Thanks for sharing about the young patient. It's very difficult to consider long term consequences when you're a teenager suffering at that age from insecurity. Everything these days is about appearance to young people and you can understand the desperation.
I would guess very few people would regret treating alopecia while a teenager, but more than half will regret not treating it. Taking dudasteride as a teenager does not cause infertility.
I had a transplant with Dr Knudsen today. At the end I walked out knowing I would have hair for the rest of my life, way more than I’ve had for years and this hair will really change my life in so many ways but generally I feel so happy about the future. In the future this type of surgery will be as common as dental surgery. I worked out that if I lived for 20 years the cost would be $2.74 a day, if I lived for 40 years it would be $1.37 a day. Who wouldn’t pay $1.37 to have a full head of hair ? Go for it guys, just do it and you’ll never look back.
Hair loss is the only thing that we say "manage" it like its only based on visual aesthetics alone. Hair loss is symbolic of an internal issue thats not only with the hair follicles but other organs. I break things like this down on my channel and help men get their high school hair line back.
@@njm1966 very good. I reduced it to a minimum about 0,1 g if I had to guess. At the beginning even some hair came back. If I would not have started 10 years ago I would be bold. I got nearly the same hairline as 10 years ago.
@@blackxYx thanks for replying, I also started finasteride in April so it's been 2 and a half months for me, had a very minor side effect of not getting it up as easy in first 2 weeks but that's completely gone now. I bought a micro needling pen however it feels very uncomfortable and I feel like I'm doing more harm so I stick to derma stamp once every 2 weeks
Speaking of long term management of MPB for young males: can you please discuss the use of Topical Finasteride and how it may lessen long term effects from Fin. while still managing MPB?
I’ve always had problems with depression and cripplingly low moods, and as I understand Fin and Dut can exacerbate or even cause these issues. I deliberated long and hard and decided to take the meds, because not doing anything when there is a simple thing that I could be doing is depressing in and of itself. Watching a part of my body, and a distinctive and attractive feature of mine wither is depressing on a few different levels. I am still depressed, I can’t say if I would be more or less so if I didn’t take the meds. I’m still concerned because I’m not certain that it’s working, but at least I’m trying something and it’s giving me hope.
just take 0.5mg fin daily and don't think for 6 months you'll thank me also pray for me brother and you ow me 1000€ if it works ok😊 take it at your own risk
Hello, thanks for all this informations , please doctor I need help am 32 years old man I started using topical minoxidil 5 , for 6 months now twice a day the hair loss stopped and everything ok but I have excess of hair in my body and face my eyebrows thickens and i have hair in my front and i feel like my skin aging . what should I do please if you can make a video of those side effects
I’ve been on minoxidil since 17 and finesteride since 18 I’m turning 20 in a few days. I haven’t seen any progress, if anything my hair has gotten worse through the last few years. I want to get a transplant but idk when I should do it. I want to do it right now but would this be problematic?
I love your show and I have watched all your videos! You stressed that Finasteride gets stored in the body over time. Hence the following question: after having taken Finasteride for a full year (3mg/week), can I reduce the dosage for maintenance (for instance, 1.5mg/week) without loosing ground? Thanks.
No; he started to take medications at 18, got a hair transplant at 20 (after having to beg for it dr. Russels multiple times, whom advised him against it), then stop to take the medications some 10 years later because he stopped to care about his hair
@@pizza4stagioni I really don't buy the "stopping taking finasteride because you just don't care anymore" part. You can stop caring, ok, but for the love of God, you've had a transplant and it's just one pill a day.
I started to take finasteride as soon as I turned 18, It slowed my hairloss. I'm 19 now and not happy with my results. I've been still losing my hair. Should I try dutasteride? I've seen three different dermotologists now and all three have been hesitate to off-label prescribe me dutasteride. Should I try to get a prescription or just throw in the towel?
Is it always necessary to use medical supplementation (topical minoxidil/finasteride) after hair transplant to maintain the post transplant hair lines and graft? Because i think that some patients choose to transplant because of being sick of using medical treatment everyday. Are there cases in which further supplementation is not necessary?
I am 19 years old. Since I was 15, I’ve been thinning out little by little. The trichologist yesterday prescribed me to take dutaxeride 0.5 mg every day. I would like to know how it affects health, especially the health of a still growing organism. sometimes there were comments on a passage, which was bad, but there was no complete picture.
I was put on 5mg Fin just before I left for university and had severe side effects. Please proceed with caution. It should be noted I had very mild male pattern baldness.
Iam using minoxidl for 6 months now just because I want to elongate my hair I don't have any other problem how I can stop it now ..and how long we should stop it before pregnancy
Hello doctor, i am in 1 mg per day finasteride from 2 months, no sides but my hair getting worsening my shedding getting worse...before finasteride my scalp was not noticeble but now my scalp is noticble and i am worried will i go bald in just shedding....i am so cnfuse whether to continue or stop...dont wanna go bald age 28😢 and if i go 1 mg alternate days will my condtion get better?
a shedding phase after a few months on finasteride or minoxidil is common. google "finasteride shedding". its actually a good sign and is an indicator for regrowth
It's actually a good signs - at the first year there are at least 2 shedding phases - and after each one expect better hair! this is a slow process that takes time - at least a year!
Actually shedding is so heavy that i fear that shedding itself makes me bald...I don't wanna look bald between shedding and new growth..that's what i fear
If i stop Fin after using it for 10 years , does it completely reverse what i have maintained for 10 years within 1 -2 years of quitting, like minoxidil? Or is it like using tretinoin for skin ,that you might lose some progress, but it will be still better than before tretinoin use ?
Unfortunately It’ll completely reverse and get much worse. Basically you will bald rapidly until reaching where you would have been without treatment. All we can do is keep the wolf on the other side of the door with medicine. Once you open it, he’ll pounce.
Theres no cure if your trying to build muscle and go on supplements, but if you want weak muscles and low libido and have feminine qualities then give it a shot at battling hair loss , im 39 and been battling since 15 i give up
Hey. I currently use topical fin & min... and I saw an option to add Tretinoin to the mix. can you please talk what are the benefits of that? there is any chances of making some sideffects appear? I used minoxidil only at first but it didn't work so i switched to the mix and it works much better, but i dont know if the minoxid doing something..

You’re committed though. Not everyone can take on that level of responsibility. So, like they said, better to use other options first.
Which medication(s) are usually recommended for an 18 year old? Finasteride pills? Minoxidil pills? Both?
Finastrid to stop the loss, minoxidil to increase growth. You can do fin without minox, but there isnt any point in doing minox without fin
@@jonasjorgensen8759 Thanks! Does anyone know the youngest age that finasteride can be started?
@@jonasjorgensen8759wrong

don’t hop on finasteride that shii1t have to many side effects. If you want to use then 1.5mg fin per week would be better with lower side effects
