Am I too far gone? Or do you think a HT might be viable for me? Only just started learning about finasteride / minoxidil and plan to start taking them. 31M
At 31, there are things you can try like microneedlng plus finasteride and minoxidil. Give it 6-9 months and if it doesn’t reverse, then let’s talk practical terms. You have a Class 7 pattern of balding. This is the most advanced pattern. You need to find a doctor who will try medications with you but also establish baselines for your donor supply if, in the future, you want a hair transplant and, therefore, find out if you are a real candidate. 98% of Turkey clinics will do a hair transplant for the money, even greater than 50% of American doctors, but are you a real candidate? That requires evaluating your lifetime donor supply, your donor hair mass calculated on individual hair thicknesses. If your donor area is healthy, I would be happy to help you if you can’t find a local hair expert by emailing me at williamrassman33@gmail.com.
