Help! Looking For Some Advice And Shared Experience On My Receding Hairline

[lewismmmm]

Right then fellers, some input of your opinions/experience/solutions much appreciated on my current situation as it’s really getting to me! Some background info first:


26 years old


Started 0.25mg (getting my body used to it) finasteride about 3 weeks ago - no side effects as of yet


Don’t want minoxidil - just not my thing and hear mix reviews on it


Eat very well(pescatarian) and always researching on ways to improve my diet further to prevent DHT/ increase circulation of blood etc


Work out alot and rarely smoke or drink


Fathers side are quite genetically bald so it seems but out of 5 brothers of my dads him and 3 other brothers have gone bald by about mid 30’s or so


Hair is quite thick like but as you can see I’m heavily receding now.


Much appreciate some advice from other lads my age or older and younger. Not great loosing hair at this age like and in two minds about a hair transplant to cover these spots now, or do I just hold out and see how finasteride gets on and then consider in a year or so?

See where you are in a year. You're doing pretty much everything you can apart from minoxidil.

Thanks for the reply - hopefully finasteride can halt it any further. I’d be happy with that for a good few years!

I can't tolerate minoxidil as well - lots of side effects.
try microneedling

I’ll try this, I have seen this in a few people’s regimen. Do you use one yourself? What micro needle is it you use? thanks for your time

the "standard" seems to be 1.5mm every 2 weeks but there are cases like chen who got insane regrowth but doing it daily.
so it's still somewhat unexplored territory, you need to review the posts.
A6 Dr. Pen. be very careful with potential infections.
