This is a young man 22 years of age, with recent loss of the corner hairline on both sides. Men of this age are generally very responsive to drugs and microneedling

 

 

This man took minoxidil, finasteride and used microneedling to improve the balding on his crown

The picture is worth 1000 words so that there is little I can say other than compliment this man for staying the line. Whatever you do, just don’t stop the finasteride as you will lose it and go back at least to where you were when you started.

4 months on minoxidil and microneedling with good initial results. I will be curious on how long it will last. Are you going to stop doing the microneedling and just continue with the minoxidil? You should probably continue the microneedling at least a few times each year.

 

Fantastic restoration of your hair line. Good job!

As you get older your testosterone drops along with the DHT and then the finasteride is often less effective as you get older. What hair you have has stood the test of time which is an indication that much of it might stay; however without seeing you, I can’t make such a judgment.

The nice reversal of corner hair loss. Thanks for sharing

This 40-year-old male reversed his hairline recession with minoxidil 6%, 0.3% finasteride topical solution as well as microneedling. I suspect that without the microneedling, he would have had no response. Microneedling is a fantastic treatment for almost any age man with balding. The problem with microneedling is “Will it last” and if so, how long without continuing the process.

It is always interesting to know that you are not alone when you are worried about hair loss. You are fortunate that you are in 2020 when the art of the hair transplants is as good as the natural hair growing normally. Had you done it 30 years ago, you would not have been so lucky like Joe Biden (had plugs that were fixed) or Donald Trump (who had a scalp reduction and now is probably bald with a good hair system).

See if you can tell who had hair transplants and who has a hair system from this list: https://www.buzzfeed.com/kimberleydadds/42-celebrity-men-who-are-less-bald-than-they-used-to-be
