The pictures show nice filling in hair behind the hairline. It may still get better in the next year if you keep it up.

Amazing and complete reversal of frontal thinning on oral minoxidil. About 40+ percent of patients may be candidates for this drug.

Have you seen first sign of improvement on Finasteride after one year?

This is not uncommon. Sometimes just slowing the hair loss is hard to notice, but if, while taking finasteride, your biological hair loss activity slows down, then the finasteride may become more effective. This might explain why you see improvement appearing at one year after starting the drug. This drug, in sensitive men, can give reversal of hair loss especially in the young men under 25 or even 30. It works better in the crown than on the frontal areas.

Thanks for lifting your eyebrows and allowing your forehead to show the creases. 1.5 months is too early to see results but there are small hairs on the left side which appear stronger than they were in the before picture so this is a hopeful sign.

This is an amazing reversal of the hair loss in a young man who kept to a good plan. He is going to have to keep it up to maintain this achievement. The microneedling may or may not be critical to the maintenance program.

I have been taking minoxidil 5% on my hairline for 1 year and I wanted to ask you if you think that adding finasteride will help grow more hair?

Adding finasteride will only add potentially more benefit. What you already got from minoxidil over one year is remarkable and unusual.

This is a fantastic result from the combination of minoxidil and dermarolling with just one year of treatment

It appears that this man actually grew back his hair, something that is not very common with finasteride

I don’t see the results from 3000 grafts suggesting a failure of the grafts to grow. The number one cause of this is a technical failure of the team performing the surgery. If you went to a good doctor, go back and discuss this with that doctor. If you purchased on price alone and the doctor is unavailable, the number one problem is that you have depleted your precious donor hair and may have hit the limit to FUEs done for the donor area having to switch to a strip surgery, so in that case, you need to see a real expert in this field?
