Not necessarily, but you need an in-person evaluation to know for sure. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The best way to minimize effects are as follows:-limit dosage to every other day or lower dose if concerned-switch to topical formula with retinoic acid such as Formula82F (retinoic acid helps penetration)-consider use of alternatives including growth factors / prp/ etcBest, Dr. Anil Shah

Width, length, presence of outer and inner root sheath and pigmentation should differentiate between the two. A white card test looking at the distal ends of the hair is also helpful. A horizontal 3 level biopsy will easily tell you the terminal /vellus ratio.PRP hair md.com
