9718,

 

Have you seen a hair loss specialist? Diagnosing the type of hair loss you're suffering from is an important first step. Though it is likely androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss), it could be due to another cause and require a different course of treatment.

 

The only two drugs approved for the preventive treatment of hair loss are finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). These medications are particularly effective when started at the early onset of hair loss.

 

Please feel free to ask any additional questions.

There are two types of treatments called PRP & (promotional link removed by moderator).

PRP is non surgical and HT is a surgical treatment, you can consult the best surgeon in your city to get treated according to your situation

Hairlos9718,

 

You seem to have a pattern of a future NW5...which means you may have hair loss from front to crown. I would consult with a hair loss specialist, especially considering how young you are. I WOULD NOT recommend PRP...its ratio of success is still very low, not to mention its cost and no guarantees. I would get started on medical therapy such as minoxidil and Finasteride and consider a hair transplant in a few years, if medical therapy slows down the hair loss pattern. Considering your pattern of hair loss in such a young age, do not pull the trigger on Hair Transplant just yet.

 

Best of luck!

Hey man, you should start taking finpecia. The medication will slow or stop your hairloss, but it will not grow it back. Feel free to ask us more questions.

I have seen a hair specialist recently and he has prescribed monoxidil 5% ,vighan forte tablets and dicasis 150mg...vighan forte contains biotin bp 10mg. Elemental zinc 25mg,methionine usp 40mg, cysteine hydrochloride 100mg...and he asked me if my dad was bald...and I said yes ...no I haven't used propecia ...please tell me will it work And how long will it take?

Any medical therapy you try will take at least 6 months to start seeing its effectiveness. Patients use it for life or as long as they care to maintain hair. If you stop, your body goes back to its normal genetic state. You have a strong pattern of hair loss...take your time and play your cards right.
