I’m 20 and thinking about a hair transplant
Hello, I am currently a 20 year old college student with a big hairline recession and also thinning hair. It is not that bad, but it is definitely something that is causing me a lot of anxiety and stress. I am entering my 6th month on finasteride and have been on and off minoxidil for about a year. I have not seen any progress and fear it is just getting worse. I really want to get a transplant but feel I may be too young. Any advice on when in life is best for this or if finasteride will eventually start working?
Don’t do a hair transplant until you are at least 25-6. At that time, your final pattern of balding will be evident, and you can build a personalized master plan with a good doctor for your future hair loss, which will continue to occur even at 26. Finasteride will slow, stop, or reverse the hair loss. It is not uncommon for reversal at age 20.
