Hello everyone, Just want to say that I really appreciate all of your suggestions. Thank you! I was on the verge of booking a HT appointment, but have decided to start medication (Finasteride) first and then evaluate maybe 12/24 months later. Just have another couple of questions: 1) What dosing regiment should I follow for Finasteride? 2) Should I also get regular hair PRP treatments? Is it all hype or is it something that will supplement the medication?

Wish I had started Finisteraide earlier. But planning to start medication now. If Finisteraide can stop further hair loss, then that's great and I can evaluate HT in the future if I want to regain the hair already lost. Thank you for your suggestion

Hey, thank you for your input. Appreciate it! I'm not leaning towards any particular option anymore - it's now a toss up. But would love to hear some other opinions too.

Hi guys, Need your suggestions. I am considering a HT and have been in touch with a few of the forum's recommended Surgeons. I have been told that my condition isn't really bad at this stage and I'll need about 2000-2500 grafts for my hairline, temple and crown areas. I have been on Minoxidil for the past 6 months (I know that's barely any time) and have never used Fenisteride. I also know that I have to continue Minoxidil and start Fenisteride whether I get a HT now or in the future (I am 31). My question is, should I get a HT right now or wait a couple of years more and start medication meanwhile? I am leaning towards getting the HT now and starting medication right after. This way I think (please correct me if I'm wrong), I can fix my current problem areas and prevent future loss of my native hairs through medication. Is this the right approach or is there any other con of getting a Hair Transplant right now when my condition isn't very serious (I would rather have it handled now than get to that stage). The few doctors I have talked to (their offices) have also suggested that I can go for HT now and then start medications. Thank you in advance, everyone!
