Hello guys
I am a 21 years old student in toronto. I started losing hairs when I was around 18-19.
Now, my hairline is almost gone and its in stage 2 of balding pattern.
I ve lost all my confidence and I am in great complex about my hairs. I changed my hairstyle and started wearing it long with hat most of the times. I finally decided to take a HT. What are some cheap HT clinics in toronto? Since I am a student, I cannot afford an expensive one.
Can it be done from 1500-3000 range?
Thanks for your time.

Canada has a few very highly regarded HT doctors that are competitively priced but a HT at $1500-$3000 would probably be a very small amount of transplanted grafts. I would guess that would be around 200-1000 grafts. With that said a HT at your age is a huge step. Can you post some pictures? Have you considered a tight clipper cut instead? Do you know if you are considering strip or fue? How long have you been researching? I'm sorry you had to face this at such a young age. I wish you the best of luck.

Have you tried medical treatment (Propecia/ Minoxidil)? They can work quite well in conjunction.

I totally agree that if you aren't on the medications you should try those first. It might not be what you want to hear right now but it is unlikely a doctor will want to treat you for a small session if you are not on meds. This is because they could do something in the hairline but the hair behind it may continue to retreat.

(I assume you meant $1500-$3000 not 1500-3000 grafts which might come in around $6000-15000 for a strip or double that for fue.) There is another topic on how you might be able to get a better deal if you are prepared to go on a standby list. I'm not sure if that could be an option for you perhaps during your vacations?

price $$$

I'm not an expert but for what I heard and research you are way too young for HT.
Maybe at this point try some other options meds like propecia and rogaine.
Or perhaps even shaving your head, today specially if you are young it's a look consider cool and hip and try not to stress out too much according to my hair dresser that contributes to the hair loss. Good luck and do research please.

Thanks for replies guys.
I have been searching for around a year or more.
I am not sure about strip or fue. I will post the pics asap. Btw can I get the same result with the hairpieces? I mean, do they look natural?
Since I have lost only my hair line and it looks like U shape. Would it help?
Thanks again for your time.

Deviansaliva,
Don't panic just yet. I too started to recede in my early 20s (as did my maternal grandfather whose pattern I seem to be following). He died in his 40s long before I was born, and from the photos I have seen of him, he had the same hairline from his late 20s up until his death. Sometimes recession starts and then goes no further (don't ask me why). I am now 26, but my pattern hasn't really changed much since I began to lose it in my early 20s and was feeling the same way you are. I am however getting my hairline reconstructed, as I don't like it, but I still have a very decent head of hair. My advice would be to wait about five years and see how things are then. In the meantime, get on to finasteride (propecia/proscar) to help prevent further loss.

Good advice there mate, but don't consider hairpieces.

Take it from me.. i was in your shoes 20 years ago. DO NOT. i repeat DO NOT get a ht if you are looking to go econo.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but consider this:
you feel isolated due to premature hair loss.. you wear a hat a lot... BUT at least if you get in a situation where you need to attend a function sans hat... the worst? your a young bald guy. sucks.. but not the end of the world.

You spend 3k on a cheapo transplant and you will be married to that hat. if you need to attend a function/ situation, etc where you cannot wear your hat.. you will be a plug freak. a laughing stock. your 2 choices will be humiliation, or just not going out at all. I know that's harsh, but son, thats the way it is. i lived it for 5 years.
If you don't have the $$ now to do it right, do NOT DO IT AT ALL.
as i have stated many times looking back at my own past. being bald in my early 20's sucked... but being "that guy with the plugs"... well that was almost put me 6 feet under!
shave your head clean, get some cool yellow tinted specs, work out and wear tight t shirts. You will be the "cool dude". chicks will dig it. you will have an aura about you.

get a wig? have a $3k row of dots across your forhead? PLEASE, don't even go there. once that 15 blade sinks into your scalp.. there is no going back. period.

think this one over long and hard my friend. there is NO FREE LUNCH!
