Thank you for your question. You’re 21-years-old and describe you’ve been suffering pattern baldness for the past 2 years. You state that your physician prescribed finasteride and Minoxidil for the last year, and you used it for 3 months and the results were encouraging. You’ve used the medicine for one month and you feel that the medicine has weakened your hair. I would say as a specialist who has been treating hair loss for many years through transplantation and as creator of TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration using stem cell based technology for hair loss, there are some questions raised when I reviewed your history. Is it fair to assume that you stopped using the drug after 3 months although it was working? This is implied by you stating that you used it for a month more recently. As someone who is 21 who’s losing hair since the age of 19, in my practice I would define you based on our experience as highly DHT-sensitive. In situations like yours, it is recommended that you be on finasteride, and be on it regularly. It is not likely that finasteride or minoxidil made your hair worse. It is more likely that your hair loss genetically is very aggressive, and that your hair loss is still continuing to progress. I recommend you discuss with your doctor the option of taking finasteride and minoxidiI. My observations have been that finasteride can help with some hair regrowth. However, when we use our treatment TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration, we see much significant improvement on patients who have been on finasteride for many years, so after treatment, their hair has significant benefit. I recommend you watch the video that I’ve linked in this answer so you can get some additional information and learn more about the options you have that include continuing on finasteride and minoxidil, and regenerative medicine technology for hair treatment. Thank you for your question.
