19 year old wants a hair transplant but there are problems
This young man saw me one year ago and I put him on the drug finasteride to slow down and possibly reverse the hair loss he had then. Usually, the drug often reverses hair loss in 18 year olds, but the degree of balding that he has now and the degree of balding he had one year ago suggested that his genetic balding is very aggressive. Today, one year later, he had lost more hair and continues to do so at the present time. I examined him and found that he has a coarse hair, a very low donor density (30% under average) and early signs of DUPA (Diffulse Unpatterned Alopecia). He will eventually develop a Class 6 balding pattern (shown below) possibly in the next few years.
I suggested that he have Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/) and mimic many of the men on this website. I told him that all is not bleak. Scalp Micropigmentation is a great solution and it allows him to forget about his hair for his entire future and go on living his life not thinking about his hair loss.
Here is a picture of his situation as well as a schematic of what he will eventually look like in the next few years.
