HI Doc,
Im a 20yr old male and have just noticed that my hair is thinning out and im losing it. My hairline has been reduced and in the middle and back ive lost a significant amount of hair too. I can see through my scalp now in many parts. Also, in the front you can see through my scalp and actually count the hairs that are in front! I look at my pictures from last year and even this summer and im seeing a huge difference! im really getting scared.
Im using rogaine now, started a week ago. I want to take propecia but been advised not to. i ve also looked in getting FUE or FUT! Please let me know what you think? And also do the hairs extacted from the donor area grwo back or not?
Thank you very much for this amaizng service!
Propecia is only for male patients treating male pattern baldness and it is the ideal drug to prevent or possibly reverse your hair loss.
I would say that you are too young to consider any type of hair transplant. At the very least, you should try the medications and then develop a Master Plan for your future with a good doctor. You need to be evaluated for miniaturization. I am the physician who helped shape the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure, which extracts 1 follicular unit at a time using special instruments leaving very minimal scarring. The hairs are moved from the donor area — so no, they can not grow back into the donor area.
