laxguy556 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 First time poster, long time follower of the forum. I began noticing my hair loss when I was 22 and I began topical minoxidil in March of 2020, with oral finasteride beginning in January of 2021. In January of 2023 I switched to oral minoxidil due to a change in my life and habits, and I also began other hair related vitamins. I am mainly posting in the forum asking what they thought about a possibility of a HT in the future. I have noticed that the part the right side of my hair is suffering from more loss (pictured in the photos) Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member slartibartfast Posted June 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 You have pretty advanced recession for a young age and it seems like you have some diffuse thinning as well. I might think about adding oral minoxidil, upgrading to dutasteride and reassessing after a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SeanT1 Posted June 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) You seem to be in the same boat I was in (maybe even better?). How long have you been on finasteride? It's also important to note that transplanted hair is grows slightly darker compared to non-transplanted.

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted June 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2023 Well you've been on it long enough to look at transplants, a lot of younger people want transplants prior to any long term finasteride use. I recommend going to local clinics to get a review of your donor area, then travel abroad for the actual procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
