"I'm a comedian. I perform at over a hundred gigs a year at colleges, universities and on cruise ships. That means I stand in front of about a hundred thousand people. Not an easy task if you have insecurities about the way you look, like I did. When I was on stage, I wanted people to laugh at my jokes, not at my hair, or even worse, at my hairpiece.

My hairloss started when I was 20. I was desperate to find a solution so I wore a hairpiece thinking it was the most economical fix to my problem. Nine years and over ten thousand dollars later, I am here to say that the only real solution to thinning hair is to replace what you've lost with your own growing hair. And, do whatever you need to do to prevent it from getting worse.

It's been five years since I met Dr. Brandy, and I couldn't be happier. My result is amazing and all I do now is take Propecia to keep the hair I have. Every morning I find myself smiling in the mirror with a brush in hand, not a bottle of hairpiece glue. Now, when I'm on stage and a guy in the audience wants me to crack a bald joke at the expense of a friend, I know better. Somehow I manage to turn the joke on him instead."

A recent article published in the American Society for Dermatological Surgery reports that combining certain drug therapies with surgical treatment for hair loss may provide better results than when either treatment is performed alone.

According to the study, when finasteride, the active ingredient in Propecia®, was given for a one-year period, beginning four weeks prior to the hair transplant surgery and continuing for 48 weeks post-surgery, patients saw a significant improvement in hair growth, hair counts, and improvement in scalp hair, hair density and growth of non-transplanted hair, compared to that of the placebo group.

"Combining consistent Propecia® use with hair transplant surgery has yielded very positive results for many of our patients," said Dominic Brandy, MD, founding medical director of BrandyMD & Associates. "Propecia® helps to improve the overall growth and retention of non-transplanted hair, which ultimately improves the aesthetic result in patients with thinning hair."

Laser Light Therapy (LLT) is the latest non-surgical attempt at obtaining a thicker head of hair. It works by supplying energy to the body in the form of infrared low-level cool laser light. The body is able to absorb this energy on a cellular level and transform the light energy into chemical energy. The body then uses this energy to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. In the case of hairloss, LLT has proven to be an effective treatment for some men and women.

LLT uses low-level cool laser rays applied directly on the scalp. There are no thermal components that might cause cuts or burns to the inner tissue. The goal of LLT is to stimulate the nerves, muscles and growth centers of the follicular unit. According to the manufacturer, LLT stimulates the scalp on the cellular level which may create a healthier environment for your hair, scalp and skin - maximizing your hairs potential for growth. Hair may appear thicker, fuller and healthier.

The best candidates for LLT are individuals whose hairloss is more recent, preferably within the past five years. Those who have seen improvement through its use were never completely bald, but instead had fine hairs growing in the thinning area.
