Me With A Bald Head - How Does It Look?

Simar@:
Thanks a lot! : )

Over 10 years.

My dermatologist said that if finasteride gets you over 8-10 years, then the likelyhood of maintenance should theoretically go up to at least 15-20 years. It matches with the statements of Dr. Finner on a pretty popular and reliable german website called haarerkrankungen.de, where he says that the hair just gets over the mountain with the age because of the lower testosterone levels.

In detail (look at the picture): Someone asked if he could lower the dosage of finasteride because he was able to maintain his hair status for 13+ years and Dr. Finner said that a 0.5g dosage should be enough afterwards.

I don't know if you just slowed down your hair loss or if you stopped it completely so far, but whatever the case is, the longer it goes the better are the odds.

For me, I think it just slowed it, if you can find my thread in this section of the forum you will see where I am now and I managed to find my old account where I posted pics 10 years back (very bad quality though) So, as a precaution and also in the hope I can regain any recent loses I've added Dutas 2x per week.

I've seen them now (only the new ones, where are the older pictures?), and to think that you're able to get a full hair-style after more than 10 years just says enough. If you are losing more hair, than it's just reeaally slow. Considering the worst case scenario that nothing new comes out for 40 years: you'll keep this hair for more 10 years, then you'll maybe get one hair transplant to save it for more 10 years and then you'll get one more (you've definitely got enough donor hair that can resist dht for a long time) to get over the mountain. I honestly think that you'll die as a happy full haired dude, and hair surgeons will tell you the same.

I can't find my own post now lol, but I put a link on one of the last pages of my thread to a post I made 10 years back which has my old pictures in it.
