Can You Treat Diffuse Hair Loss with Hair Transplant Surgery?

Whether a man or woman is experiencing general hair thinning versus an actual balding pattern, they should always begin with medical therapy. Today’s advanced combination medicines can effectively treat early hair loss and thinning. If medical treatment is ineffective in accomplishing the patient’s cosmetic goals, then hair transplant surgery within the existing hair can effectively establish the desired hair density.

This patient, Michael, is a healthcare professional in his mid-40s. He had diffuse male pattern thinning in a Norwood 5-6 distribution. He has been on medical hair loss therapy, including PRP, oral minoxidil, topical dutasteride, and other treatments to stabilize his hair loss. Subsequently, he had two FUT (linear strip extraction) procedures with Dr. Boden and is thrilled with the density and naturalness of his hair.
