I was wondering if any of the medical professionals out there can give me their opinion on what age that the hair loss may stop. What I mean is that I've heard that in some cases that a person can have hair loss and then for whatever reason the dht does not effect the remaing hair on the crown or top of the head. I'm a 3v and am 43 years old. My father has thinning and receding but still has a good amount of hair is this something I can also use to gauge what my hair will be like when I get to be his age? Any imput would be greatly appreciated.

Mike,

It's virtually impossible to say. There is no designated age that hair loss will stop. In fact, it will continue up to the point that your genes have preordained. Hormones of course, play a role which is why Propecia can often slow down or prevent future loss.

Not everyone will end up completely bald, and there is no real way to predict how far it will progress.

Family history of hair loss can be used as a guide, but is never a guarantee as to how far you will progress.

I'm sure this is not the answer you wanted to hear.

Best wishes,

Bill
