Aged 53yrs old I have to admit that I would still love to get my hair back! As a youngster I had a very thick mop of brown curls but in my final (very stressfull) year at university aged 21 the thinning began apace. And within another couple of years I was properly bald. The way it rocked my confidence as a young man is something that has stuck with me to a degree, even as I have realised that one has to accept things and move on. So yes, I never underestimate the impact this can have.

[@jmunkki]

I think it's likely to happen just like Viagra did, but it could also be something that is done using gene therapy and stem cells. Transplanting cloned hair may also become an option. Like @Guus115 said, science may soon get a "magic boost" from AI research. There's certainly a lot of money to be made from the cure and there are also researchers who want the cure for themselves, so it's not like no one is trying...

They found a vaccine for the 2019 coro.. and they can't find a cure for hair loss? I have doubts.

[@idontwanna1234]

@@iDTecKtBut the follicles are alive. I don't think any cure will be a normal pill you could take, though. More likely it would require some kind of genetic alterations that can make your existing follicles resistant to DHT. Not sure if it would work on someone who already has a significant degree of hair loss. Maybe the solution for people with lots of hair loss will be mass cloning of the existing DHT-resistant hairs around the sides with a big transplant, as you mentioned.

I am 37, female, UK. I've had thinning hair on top for the last 10 / 11 years. I think due to medication I've been on, but also my genes are not great on the hair-side of things. 3 years ago I shaved my head and loved it. 1 week ago I shaved it again and love it ❤️ I think anyone can rock the shaved/bald head look. It is just confidence. I feel much better not seeing my thinning hair. This way you can't tell it's thinning and in poor condition. Power on to everyone 💪🏻🌟😎

I had a hair transplant at 66, and I live in Bangkok. At first when i went to the hair clinic the doctor said there was not enough hair to do a transplant . He gave me minoxidol spray & tablets plus Finasteride. After 8 months of doing this he asked me to come back. He said i now had thicker hair and he could do a transplant on my crown area and some of my front. My hair was thinning but not complete hair loss. My hair surgeon gave me realistic expectations.I'm very pleased with the result. I had 3500 grafts altogether. I'm also half way through a session of 6 PRP treatments .

What keeps me personally from having a procedure is that I know I'd have to be on constant medical therapy afterwards. I worry about the side effects - both the ones we already know, and the ones we might realize later. It doesn't feel right to do medical therapy for the rest of my life strictly for cosmetic reasons.

[@Johnslist]

It isn't right; fixing cancer and paralysis will be worth potential risks, but fooling nature for vanity and accepting unknown risks are not. Just the fact that I see a lot of shaved heads with line (or two or more) in the back, of pock marks all over (FUE?) tells me they don't always work, then they put you on drugs...suck it up, work on other thinks.

[@SoulMaxxing]

This is simply a soul blockage you can/need to clear, my friend. You have a whisper in your head which is the product of human-wrought collective beliefs .. and not your God-potential. - You are going to spend a minimum 1 hour per day having 2-3 meals rest of your life without hesitation (and we don't even need 3 meals per day.. that's another indoctrination by the food industry, btw).. yet you will not spend 10 seconds taking a finasteride/minox combo bill or even a 1 minute per week taking a TRT (testosterone) shot., if a guy older than 40. Obviously, I am not challenging your free-will. You can do whatever you choose. This message could go out to all aging men with thinning or receding hair and also gradual muscle loss and fat gain from slowly diminishing testosterone who listen to the limiting whisper in their head.. despite the fact your appearance is going to go through a dramatic (negative) transformation anyways over time if you do nothing.. so why not be proactive, utilize what the universe has made available to you.. and make it positive instead?? Now that said, if we get procedures to run from other emotional issues in our half-soul, that is a different issue - so it is true our physical appearance should not be our life focus.. but we are literally talking about the most minimal effort here. As a real teacher of the universe on Earth (which is not a sentence 99.99% of incarnates can even process).. I will tell you that your material-body is NOT a true reflection of your half-soul condition... only your spirit-body is, so it is understandable if you want to get your physical-body more aligned with your true spiritual development state.. if it is superior to the default material-body you were assigned to start your existence. NOTE: You can view your spirit-body in any astral mirror while in sleep state. It updates virtually in REAL-TIME from your half-soul condition while your physical body updates in 7 years.. so we all kill our Earth vessel before we get enough LOVE & TRUTH into our soul to stop expedited material-body degradation. We should live 1000 years on Earth. I am about to turn 56. I have a top 1% low hairline. thanks to recent HUE. ( please note I was a Norwood 2 so it wasn't a stretch doing this).. and top 1% male test level (1000-1100ng/dl) thanks to TRT. I never have accidents nor get sick EVER. I never take vaccines nor got Covid while working in a public interfacing position. Because I work out 7 days per week (4 cardio and 3 free weights) and eat very strict.. I am completely ripped.. with developing full hair when I am supposed to be "old".. which is a total joke. DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF, my friend.. is my point. All of you can be equal or greater than me once you stop listening to the Earth limiting whispers in your head. My own "lookmaxxing" project will be done by Jan 2025 at which point I will likely start teaching the actual absolute universe online through YT. I don't do recreational drugs nor drink alcohol.. and interact with spirits in waking and sleep state to advance myself in consciousness and aligned perception of love. While I never was into human imaginary creations, we do basically live in a matrix.. meaning most the things you feel inside as INTUITION or common_sense REASONING are really just limiting_products of false_beliefs ABSORBED as feelings during womb, early childhood, and continuing inculcation into whatever collective_thought_realm which dominates your focus. I am a real person whom you can talk to anytime for free. Peace and God Bless.

[@bluespiral4678]

I still plan on getting a procedure done in the future. I'm of the same mind, I refuse to adhere to lifelong medical therapy for the rest of my life that comes with side effects that no man wants. My all natural methods somewhat work, but the progress is wayyyy too slow. With that being said, I would just get a procedure and continue with my natural preventative hair loss regimen, i.e. dmso blend and scalp or blood flow stimulation via bamboo brush. If the hair loss resumes, so be it.

Nowadays, you can get really impressive coverage when you combine scalp + BEARD (or even chest) grafts. Of course, your beard hair needs to be a good MATCH. Also, it really depends on the donor - some patients have a great donor (and can also use the extended donor area). There are videos of doctors doing over 10 000 gratfs… Some patients have a very weak donor… then even 6-7000 grafts is a stretch 😅 HT is a case-specific procedure…

[@Denise-kl5xo]

That was probably the Best Presentation I have ever heard. Experience can make all the difference. I had no idea so many grafts were used and must be awesome not to have to really deal with any of that.

It must be such an emotional experience, but oh how comforting too when caring for someone else. Great Job !

No issues with sides and what mg and how often are you taking it?

[@xyphold]

@@hmdwn I started to have constant fatigue recently but I'm not sure if its my office job or the medication but I'm taking oral finasteride and minoxidil. 1.1mg and 3mg daily. I think my results are different from what most people will get since I had extreme hair loss. I didn't reced it just got super thin. I still have a perfect hairline It is still really thin but getting thicker. I'm not entirely sure it was androgenic. Minoxidil and diet might be the only thing doing anything. I was completely balded in less than a year after first noticing thin hair from 17-18.

[@reykennedy5716]

But also, you're young. All of your loss is recent. Every case of complete returns and the best recoveries is always from 20-25 year olds. You were very aggressive, but you still can halt and slow and reverse it. Be careful of minoxidil long term and stick with finasteride or dutasteride at least 24 months to get a full view of what it will do for you. Also, the hairs you're mentioning are called vellus hairs.

Dr Linkov, what do you think about harvesting beard grafts not just from the neck but also from the face? Literally extracting someone's beard follicles on the chin and the cheeks. I heard some doctors consider it to be a good additional source of grafts as the healing process on the face is very robust and leaves almost no FUE scars after extraction.

I think we also need to discuss the side effects of oral Finasteride. I was on this drug in my middle to late 20’s for hair loss and the side effects were significant (mostly sexual side effects). It took almost an entire year for the most major side effect to return to normal after ceasing this medication. Minoxidil, how ever, had very little side effects. As much as Finasteride is meant to work and help, I would never take it again and I think it’s important to let people know that it affects your hormone levels and can come with significantly undesirable side effects.

I was fortunate to get onto finasteride / oral minoxidil, PRP, hair vitamins, derma rolling, hair loss focussed shampoo from my late 30’s. It stopped my shedding and slowed my regressing hair line. This regime produced thick healthy donor hair. And the years of PRP and rolling produced fertile recipient area. I finally had the money and time at 53 to get an FUE done. Only 2000 grafts, but the surgeon suggested well over 5000+ hairs. So mostly the front and lobes with a little going back into the top and crown. It’s been 6 months and it is starting to look mint. Still some uneven growth so cropped on the shorter side. Not sure I’ll fill in the bald patch… I am in my 50’s after all.

There is something you can do. Start a collagen and keratin peptide treatment that includes growth factors. Skinlyte has a soap that is loaded not only with collagen but also keratin peptides. It is called Hair & Whole Body Bar. It is fast absorbed because it has an enhanced peptide binding enhancement technology which produces water molecules in a condensation reaction that hydrates skin and hair naturally. It repairs, grows hair, naturally moisturizes, rebuilds and strengthens hair and skin. I got it at Amazon and I am impressed with new benefits I discover every time I use it. I noticed many improvements in my hair, skin and nails. What I like best about it is that it's all natural and without harmful chemicals such as synthetic dyes, fragrance, SLS or preservatives.

I just have had my hair and beard transplant one week ago. After the transplant i issued a correction of assymetry and it will be done in half of month from now. I am concerned about a movie I recently watched "Beard Transplant Failures! 3 Tips to Avoid it!" All grafys were taken from the back and the side of the scalp. None were taken from neck or chest. After watching that youtube video I am concerned that the beard with double and triple hair follicles might cause bumpyness of skin and unnatural look. I do not know yet how it will look and whether it is true what was mentioned in that video. But if it would be true, then during the scheduled correction I would request to take the hair transplanted to the beard as grafts (at least the double and triple hair follicles) to be re-used in correction of the symmetry on the head part of the transplant. I have a question for you: How much truth is in that video? Can hair transplanted to the beard be reused again as a source? If yes, then should I hurry, or opposite: should I wait till hair falls out and regrows before it can be re-harvested? (that way I would avoid overdepletion of the donor area and avoid the problems mentioned in the quoted video, plus that would leave space to put in the beard the chest and neck-beard hair instead). A reaction video or a response to my comment would be greatly appreciated, as only 2 weeks remain now till the symmetry correction. Thank you for your videos.

Do finasteride have effect on female hair loss? I‘m suffering from male pattern hair loss for about half of my life. I tried oral spironolactone, Cyproterone acetate+ Cyproterone compound for a long time until I faced Uterine fibroids. Now my Endocrinologist prescribed finasteride 5 mg.

What is your opinion on Scalp hair laser removal Dr. Linkov? Is it safe?

[@williamnelson4774]

Dr. Linkov - Can you do a video going over essential oils and give your tips / opinions on the use of them for someone trying to avoid chemicals/meds? I really love all of your content and it has helped me so much so thank you!!!

[@Nitroat-xo4tj]

forget it.. most of it is useless.. often even harsh on your scalp. there are no "good" studies, showing effects.

[@pappa7t3]

Great video very honest and alot of helpful information

[@supernus8684]

Im just gonna ask this here. What happens if i use Minoxidil and Fenasteride and i have good results then i quit Minoxidil because it is a bother. Will Fenasteride kinda preserve the hair gained by Minoxidil or what will happen?

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

I did this. I lost hair, but Fin was enough. Then I stopped fin, and boy did my hair take a dive. I got on HIMS chewables bc it has fin and min. But it was pricey. Now I’m getting a HT and will likely go back to it tho bc two birds one stone. However prescription fin is about 3X cheaper

[@Silverpump]

@@rafeeqwarfield9690 but only fin will keep your hair right? I will try topical finasterid in low % concentration

[@alfster24]

Hi Dr Gary, I'm a big fan and dig your channel. If a person uses minoxidil for a number of years then stops will the persons hairloss catch up to a point where it would have been if they had not used minoxidil. Basically if they stop the medication will their hair fall out to a point where it should have been without this medication or will it return to the same point as it was when they initially began the treatment?

Great video as always ❤

Thanks! Please subscribe!

[@a.s.8104]

What about shaping the hairline from the neck by taking all of the hair for grafts from back of the upper neck instead of just taking hair evenly from the donor area? Often that area gets trimmed at the barber anyway. And can hair taken from somewhere else from the body transform to the kind of hair that grows in the head or does it stay coarse and short? Also is it ppssible to get hair grafts from some one else or does body reject them like organ transplants?

[@francislester6470]

It rejects it...

I really appreciate your teaching ✨

How about a video on hair transplant options for women?

[@JakobPuchmayr]

thank you so much for your videos! Do you know a connection between focal dystonia and hair loss? pretty much every man I know with dystonia has some kind of hair loss. would be interested, if there is a connection and how to treat it in that case. Kind Regards

[@OneOfUsHere]

Dr. Linkov, Is Lev Pranov someone who had a hair transplant years ago? The pattern of his hair looks so odd. Is that what happens as people age? I wonder if meds would have helped him.

[@nangld]

Bicalutamide + high dose estradiol can get you back from Norwood 6 to Norwood 1, while retaining the libido (bicalutamide alone wont be enough).

[@zzd9769]

So how many sessions are needed for a level 6 balding? A clinic offered me to cover my entire bald area (front, middle and back) in one session using approx. 4500 grafts of which they would distribute more to the front and less to the back. Is that going to look ok? Is it the right way?

[@davemaglish247]

as always very good and useful information

[@jefpapineau3792]

Hi Dr Gary what about PRP? Does it really work to grow back your hair?

Dr Gary, please do something on transplants for women with FFA

I'm 60 years old now at age 20 I had a full set of hair now I'm completely bald I have no hair on my head at all. I would love to get at least half of my hair back.

you must eradicate the DHT

[@dzim8822]

Dr. Linkov, have you ever used Verteporfin in any of your hair transplant procedures?

[@Silverpump]

Dr Zarev says is work but he doesn't use it (don't know why)

[@SquatSimp]

Is there a way to know if you are going to be a Norwood 6 or 7 before it happens?

[@jackbootshurek8040]

Look at the male relatives on your mom's side of the family. That will give a good idea where you'll end up.

There are videos of people traveling to TURKEY to get hair transplants by a GREAT doctor with many pleased patients! And they go there from the USA because what costs $10,000 here costs $2,000 there! Even with the plane fare you are way ahead financially!

[@Barbarra63297]

I'm going to check to see if you've done a vid on Rogaine for Women. I have a couple patches that just won't grow back from Chemo. Would like to hear what you think of Rogaine for Women and would it be likely to work or fail because the hair loss is chemo induced. Love your videos. BTW I'll be 70 in May.

[@Robin_0011]

Great video man!

[@kleyyer]

Could you talk about verteporfin and it's uses in hair transplant? There's Dr. Bloxham from NY and Dr. Barghouthi who seem to have had promising results with regrowth of hair in the harvested donor region. It would be really interesting if you talked about that.

[@zk5640]

Hey Doc, what about body hair? Can we not use chest, beard, pubes for the crown?

how many grafts can you take from the body?

Another great video Gary thank you. I'm working with my hair replacement. l about 6 or 7 years that's the picture of me in the profile. However over the last 6 months. However the last 6 months I've been taking breaks from wearing it and wearing a hat except when I want to go out and put the hair on. I've been doing derma stamping every two weeks. Oral 2.5 mgand topical minoxidil 5% proscar 1.25 mg. Its working. Im 50

you talk about minoxidil but my doctor prescribed me nanoxidil. is this a mistake? will nanoxidil work?

We need something that clones our grafts! then you never have the problem of 2-3 operations and you can really come back from the last stages.

Can you still shave your head to stubble after a hair transplant. I'm a 7 with thin hair but would like to have a hairline just to frame my face but would also like to keep it shaved to a stubble

[@smenardsmenard9852]

@drgarylinkov what about for women? I’m a 34yr old F with vasculitis and newly diagnosed adrenal insufficiency (just started hydrocortisone replacement) and my once thick hair is seriously thinning. I’m doing topical 5% minoxidil and 2.5mg oral minoxidil. Also taking iron. Do you do transplants for women like me? Is having long hair ok? Do you have any other recommendations? I’m so depressed and hate being out in public. Thank you! Long time fan ❤

[@reykennedy5716]

There's that spira... Something.. Women can take also for thinning hair. I dunno what hormone effect it can have, men shouldn't take it though. You could also try serum and shampoos with saw palmetto as it has a mild DHT blocking effect. You can get no shave transplants, but it's only for a smaller amount of grafts and will cost more. If your hair is thinned overall, it's not what you'd be looking for anyways. You need to try everything you can to thicken your follicles as you most likely don't have bald spots, but thinned hair.

[@reykennedy5716]

And also, I understand your frustration. Most of us do with loss. I used to style my hair into my late twenties, since I was maybe 6 years old.. now I wear hats all the time.. with the fear of needing to remove it

[@dopeyessir]

Honestly I started taking monoxide at age 28 we go bald quickly i my family but after 5 years I was able to reverse it. The only problem is that I have to be on monoxide and derma rollers to my life our my hair will fall out.

[@virgil3241]

How long will you keep that up, will there be an age where you say, to hell with it. 45, 50, 55, 60, 70? Or just do it forever

[@roadtogreat]

So you keept your Hair just with minoxidil and microneedling ?

[@brasero20000]

Do you take oral or topical Minoxidil ?

[@LILLO84]

If someone gets a hair transplant in his 40's will he able to keep his transplanted hair without using minoxidil or finasteride becaise the hair loss phase is pretty much finished at that age?

[@marloncoley1810]

Nope unfortunately

[@thecoddy4663]

Could you please inform me of the anticipated availability of topical finasteride and minoxidil spray ?

[@O1561-g8k]

if your only implanting 25% of the total hair that has been lost in a given zone, then why does planting an excess of hair in a given area result in death of the implanted hair? Isn't there sufficient blood/nutrient supply ? is that supply lost overtime along with the hair ?

I was a fully bald in August of 2023. I had a full head of hair in 2020, by the end of 2020, I was fully bald. No idea how it happend so quickly (I was slowly thinning, but nothing to crazy). I stayed bald until August 2023 when my head shaver broke (I should mention im a medical student and started med school in 2021, took about 6 months off when my son was born and returned in 2022). It is now end of march 2024 (7 months since being fully bald), I can can firlmy say that derma rolling and medical managment (minoxidil, finasteride, biotin) helped me in getting my hair back. But what helped even more, and when I started to see way more results was once I started sleeping more, eating cleaner, not skipping meals, putting on sun screen, covering my head from heavy sun when reasonably possible. I have a really loving family and I will say this helps. And my wife is an angel, who has supported me in every way (bald, broke, with hair, busy, sleepless and all the other things associated with being a med student dad). So really guys, Dr. Gary knows what he is saying, follow his advice.
