Do I need HT

[mnvbrtn]

I'm 25 yr old. On rogiane from 2 months. Do I need to go for HT.

Or should I try Fin first. What do you think from pictures.

Attachments after hair bath when it is wet, dry and after toppik.

 

Please give me suggestions

Man Ill be honest, too me your pictures look like they came from 3 different people...I don't know what to say...in one picture you look very bald, in the next, you look like you have a full head of hair..and then in another, only slightly balding...maybe someone else can shed some light!1

Try fin for a year if you can stand the side effects. Use it in synergy with rogaine. Then re-evaluate.

Haha

Thats the reason i said

The first set is when it is wet

Second set is when it is dry

Third set after applying toppik

It appears that you're at the early stages of thinning on top of your head as well as the crown, but not severely. Using propecia and rogaine for one year is the best course of action, as you're not a surgical candidate for those areas and you may see a nice change with it, or at least stabilize in those areas. If you really wanted to you could have a small procedure to the hairline and corners, but that's your personal preference, otherwise I think you're in pretty good shape. When hair is wet it will always appear worse so don't take that too much into account, but starting meds would certainly be a good idea at this point.

Hi,

 

Your pictures do present a challenge as they do look as if they could be from different people. So my response is based on the assertion that they are you and only one person. Clearly the photos indicate a good degree of recession in the temporal areas in some angles. This amount of progression at 25 years of age is pronounced and most likely will be markedly more pronounced at age 35 without a well defined hair restoration plan.

 

The question then remains is medication protocol sufficient. This cannot be determined by observation from photos. One of the things that most concerns me is that the use of Rogaine and Propecia over the counter or without a bona fide protocol from a specialist in hair restoration watching your progress. People react differently to medication and the risk/reward or side effects/benefits are best determined by you with the oversight of a medical doctor. Preferably a hair restoration specialist.

 

In general observation from your pictures you may benefit from both methods being used in conjunction with one another. I certainly recommend that people address their hair loss sooner rather than later. I have noticed in our US Hair Restoration Centers throughout California young men in your peer group with similar profile do well with an HT and some limited use of medication. Get a consult from a reputable hair restoration doctor, such as our medical director Dr. Mohebi. We even provide initial virtual consults for people not near one of our offices; feel free to contact us.

 

All the Best, Michael James
