Predicting Hair Loss through Miniaturization Mapping

Mapping the scalp for miniaturization can help predict a patient’s future balding pattern thereby assisting the physician in creating a long term plan for hair restoration. It also provides a baseline for measuring the effectiveness of hair loss treatments like Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia (finasteride). So what is miniaturization mapping? How is it performed? And, how can it benefit you?

In the thread entitled Miniaturization Analysis, Hair Restoration Forum members explore the importance of examining the scalp for miniaturization prior to hair transplant surgery.   You are encouraged to share your experiences and add your input to this critical topic.
