The painful truth! How can I get help?
Hi I am a 48 year old man who has always had great hair!
Well I guess I have a bald spot! I have been in denial... but I took the photo this morning. It hurts. But I know men who are very bald.
Is there anything I can do to reverse this?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
SomeGuy - Reference: Finasteride
Hello SomeGuy,
In reviewing your photo ... I would DEFINITELY recommend that you start on Finasteride!! FYI - Finasteride is the active ingredient in Propecia. I believe that Propecia is very expensive, so I offer my patients the generic Finasteride which is also combined with Selenium & Biotin!
Regardless, you should start on the Finasteride sooner ... then later!
Finasteride is approximately 89.9% effective .... It does NOT re-grow hair, but it can reverse the 'vellus' hair back to a good thicker 'terminal' hair.
If you need more information, please feel free to call me directly.
