I would wait and see what happens but it looks like you have stabilized it for now. I would wait as long as possible to have a HT to see how it progresses. Replicel is suppose to be out by the end of the year so that could benefit you if you can wait and travel to Japan.

Thank you for your reply!
From looking at the hair, and how it’s shed in response to Minoxidil, I have some clues as to the next 2-3 years. I feel it will likely continue to thin from the right side of the crown. It will also begin to thin across the right half of the widows peak. With some light diffuse thinning on the right side throughout. The left side will follow the same pattern but at a 2-3x slower rate.
Of course I have not seen the true benefits of triple therapy (or indeed if any benefits at all).
I am also 27 so until I’m 30-32 I cannot really begin to fully understand what I’m dealing with. This 2-3 years will be vital to watch and wait.
Living with a NW4 at my age for as long as I have does of course have an impact.

Making a bad decision now on a HT can ruin your life and financially cripple you. I would wait as long as possible to see if any progression.

Thanks again for the reply.
Financially I should be able to cope. It’s obviously not an ideal way of spending £7500 every 3 years at my age but I could manage it. So I am trying to take money out of the equation and just look at it on merit.

Everyone is saying replicel will be available by the end of the year so that looks like it would benefit you.

Wanted to post some updates on my treatment.
I’ve been using Minoxidil for 4 months and here are my before (blue jumper) and after (yellow) pictures.
Twice a day foam application with ~85% compliance.

Having a small, highly conservative hair transplant this week. Will post with results.
Have also switched finasteride to dutasteride due to breakthrough symptoms this year of scalp itching/burning.
Have also loaded myself on vitamin D due to being severely deficient when I had a blood test.
Will post results next summer when everything comes together.
