Month: January 2023

I first started noticing my very fine hair was thinning around 5 years ago. I’ve struggled with depression for a long time so I never did much about it, just accepted my fate I suppose. I should also note that I had a thyroidectomy in 2010 due to thyroid cancer.

My mom has very, very thin hair, there’s not much left on her head. She’s 58. I take this as a sign that my problem is genetic.

Well my hair is to the point that I am embarrassed to show it in public. It’s super obvious. I have thin patches on the back of my head and some on the sides, plus right at my hairline, all up by my crown. I’ve decided to actually do something about it. So I started with Rogaine about a month ago. I saw a dermatologist who said he’s ‘never seen anything like it, its unheard of’ (my hairloss), I really didn’t like his bedside manner and didn’t feel comfortable with him. He said to do Rogaine, Biotin, and a Hairmax laser (which is out of my price range). Is it worth it to get a second opinion? I’m discouraged by my first experience but I would like some answers to the cause of my hairloss.

I wrote this on female hair loss and you should read it will give you a good guide through the doctoring process. https://baldingblog.com/female-patterned-hair-loss-fphl-diagnosis-made-biopsy-no-solution-hair-loss-losing-200-hairsday/ . If your mom lost much of her hair, then you need to consider Scalp Micropigmentation which might work for your mom and maybe even for you if you can’t find a cause for your hair loss (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/smp-for-women/)

Hairline lowering procedures should not be performed on men because hairline recession is progressive and the scar from the procedure will eventually show up making the surgery evident to everyone, You will need a hair transplant to cover the scar and lower the hairline more appropriately.

Amazing results for just three years. Just keep your fingers crossed that these results stay over time. This man is now 30 years old.

The photos tell the story. He maintained and even improved the hairline over the 3 years on the drug finasteride

Nice return of your more youthful hairline, Congrats

This man took finasteride for 3 years and has a wonderful full restoration of his original mature hairline

Age 42, he want on minoxidil and finasteride 3 years ago and look at the dramatic change

There is nothing as good as keeping to a plan daily to get great results like this result.

The changes you are seeing may be more styling and product application than reality; however, there is a suggestion of new hair growth seen in the photos. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your photos in about 6 months.
