My doctor prescribed me 10% minoxidil along with some vitamins tablets. Those pictures were taken just after I applied minoxidil, made my hair really sticky.You're approaching Norwood 4. Time to get on finasteride or preferably dutasteride as soon as possible, if you're not on it already.
Your hair loss is advanced. Minoxidil and vitamins are not going to be enough unfortunately. You will need to use finasteride if you wish to treat your hair loss properly. Dutasteride would be an even better choice in your case.

Is it enough to maintain whatever I have left, and get some density probably? For 3-4 years I want to maintain this before getting a transplant.Your hair loss is advanced.

No, minoxidil will not be enough to maintain your hair. You will need to get on finasteride or preferably dutasteride if you intend to treat your hair loss properly. You would also need to continue using finasteride/dutasteride after the transplant too so that your transplant can last. The unfortunate reality is that anyone with male pattern baldness does need to use finasteride/dutasteride permanently in order to stop their hair from falling out. Hopefully a better and safer alternative to finasteride will eventually come out, but until then, finasteride/dutasteride is all we have that has been proven to work well.Is it enough to maintain whatever I have left, and get some density probably?
