I am like Norwood scale 6 or 7. 10 months ago (October 2018) I started using Minoxidil 5% twice daily. In last 10 months I started to get very thin baby hair very slowly. Now I’m wondering what shall I do? Go for a hair transplant or keep continue to use Minoxidil to see how it turns out in another 8 to 12 months. Please see photos attached. Would appreciate everyone’s valuable opinion.
Answer: Minoxidil or Transplant Your hair loss stage has progressed to an advanced stage. It appears the minoxidil has promoted the hair follicles to grow fine, stunted hairs. It is unlikely taking your hair loss pattern along with the time frame these hairs will mature into anything more than you see today. A hair transplant moves hair from what should be a genetically safe hair zone. Not affected by the male pattern baldness gene. To the area of hair loss. Your hair characteristics need to be able to sustain a natural result from one or more hair transplant procedures. This requires planning. Your next step should be to visit a specialist for your hair characteristics to be measured against your goals and expectations in undergoing a hair transplant.

Answer: Minoxidil or hair transplant? Hello, thank you fo the great question. Minoxidil alone isn’t going to be enough for you. A transplant could be possible depending on if you have enough donor area. You’ll need to see a hair loss expert to determine what is the best path forward for you. I wish you the best of luck.
