Take it from a 60-year-old guy who still has a lot of hair. I was fortunate: I didn't start thinning until my late 30's and it was a slow process. I hopped on the minoxidil and did the liquid application 2X per day. It helped but the recession made me uncomfortable and I didn't like the look. I went to a well-known doctor in my area and we did a hair transplant 10 years ago. It really helped, but, I also got on finasteride and about 2 years ago switched to oral minoxidil/finasteride in pill form. Hair transplants work but you have to be vigilant and use the medication as Dr. Lintov suggests. I get a 90-day supply and take it once a day. Easy. Dermaroll 1X every other week. Stay on it. I'm a testament to consistency and hair diligence. Oh, and my three brothers are all bald. They waited too long. So far, I haven't noticed any side effects from the medication.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS start on medical therapy first. If you really want your hair back get diagnosed from doctor(and you know you're a man with male pattern hairloss), you must understand that the thing that is damaging your hair follicles in the first place is DHT or other androgen hormones. I got INSANELY good result just from finasteride alone. I don't even need to take minoxidil or get a hair transplant because I did my research and got on finasteride first. Like him, I also thought it's because of water, then I thought maybe because I have excessive oil, then I was like maybe it's because I need natural treatment like castor oil, but it isn't. I saw all those misinformations online and it made me go insane, I didn't know what to do. If you're a men and you're losing hair. It is extremly likely that it's male pattern hairloss. Don't try to gaslight yourself, it's extremly safe to assume that it's male pattern hairloss. Go see your doctor and get prescription for male pattern hairloss. Don't gaslight yourself that it's because of this or that. The sooner you start treatment, the better it is, you might even not need any hair transplant or minoxidile for the rest of your life as long as you keep taking finasteride.

@@KR-dp6cb mb I didn't saw notification. There's many factors to take into consideration like wether you're a hyper responder or not or how long has your hair follicle stop producing hair in that area. Best way to know is to start medication on finasteride, then get 1 hair transplant if you need. That's what I would do if I were you, or you can add minoxidile if you're still not satisfied with finasteride and hair transplant. There's many good reasons why finasteride shpuld be first step if your case is male pattern baldness: 1. If you use minoxidile or do a hair transplant without using finasteride or other 5AR blocker, you'll still lose all your hairs because nothing will prevent androgen from damaging your hair follicles. 2. You might not need minoxidile or hair transplant if you're a hyper responder on finasteride like me. If you want I can literally get in a call on discord and show you on video call, I also got before pictures(just leave a comment while tagging me) 3. The moment you take finasteride, all the damage stops (+recovery), that's why it's first step unlike minoxidile that only stimulate growth(it doesn't stop and you'll lose all gains after few months). So it allows you to pause hairloss and even get some recovery which allows you to make other decisions like taking minoxidile or hair transplant or use an upcoming treatment for hairloss that are still in development(you can wait) without racing against time 4. Finasteride can work for life time as long as you keep using it (if not strong enough after 2-3 years, just get dose adjustment or upgrade to dutasteride) There's a lot of fearmongers online because some are malding (in the litteral sense) since they might be ong the 2-3% who don't receive benefit from finasteride or the ones who start fin too late or some that didn't take fin on daily basis(lack commitment, like cmon, it's just 1 pill you have to swallow, it's even easier than brushing your teeth, just put an alarm to remind you, I take it at 7pm to max 9h30, within that time. If you're 4h late, it's better to wait for tomorrow)

I'm 32 and due to recent stress my hair loss has accelerated significantly in the last 1 year. About 3 months ago, I hadn't tried any therapy (supplements, micro needling, or medications) and I was ready to jump right into a hair transplant thinking it to be a 'permanent fix' to the problem with the least amount of ongoing care and exposure to side effects. Your videos breaking down the realities of hair transplant truly saved me from making a mistake by jumping straight to a hair transplant at a time when my hair loss is still happening. Since then, I have reevaluated my diet and I've started taking topical minoxidil & finasteride and supplements. I may add micro needling (even if ineffective by itself, hopefully it will help with absorption of the topical minoxidil & finasteride). I hope to stabilize my hair loss & see the results of these interventions in ~6 months and then will hopefully consider my hair transplant options. Thank you so much for the honesty in your videos, it's amazing to see people like you in the world putting out trustworthy content like this

Stress is the #1 cause of most hair losses. Happy life, happy head of hair. Stress causes the top of your head to tighten up over years, resulting in poor blood circulation. This is why seldom people lose their hair on the sides and back of the head because these areas do not get tight as on the top crown and have much better blood circulation.

I’m at a difficult crossroads because I want to start finasteride but I am terrified of having gynecomastia recurrence ( I had surgery at about 26 - the extreme stress from my recovery ironically triggered the beginning of my loss and a few subsequent periods of extreme stress continued it). My surgeon told me that it’s unlikely but not 100% risk free that it would come back if I take finasteride. I’m also terrified of minoxidil because I read some people go through the extreme shed and never have any regrowth so they just end up worse off. I’m scared :( and don’t know what to do

I used oral Finasteride and topical variant after. Any alternatives without hormonal or the only fix for me is doing several hair transplants in future? For now, I have Norwood 3 and am 29 years old.

There's no alternative to blocking most of your DHT. People who get hair transplants are also usually on finasteride/dutasteride so they don't lose the hair around the transplant.

Hello Dr. Lykov I have a quick question as a 24 year old (soon to be 25), and with first signs of thinning and balding mainly in the temples. I would say I’m about a Norwood 2 perhaps, but am considering starting medical therapy now rather than waiting until my 30s. Is finasteride 1 mg, and minoxidil 5 mg in their oral forms sound like a reasonable start? I would order from feel confident but unfortunately moved to Hong Kong just last week and won’t be in the states anytime soon unfortunately. Thank you!

I’m 26 and in the same situation, I started using only finasteride about six months ago. No side effects and it’s stopped my hair loss. My hair also feels thicker overall but that could be just from taking better care of it in general

Dr.Gary, you are the best! I would like to ask a question. How long after the transplant can I start taking finasteride? At the clinic where I had my transplant they say to wait a month to do oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. I even agree with minoxidil, but finasteride I don't understand. I also asked if I could start taking Ecophane powder (multi vitamin for hair) and they say to take it at the end of the first month as well. Can someone explain to me why? I would like to start taking it now.

My hair was SO thick. REALLY thick actually. I started getting seriously stressed at work lately and have noticed I've lost LOADS of hair lately. Now, the top of my hair is thinning but the sides and back are still really thick. It's not so noticeable to people looking as it's still kind of long but I can definitely feel that it's not as full on top as it used to be.

What age does hair become stable. I am 32 and have been taking PRP, Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Nizoral Shampoo, Revita Shampoo with a hair thickening shampoo consisting of rose mary oil, saw palmetto, biotin, pumpkin seed oil. I use Rose mary oil for 3-5 hours once or twice per week. I have got a mature hairline and was told I am in stage 1 of a MPB and if I wasnt taking these natural holistic medical therapy it wouldnt have been stable by now. I lose 10-20 hair when washing and rarely 30-50 hours lost when I am massaging rose mary oil on my scalp. Please advise what shall I do as I was rejected as a candidate for hair transplant and was told I have very mild hair thinning on the crown area of which PRP is being used on these areas.

At 6:00, why do surgeons often create a more dense area on the first inch, inch and a half after the hairline? Wouldn't it look more natural to try to maintain the same density as the rest of fully available hair area, the donor area for instance?
