#BAM No Surgery. No Pills Yes Hairline?: Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. (NYC )

#BeforeAndAfterMondays

While it cannot be assumed that all patients will develop a fuller hairline without a surgical intervention or without taking oral medication, this 35-year-old male benefitted from a non-surgical approach.

In addition to undergoing 2 Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP/ACell) treatments with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley, he also used a topical finasteride blend each night. The high percentage and broad distribution of miniaturized hairs throughout his hairline made him a good candidate for this approach.

With this non-surgical approach to treating hair loss, he was able to reverse the biologic course of the thousands of miniaturized follicles atop his head and generate more hair fullness. Dr. Wesley previously delivered an in-depth lecture on PRP scalp treatment for genetic hair loss detailing all aspects of this procedure. The benefits and limitations of PRP procedures are described in this video for all interested patients who would like to learn more about this novel therapy.


The patient returned one year after his PRP treatment series (involving 2 procedures) and images of the patient can be seen below.

It would be nice to know just how much of the transformation is due to the two PRP treatments and how much is due to the topical finasteride. Either way, this patient has a nice outcome from the non surgical treatments. Can I ask what this patient €™s PRP maintenance schedule will be for the PRP? Thanks for sharing.

¬b` Remarkable.
Question (sorry it's not directly related to this patient) If a patient were to have an FUE and Scalp pigmentation combination for a short haired look. Would he then be able to use Topical Finasteride without it being detrimental to the pigments?
TIA
