Hi folks,
First time poster here.
I’m 29, and have noticed incremental hair loss since aged 21. Early on, it wasn’t anything I worried too much about as the change was so marginal.
For the last year or so, however, the pace has picked up, and I started noticing thinning from the temples, but also from the centre of my head. Nothing from the crown as yet.
I think I’m ready to start a soft treatment to retain the hair I have, and hopefully grow in places anew.
I’ve started taking saw palmetto extract every day and, for the last year, I have been using a biotin pill called Trx2 from Oxford Bio Labs, with very little impact.
So, onto the stronger stuff. I am leaning towards a finasteride solution as I would like to take only an oral treatment, as opposed to topical. I can understand how effective the topical treatments can be, but I’d prefer not to go down that route.
My main question: any advice on what treatments I can look out for in Scandinavia, specifically Denmark? We have Propecia here, but it seems absurdly expensive (around $60 a month).
Elsewhere, I am changing my already healthy diet somewhat, specifically cutting back on coffee as I read somewhere here that a new study suggests caffeine can have an impact on hair loss. Plus I probably shouldn’t be drinking 5 cups a day anyway!
I’ve added some photos for reference. Please excuse the dopey face!
