Hi all, I'm a 24 years old guys, i have thin hair, i just cutted them short for valutate what i can do and how bad is the situation..

In my case it's a genetic problem, my father had done 3 transplant 15 years ago and now he looks not so good..
I'm not sure if I would or not to do a transplant if i will go to lose my hair, but I send this decision to the future, after saved some money for do it.

Today I went to the doctor (dermatologist), and he told sincerily to me about the few options in these cases.
He prescribed me Minoxidil 4% (twice a day 2ml), 1mg of Proscar (once a day) and Diathynil ( B7 vitamin, only for 30 days).

After some advices he told me that:

"If you, after a period with Minoxidil and Proscar will stop the cure, you will lose the hair faster then now without the cure.."
And this really shocked me!
I'm not sure if I want or not to start, it seems to me as to send the problem in the future, without fix it..
Before to start I want to listen your voice, of who has spent a period of his life with this cure..
Please give me an advice..:sad:

Thanks in advance and have a nice day everybody!
Sorry for any mistake with the language, but i'm trying to improve my english..:turned:

That's bull****. You will lose the hair you would have lost without meds, that's all.
Take finasteride (propecia, proscar) for now, keep your hair, new treatments are on their way. Always keep in mind that it's a lot easier to maintain what you have than to regrow what you've lost if you wait too long.

it does fix it, as long as you keep taking the stuff. 85% of users maintain what they have or regrow over the longterm (5+, 10+ years, or even life). If you decide to stop taking the drugs you will lose hair as before. You will not lose it faster after stopping than you would have lost it before


I recommend you take both, especially finasteride
