Is hair transplant possible without Finasteride ? These 10 categories can skip Finasteride

Finasteride is needed after a hair transplant except in 10 categories of patients in whom a hair transplant is possible without Finasteride. You can skip taking Finasteride after a hair transplant if you fall in one of these 10 categories as discussed by Dr Bhatti of Darling Buds Hair Transplant Clinic in India:
1. The role of DHT was first noted in the 60s when an observation was made in males in a large community in the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. This group was deficient in 5α-reductase-2. These males never developed an enlarged prostate or male pattern baldness. This discovery ultimately revealed that DHT is the specific Androgen responsible for prostate enlargement and hair loss.
5 alpha reductase deficiency. 5-Alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency (5-ARD) is an autosomal recessive sex-limited condition resulting in the inability to convert testosterone to the more physiologically active dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
2. When progression is slow or when your gene has switched off. This is explained in my video with the same title and the link is in the description.
3. Traction alopecia is Sikhs and in those racial groups that tie their braids tightly will not benefit by Finasteride.
4. Finasteride is not indicated in premenopausal women.
5. When it is just a trait like a temple point recession or a wide forehead without androgenetic alopecia, Finasteride will not help and should not be taken.
6. For facial hair transplant using body hair. The DHT paradox though on one hand causes hair fall in the scalp but on the other is responsible for facial hair growth. So when beard grafts from the shadow area are used for beard enhancement or for moustache restoration, Finasteride is not required.
7. When only body hair are used on the head for example in low density hair transplant as an adjunct to scalp micro-pigmentation.
8. When you are above 35 and have low grade of baldness say ¾ and the doctor tells you that you have a good donor with none or minimal miniaturisation.
9. When you are over 60. In fact when you are over 60 there is also half a chance you are on Finasteride for your prostate and this issue of side effects of Finasteride will therefore not concern you any longer.
10. When contraindicated in your specific case after detailed psychosocial, hormonal and other assessment.

Doc, can Boron be used in synergy with Finasteride? There's been a couple studies which indicate that short term supplementation with 6 mg Boron per day raised free testosterone by ~25%, whereas Estrogen levels dropped down. Since Finasteride increases serum levels of E2, wouldn't it be beneficial if Boron supplementation; e.g. Boron Glycinate is used along with Finasteride? If yes, for how long and how to cycle it for maximum efficacy? Oh and thank you for the excellent education you're providing to the community free of cost!

[@r_x004]

in Europe, most hair transplant surgeons will REFUSE to operate on progressive patients who are not on FInasteride for at least a year before surgery. And they will ask their patients to sign an undertaking letter pledging that they will keep on taking the drug after the surgery. They do firmly believe that HT has to be coupled with a DHT blocker in order to achieve results and to protect the reputation and efficiency of their clinic/practice. Otherwise, they will not preform the surgery.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Though most of these clinics go overboard a large number of patient do need Finastreide before the procedure. Reputation needs to be protected in all regions wherever you practice!

Is it possible for a patient to have BPH prostate issue and have good amount of hair .will the use of finasteride unmask his baldness ? How will it affect him.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

BPH has no correlation with baldness other than the fact that the treatment involves blocking conversion of testosterone to DHT in both.

[@BelmakciN]

Generally speaking, if hair loss has stabilized, is Finasteride a good choice for hair regrowth?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Why would you need it then.

[@deanslife1]

Does finasteride help keep what you have as well as hair new hair growth? If you stop taking it for however long you lose the hair growth made? Do you also need to topical minoxidil or can you just take finasteride, i'm 37 now, do you have to keep taking it for the rest of your life to maintain it? Also I have a couple vitiligo patches across the front of my scalp, do you have experience in hair transplants where new hair growth sprouts up on the areas of the vitiligo? And how would I get this finasteride? Online or my GP and 1mg is best to start with?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Hi. The vitiligo patches will get pigented to a significant effectif hair are planted there since grafts carry pigment with them and this spreads peripherally in vitiligo patches. In fact this has been used for treatment of the clinical entitiy to many decades now besides SSG. Finasterde is a prescription drug and a doctor will be bale to prescribe you the correct dosage best suited for you.

Male, mid 40s, between Norwood 1-2, lots and lots of fine hair (non-thinning) all over head except for moderate recessions in the temples area. Temple hairs fell out sometime during the 30s ages - maybe 5-10 years earlier. (Father still has almost full head of hair at age 80 but looks closer to Norwood 2 but not 3.) Is this temple recession a trait or male pattern balding? And if I undergo hair transplant at temples only, do I need finasteride, or do I fall into your trait exception? Thank you.

This is likely a trait from the history you have provided. And hence Finasteride is not required.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

If baldness is not yet stable and there is miniaturisation in the scalp donor, your baldness will continue to progress. The hair other than the beard hair that were planted will then continue to thin. Beard hair being not affected by DHT, will thrive if Finasteride is not being consumed.

[@SemiDurakovic]

Hairloss is androgenic! There is no way to prevent further hairloss if you dont stop androgens from killing your hair. Only anti-androgens like finasteride/dutesteride can safely do that. Less than 2% of patience of finasteride get side effects. I have been on dutasteride for over 3 years and never had any side effects, it's mostly mental/being scared that it will happen.

[@martykaan860]

@@SemiDurakovic I understand that but that 2% statistic is so arbitrary and a lot of people take it and suffer from side effects but don’t report it. The truest number is probably 2 or 3 in every 4 people. Just consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Why did you take dutasteride instead of finasteride?

[@SemiDurakovic]

@@martykaan860 There are many studies that show telling patience about possible side effects as compared to a control group and a regular group that wasn't told about side effects increases the "chance of side effects" 3x. Which obviously shows how much of it is just a nocebo effect since DHT is actually not a hormone that has anything to do with ED. I can send u all of the studies if you want.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Postop care is described in detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eombpYaOrJJ-b80

[@hairtransplantinindia]

That high number you quote is since people do not get investigated before starting on DHT blockers. Mind you 40-50% males in the age group 25-35 are suffering from ED and lack of libido today. In these cases Finasteride would tip the balance. Finasteride is safe to take if only in the coterie that has been psychologically and medically investigated and counseled in detail.

Yes people are anxious when they read about it. It could also be their nature. Need to be counseled and if this anxiety is causing disruption in life and work, the drug should be stopped or you take a break.

Hi Doc. Hope you are well. Refering to point 8: I am aged 36. My hair loss has been extremely gradual over many years and is slowly receeding at the temples and a bit on the crown. My donor area is very good and quite thick .. Do you think I can omit finasteride? I am considering a transplant but would prefer not to take finasteride if possible. Thanks for your helpful content

[@hairtransplantinindia]

A minor hair transplant procedure will settle your problem for good. Finasteride for just 6 months following the procedure.

[@torstenheling3830]

I frankly don’t see any point in taking finasteride at all. Have the hair transplant and it will 100% restore your hair loss forever. It did with me (well, I could still use another 3000 FUs in the crown, but I never lost any hair after my hair transplant. Finasteride would never in a million years have regrown the hair in my crown anyway (it’s not all gone as it is). No one needs drugs to fiddle with their male sex hormones just over a little hair. That’s a fools error, in my opinion.

Hi Doctor, I am 23 and have been using finasteride 1mg/day for the past 3.5 months and it has slowed my shedding down from 220 hairs a day to 150-170 hairs a day.. I still feel I am shedding a lot more than normal(50-100 hairs).. Should I wait 3-4 months more to see full effect of finasteride or should i start dutasteride since finasteride is not working as expected.(My dermatologist checked my hairs with microscope and said i do have androgenetic alopecia but i dont have extreme miniaturization/empty follicles and hair diameter is almost within normal limits).

[@hairtransplantinindia]

You should wait for a full year on Finasterie before upping the ante.

[@torstenheling3830]

Why not just get a hair transplant? And forget the finasteride hormone lowering drugs? You don’t need that stuff. The problem is not your hormones, but the sensitivity of your hair follicles to normal levels of sex hormones in your blood. So, replace the weak genetically inferior hair follicles with stronger ones. Easy. Androgenic alopecia IS NOT, I repeat NOT a disease, and NO competent physician in the world will tell you that! That’s like saying having dark hair is a disease. It’s complete unscientific nonsense!! Don’t listen to these Pharma people who want to sell you hormone reducing drugs!

@@torstenheling3830 Yeah i am considering getting a hair transplant but i do not want to take finastride. Transplanted hair do not need finastride to grow hairs right?

[@torstenheling3830]

@@badcpy5430 You’re absolutely right. Transplanted hairs are already genetically resistant to the effects of DHT. Finasteride has no effect on them whatsoever. That’s why men always grown hair without finasteride on the sides and back of the head where these super- hair follicles exist in all men and from which the transplanted hair is taken.

Do all males over 60 have prostate enlargement?

[@hairtransplantinindia]

It affects about 50% percent men in the 51- 60 and up to 90 percent of men above 80. So not all have benign prostatic hypertrophy.

[@torstenheling3830]

Im not sure but it’s fair to say the majority of men over 60 have BPH (benignly large prostates), which is why we get up once in the night to pee like clockwork. I’ve never met a guy over about age 55 who didn’t get up at least once per night to pee. Some get up more than that. You get used to it and think if you slept the night through, like a 22 year old, there must be something wrong! Lol. I slept the night through once, like for 7 hours once without getting up and I thought I must be sick!! Lol. Yeah, you can count on having a large prostate over age 60. it’s not that bad. You get used to it. I have. But you can take medication, like Flowmax to get rid of it. Or Proscar to shrink the prostate, and that helps with slowing hair loss too.

Sir iam 29 years 6 months old. Iam suffering from male pattern baldness , Loosing hairs for last 8 years. Iam at grade 5. Front area, temples, Crown area are almost Bald. Especially crown area. But the thing is, i have no family history of baldness in any previous generations of mine. Neither from Mother side, nor from father side. My Dad and my uncles from both parents side aur 60+ but they didnt even lost their hair Line. My elder brother too didnt lost a single strand of hair. Then how can i have MPB or Androgenic Alopecia.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Because genetics and epigenetics works like this. Every member of the family does not get blue eyes. This is the law of inheritance. Our lifestyles have not helped any bit. The gene through epigenetic influences gets unmasked much earlier. That may be the reason in your case.

Dr I am 28 years old, have grade 5.5 baldness, as a test I used 1mg oral finastriside for 3 days, and noticed some side effects. 1) My donor area is healthy, can I skip finastriside and get a hair transplant done for about 4000 grafts, with some from beard. 2) Can i take 1 mg oral finastriside for six months, bare the side effects, discontinue after six months (praying the side effects will go away after two three months) and maybe try a lower dose after six months.

[@hairtransplantinindia]

Grade 5 baldness at 28 years of age wold likely progress further for which finasteride would be needed, even after a hair transplant. However, if you are noticing side effects, please et your total serum testosterone done to rule out any pre-existing hypogonadism. For more information regarding the same you can watch my video on youtube on hypogonadism. Also, please specify what kind of side effects are you experiencing. Moreover, I can't be sure that you have grade 5 MPB and whether you can get a hair transplant done or not without looking at your photographs and certain lab investigations.
