"Sorry Botox for excess sweating in FFA Donovan hair clinic "
"The Donovan hair clinic in Canada has an article about Botox for excess swearing in FFA. Just google Donovan excess sweating FFA and you’ll find it quickly "
"I’ve heard of Botox being used to treat excess sweating associated with FFA, I don’t think the majority of alopecia specialists see an association. "
Frontal Fibrosing Sucess and Burnout Stories
A site dedicated to tracking success separate from a broadly focused site on FFA. When people are new to the diagnosis and searching for info, the success side of things is elusive while the dark side is at every turn. I think this is in part because with success, one moves on. I want to make a plea for people to leave their good stories --- timeline and treatment --- here as those of us who are early in the process need the hope and understanding that success and burnout do happen.
"And yet I wonder if all those meds and treatment will even make a difference. My mother had FFA, didn't know it and never treated it. Fortunately for her it ' burned' out and she didn't look too bad when she passed away at 90.…"
"I find the ointments to be just awful, Ive had greasy bangs since Ive started "

"She's incredibly brave. Good for her, I hope more women come forward. I don't think her hair loss is from traction alopecia though, it looks more like alopecia areata "
" I'm so glad it slowed down. I'm hoping mine does or in a perfect world burn itself out as my mother's did."
"I'm new and so I just read this post. That pharmacist could get in a lot of trouble for his thoughtless advice. They are licensed to dispense, not prescribe. The one mg a day is the dose for men treating male pattern baldness. Unbelievable that…"
" I guess doing a transplant makes sense depending on your disposable income. If 10,000 AUD is what you make in a week then I say it makes some sense. If that's your income for a month then I don't know? Jeffrey Epstein, our local…"
"From what I've read hair transplants do well initially if your FFA is somewhat inactive but the long term results are variable with the majority of recipients loosing most of the transplanted hair after four years. There was a case of a woman…"
"Ive been recently diagnosed as well and just joined the forum. I'm reading about a lot of members stopping botox and various skin products. Well I inherited FFA from my mother . She passed away two years ago at 90. Her FFA stabilized without…"
