Van_Hayden Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi! I'm new around here, my name's Charlie Hayden, I'm 18 years old and I live in a small town in Colorado. I've been losing my hair for about 2 years now, and I was wondering what sort of information you can give me about stopping/regrowing my hairloss. I ask because I've yet to read about any people my age and their results. Attached is a rather embarrassing picture of my receding hair line. What do you think? Is permanent restoration possible? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted October 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2007 VH, 18 is considered too young for a hair transplant by virtually all surgeons. Although, you could find an unethical one who will gladly take your money. But, most doctors want to wait until your around 25 so the balding pattern is more established and you should wait. You could try propecia. I havent tried it, but many guys report that their hair loss has stopped as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_Hayden Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 haha Actually, I should have been more specific. An HT is a liiiittle bit out of the question. I meant to ask about treatment in general. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Van, Welcome to our community! You have come to the right place for research, education, and encouragement. Propecia and/or Rogaine are your two best bets to fight against future hair loss and they might even regrow some hair. Being that your hairline has receeded, the chances of regrowing hair in the bald areas of your hairline are slim, but still possible. Research these medications to learn the possible benefits, risks, and limitations that they can provide. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2007 Van We know how you feel. I started losing it at 23 or so .. Meds are the only way to stop your hairloss as Bill mentioned. Talk to your doc about options.. I am not saying to take the meds but you are an adult and it is an options ( the only one which works other than HT's) You are way too young for a HT JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
