What am I on the Norwood scale and should I be concerned ? 25 yo male (Photo)

Question

25 year old male that has been on fin and Mi for the last 3 years. Not sure if my hairline has got any worse or better but I feel at this age it’s not a good sign for it to look like this

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

Hair loss has a lot to do with genetics, and we cannot go against genetics. 25 years old might seem too young for addressing hair loss but it is definitively not! I've seen patients as young as 20 years old. It seems like you have good hair density, we are definitively on time to stop further hair loss.

We have online consultations, we can design a treatment protocol specifically focused on your needs and concerns.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  I understand why you might be concerned about your hair but typically I advise patients your age to wait it out.  You are very young and are likely going to lose more hair.  If you go ahead with a transplant now you run the risk of depleting your donor area when you might need it later as you age.   Best of luck to you.
