@@michaelshamal8581 no he didn't unfortunately

People should consult with a doctor. Not a KZfaqr

​@@davidfnaranjo I am not suggesting skipping the doctor's consultation. But you shouldn't forget that doctors are also people with different biases + they run businesses that need to survive. I learned it on my own skin. The quality of hair transplant clinics worldwide ranges from 2/10 - 10/10. Many people still assume that a certified doctor employed in an official clinic = great hair transplant result guaranteed because they must know what they do. But this is not true, unfortunately. That is why I offer my help.

@@letsgethair you need to show the real status of your hair without good lighting and comb over. How are we going to know of all your suggestions are true. FUE dont survive (maybe few) FUT is better because the root/fat or whatever you want to call it are still intact and disect properly, without ruining it. Downfall is the scar but there's camouflaging and maybe let the hair grow and cover it.

Fortunately he didn't spend a fortune on his hair transplant.

Yeah well said for people who are going to have surgery DON'T get surgery until you own meds for at least a year - Fin..Minox..After one year you will have a good baseline for IF you need surgery and the Dr. will be able to tell you what they can realistic do with surgeries. Please remember that this is for life so if your young I would be very careful to try and keep your hairline as when your in your 20's understanding it won't look natural when your in your 50's

@@NoXeB1995 PRP helps a lot but it's too expansive... you need to maintain it every 3 months.. kinda not worth it sure it gives you the results/thickness.. but it's really expansive. unless you are rich.

@@samzk5994 Then it's best to not get a HT. Maybe a hair piece wold be more siutible for such people.

How long have you been taking it?

@John Smith take it been on it for three years with no side affects . it’s a must to protect and improve your quality of hair. Until new advancements are approved this is what we got to fight Mother Nature and I’m sure as hell going to fight with proven results such as finistrade and dutastride

@John Smith little advice for you : just take 0,5mg of finasteride per day ! 0,5mg is already very effective and it will limit your risk of side effects. I do take only 0,5mg per day and i'm even off on Sunday. Which means 0,5mg 6 days a week is more than enough. You save money this way and you won't get a single side effect for sure. The funny part is that finasteride actually increased my libido ! Lol

@Rtg Nzb not yet. Plan to have some pretty soon though. Did a complete sperm test before starting finasteride and 2 years later while on finasteride. There is no changes at all. If anything my sperm quality is slightly better than before (I do some more exercice and eat a bit healthier than 2 years ago). The fear mongering about finasteride on the internet is absolutely huge... I myself waited 5 years before starting finasteride cause I was scared... (I started finasteride at Norwood 3...) I just wish I started at Norwood 1 !!!

@@mrbutter6933 2 years! I started to notice my hairline receding a little in my mid 40s but never really got any worse!

Proof ?

@@boblully5053Proof? What? Why are you being belligerent? It’s not exactly a dramatic claim to say that “Fin + Min” maintain a hairline? Doctors prescribe it for a reason.

Maybe you can try finasteride instead. Maybe you won't get side effects from it. It's more effective than minoxidil too.

25 years is good timelap.I did mine in my 40s a month ago ,so a good 25 years more plus anually doing PRP sessions will deifnetely improve thge thining and a good life style is the way to go.

most likely 'advice' from some scaremongering, unqualified idiot on the interent. That's usually the reason why men get put off using medication

I asked him about it but he wasn't into it. He wanted better density on the hairline.

What if teenagers get hair loss.It is also part of getting older and to accept.

See a doctors finasteride and minoxidil is what most use.

Where would you even get RU58841? I have no idea where to get it.

Hey, I'm on finasteride since 18 mounths and I personnaly experienced the opposite : Beard grows faster and new body hair follicules have quicky emerged on the beard and neck areas after strarting the pills. Now I have to shave every 3-4 days instead of 5-6 days pre-pill (beard trimmer), plus my beard is denser by ~15%.

I'm not saying its not mental but fin gave me excessive insomonia like 40+ hrs of insomonia, I already was suffering with Insomonia and fin just made it way worse, doc told me to stop and I was able to sleep well again, it sucks bc I don't even care about the other sides

Fin affects neurosteroids and can definitely without a doubt cause insomnia

U a smart man!

Not without taking tonnes of immunosuppressive medication (similar to people who get organ transplants) Even then it's hit or miss. It's more likely we will achieve hair cloning.

Not gonna happen without the person getting transplant taking immunosuppressants for life. These have pretty strong sides too.

@@letsgethair the only hope would be hair multiplication...🤔

Its possible already but ethically surgeons wont do it as hair loss isnt classed as life threatening such as when a person has a lung,heart transplant etc. I have friends that would be willing to donate hair and id be prepared to go on immunosupressants to get a full head of hair

@@benchabanehocine7809 interesting. I wonder if a person bone marrow, can help create duplicates of a person hair follicles.

pre op

Yea true it should be

Not everyone wants to be on finasteride

@@ViktorM1 yea but if you’re not on it there’s not really a point in getting a transplant, your hair loss will progressively just get worse and worse.

it lowers your libido, and can cause erectile disfunction. I prefer loosing hair

@@davidfnaranjo yea but if you get a hair transplant it would be pointless, if not on medication. You’ll go bald with only transplanted left.

Everyone reacts differently no two people are the same/ some require more/ only u will know. Even if u was under the care of a Dr, he will prescribe and monitor your progression and adjust etc hence you asking us if topical will help- only you will know as time will tell once you try it. In theory oral targets the DHT in your body which makes it way to scalp/ and that is more powerful than using topicals as you’re targeting it from within.

When you say no results, do you mean no regrowth? Or your hair is the same? Very likely that Finasteride has made a difference and without it you'd be worse off. Topical probably won't do anything more than oral. Have you tried Minoxidil and microneedling?

@@bonkling noo, my hairline just kept receding. I also used minoxidol kirkland foam + micro needling, but also no results. Right now im using ru58841 on top if it for 2 weeks

Finasteride will keep your existing hair, or do minimum regrowth on crown or diffuse thinning. If you lost hairline or have big bald spots it won't help

Finasteride

@@letsgethair thanks

Minoxidil is like Usain Bolt. It's power is explosive, but not sustainable for a long run

There is no evidence that topical would give less results

@@pepthelad evidence doesn’t always mean it will work. May work for you but for me it wasn’t very effective. 1 year and a half on oral finasteride slowed my hair loss significantly and started to regrow hair which began to improve after a year. Close to 2 years on topical finasteride and my crown thinning doubled in size.

.... Maybe try PRP? Expensive though

@@shush97 I tried it once but didn’t notice a difference. Maybe once is not enough and it has to be at least a few sessions before you notice a difference but every session will hurt your wallet. It’s very pricey for a quick procedure. I am trying micro needling with minoxidil, plus tretinoin at the moment and later get back on topical finasteride or even micro dosing oral finasteride.

Try lowering your finasteride dose.

1mg daily and no issues. Everyone needs to start it before it’s too late.

@@fm00092 exactly !

everyone taking it should be checking with a doctor every once in a while. Especially if you want to have kids in the future. I am not saying don't take it. Just saying, take it with precaution and make sure you are not losing your libido. Is good to have medical checks

I was one of the few unlucky people with Fin. I took it for 5 years, it was amazing for my hair. I don’t really regret taking it at the time because at that age I just couldn’t handle hairloss (25).. it helped to just put my mind back at ease. But after about 3 years I started to notice side effects, at first I blamed other things. But decided to take a break from the drug and the side effects went away in two weeks but my hair loss came back eventually so panicked again and tried going back to Fin but only a pill every other day. But my side effects just got even worse than the first time I was on Fin. I had to stop Fin because I realized that my general health is much more important than hair. But I tried Minoxidil after that but I was allergic to it haha 😆…. And so I was left with zero treatment options. Dermaroller doesn’t do much on it’s own… I’m just waiting for some new treatments that are safer for me personally. But my point is that I understand people who don’t take Fin, or have but had to stop. If you’re lucky you can take Fin all your life and be fine and it saves your hair. But like with any drug, some people experience side effects. The scary thing was that when I finally quit Fin the second time it took a few years to recover not just two weeks. But this was just my personal experience. We often tend to think everyone else will have the same experience, so if it’s safe for you it’s safe for everyone or if it’s unsafe for you it’s unsafe for everyone. But that’s not how it works. It’s individual. People react to coffee differently too

​@@lassesuurmunne8340 can I ask you what type of sides you got ? And it took years for it to happens ?

@@vincewarren1271 I think he was probably stressing about it, resulting to sides

@@kinoux09 You just correctly described the majority of people claiming finasteride side effects

As Matt said, as you get older, you'll have more realistic expectations of how your hair transplant results will be. While we're in our 20s we want our hair to look like our teenage years which isn't going to happen

Yep, the internet is full of paid Fin marketers - hence KZfaq, reddit etc is spammed with these people telling everyone to 'get on fin'. I had a hair transplant 8 years ago and it still looks great. No meds, no minoxidil, just a healthy lifestyle.

serious? I did it 1 month ago (only 5,500 follicles in front) I'm not using finaateride or dutaateride, just minoxidil but I'm worried about the result...

Why? Hair systems are so good nowadays you can't tell the difference if you don't know one's wearing it.

@@atis5565 I know they look great, but the cost and maintenance is not worth it imo. And even if it was worth it, I'd feel like I was hiding lol. At least with a transplant it's still your own hair.

@@FadiQv I'd be fine with having one personally, but I do things that would stress me. I.e. MMA, basketball, etc. I'd be so worried about something happening

I always wondered this. Not sure the Answer to it tbh. Or even your pubes,😂

Becouse 3-6 out of 10 hairs will maybe grow out. You need to have a lot of money to manage it.

A wig

You'll probably stay at NW3 for the rest of your life. It looks like you're genetically predisposed to reach NW3 and you've lost all your hair sensitive to DHT.

@@atis5565 thank you for the reply, what is DHT?

@@otreborfashionscene5986 a product of conversion from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. DHT leads to hair loss in some areas when it binds to androgen receptor in genetically predisposed hairs.

@@atis5565 Thank you

Topical 025% Finasteride is almost just as effective as 1mg orally, but lowers less DHT (only about 30%). But even with the 1 mg oral dose, virtually no one gets side effects. Only a few percent do.

@@hunisarkany3039 you're wrong mate. Studies show otherwise. The transplanted hair will be fine for life. But the existing hair needs finasteride or it will die. Do your research before being rude.

@@FadiQv it is a problem if you do the transplant before 25.

go somewhere else, or lie about age

@@derekporter66 I doubt you can just lie about the age haha. They probably check your ID?

You're not balding at the crown and on the scalp yet, but you probably will. Diffuse thinning like Matt has is not the norm. Usually your hair remains thick for a while until MPB rapidly starts targeting it.

Are you using anything to stop it?

@@ViktorM1 No, just used minoxidil before but no effects and itchy, flaky skin.

I am on it mixed with minoxidil I apply only a microdose of 0.2 mg per aplication 3 times a week, only 2 months on it, so no results that I can see

I tried topical for 6 months. It was a liposomal 2.5% solution form a pharmacy. I also tried hydroalcoholic 0.025% solution. For me oral finasteride is more practical. The topical ones worked for me too as well as the oral one which I am currently taking.

You think? Evrytime doing that system on. Pay evry month 150 -200 dollar. Be carefull with washing the hair, sun and other things that can damage the hair. Cant feel your own skin and hot in the summers.

@@eressant3019 Well yeah but they dont leave scars, are reversible, your results are guaranteed, you can have dense hair on your head again, you don't have to take medication for 60 years etc

But yeah they aren't perfect at all. Hair transplants are absolute bullshit, which cosmetic procedure requires that you take medication forever and leave you scarred to show everyone that your attempt has failed lol, they are for 45 year old men with nw3 like Jürgen Klopp

@@razor19906 wholeheartedly agree with you man. I didn't stop. I kept taking the finasteride and eventually after a week or so, was fine. I think it was anxiety / placebo related. The spots on my face however I think is related to fin though

No it isn't propecia is expensive you can buy generic finasteride for much cheaper which is just the same thing.

And if you notice any sides : those will go away after about 1 or 2 months with continued use of the drug. You get sides only at the beginning with finasteride, not later on.
