Should I Try Rogaine?

Hello Sir,

My age is 23 and like many people around the world i am also very much worried about my receding hair line (from the centre of my crown till my temple ). The density of my hair has become very less from past one and half years after i started to work for a call centre. Most call centre jobs in India are out sourced, which means i work mostly at night.

I do have read a lot of blogs on your wonderful website about hair loss and treatment. But i really wanted to know whether is it okay if i start using minoxidil for retaining my remaining hair or you would suggest me to visit a trychologist and then get the prescribed medication.

Also can a hair transplant will show the same density as normal hair..after the transplnt has been done..

thank you

If you are balding at 23, you should buy finasteride and take 1mg of this drug daily. In India, there are generic versions of this drug on the market and this is the best drug to stop, slow down, or reverse early hair loss in a young balding man. I can’t vouch for the authenticity of the generic versions available though. Minoxidil (Rogaine) is not the best first choice for a drug in a young man, as it is not reliable and it does not block the balding process from happening. Transplants should not be considered unless after a year on finasteride you still show significant balding. Doctor selection is a real problem in most countries, and I am sure that a trip to the United States may be out of the question, but take great care in selecting a doctor there for hair transplants.
