I've just turn 24 recently and I'm thinking about getting a hairtansplant, maybe not now but eventually I will... I have the feeling that I lost some grounds there

Don't see a lot of difference but it was only 2 months. If your not on meds now is the time. Also you don't want to have a HT if the men in your family are NW 6 or 7 without trying to stabilize your hairloss first. Otherwise you are in a loop of trying to chase getting more hair and by the time the transplants grow you have lost just as much as grew in.

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my English it's not my first language. I'm 23 years old and I'm receding till my 18. I've been on finasteride for almost 3 years but my hairline keep receding. So I've jump on rogaine foam and nizoral shampoo for maintain or maybe have some regrowth...Family history, my dad is a solid nw1 in his fifties but I have 2 uncle on my mother side who are nw 4 and they are like 30ish...

You need to get a hair bulk analysis and hair mapping for miniaturization. I am not sure if you are balding.

miniaturization mapping described in detail: http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/rese...eo-microscopy/

Rassman and Bernstein are original old school heavy hitters in the field. These are things that should be universally practiced by hair restoration surgeons. "Eyeballing" it is not enough to make accurate predictions of future patterns or even see early stages of loss. Objective and empirical data is needed to make the most educated decision in terms of a
Treatment Protocol.

Me again with more picture.... at this point I don't know what to think about

[christophermitchell]

And here the pictures where you can see clearly that I got MPB

[christophermitchell]

Almost 1 month on minoxidil liquid, honestly I prefer the foam cause it's really easy to apply and it was not making my hair greasy....However, my pocket is really happy. This is some picture after almost 4 months on minox. No big improvement but it's really weird cause I can see some little hair and peach fuzz where I apply the product....what do you think????

[christophermitchell]

Little update,
I've switch to kirkland liquid because I can't afford rogaine foam.... I think with the little dropper I will respect the right dosage. I still don't see an improvement in my hairline, just some peach fuzz. I still gonna continue my regiment and see what's going to happen.

Cheers

Thanks for responding;
I think my dermatologist would never prescribe me fin without a diagnostic, I guess I'm just responding well to medication and I catch it at the right time. I don't have to stress too much about it and just live my life....

However, I'm trying minox foam and here my hairline after 2 month ish;


Cheers

Morning,
Like a v shape of the hairline is not supposed to mean the start of the balding process?

Just a V-shape does not necessarily mean MPB. It could just be a mature hairline. MPB is different for every person, looking at your relatives is the best way to predict what will happen to you.

edit: I just saw your pictures on top of the page and to me it doesn't look like you're really going bald, but since you're so young and I have no idea what your hair looks like in person and how your relatives are doing hair-wise, don't take my word for it.

It doesn't look to me like there is much reason for concern yet. Then again, if your dermatologist says you do have MPB and gave you fin, I'm sure he/she knows something I don't. I do think it's odd that you would get a prescription for fin without him/her even looking at your scalp. Maybe try to get a second opinion from another derm or go for a consult at a hair clinic or something?

Hi johny,
I got some thinning on my hairline around 18-19 years old.... and at this moment I saw a dermatologist who told me that I got hairloss. He never really look at my hair clearly but he put me on finasteride and now I just have the feeling that I'm loosing more and more hair. Maybe I just got a mature hairline or maybe not but I don't wanna take any chances....
Cheers

Hi,
I read all your posts and viewed your photos. I just wonder, why do you think your hair is receding? In my opinion you have a pretty good hairline as well as the crown. Your hair looks thick and very strong.

Little update,
I change generic finasteride for proscar. Apparently it's the same thing and it's gonna help me alot financially cause I'm a student. I just have a few questions.....
1. Should I expect some shedding if I change finasteride for (1/4)proscar ?
2. I use minoxidil foam, when should I reach the full potential of the product?

Thank you
