Hair Loss Forum

Well where to start im 20 and have been noticing my hairloss for 3/4 years now. My hairl is receeding from the temples and is seems to be getting worse at quite a fast rate.

I have been roaming around on help website looking to get a hair transplant. After hearing some good feedback with a particular company i contacted them regarding a hair transplant. I was told to wait untill my late 20's as early 20's will be too hard to judge the rate of hairloss. I was also asked if i was taking any treatment to prevent hairloss. This is where i need your help.

I have read up on 2 types of hairl loss treatments you can take finasteride and procipia. I have no idea the side effects on these or whether they will be of any use for receeding hair via the temple.

Can any body shed some light as to what i would need to take for best results and where to obtain the treatments from. Any advice please.

Hi Simon,

I can certainly appreciate how distressing this is given your age. There are treatments available for male hair loss, the two you mentioned are the same drug, Propecia being the brand name and Finasteride the generic name. Propecia was the the first oral tablet to be approved for male hair loss and Merck Sharp Dohme state that it gives visible results in 9 out of 10 men. Then there is Regaine (Minoxidil) foam or solution which works by increasing the blood supply to the hair follicles to strengthen existing hair and encourage new growth.

I would recommend trying www.medical-specialists.co.uk/male.php . They are an online pharmacy that have their own in house doctors and pharmacists that specialize in male hair loss, you can do an online consultation to make sure the medication is both safe and suitable for you and then have it delivered free of charge. Hope this helps, Chris

Hello there Simon,

It seems that you have posted two threads. But as what I have posted in your other post the best I could recommend to you is to consult first your doctor regarding the use of finasteride or Proscar as widely known of its brand. It is medically used in the treatment of BPH benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlargement of your prostate gland. Major side effects is impotence and decrease of sex drives. They are not actually proven to stop hair loss.
