19 years old and balding, In need of help and advice

Post by bingo296 » Tue Sep 18, 2012 12:57 am

I started balding when I was 17, I've been on Procerin for a year and I just turned 19 two days ago. I feel like it's time for a change, the Procerin does not suffice anymore. I'm not sure what to do about my hair loss, should I jump straight into the Big 3, or does anybody have an idea for an alternative? I have had some success on the Procerin, it has definitely slowed my hair loss down (from 80 hairs daily to 20), however it is no longer enough. My pics show the current state of my hair. I'm mostly losing hair in the middle of my scalp with a little temporal recession (zero crown hair loss). Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, it's not fun balding at such a young age.

Hey, I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'the big 3', but you should definitely use minoxidil without a doubt! You may continue with Procerin to help keep dht levels down.

I noticed hair loss at a young age and was into using products such as Rogaine and Minoxidil. However I never really noticed a great improvement whilst on either of these products, and decided to come off of them, as they were costly and not successful.
I saw further hair loss after doing so. My GP said that this was due to the Rogaine / Minoxidil - as it just stunted growth for the moment, but as it isnt a long term answer it just made things worse.
Would you consider a hair system / wig / topper?

Use propecia, propecia is successful therapy for inherited hair loss for men. No prescription needed, approved pharmacy.

Yes you could. But you are young, I'm not so sure propecia is advisable at your age.

The best thing that you can do is see a dermatologist to evaluate the cause of the hair loss. There are many causes of hair loss other than male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), and a dermatologist is an expert in diseases of the skin, hair and nails and use bio hair treatment and biotin capsules and use natural product
