This proves my point that young men (under 25 and especially under 20) have a higher benefit from taking finasteride than men over 25. Good job and stick to it and maybe you can avoid more hair loss for many years. The photo shows that the miniaturized hairs in the front seem to have become thicker ‘terminal hairs’ which are essentially normal growing hair.

This is a 19 year old who has been told by everyone in the family that he is not balding. He has coarse hair and is as curly as it gets, so this could hide any balding from the naked eye. We performed a HAIRCHECK and he was right, he has lost 1/3rd of his hair volume in the crown. From these pictures, it is easy to see why no one believed him, but he knew and I confirmed it today. He elected to take finasteride to treat what he now knows is balding.
You can see my progress on dut in my other post. Visited a dermatologist who prescribed me 2.5mg oral minox (perks of living in los angeles is that doctors take cosmetic concerns seriously) . will be taking it everyday, monitoring blood pressure weekly. Made this post because there isnt much info on oral minox on the internet. I will continue to update you guys in the coming months.

Take a careful look at the donor area as it is almost healed in just two days. That is because we use small instruments that facilitate fast healing. The recipient area is also clean of crusts which means that he will look completely normal possibly as early as the third day after FUE. People always want to know when they can go to work or when they will look normal. We always ask that they plan for one week but many times it is faster. The best part of our FUE procedure is that there is almost no pain after the surgery.
I’m young (19) and had perfect hair growing up. However, I have had trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) develop in my teens (symptom of OCD) and now I’ve lost a lot of my hair. It’s concealable but I plan on maybe getting a transplant (FUE?) done at some point as I grow older since I’ve beat my disorder and now am regrowing my hair. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do or results they got from a transplant ? Thank you.
My extensive experience with Trichotillomania is that most people really don’t quit and transplants just enter the cycle again with recurrence. You must build a relationship with a doctor like me in your area over time so that this problem can be eventually transplanted once you know for sure that the primary problem is solved.

These are the remnants of the scabs (crusts) that you did not wash off. They are now filling up with water and are elevated. They should easily wash off with a good shampoo and gentle rubbing with your fingertips. I never see this problem in our patients because we wash off the crusts the day of and the day after the surgery so that they never form.

In just two months, this young man stimulated early hair growth that can only get better over time. It is always amazing how quickly microneedling accelerates the growth process. Of course, we never would know if it would have grow without the microneedling, but with the huge number of men who presented these results, one has to believe that the three approaches (finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling) are intertwined.
