    Yes but only if you are on finasteride. Unless you are like 40 or 50 when you get a transplant. Depending on the doctor the transplant may cost 15k. Yes, I recommend finasteride for you. Your hairline looks too high.

    Post finasteride study (2013)

    it's just a study meant to help inform people who believe they have post finasteride syndrome. I always recommend finasteride to anyone who is distressed by hair loss, both on the forums and in real life. and I also agree with the advise in studies that side effects should NOT be a deciding factor in the...

    hair transplant appointment

    It sounds correct. The issue is density. Your hair behind your hairline is dense. So your new hair line needs to be dense to look normal and natural. Do you take Finasteride?

    Higher Dose of finasteride or Dusteride?

    From my experience - i recommend 2.5 mg finasteride, cut from 5 mg finasteride tablets. This is why: I was on 1 mg finasteride and had some results. i switched to dutasteride 0.5 mg because i wanted more. But on dutasteride my hair started going back to the way it was pre-finasteride which was - positive pull test...

    the study that found finasteride to have a flat high bioavailablity (80%) is wrong (1). finasteride can have low oral bioavailability (range 34 - 108%) (2). I'm pretty sure i have seen another study state 22% as the low end, but i can not find it. 1.Pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability...
