Rahal Hair Transplant Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) larswvon, Welcome to the forum. Firstly, when you say that you have tiny hairs on the sides of your scalp, are you referring to one particular location or have you been evaluated by a physician and you have miniaturized hairs all throughout the sides and back of your scalp? Have you been diagnosed with diffuse alopecia or DUPA? Unless there is miniaturization throughout the donor area, you may still be a candidate for a hair transplant. That said, you can always try getting on finasteride which could help reverse the miniaturization over the course of a year. Minoxidil might also help but if you have thinning throughout the entire scalp it would require a you to apply it everywhere there is miniaturization. Some additional information would help us in addressing your questions and concerns.

As mentioned above. Are you taking any medication like Finasteride? If not, that would certainly help to slow or halt the progression of further hairloss. Minoxidil could act to thicken the existing hair and consider Microneedling the frontal and thinning areas. Give all that MINIMUM of 12 months use and be consistent. Then re-evaluate and learn all about hair transplants and what you need to do. Nothing is as good as natural hair if you can keep as much of it as possible. Hair transplants are a last resort.

Senior Member ciaus Posted January 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2022 At 24 years old you want to be hanging on to every hair for as long as possible, not hoping they'll fall out to make room for transplanted hair. You're still very young in hair loss terms, if you lose too much more and don't start on medication, or don't respond well to medication, you could find yourself in a position where no ethical doctor will accept you as a patient. And by medication I primarily mean finasteride, since it attacks the underlying cause of the hair loss. Minoxidil by itself is not a long term solution to keeping your hair.
