[@stevo3405]

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.

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

[@KFC431]

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.

[@shehzaadful]

@@KFC431 true. Even I tried medication for many years but nothing worked in the end did HT.. cause it was all genetics and medication can't really control hairfall it baldness is in the blood

[@KFC431]

@@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)

[@sparaz]

To answer late I will say that's a very bad idea as the half life is about 6 hours so in 18 hours you have 12.5% effectiveness and the testosterone will be more heavily converted to DHT following that. Essentially the second day your follicles will be affected by DHT and over years it will still reduce your loss but it will be far less effective at preserving your hair over 5 to 10 years.

a lot of the medical literature shows that finasteride side effects are more likely early on, and that 1mg daily has the highest efficacy, probably worth a shot titrating up to .5mg and seeing if it makes any difference, fact that you've been fine until now means you'll probably tolerate a higher dose just fine.

And if so, what's the remedy for those cases where you would like to maintain your hair after long-term use of the medication but find that Finasteride stops working? Is Dutasteride the answer? Will Dutasteride also lose effectiveness in the long run?

[@Lokkodog]

thanks for all your vides, but quick question, so Finasteride is ONLY for existing hair NOT transplanted hair correct?

[@josephsalim9638]

It’s for both. The transplanted hair can be DHT sensitive

[@Ohaechesi]

Would he have to take Finasteride forever? or is there an age range where it's usually not required to take anymore? YOUR THOUGHTS

[@shaislam-q7f]

The guy did have a very good donor area to be accepted for a third hair transplant. I would like to see how his donor area looks now but the guy doesn't show it. In any case, it's a sad truth that allot of us who do have advanced hair loss and then choose to go for a hair transplant will need to be on medication rest of our lives.

[@bow.2911]

Is there any chance of having a good transplant without Fin ? I used it two years ago and had really bad sideeffects !

[@chandu_champ]

Like? ED?

[@SombraLocs]

What type of medication should I try first before attempting to get a hair transplant? Right now, I have a receding hairline with the top of my scalp thinning out.

[@jawadshinwari8281]

Good review .

[@maxaffe3195]

i have the same hair like my dad. i lost hair and i am 25 yo now but it kinda stops. i have the temples receding but they do not recede past that point. and my dad still has hair at 64.

[@hp_husky]

My strategy was to completely avoid a hair transplant and use medical therapy. I take finasteride, monoxidil, and use micro-needling hair growth therapy with a medical grade derma-pen (not a roller!!!) for my hairline once a week every Sunday at 1.5mm. Originally I started at 0.5mm to enhance topical absorption of monoxidil. I gradually increased the depth of the needle to 1.5mm for topical absorption and to stimulate deeper scalp layers. You want to avoid rollers. This is because the needles come in at an angle which can cause unnecessary scarring. It can potentially lead to further hair-loss. The roller method also to a fault relies on your manual applied pressure which can be inconsistent. A derma-pen will automatically inject at the depth setting you select regardless of your applied pressure. Keep in mind, this is much more painful than a roller. Invest in a good numbing cream and to make the process smoother, apply a water based gel to your skin to remove any friction.

I lost my of my hair b4 I was 20 years old, I am completely bald now (38) and shave my head. Although I look pretty good without hair.

[@KLEMAOFFICIAL]

Hello! Nice result in that video. What am I suppose to do, if Finasteride for me is a dangerous treatment, because I had a whole bingo of side effects after 1-3 month of using this medical and still, after 5 years - have some issues. 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.

[@joshmoronstein]

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.

[@KLEMAOFFICIAL]

@@joshmoronstein Ok, got it! I've returned to oral Finasteride 5mg (in our Mordor - we haven't alternatives like 1mg) and I splitting tabs to 0.65mg 'cause Imma too much sensitive to this meds and consuming it once per day. Now feeling myself comfortable.

[@AuMyat]

So how long does it require to take Finasteride after surgery? Or is it a life long commitment to take the medication? Is it safe to take it like long as long as one doesn’t see any side effects?

[@TerryMcVicci]

Hey doc. Is it okay to take finasteride (1mg) 3 times a week for hairloss? I’m taking it every Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

[@bitmaker6149]

Not sure what's the point with taking Finasteride. It has possible side effects such as erectile disfunction and you have to take it all your life in order to keep your hair. Is it worth ?

[@flanker909]

Quick question: Do Finasteride protected DHT sensitive hair go through the natural shedding/regrowth life cycle or does this medicine prevent that as well? Thanks

[@sirus312]

I am athlete and what made my hair healthier again late 30s/early 40s was stop being so lean. I added loads of fats to my diet, sure leanness went away but my hair became very healthy looking again. I stopped overtraining in the gym. I think my body was under stress staying in such great shape my hair suffered because of it.

[@HelloThere-lo3qi]

Can the donor area of a hair transplant be other than the back of the head? Like could hairs from, for example, the nape, back, or chest be used to transplant new hairs?

If we pull out the transplanted hair by the roots, will new hair grow back on the same roots?

[@HaggisMuncher-69-420]

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.

[@Musicalipsa]

I would like to ask you, i am using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for 6 month, my hair has completely restored and i would like to stop using minoxidil but continue with finasteride. Does somebody know will all my gains from finasteride fall out?

[@Trad-Am]

I didn't start to have any thinning, until after 40, probably 42-45, and mostly on the cowlick, on the back and some top left.

Hey, I have tried finasteride but I get insomnia from it, even topical. I also got imsonia from Zinc. Do you know why ?

[@ya7077]

Hello, quick question why do you talk about finasteride but not dutasteride isn't it better?

[@josephsalim9638]

Here is the reason why: 1. FDA Approval: Finasteride is FDA-approved for treating male pattern baldness, whereas dutasteride is not, even though it is used off-label for this purpose. 2. Research and Experience: There is more clinical research and longer-term data available for finasteride, making it a more familiar and trusted option for many doctors. 3. Side Effects: Dutasteride may have a higher risk of side effects due to its stronger inhibition of both type I and type II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, compared to finasteride which primarily inhibits type II.

[@chadspinalbosd007]

The state I live in is know for hard water, I dna test and their was no trait of baldness. When I go to Colombia, NY, or Dominican Republic for a week+ my hair grows back in areas where i lost it. Without taking anything

[@xxo5294]

My hair has been very slowly thinning since my mid 20s and now at 32 I’m losing a lot more hair to the point that it’s really affecting how I style my hair. 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

[@chepibe2011]

Hey Doctor, I have a question! Does oral Finasteride make body and/or facial hair grow thicker? What about oral Minoxidil? And what about the topical forms? Thanks!!

[@joshmoronstein]

Finasteride and topical minoxidil doesn't. Oral minoxidil can.

[@icarus2k]

​@joshmoronstein Topical Minoxidil grows hair wherever you apply it given that you can grow hair there

@@icarus2k Well yeah, that's true. I thought he meant if you apply it to your head.

[@kemal6568]

Hello sir, first of all, the hairs taken from the chest can be used, but I know that they cannot grow long and the anagen phase is very short. I wonder if the hairs taken from the chest adapt to the hairs on the beard? So the anagen phase is the same as the beard hair and now it has thick roots? I want to use the hair on my chest for beard transplantation, but I do not have any information about it.

[@universalbarber1038]

Dr.Gary ! I’m super curious to know , is diffuse thinning way harder to treat over the long run? Way more surface area to treat ? as I’d imagine someone with just big recession areas just fill that in (as most I feel still have preserved crown ). Would love to hear! Haha I’m a diffuse thinner and Kind of wish I just had huge recession areas rather than somewhat of a uniform thin😅 Thanks great vid !👊

[@non7top]

Plastic surgeries in Türkiye are quite a thing. Mostly rhinoplasty, since on average Turks have biggest noses in the world. And second is hair transplants, which probably went along with first one with the help of general improvement of the technology. Considering how low their prices are, no wonder it's become so popular.
