Regular Member HopefullyNotBald Posted September 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2023 Hello Everyone. I am a 21M with around a NW2.5 hair loss. I have recently started Finasteride and Oral Minoxidil to try and stabilize my hair loss and maybe grow some hair back. What would be a good age for a Hair Transplant if that is needed? Any suggestions on what I should do. I am committed 100 percent to preserving my hair. I don’t want to be a NW6-7 if I can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Turkhair Posted September 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 16, 2023 I would say ride it out for a few years see where it leads. But if you’re going to take medication then why not? Get a HT now and enjoy your youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 16, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 16, 2023 Stay on the meds religiously. Around 25 is a good time to look at your pattern as it will be more established by then. It would be a mistake having surgery earlier than this. All the best. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted September 17, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2023 At your age its best to keep taking medication and avoid thinking about surgery for as long as possible. Try different things from Finasteride or Dutasteride until you feel like you exausted all your options. Surgery is always a last resort, always. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
