DUPA or telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia or normal? (Photos)

Asked By:alexmillne in Kansas

I have MPB (hairline) and took Finasteride for 2 years. A Trichoscope exam suggested Telogen Effluvium, which confuses me as I didn't experience significant shedding. 3 months later, I had a hair transplant with a different doctor who noticed some miniaturization in my donor area. I'm 37 years old and wondering if this is normal. Seeking expert insights on the Trichoscope results regarding miniaturization. Is my donor area safe? My hair has always been thin, wavy, and fine.
