Diffuse thinning

[HenryBen]

Hi. 22 year old male here. 5 months ago i hopped on fin and oral minox. I switched from topical minox to oral and lost everything. Should i up my game to duta? Its not my hairline that is the problem per se its just that my hair is incredibly thin and diffuse. Am i non responder to fin and oral?

There are so many things can affect hair loss, not enough of something or too much of something. Could be stress causing it even and it may be temporary. First thing I would do is see what your Father's hair was like at your age, maybe in the genes. I would find a hair specialist, not a commercial person but more a Doctor type, and get advice before experimenting.

Its almost identical to my mother’s pattern. She is also bald/balding.

When you switch meds it can often bring on a hair shed. You will need to give the new regimen a few more months to see what happens. At 22, I would not add Dut.

I’m 7 months into my regime. Have certainly stabilized with a lil bit of regrowth. I’m getting a transplant because i dont think meds will actually restore significant density.

If it´s density within your existing hair you wish to address, a hair transplant is not going an option. You have way too much hair to try and add more hair between your existing hair. Adding more hair would trigger shock loss, damaging your existing hair, transecting a good percentage of the hair follicles and causing the hair to permanently shed. When placing into an area populated by existing healthy hair there must be enough room to safely create a recipient site without impeding on the surrounding hair.

You may want to look at a form of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) or cosmetic treatments like concealer products that add the look of greater fullness, along with staying on treatment.

Have you had any in person consultations with a hair transplant doctor? If so, what was their diagnosis?

I have had multiple and got a transplant for my frontal scalp. I’m confident meds can thicken up the rest of my hair.

When and who did your transplant? Looking at your earlier posts when you asked about a hair transplant it looks like you had a good head of hair.

Diffuse hair thinning is a substantial reduction in hair density throughout the complete scalp in place of in a single unique place, often inflicting the scalp to become extra seen
