Hi all, I started losing my hair around the age of 16. Both my maternal and paternal sides lost hair at a young age. I started my hair loss journey at the age of 19 and began using topical minoxidil and finasteride daily. My hair improved drastically, and all miniaturisation was gone. But by 23, I found my hair had become unstable again, and the quality of my had become variable. I put this down to poor diet and stress, and this was when I implemented positive lifestyle changes; changing my diet, lowering my stress and creating an exercise regime. Another point I must stress is kee -
Dear all, Its always a hot topic, Finasteride use and whether pre and post op hair transplant patients should take it. In the following video Dr Bhatti uses his expertise to explain away the phobias associated with Finasteride use and explains in detail the relationship with Testosterone levels. Again, a must see for so many of you out there. -
Good evening friends, I am 24 years old and have been suffering from hair loss since I was 21. I wanted to do an HT with Dr Kaan Pekiner. We did a Facetime, which I thought was really great. He said that if he did an op with me now, he would have a good result, but recommended that I start with Finasteride 0.5 mg first and generally strengthen the hair on the back of the head everywhere and then do the HT. I will start with Finasteride 0.5 + Regaine from now on. (Have used Regain for 5-6 months) Loved his honesty. My question to you ... has anyone had good experiences with finaster

Hi Guys. So after fretting about my hair loss for years, this weekend I started booking online consultations for a HT. I was really excited to rebuild my hairline and take charge of the narrative. So imagine my shock when a respected hair restoration clinic sent an email back based on my photos saying I was not a good candidate for a hair restoration procedure because my final pattern of loss is aggressive and my donor reserves are limited – thanks in part to a retrograde loss pattern. I had not noticed any thinning from the bottom up. (And I've never heard of retrograde alopecia until n -
Hey everyone! I'm a new poster on here, having followed this forum for quite some time! Before I start, I just want to give my thanks to Melvin and all the regular posters who continuously work to make this into a valuable and informative network for all of us! It has certainly been of great help to me. So I recently contacted a doctor recommended by the ISHRS about my hair situation. Having looked at my photos, they suggested I get on finasteride for a year before looking to operated. I was previously hesitant on starting it but its now getting to a point of now-or-never, and the doctor

I got my ( great English) from a compound pharmacy a few weeks ago. The dropper that was included is unmarked. So if anyone knows I was curious how many drops should be applied. I am in the midst of contacting my surgeon and the pharmacy is obviously difficult to get a hold off because of the crisis going on. I was also told to apply it only once a day. I do have the droplet from the minoxidil. But I was looking online and it was almost impossible to find any information except from Dr. Bauman who said to apply ten drops through three parts of your hair. so I was curious -
Hello all, My hair is thinning quite a lot on top I have been taking fin for 3 months now daily. My temples have no hair, I was looking up close and see all these small hairs. What are the chances of these hairs growing back normally? What was your experience like? I was thinking if getting FUE to fill in my temples, but seeing these hairs I am not sure what to do. If they do grow back, of course I would not go for a transplant (I really hope that is the case) Thank you for any input.

Hi everyone, I have a question for long-term finasteride users (1 year + on the drug). When did you start seeing results and how would you characterize your results (hair stayed the same? hair regrowth? if you experienced hair regrowth, in which areas?)? I'm curious as I've experienced rather rapid hair loss over the last 3 years, with most of my hair loss happening in long shedding periods. I was wondering if I can expect to see my hair return to the stage it was say a year ago, after a year of continuous finasteride + minoxidil usage? Thank you!

Hi All, I am looking for advice. I am turning 30 in a few months and over the last year have noticed my hair is feeling thinner. Over the last few month, it definitely seems that i am getting much faster recession on my temples and it looks like i have lost a few mm on my hairline as there are now hairs the same length growing in front of it. I am also losing smaller hairs of around 2/3cm. Probably losing between 100/150 hairs a day (that I notice) and have some slight itching and dandruff that I have never had before. Nothing on the crown although definitely feels thinner and looks it whe -
I have been on Minoxidil since 2012, when I first noticed hair loss. I initially started with 2% but switched to 5% since I heard it was more effective. At first I was fine, but I started noticing side effects such as a painful scalp, itchiness etc.. I did not think much of it and consulted a few dermatologists that claimed everything was okay. In 2015 I had my first hair transplant, which for some reason failed and I was told I may have scarring alopecia, due to the fact that there were a lot of pimples on my scalp. The biopsy came back inconclusive so I decided to proceed with a second hair

I've been taking Fin for about week now, with Oral Min and Derma Pen currently in transit from AllDayChemist. My plan is to start Fin for 90 days to determine if I get sides, and switch to Dut while taking 1 Mg of Oral Minox per day along with Derma Pen 1.5mm 1x per week and Nizarol Shampoo + Biotin for a year and connect my results with a HT. I'm a NW6 for sure, and am hoping that at the very least, I can thicken up my donor area + try to get some of the miniaturized hairs on my crown to go Terminal, but I'm not expecting a miracle by any means. I do believe if I'm able to regrow a bit and th

Hi, I am 30 years old. Have lost the frontal hairline and it is going back day by day. Pretty much like this but mine is worse The above thread prompted me to post my doubts here. So, I visited few of the surgeons from this list https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/surgeon-list/IND/India Darling Buds and Medispa and many other renowned surgeons who are not on the list but people have achieved great results from them. Everyone suggested me around 2500-3000 grafts. All of them were doing the transplant using FUE technique and gave one PRP session along w

I’m 44yrs old. Had an HT with Hasson 14yrs ago. Very successful. Had been on finasteride 1mg/day for 10yrs. Then over the next 4 yrs started to reduce the dose, going down to 1mg per week for the last year. I had decently thick hair and no noticeable loss of hair until 6mths ago when I noticed thinning. This progressed for the next few mths. About 4mths ago I started back to 1mg/day. So far no improvement. If I continue at this dose, will I likely get back the lost hair I had approx 8-12mths ago or is that now lost having effectively “stopped” the finasteride?

I am 23 and last year my mother noticed the hair near my crown thinning. I have been pretty paranoid since. I get a lot of conflicting opinions from people close to me, ranging from ‘everything is perfectly’ fine to ‘you will be bald within 2-3 years’. Thought I would get an opinion from more experienced people on here who have gone through similar journeys. I am currently taking daily: 10,000 mcg biotin pills, 500 mg Saw Palmetto pills, 350 mg beta-sitosterole and shampoo daily with either bitoin shampoo/alpecin (both which claim to block DHT, the latter using caffeine). And every 3-4 days I

Finasteride might just be the most misunderstood drug or the most manipulative seducer. Especially when it comes to the part of a physician prescribing it to the patients or not prescribing it, it becomes almost impossible to come out unscathed. One most definitely does not want to be blamed for being the cause of anybody's sexual disintegration. If the physician prescribes it, the patients are really not sure if they are walking down the right path. Especially when it comes to the sexual side effects, most patients are super sensitive about it. "Thou shalt not mess with my libido!

I began losing hair at crown alone at 18 years old which has progressed to diffuse over whole scalp, had used finasteride on and off between 18-20 but have been using everyday since 20 yrs old, seeing hair loss slow down but not stabilise. I recently underwent an fue hair transplant procedure totalling 3200 grafts (6897 hairs) by ak clinics in Delhi. My hair count prior to surgery was 90 units/cm2 , 187hairs/cm2, my hair loss is progressive but I was also advised I have good donor area/cm2 to harvest. I am curious as to how many grafts I could be able to harvest via scalp in a lif
