You've just started your journey to find a solution for you, so my best advice is to be patient, do lots of research, ask lots of questions, and remain realistically optimistic. Results/treatment vary from person to person depending on a wide variety of factors - something you'll start to learn about as you begin researching. Once you post a picture here, we'll have a better idea of what you're working with - but the best advice you're going to get will be from a trusted hair transplant surgeon/specialist who will know the full ins and outs of your hair loss situation.
In general, taking Propecia is a good starting point. I would also encourage you to look outside of your local vicinity when looking for a surgeon. If you do end up being a good candidate for a hair transplant and decide to get one, you want to make the decision that's best for you by choosing a top, trusted surgeon - regardless of location.
Ultimately, don't be discouraged. No matter what happens, your life isn't over. I know how devastating it can be to deal with hair loss and not have a clue of what, if anything, can be done about it - but being discouraged isn't going to make your life any easier. So keep your head up.
Post a picture when you have time and hopefully people here can start pointing you in the right direction.
I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My opinions/comments are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.
Thank you, this is a screengrab of the video:
I have far less hair now, I still have hair over all the area but if I pose for a snapshot with friends it barely registers, I horrify myself if I see a reflection somewhere else or on security videos because I appear completely bald. It is horrifying, I seriously want to die, I can't imagine looking like this forever. I'm not a vain person and I certainly was no looker before but this is a nightmare, it truly is.
I started using rogaine, I don't think it will help. I really don't want to dabble into the pills, I think it's too much of a risk with the side effects. I have researched the transplants but almost none of them online are cases of people with zero hair and the very few I have found are terrible.
I also keep reading about third and four sessions, I don't think I have the money for that. Plus I would have to go abroad, I don't know if the doctors here are reliable in any way. Do you know what kind of treatment it is regarding the link I provided?? The spokespeople have regained all their hair but I have no idea what's the catch. I feel so destroyed.
