Should I get a hair transplant soon since I'm norwood 3 at age 20? (Photo)

February 3, 2020
Asked By:zm890 in London, GB

I'm 20 years old and I've had enough of my hair loss I'm still losing hair and its got me really stressed out. I'm a clear Norwood 3 and I'd love to get a hair transplant I know I'm young but its unfair to wait such a long time. I know I will continue to lose hair my family history is around a Norwood 5-6 but going on finasteride isn't worth it for me due to the side effects. What do you think I should do?

Do Halo (and other lasers) thin the skin and therefore cause you to age faster long-term, in exchange for the short-term result?
Rebecca Gelber, MD says:

Actually, just the opposite. There is now >20 year data on BBL and I had the very first Halo prototype from 12/14 - the patients who do these treatments 2-4 times per year look younger when they started, both in pictures and on biopsy and also have thicker skin with more collagen and elasticity....
