You need your donor area examined with a video microscope and get a hair count and a measurement of the thickness of your hair. You want to make sure that you don’t have DUPA which can be diagnosed with the hand microscope. If you want to know your original donor density and your Hair Mass Index along with your total available donor graft supply for your lifetime, see an expert in the field.
What can be accomplished for someone with that low of a donor density and finer hair though? Especially if they’re like a NW7. Have you ever had such a patient with satisfactory results? I’ve seen your results on some NW7 patients and they are brilliant. But don’t those guys have a higher than average donor density?
Take a look at the second man in this post. He had super fine hair and had a Class 7 pattern. What we couldn’t get with hair, we got with SMP. Of course, in this situation, I would want to examine you in advance and make sure that you understood the risks and balanced your expectations with reality. I have found that men with fine hair generally understand that their hair is not great, so that they expect less but still can get good results as shown in man #s here: https://baldingblog.com/two-class-7-patients-treated-with-hair-transplants-and-smp/
I took a half dose 0.5 mg fin for 3 months along with dermapen every two week and nizoral twice a week and these are my pictures.
Nice early results
I took propecia from 2010-2015 with no crazy side effects, but got off it when recovering from a concussion. I held onto most of my hair that I regrew for about 3 years. Now it’s starting to go really fast. If I have already taken propecia years ago, is there any reason to believe I’d get sides now? Does generic make a difference?
The generic should be no different if it is not fake. Your previous experience should be the same now
Researchers have found that a molecule called «oncostatin m» is what keeps the hair follicles in a dormant stage.
Vixarelimab is a drug that is supposed to be used for a skin condition called Prurigo nodularis. It is a oncostatin m receptor blocker. My theory is that this drug can block the oncostatin m molecule which comes from JAK-stat5 signalling. And thus it may «wake up» the dormant hair follicles.
Oncostatin M blockade with vixarelimab were supposedly well tolerated and no adverse effects were found under clinical trials.
I generally agree with this analysis; however, I believe that for men with an advanced balding pattern and a finer hair and particularly those with a lower than average donor density (which includes a lot of Asian men), the FUT is a superior procedure because it avoids the moth eaten appearance which is inevitable with FUE.
Does masturbating somehow effect finasteride effect? I had my med school exam around the time I started using finasteride and I was masturbating everyday to release stress. I have been on finasteride for six months now and my hair fall hasn’t slowed down
Masturbating is a healthy release! Finasteride is good for hair loss. I am sure that the stress from your examinations added to the hair loss process. The two are not related.
Dad is bald at 68 but I he had most of his hair at 30 I think
Eldest brother at 31 is balding at the back but barely any hair loss, don’t think his temples are bad but would never notice
Next brother at 28 shaved his head
Next one at 25 shaved his head
Next one at 22 has significant hair loss noticeable when he puts his hair up
What are my chances? It is supposed to be a 50/50 on the mom’s chromosomes yeah?
Please god help me as this is ruining me
If you are 16, you won’t know yet. As you get closer to 21, you might see some balding changes. By the time you are 26, you will know. If you want to know in advance of what you see, connect with a doctor who has a HARICHECK instrument (https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/) and have your hair measured yearly which will pick up early balding before you can see it.

“All three studies demonstrated that finasteride treatment led to a significant improvement in hair growth and slowing of further hair loss progression”. These studies included 1879 men ages 18-41
Hair definitely makes a difference in the way his image is projected. A good hair transplant is what he must have had.
The pictures show a reversal of the finasteride with an almost perfect hairline that is obvious in the photos
The pictures speak for great results from your use of finasteride and minoxidil. I would expect even better filling on the corners in a few more months.
Hair lengthening/thickening in arms, legs, eyebrows, and even ears. Is this because of DHT, or minoxidil? I am NOT on Fin.
This shows rapid progress after the use of minoxidil and finasteride in a young man in just 3 months. Imagine who will happen in another 3-4 months.
How long after a hair has been shed should you see the regrowth come through? Is telogen effluvium common in men or is it nearly always MPB? Is fin useful to prevent hair shedding?
Some simple answers: (1) telegen effluvium is rare in men, (2) young men with hair loss usually have male pattern balding and (3) finasteride is not useful in telogen effluvium. Please, for your future hair health and looks, seen a competent expert in the hair field.
