Normal male hairline progression from a juvenile to a mature one typically occurs between 17 and 29 years of age. The lowest line in the photo below is the hairline this man had when he was about 12 years old. The second line is the hairline that will be his mature hairline if he is […]

Any 26 year old is at risk for shock hair loss after transplantation. Propecia (finasteride 1mg) is your best protection against it. What you already lost may be permanent, but the remaining hairs and all of the miniaturized hairs that are still present could be lost. What did the mapping of your scalp for miniaturization […]
There’s some information at these 2 links: Baldiness – NEOSH101 Successful in Phase 2a Trial ClinicalTrials.gov – Efficacy Study of Topical NEOSH101 to Treat Male Pattern Hair Loss This is a drug in early clinical trials. Time will be needed to see if its value is as significant as finasteride or minoxidil (this comparison with […]
If you had gynecomastia without the Propecia and it was successfully treated by surgical excision, the impacted target organ (the particular breast tissue that was the cause) is now gone, so I would be surprised to see you get it again from Propecia.
It is my belief that Propecia works in 100% of men your age. What I mean by “works” is that it will slow, stop, or reverse hair loss. As you have been taking it for only a month, it is far too early to judge just what your benefit is. Did you get your hair […]
Propecia will work even if you take it with whiskey (although if you take it in the morning and take it with whiskey, then you probably have an alcohol problem and not just a hair issue). Water, milk, or cola will do just fine.
Hair shedding is not one of the known side effects of Avodart (dutasteride). We know that Avodart can help to prevent hair loss, however this medication is not FDA approved for hair loss prevention. We know that most of the side effects of Avodart are significantly higher than Propecia (finasteride). The other problem with Avodart […]
When your hair thins, there is a greater tendency to get drying (best treated with a shampoo and conditioner for dry hair) and more sun exposure, which produces skin damage from UV light. Many people like Nioxin shampoo, and it’s worth a try. The company suggests that this shampoo has DHT blocking activities, but I […]
Everyone responds differently to Propecia (finasteride). Some people get great results rapidly, while other go the ‘slow route’. Usually, the better results (quicker) are seen in the younger man or the man who has had recent hair loss, more so in the crown than the front. The 8 month recommendation is a ‘catch-all’ recommendation, knowing […]
I realize I just posted something similar to this earlier today, but I generally recommend that you take Propecia in the morning, for that is when the testosterone level is highest and the drug levels are highest in the first few hours of taking it. The half life is 4 hours, so by evening, the […]
The site you sent does not contain balanced informational. Side effects are rare and are listed in the material supplied on Merck’s Propecia website. You can follow those that run in panic mode, or are critical for unsubstantiated reasons, or are the exception to the rule. As the reference piece is extensive, please write to […]
Morning is better. If you take it by 7am when your testosterone is highest, only 25% of the drug will be left in your blood stream, as the half life is 4 hours.
At two months, you can not draw any conclusions about the effectiveness of Propecia. You need 8-12 months. I only report what the drug company submitted to the FDA as the basis of my knowledge on this drug and the areas of effectiveness. When you talk about ‘temples’, many people believe that the temples are […]
I am very concerned that you had a hair restoration procedure at such a young age, especially in the crown area and many doctors including myself might think that this is not an approach that an ethical doctor would do. Of course I do not have the luxury to examine you in person, but surgery […]
In theory, you are correct. Nobody, however, really knows the real answer to the question on the dosing for Avodart (considering that it has a 5 week half life). The experience with Avodart is with older men (usually over 55) and the focus on sex is often less than in a 23 year old. There […]
