35 On Propecia-Considering A Hair Transplant | Dr. Jerry Cooley, Charlotte, NC
Question Submitted through iahrs.org
IAHRS Member, Jerry Cooley, M.D. of Charlotte, NC Responds:
I’m at the point where I think it’s time to do something about my hair loss. I just started taking Propecia, but I hear that it does not work in the hairline and this is where my biggest problem area is. Is it safe to assume that a combination of using Propecia and having a hair transplant is a good approach if you are over 35 and have been losing hair for a while? What is the minimum amount of hair that you have to lose before considering hair transplantation?
