There is a huge movement to using microneedling plus minoxidil for stimulating hair growth shown nicely in this man. I wish the photos were more comparable. Many young men are doing this themselves with a low cost (some pain with the microneedling).
If you have someone who is elder and needs help, here is an article sent to me to address this.

When you live far away from a senior loved one, it can be difficult to ensure they receive the care they need and that their emotional needs are met. For many people, trying to plan for a family member from afar is stressful and comes with feelings of guilt because they can’t be there in person.
Fortunately, there are several simple things you can do to help make sure your senior loved one is well taken care of no matter where you live. Nowadays, technology makes it easier than ever to stay informed and maintain a presence in your family members’ lives, even from afar. For seniors who have health issues, mobility issues, or are ready to downsize their home so that they can age-in-place, this is imperative and can help you have more control over the situation.
Here are some of the best ways you can help your loved one.
Communicate with your family
If your family is scattered across the country, it may be hard to pin everyone down to share information and make decisions that will affect your loved one. Keep up communication as much as possible through email or by using an app like Skype so you can talk and see one another at the same time. Set up meetings to discuss any upcoming events or planning that needs to be done. Keeping everyone on the same page will ensure that the bulk of the work won’t fall on any one person’s shoulders.
Get organized…
I read a lot of your comments and the article on Mature hairlines you usually share. Would it be possible for you to check the situation with my hair? I pass the wrinkled forehead test, but my temples are really high.
Here is my forehead wrinkled:
This is a maturing hairline. It will go up much further still with some more corner recession until the entire hairline is one finger breadth above the highest crease in the center and a V-Shape as the hairline moves outward.
This is a disturbing article because it put a new risk for PRP, although very a very remote risk. The doctor may have entered one of the vessels that communicated through the skull into the brain. Although these connections are usually small, we have known that such connections exist. The post-treatment of necrosis also indicates that possibly too much PRP was injected into the scalp, enough to cause the necrosis, again an unusual happening. The stroke may have been related to the use of fat cells in the mixture with the PRP but the connections from the scalp to the brain are clearly known anatomical vessels. Two unusual complications, both rare, suggest that there is more to what happened than just a standard PRP treatment.

This could never be done with a hairline advancement surgery because only a hair transplant could have matched the original shape of the hairline she is known for. This woman is a successful model and continues that way.
I’ve taken fin for 4 years, thinking about getting a hair transplant soon.
But lately I’ve noticed some sexual side effects and am thinking about getting off it. Would it be possible to quit after the transplant or would that make my hair look really bad?
Hair loss is progressive, and you must continue taking the finasteride to slow down the progression of the genetic balding that caused the hair loss in the first place, that is, unless you are having side effects.
Saw this story and Im honestly worried about this the most. My mental state is very valuable to me. Can anyone give some insight?
There are reports in a few men taking finasteride that there are central nervous system problems with this drug. If that happens to you, you are best off stopping the drug and these symptoms go away.
The average Caucasian male loses 100 hairs per day at the age of 21 and regrows that same number of hairs. More than that is shedding.
Basically from what I’ve seen discussed, when people get hair transplants, they move hair from the sides/back of head to the top. This sometimes leads to scarring, so what people do is the keep the sides/back a bit longer to conceal it. If i were to get a hair transplant would I still be able to get skinfade haircuts like this or would I be required to keep the sides/back long due to scarring or any other reason
The answer to that question is: (1) depends upon your donor density, the higher it is, the less the problem, (2) it depends upon hair thickness, the higher it is, the less the problem, (3) it depends upon how many FUE grafts were taken and transplanted and (4) it depends upon your hair length, the longer it is, the less will be the problem.
ive been on Fin for a couple months with great regrowth. 1 month ago i started noticing some scalp inflammation, and it got really bad last week. Although i couldnt see alot of hairshedding, some parts of my hair took a big hit, and thinned out really fast. Anyone know how long it will take to regrow after ive adressed the inflammation?
See your doctor. This is important to understand and get the right advice.

What is very significant is this statement: “human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days” so it is important to be aware of this and when you can clean a surface, follow the directions in this article.
I’ve been on finasteride for 3.5 years. Without it l would be fully bald by now (25) and it’s allowed me to keep a good amount of hair. Generally doesn’t look like l am suffering from hair loss. A bit thinner on the top but decent overall thickness.
I’ve had enough of taking the drug. I have come off it several times during those 3.5 years and l feel remarkably better off it. I feel more significantly more virile and energetic. When l take Fin my libido drops, brain is foggier and l just don’t feel as good. My face is rounder and less defined as well.
Are there alternatives to Fin that work?
Oral minoxidil is an alternative but considering that you have excellent results from finasteride, why mess with the results and risk loss?
I wonder what his age was in the balding photo. Most men who develop a Class 7 pattern have it before their 30, mostly before they are 26 years old. The picture on the left must be his high school picture. I have little doubt that men like Larry David confronted with extreme balding at an early age, are impacted in such a way that it changes their lives. Maybe he owes his talent development and his career to his balding, a positive spin on balding for him.
Here is a photo of what appears to be a single hair for grafting, but because it can be viewed with a high powered microscope, we see that there is at least one if not two telogen hairs present (see arrow). If this graft was put in the frontal hairline, then it would look pluggy. Does your surgeon use a high powered microscope to make sure that the hair transplant is done correctly?
Cow licks (actually called widow’s peaks when they are central) are actually remnants of your juvenile hairline. Many women think that they are attractive in men and in women–over half of them actually have some for of widow’s peak present. I wrote an article on this here: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/phenotype-article-published.pdf. There are some good photos of widow’s peaks in men and women in the article.
