The amount and type of facial hair is largely determined by genetics. Nothing you can do about it. But why would you want to???

Question 10

what is a good product for hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Seek Qualified Help: Before you go 'shopping' for hair growth products, treatments &services, the first most important thing to do is find a doctor qualified to diagnose, measure, treat &track your hair loss/hair growth over time. Unfortunately, few doctors have the time, knowledge &motivation to do this. Effective treatments are often stopped too soon, before results are realized! you need a pro on your side!
