I am 20. Should I get a hair transplant? (Photo)

CirIbra
Good morning , So i am 20 years old.I have been losing my hair since i was 13. I tried several medications,including minoxidil. And nothing has ever helped me to stop or reverse the process. I considered doing a hair transplant. I have contacted a clinic and they've told me i am not eligible due to my age. So being partially bald at this very young age is really hurting me psychologically so badly Are there any alternatives to reverse the process? Is finasteride safe ? Can it grow hair back ?
