Doctors say follicular units contain 1,2,3, and sometimes even 4 hairs per unit. My questions is, when miniaturization occurs, does the whole follicular unit get affected at the same time or does the individual hairs within the unit miniaturize at a different pace and time frame? Hopefully my question is clear.</p>Best regards! I know you keep busy with the blog and practice!
When miniaturization (http://www.baldingblog.com/2006/08/31/miniaturization-and-hair-loss-more-than-meets-the-eye/) occurs, each hair within the follicular unit seems to have its own time clock, but the follicular unit itself will miniaturize in the patterned area at a different pace, area by area. Often in young men, the frontal hairs will miniaturize faster than the hairs on the top of the head, about 4 inches behind the hairline. As the hairs within the follicular unit miniaturize and it progresses, one hair at a time may drop out and die before another one within the follicular units takes its genetic course.
