Senior Member paddyirishman Posted January 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2020 In my opinion you still have a lot of hair and a HT at this point in time would not be a good idea. You should take something that your body can tolerate to help retain what you have which is what your priority is at this moment in time.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted January 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2020 Unfortunately these are not very good pictures. But let's work with what we have. 35? OK. You seem very well receded. Could you work on temporal areas? Sure. Dangerous? No. Why would it be? It would be nice if you could provide photos of your entire head including the top and back. Understanding your pattern classification is important as it will guide the doctor as to how to proceed. Not only do we want to be age appropriate, we want to be pattern appropriate. You seem to be losing hair throughout your entire front. The contrast between the color of the hair and the skin does not help either. Post better photos to confirm. If it bothers you and you have the financial means to do so, get to it. But do keep in mind, if you've shown the propensity to lose, you will continue losing. So, you work the corners and continue receding. Now you're left with two horns worth of hair. I would encourage you to speak with a doctor about medical therapy. (Propecia, Rogaine, Laser and PRP). We typically discussed these when dealing with this condition. They all work in different ways and are thus synergistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2020 You still have a lot of hair. Your hair will never look as good as it does with Toppik, with hair transplants alone. Are you okay with this? If not, my advice would be to not go for a hair transplant. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted January 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2020 Your destiny looks to be a class 6 if you do nothing about it. I am guessing you have family history of hair loss and he/they have very advanced patterns. That being said, I would be one to add laser and PRP to the mix. This combination of modalities can help reverse the miniaturization of the native hair you seem to be experiencing. Continue Rogaine and give this 6-12 months. Second thing I suggest you do is start looking at people and the way they lose hair. Particularly those similar to a class 6. Eventually, whatever you decide, you do want to look pattern appropriate. Lastly, you do need hair for Toppik to work best. The fibers need something to adhere to. For now, give medical therapy a chance and wait. But decide soon. Hair that's lost is hair that's not returning. Oh, why not SMP? It will help lessen the contrast, you'll look fuller and may not need to use Toppik at all. Do some research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u think that i should wait my hair will fall? You should wait before deciding on a HT. You still have a lot of hair. The issue is you have started to lose hair now, and you will continue to lose further, so you fill in the areas with a HT that you lost now what happens when you lose more hair ? You end up chasing and chasing your hair. If you have a lot of hair now, you have a lot of hair to lose. So the best plan is to try and hold onto what you have, when its gone you can never get it back. When you recede and lose a lot more thats the time to have your pattern assessed by a qualified surgeon and get as many opinions as possible. Then your doner can be assessed and it's potential for coverage to what you lost and what you will continue to lose. All of that is for the future , not now. When their is a time to look further into a HT , research, research, research. All the best. Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted January 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2020 Seeing as you don't want to take propecia and things don't bother you too much I probably wouldn't bother at this stage. Wait until you have lost more hair at the front as it is this area that should be taken as priority. You can also just put some money away for it in the future and go to a really good surgeon. 1 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
