    HELLO Tedwuji !
    Im here-lol.

    Ted' your hair looks GREAT now!
    Good for you!!
    I too have been on Finasteride. I have been using that med' since Aug. 2013
    'My side effects have been minor to zero' as well!

    Now that you are 32 years old, you are starting to have proper and GOOD foresight now, the ability to predict the consequences of your actions.
    That being said, you would not ALLOW hairloss to ruin your emotions and your life-which is great.
    To your point,,,
    It doesn't seem like you really need to have hair transplantation as yet but that is really up to you ..
    If you would like, set up a consultation with Dr. Carlos Wesley, ("Pilofocus").
    He is there in New York City, Manhattan!

    He is VERY SINCERE and would not fool you into thinking that it was seriously needed .
    He would give you very good objective advice.
    (I have been the second patient of his Pilofocus 3rd phase testings~ last Nov. 2015)

    Cheers !

    I suppose it all comes down to how much it bothers you .

    Good research on the family history by the way - I can get as far as my Dad and that's about it !
    Thanks, it may be the way I am leaning until age 35 or so.

    Hello, my name is Adam and this is my introduction and story. I am a 32 year old guy. I first began noticing hair loss at age 25 or 26. I was nearly 27 when I started finasteride. It has halted my loss almost completely and that is after some minor reverse miniaturization during the first two years of use. My side effects have been minor to zero. I will attach a word doc with my family history and more details about my finasteride experience. I will also attach some photos of my hair. My microscopic hair mapping for miniaturization and hair bulk analysis showed 38% loss in density in the leading 3 inches of the front of my scalp. I have about 20% miniaturization on the top of my head and roughly 10% on my crown. The top and crown pretty much appear normal with no loss. The front has clearly lost density but the hairline itself is still pretty much in it's original starting place, despite the lost density. I have always had a naturally high hairline and as you can see by some of my photos I can still style my hair with wax or pomade to maintain a relatively full look. However, this is only an illusion... especially in the frontal area.

    I am not sure if I should get a transplant now or wait until I lose more hair. I want some advice on my most appropriate treatment protocol. Any constructive input would be much appreciated. If a posted photo is NOT dated then assume it is recent as most photos here are.

    Thank you.

Working...
