Recently i saw a good HT doctor about the possibility of a transplant. He recommended that i have very fine hair and miniaturisation in the donor area (lots of 1's and 2's as he put it) then i would not be a suitable candidate. His advice was to bald gracefully as i do not want to use fin and minox didnt work. I still look like i have most my hair but am told it is thinning all over. Why would my donor miniaturise? Could it be that it was always naturally thin? Temples and crown are worse.

Answer: Diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) Some men develop a pattern of genetic hair loss known as diffuse unpatterned alopecia or DUPA. You can read more in the link belowThe best options are minoxidil and finasteride but you can consider low level laser and platelet rich plasma. Hair transplant is not an option. These hairs miniaturize even quicker with trauma of surgery.To answer your question, no it is quite unlikely your donor area was always thin with 1s and 2s. You most likely developed this thinning in parallel to the thinning in the other regions.You are wise to be caution about side effects of any medication. But sit down first with an experienced physican to gather all the facts.

Answer: It could be naturally thin and/or be a diffuse pattern hair loss that is common in females but occurs in males as well. You still have potential for a transplant, but the results just wont be as amazing as a patient without this pattern.
