This is a 21 year old male who used only finasteride and minoxidil with very nice reversal of the corner hair loss
This is a terrible design of a hair transplant, an upside down heard. No body balds this way so I can’t imagine what the person who did this had in mind. Add ot the terrible design is the cereal looking granular recipient sites. Again, I feel sorry for this patient.
This is another great result on a person who appears sensitive to both minoxidil and finasteride. Reversal is more common when hair loss was in the past couple of years.
This is a great result. I would hope that if you continue it you will keep the hair for a long time. What is really impressive is the according to the creases on your forehead, the hairline came back to its normal mature position which is what I would have done had I transplanted your hairline.
It is my best interest to continue with finasteride, Rogaine and microneedling however, I’m a bit concerned as to whether fin is losing efficiency or so. I am wanting to get a hair transplant in the nearby future. It is my intention to have the FUE procedure and have SMP to add to the density once the results had healed.
Thanks for writing to me. Your results from finasteride and microneedling are fantastic. At 20 years old, you have achieved the goal and I would continue to do all three (minoxidil, finasteride and microneedling once a week) with the hope that this will continue to improve your situation. At 20 there is no reason to do a hair transplant and if you are lucky and the finasteride and minoxidil with occasional microneedling holds on to your hair, you may not need a hair transplant for years to come.

This patient had an excellent reversal of his thinning in a Class 6 pattern of balding with just minoxidil and finasteride in just 5 months
What are the chances the regrowth I have from microneedling my scalp is “permanent”. I have diffuse thinning and microneedling has given me regrowth without any topicals.
I am fairly certain that these new hairs will not be permanent. They may last as long as a single hair cycle which is usually 2-3 years for the average young male. This is an educated guess, of course.
Yes, you have a very early recession developing with miniaturization of the hairs in the frontal hairline. This could be reversed with minoxidil, finasteride and possibly microneedling.
It is not unusual for the hairline to mature and lose the frontal 3/4 inch upward. I call this a maturing hairline but it is not always uniform and it can start in the center anytime between the ages of 18-29 years. This can also be a sign of genetic balding but your hairline looks flat and low. You should see a doctor to determine just where this is coming from. The doctor will perform both a HAIRCHECK test of your entire scalp and miniaturization studies of your frontal hairline.
Finasteride alone is not known to reverse hair loss generally speaking, but in this man we see reversal over a 17 month period of time
After 7 months on finasteride, minoxidil and using microneedling with good results only to get better over time
What is important to note, is that the top patient had wonderful medium weight hair and had a good shape and body to it while the bottom patient had super fine hair. We solve the see-through look with Scalp Micropigmentation
I am sure that this article will create a huge response from many forums that promote PFS and these patients giving them voices.

This man used finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling for 9 months and clearly increased the density of his forelock. His hairline did not return to normal so I wonder if he used the microneedling on the original hairline as well but that failed to regrow?
This could be for many reasons, poor surgical judgement, low donor density, too many grafts for his donor supply. He will have to live with this unless he gets Scalpmicropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/)
