Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 My son wore the band for close to 3 months, and he also developed a " balder " spot in the back where the seam of the band was. It took I think more or less 2 months for it to fully grow back in. Hope this helps! ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 HI Eleanor: My Abby never lost any of her hair in 8 mos time in 2 bands....she has always had a ton of hair. I've never heard of permanent hair loss due to wearing a band.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hi Eleanor, My son Boris was treated by Dr.Blecher also. I noticed that Boris has less hair on the prominent part of his head. It's been like that since early days when we noticed the flatness. And I think that being in a band made it worse. He does have hear, but much less then everywhere else on his head. And it seems like it grows slower than the rest of it. Or maybe he rubs it a lot when sleeping, and because that is still the prominent part, he loses a lot of hear there. It does concern me, because it's been three months since he's out of the band, and no improvement. I'd really like to hear from other members about this. Some of you probably remember me, the old members. I'm not leaving you ever, reading all the posts every day. Love you guys!!!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Hi Aleqsandra, Thankyou for your reply - Just wondering if you could tell me a little about Boris's treatment. I am getting the band fitted next Monday and am a little anxious about the whole thing. How old was Boris when he started the treatment and how long did he have to wear it for? Was he severe? Hoe did you find the whole treatment? What kind of results have you had? Dr Blecher said that ons case was moderate and if left - was 50/50 chance of getting any better - he has a flat back of his head - more to the right - is about 1.5 cm out - but has pretty much symmetrical face with only slight move on the ears and frontal. We had him casted anyway - do you think it was neccessary - need a little reassurance ( sorry for bombarding you with questions!!
