47 y/o and I was balding – WRassman,M.D. BaldingBlog


I am 45 years old, I’m unsure what exactly my hairless type is! I assume I’m diffuse thinning? About 4-5 years ago, I was (or looked) totally bald on top, I had a consultation, and the doctor said that when checking under a microscope he said my hair was miniaturized and recommended finasteride and minoxidil (Regaine). Unbelievably, I responded brilliantly, and the turnaround was phenomenal!  I responded so well that I forgot all about my hairless, with some fibres chucked in I looked like a bloody full head lol.

I changed my medication and lost ground.  I have now changed to oral min 2.5 mg and dutasteride daily (dropped the fin) as my hairloss suddenly returned about a year ago. I’m only 5 weeks into oral min and duta so hope that I respond again! If not is a transplant possible with my hair type?

You are unbelievably lucky. This is not the usual 47-year-old male.  A transplant without hair loss is not indicated.  Maybe sometime in the future, if the medications failed to work, a hair transplant would be considered if you had significant hair loss.
