Answer: Thinning Hair -- Rogaine, Propecia, Viviscal, Progesterone, PRP Thinning Hair -- Rogaine, Propecia, Viviscal, Progesterone, PRPIf you have thinning hair you really need an evaluation to see if it is genetic or from another cause like stress or autoimmune. If it is determined to be genetic there are many options and traditional treatments like rogaine foam and propecia pills can be used. I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and prp to the scalp. Postmenopausal women also benefit from spironolactone. I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Balding at a Young Age Your hair loss is currently class 5 on the Norwood scale and it is likely to progress. Family history of hair loss from both sides of family can be of predictive value. A medical rather than a surgical approach is very important for you at this stage. Finasteride is very effective in the crown area as long as hair loss is treated earlier rather than later. Occasionally, I see some patients have improvement all over rather than just the crown area. Once the crown area is completely bald finasteride does not work nearly as well, so the earlier the better. Rogaine, which is minoxidil also is helpful but not nearly as effective as finasteride. You should stop smoking if you area smoker. Eat a clean, chemical free diet as possible as this effects overall hair thinning. Seeing a dermatologist to rule out other aggravating conditions may be of benefit.

Answer: Hairloss Hello, you have a fair amount of hair loss for your age. It appears you are headed to a Norwood Type 6 or 7. Assuming this is male pattern hair loss, as it appears, I would strongly consider Finasteride and Minoxidil as your first line treatment. You might also consider a laser cap and perhaps PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy at some point. I would urge you not to consider any type of hair transplant surgery at this time. It will not serve you well in the future.
