What's The Right Age To Start Hair Loss Treatment?

[@Drunk3nMonk3y72]

These two are the most honest genuine no bullshit Drs for hair loss I’ve ever come across. I suffered hair loss from a young age and used finasteride near 20 years ago. I was a super responder and my hair seemed to grow back while I was on it, I managed to keep a lot of my hair well into my late 30s. Now in my late 40s I’ve decided to let nature take its course. Although I have just started a course of Fin again just to see how much I can thicken it out. The information these guys give is second to none. And took scouring the internet and books to find 20-30 years ago

[@sareefimtiyas]

I started using this “Amy Grow” hair oil in college and left it behind for newer brands. I’ve had some thinning due to braids and decided to go back and re-try this oil and I wish I had never left. I like the smell of the natural oil. This natural oil does not smell like coconuts or birthday cake or fruit like many other hair products. Instead, it smells earthy and natural and I prefer that. I would not say this is an instant miracle oil, but I have seen growth with regular use and massaging of my scalp. Yes, it is oil, but it also helps to soften my coarse, kinky hair, but I can see it being greasy if you have a smoother texture or straighten your hair. I would not apply this at bedtime because it can stain your sheets. Instead, I apply it in the morning so it has time to absorb during the day. Overall I highly recommend this “Amy-Grow” natural hair oil. It’s affordable, the ingredients are natural and it can assist growth. The amount you apply depends on your texture and style, so start with a couple of drops and go from there.

It has stopped me from doing many things I want to do, such as swimming and being anxiety-free in social situations. If I were to get an FUT in my early 30's, how can I plan to keep my hair for a lifetime. I am open to having more operations if needed throughout my life.

I am currently 25, already started experiencing hair thinning and hair loss, i haven't taken any medication yet, but i will probably start with micro-dose of fin and maybe bump it up to 1mg if i don't see much effect. I don't plan on taking fin for my entire life, it is completely unnecessary. Just keep your hair while you are young, and if you want, you can try and keep it into your 50's and 60's, but that's just too much toll on your body. Let nature take its course at that point.

Hi doc’s, I’m 22 years old this year and got marked at a 3 vertex. Although when looking at models of a 3 vertex, I feel I look better. I was told a FUE transplant would be a great option and if I maintained finasteride I would not have to worry of losing my hair any further and post transplant. I’m healthy and athletic with no issues with ED, but should I be worried about finateride side effects? And is the transplant a smart option if i use fin? Thanks guys.

[@TheHairLossShow]

Jay, this is a great question and really does highlight the issues. Firstly, you are quite young to already be a 3 vertex. Please don't take that badly, but it means that you are more to the moderate / aggressive end of the scale. With someone like that, the concern is how much further will you progress; with or without medication. Remember, even with finasteride, you still run the risk of losing more hair over time. There is a risk of early transplantation. The problem would be that if you need multiple surgeries over time will you run out of donor hair? If you go down the road of having a hair transplant, the key question is which technique would be better? There will be a lot of factors affecting that decision; but purely on an age basis, one could argue that you are better off starting with FUT and progressing to FUE later... Good luck!

I’m 20 years old and I am currently 3 weeks into my Finasteride journey. I wondered since my beard is far from fully developed if the lowered dht level in my body will destroy my potential of ever getting a beard, simply delay the process a bit or if it won’t have that much of a influence in facial hair development? I started Finasteride because of a slight thinning at the temples but otherwise a very thick good head of hair, and I want to stop further hair loss before it gets really noticeable since all males in my family suffers male pattern baldness, but it would be really sad if that means no beard ever. Should I wait a few years before I continue Finasteride to give my beard more time to mature, or is it possible to continue Finasteride so I can keep a good head of hair, and still developing a beard over time? It is worth noting that males in my family can get beard, but it usually doesn’t develop properly before mid twenties.

[@eXolusiatious]

It probably will slow the beard development down to a degree, but it's really up to you if you want to keep using it. Keep in mind that testosterone is still androgenic and will keep your beard growing. Testosterone should maintain your facial hair. Depending on your hair situation (Norwood level) I'd keep using it. I mean you're 20, it's not like you're 15/16 years old. And honestly, I'd rather have no facial hair but a thick head of hair than be bald with a thick beard.

my son is 24 yrs old and suffering from male pattern baldness i want him to start with finasteride. can he start with 1mg a day? thanks.

[@hvcool]

41 years old.....1 Year after Hairtransplant, will it be fine to start FIN? I have not been taking anything except multivitamins formulated for hair and natural DHT

[@NabeelKhan-lx2ly]

Dr how can you accurately estimate or calculate that a hair is at 50% thickness?

[@woofy8867]

So since I’m 22 with a Norwood 5 and my dad is a Norwood 5 or 6 and he is 62 years old. And my mother’s, brother’s one is I believe 54 years old and the other one is 50 years old. The younger brother my other uncle, had a Norwood 6 pattern when he was 43 years old I looked at pictures and he had and still has high sides and large donor area (I saw in person) and a few hairs meaning like 10 left but they were spread out, still on the top of his head. My other uncle that is 54 years old right now he has a Norwood 6 pattern I’m pretty sure because he still has high sides and a small patch on frontal forelock. So my question is since they are high Norwood’s but not Norwood 7 (I don’t think) and they are in there 50s and my dad is in his 60s. Am I only programmed to go up to a Norwood 5 or 6? and then my male pattern baldness has stopped and then I can get a transplant?

[@TheHairLossShow]

No. There is no way of predicting. My father is a Norwood 6-7. I just drew the genetic lottery. Family history can give you an idea but no guarantee.

[@stevewise1656]

Excellent as always!

Thanks a lot for all these valuable videos! Regarding the reducing dht therapies (by blocking the type I/II 5alfa reductase enzyme), how would you evaluate saw palmetto (320mg with 80%-90% of fatty acids per day)?

[@TheHairLossShow]

My issue with Saw Palmetto is that it doesn't have a predictable pattern of working. There are no studies (that hold up to statistical analysis) that demonstrate the effectiveness of Saw Palmetto. That is not to say that people haven't had benefit, it is just not predictable.

[@nyimahere4670]

Search 'Post Finasteride Syndrome' (PFS) before you consider treatment. Make sure you are well informed. There are much worse things than hair loss.

[@asimayub6178]

Is 3 mg a week enough to preserve your hair?? I have been using minoxidil for 7-8 months which decreased my hairfall but still i loose plenty of hairs.. I'm 18 and my condition is not that bad...( I still have plenty hairs on my head) so I wanna know if 3mg is enough because I don't wanna over-treat it.

[@TheHairLossShow]

3mg per week works for most people.

[@asimayub6178]

And how long till I can see a decrease in hairfall?

[@TheHairLossShow]

@@asimayub6178 usually within 2-3 months.

Okay... Thanks alot.

[@EvadeModsRGH]

Have you made much progress?

If we stop using hair serum does it begin the hairfall?

[@jayzanthonybalaoing7537]

Thanks for the videos.. can minoxidel be used alone?Will it be effective..?

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

It can but best effect is to combine with DHT inhibitor ( Dutasteride or Finasteride)

[@narayanans8752]

Hi Now my age is 36,I am suffering hair loss problem for the past 20years.Msny times I was used Minoxidil and discontinued. Now 30% of hair only there. Now my hair position is Crown side no hair, upper side also 5% on hair only there,Middle part also 10% of hair only there, Front side 15% of hair is there remaining all sides & back side 50% of hair is there. Right now I am not taken any hair growth treatment.kindly assist me, If there any possible to get new hair for taking Finasteride tablet with Minoxidil solution or else No use for taking treatment???

[@jackbirchall9863]

Is it worth trying to prevent hair loss/ get a hair transplant if your not willing to take finasteride, but are using minoxidil daily and taking vitamins such a as biotin zinc etc ?

[@benbelazi8162]

I’m looking to to do it myself I’m not bothered taking fin for my hair life! My best guess is you’ll want to be willing to do multiple hair transplants + smp to achieve a good result! Depending on your predestined hair loss you can make it to 60 with a “good head of hair”

[@SABBIR2600K]

If u go through hair transplant doc will give u minox and finasteride 😂😂😂

Is it safe to take finasteride if one is diagnosed with hypertension?

[@toomanytubes0002]

Hello doctors! I started finasteride 2 weeks ago 1MG per day. First 5 days of taking it I had unrelenting heart palpitations... not 100% sure they were heart palps but I had jumping in my chest anyways (without pain) that lasted for this number of days. Have not had absolutely any other problems associated with the medication since. Feel great. Was wondering if you have heard of this happening or could shed some light on what happened to me? I figure it was just my body adapting in some weird way. Thank you for your time!

[@TheHairLossShow]

Probably your body getting used to the new levels of the different hormones. Glad it has settled.

[@toomanytubes0002]

The Hair Loss Show That’s what I figured. Thanks a bunch for your input!

[@WholesaleJewelleryAustralia]

Hey any update? Any other side effects and how’s the hair looking? Would love a quick update!

[@toomanytubes0002]

J Allson Sure thing. This may be a tough pill to swallow (pun intended) but in the weeks after this comment all hell broke loose. I was so determined to continue and fought on and on... lowering the dose etc... I finally threw in the towel on July 14th. As of August 29th, I am just now feeling normal again and hope I continue to recover. Severe insomnia, forgetfulness, memory loss, slowed thinking, poor attention, sexual shutdown, climaxes that felt no better than passing gas (no joke). It was like I didn’t sleep for months yet at the same time I was so wired it was like I drank several cups of coffee. Roughly 5 and a half months on the drug. Hair never changed. I have diffuse thinning. I am hoping to consult a qualified dermatologist this time to get to the bottom of the cause of thinning in my personal case. May not even be MPB for sure anyways. Wasted my whole year torturing myself with this medication, not that 2020 has been worth “enjoying” anyways. Ha!

[@toomanytubes0002]

I want to add... even though I’m not a very pro- pharmaceutical person in the first place at all, don’t let my experience dissuade you... I wasn’t exactly an ideal candidate in the first place... I have always had a lot of constitutional issues. YMMV

Topical Finasteride is getting a be a popular topic. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it along with this other topical, Breezula, meant to be getting FDA approved this year for AGA

[@Qrowbar93]

For us poor souls who somehow still get sides from microdosing!

[@BlahBlahPoop617]

Zachary Macer Where did you hear that the FDA is approving it this year?? So it will be available to be used for hair loss and prescribed this year you’re saying? Interesting about the drug, because it inhibits PGD-2, which aspirin also does powerfully..

23 and currently just about to develop a mature hairline (my hairline is about 95% juvenile). I am asian with a full head of thick hair for now. Paternal side is bald, maternal side not bald. should I start taking microdoses of finasteride just as a preventative measure?

Ive been taking finasteride & minoxidil for a good 6 months. And cant help but notice i lose about 20-30 hairs in the sink after applying the minoxidil. Is this a normal amount?

[@TheHairLossShow]

Yes, you can lose anywhere between 150-200 hairs per day.

[@sangeetabittu1498]

@@TheHairLossShow Then wats the use of minoxidil....??? 150hairloss i feel depressed all the time i apply m losing hair since 20days m using mino

[@krishnat70-1]

@@sangeetabittu1498 the thing is that minoxidil actually works on stimulating the hair growth and the hairs only grow in anagen phase(3-5years),minoxidil works by extending the phase, so when the hair is in telogen phase minoxidil doesn't work on that particular hair and when the telogen phase(lasts 2-3 months)of the hair ends and new anagen phase starts minoxidil starts working, thats why doctors recommend 3-4 months of continuous usage to see results

Hi guys what are your thoughts on topical Finasteride, evidence supports sides are almost 0, and has nearly the same effectiveness. What are your views?

[@exshenanigan2333]

i wonder this as well

[@TheHairLossShow]

We have many patients that are on it and are tolerating better than the oral form. It is keeping them stable so that is the key.

[@Broke-disastrous-guy]

So topical finasteride works almost as good as oral ? @The hair loss show

I have noticed thinning but also I now only see thinning, I take Minoxidil and am on a big vitamin regiment. Honestly I am a nervous guy and with my hair sadly I am a touch vain, I want to start finasteride but it seems the doctors at Keeps and Hims seem that they will prescribe to anyone so at almost 35 do you think it would be smart to bite the bullet and just start treatment in finasteride? thank you for all of these videos
