How Does Propecia Compare to a Hair Transplant?
Hair transplants give more follicles to areas of thinning or balding scalp. Propecia helps keep the follicles you have and encourage some to regrow....both are great solutions for hair loss.

Hair Transplant Vs. Propecia
Propecia and hair transplant are completely different methods of hair restoration. Both of them are effective, but Propecia is a DHT-inhibiting drug that prevents hair loss (only amid the vertex, not the hairline), while hair transplant replaces hair that has already been lost. Your choice between the two would depend on a great number of factors, including whether you want a temporary or permanent solution, whether you have hair loss at the hairline or crown, and how far your hair loss has...

Propecia versus Hair Transplant to Reverse Hair Loss
These are two totally different concepts. Propecia is a drug to slow hair loss and can occasionally grow some hair. A hair transplant is a definitive surgical procedure which replaces hair.

Propecia vs Hair Replacement Surgery
Hair replacement sugery, hair transplants and the Fleming-Mayer flap, are permanent, definitive solutions to the problem of hair loss. Although the topical application of Propecia is much easier than surgery, if this treatment is successful by slowing the progression of alopecia or stimulating growth in hair follicles that are not functioning, it must be used throughout life or the benefits are temporary.

Try propecia, then get a hair transplant
Why not talk to your doctor about propecia and try it. If it regrows your hair to your satisfaction, great! The majority of patients will seek further treatment options like hair transplant.

Propecia or hair transplant? Which is better?
Propecia can slow down the rate of hair loss and may occasionally cause visible hair regrowth. A hair transplant restores hair and density to the areas of loss, framing the face and providing a younger appearance. I often recommend hair transplant patients to use Propecia and minoxidil for improved and longer lasting results.

Reversing hair loss
Neither approach really reverses hair loss. Propecia can retard progressive hair loss throughout the scalp in perhaps as much as 90% of men. On rare occasions it may cause a visible regrowth. . However, the exception is not the rule. Surgery also does not stop hair loss, it only moves the existing hairs to a better area for styling. Concomitant use of Propecia can make a surgical result better.

Propecia is only for crown loss.
Propecia is only for crown loss. If no regrowth in 1 year in the crown it won't work. For all other loss it is either The Fleming-Mayer Flap or hair transplants. Both are discussed on our website.
