Norwood 3? Thin Crown + Diffuse Thinning

[barfacan]

Thought i'd post my pics as i'm now at least doing some treatments and it's best to keep some sort of journal

I do think i've made some progress in the little time i've been treating it (under 2 months).

It would be a huge success to get the crown to an acceptable density (along with the rest of the top), and if needed just get the temples Fue'd along with the corners of the hairline.

Since im diffusing, im really praying brotzus magical potion comes out in 2017 and is at least somewhat effective. Hopefully that will trigger some good growth and gives me some density back. If that's lacking then i'm hopeful histogen actually does something in 2017. Then there's PRP and other fringe sh*t that isn't really proven, but wouldn't be against trying it either if the Doctor has a decent track record.

Point is i don't want to rush into a hair transplant before i know where i stand with treatments in the long term.
Family history is sh*t, everyone is Norwood 5-7, except older brother who's NW1

Haha "family history is sh*t"

I have 7 cousins, and i am the only one with male pattern baldness

They enjoying NW0 without even knowing that there is something like male pattern baldness

EDIT: Ah yeah i forgot about 5 uncles, 1 of them running male pattern baldness NW2.5 at 47 years old....

Couple new pics, i feel like theres some progress in the 3.5 months so far. Shitty consistency in terms of lighting / hair length but whatever.

Your frontal hairline has a lot left.. I personally think like a Norwood 2.5

 

[barfacan]

Feels like there's some improvement, although the lighting / hair length are different.

Here's another monthly update

Hard to get consistent natural lighting.

 

[michel sapin]

treatment?

 

[barfacan]

Been about 7 months now.



Couple more pics with some better lighting

Still holding out hope that the crown/vertex thicken up a bit more... Temples will probably be a tough bargain

 

[barfacan]

coming up on 11 months now.

Might be a slight improvement, i don't think its getting any worse at least.

In the future, i plan to

Start needling (got a dermastamp for it)
Hope for brotzu brotion
possibly PRP

Sorry, but there are no real benefits from your posts, without knowing your current regimen. I didn't see you mentioned it before, but I suspect you are on finasteride and minoxidil, right?
