Rogaine or HT?

[hairless]

The current of my hair condition is in attached picture.

 

Do you think Rogaine will be enough to:

 

1. Maintain my existing hair volume? or

2. the above plus some growth? or

3. Just slower hair lost? or

4. Useless

 

Or should i get HT?

 

Cheers!

HT seems inevitable IMO. You may gain some hair but I doubt it would be enough. Plus, you will have spray that for the rest of your life, whereas the HT, while it maybe thin, it's there to stay.

hairless-

 

Rogaine (Minoxidil) may be able to help halt further loss or maybe assist you in some regrowth but there are no guarantees. I'm siding with John_in_NC.............the only way your likely to recover is with a HT.

 

Have you considered Propecia (Finasteride)? I sporadically tried Rogaine years ago but it was too messy for me. Remember, with either, it's a lifelong commitment as anything you keep because of them will fall out if you stop.

 

I would encourage you to try some method of loss prevention for a year or so and see what happens. My pick would be Propecia but that's up to you .

hairless,

 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

 

If you want to regrow hair, especially in the frontal area, your best best will be an HT due to the level of loss. Keep in mind, however, that an HT is not a cure for hairloss...it simply moves hair from the sides and back to the top. So you should really consider finasteride to help stop further loss.

1. Yes maybe but doubtful long term.

2. No

3. Yes, more likely than 1

4. No but no miracles.

 

Agree with other gentlemen that an HT looks like it is in your future if you want hair in that region.
