    TLDR Starting a hair transplant practice is challenging due to the need for skilled professionals and careful post-procedure care.
    The document discusses the challenges beginners might face when setting up a hair transplantation practice. Hair transplantation is a rapidly evolving procedure in aesthetic surgery and is gaining attention in dermatology. However, it is a time-consuming and tedious procedure that requires highly skilled professionals and labor. Hand-eye coordination is crucial for performing such delicate surgeries. The document also advises avoiding alcohol for the first five days after the procedure as it can dehydrate you, prolong recovery time, increase discomfort, elevate blood pressure to unsafe levels, and reduce the supply of blood and crucial nutrients to the head.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

      community Bad experience at Dermatologist

      in Update  43 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.
