You are doing ok at this point and at 6 months you still have another 2 months to see 80% of the growth to styling length of about 1 1/2 inches. Be patient and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.

This is an amazing result from finasteride alone. I don’ believe that I ever saw such remarkable growth in just 9 months.

Hi Dr.
I’m a 20 year old male and a type 1 diabetic. I’ve been type 1 for 5 years since 15. Since diagnosis, I have never taken care of myself, at all! my blood sugars were terrible for 5 years (denial of diabetes) and my hair is receding also.

I was wondering if constant bad blood sugars would cause hair loss?

The most important thing here is to take care of yourself.

At 20 years old, it wouldn’t be surprising if your genes were just as responsible for your hair loss as your diabetes. In other words, you could very well have diabetes along with genetic hair loss. Diabetes is a systemic disease and it can impact all parts of your body if you leave it untreated. See a good hair doctor so that you can find out what is going to happen to your hair and what you are going to do about it.

He asked me if I knew how he selected me as his surgeon some 20 years ago, so when I said no, he went on to tell me the answer. The day he came to my office, he recognized two of the most famous producers in Hollywood sitting in my lobby. He knew that I would then be his surgeon, a decision he never forgot. He had two surgeries with me totally 4025 grafts. He send on his four best friends to see me as well. The hair they got from me makes them happy today, 20 years later. I tell my patients that you don’t want to take chances with results, because when happens to you everyone will see for the rest of your life. You don’t want to (1) have it failed to have it redone, (2) to have it done poorly so that others can tell you had a hair transplant, (3) have it done without a future plan so that as the genetic hair loss progresses, you don’t have enough hair left to follow the loss as you get older. His before and surgical pictures are show here as well

This patient came in today to ask for Scalp Micropigmentation to make his hair appear thicker. It was a pleasure seeing him today. He still remembered the upbeat environment that the surgery was performed in 22 years ago! In addition, he sent a friend after he had it done.

This patient had some old plugs prior to meeting me which I camouflaged at the time of the 1993 surgery with great success. We discussed the ‘standard of care’ for hair transplants at that time and I may have been one of the few doctor who did not perform plugs then (I never performed plugs), something that he knew and appreciated. Today, we still see patients with the old plugs and I love to help them deal with it. After he has his Scalp Micropitmentation done, I will share his ‘after’ picture with you.

So, let’s say my maternal grandfather never went bald (His hair is white and thinning at age 75+, but had good hair most of his adulthood), but my maternal uncle is bald at 40+. My dad’s side all have decent hair. His hair is a little thin now as he is just as old as my maternal grandfather, but still enough that he still needs to get a haircut sometimes. What are my chances of going bald if my maternal uncle is balding but not my maternal grandfather? I have inherited my dad’s hairy body, but I’m not sure about testosterone sensitivity on the scalp.

There is no way to determine your risks of inheriting the balding genes.
