[kiosho]

hey ,

i am new at this forum but i have been reading here alot as a guest ( great place)

 

i am 24 years old and for the past 3 years i can see how my hair gets thiner

and the faster the hair lost is getting.

 

i took propecia for over a year but decided to stop it , i really dont know what to do and what shoud be the next phase transplant\drugs\special treatment etc

 

your opinion is very important and it will be a great help.

i took a few photos today

 

 

thanks alot !!

Did you stop propecia because you had side effects? Other than propecia you could give rogaine a try.

 

I think many on this forum would say that at 24 you're still relatively young for a ht as of this time.

[kiosho]

no side effects just didnt like the thinking that i will have

to take a pill every day for so long.

 

the big question is shoud i try different kind of therapy to stop the hair loss for the

moment or to understand that ht woud be necessary any way now or in the future?

thanks

You should get back on propecia. For being only 24, you seem to be very advanced. If you refuse to take propecia, shaving your head may be the best option.

hey

after a long search is this considered to be a good combo treatment?

 

1: going back to propecia

2:start using rogaine foam morning\evening

3:shower with revivogen shampoo

(its additional to a normal shampoo or this supposed to be the only and main shampoo?)

 

thanks

[Icecreamman]

That's about the best medical therapy your gonna get. Otherwise spanker is right about shaving your head

Yes, this is good. If you're not willing to commit to doing this everyday then you'll never see the results. You need to give it a good solid year to see if it stabilizes your hair loss. You also may want to get a shorter haircut as that can make thinning hair look better.

 

You can experiment with concealers like Toppik and Nanogen as well. You still have enough hair where those could be very beneficial to you right now.

 

Good luck.

I agree with Spanker.

Hey man, I'm going to echo what others have said, get back on propecia. Taking a pill everyday is not bad. And it is better than going bald!!!!!!!!!!!! Right?

While that amount of hair loss is bad for someone 24, you are also at a great age for Propecia. PLEASE get back on that medication and stay on it, along with Minoxidil. Hold on to everything you can while you can. The younger you are, the better chance the medication will work. I also recommend Biotin and a multivitamin, and Nizoral shampoo once or twice a week (if you can find it these days).

I did not do well with Propecia, caused sexual dysfunction so I stopped and started with Minox, fingers crossed
