0.5 mg finasteride - tipps please?

[Guest12357]

Good evening friends,

I am 24 years old and have been suffering from hair loss since I was 21. I wanted to do an HT with Dr Kaan Pekiner. We did a Facetime, which I thought was really great. He said that if he did an op with me now, he would have a good result, but recommended that I start with Finasteride 0.5 mg first and generally strengthen the hair on the back of the head everywhere and then do the HT. I will start with Finasteride 0.5 + Regaine from now on. (Have used Regain for 5-6 months) Loved his honesty. My question to you ... has anyone had good experiences with finasteride with 0.5 mg? And what do you say about my hair status?

Best regards

The doctor is being cautious starting you off on a lower dose than 1mg per day. If you don`t get any sides I would personally increase it to 1mg per day. It may improve your crown sufficiently that no work is needed there, it could improve the donor and the main reason is to prevent further loss anywhere.
Go with what the doctor has said and see how it goes.
What were you wanting to achieve with a hair transplant?

I have strong receding hairlines in front and it has also become very thin. therefore I would like to reinforce it first with fin and then preferably only in the front area an HT. What do you think?

my hair 4-5years ago

hopefully it will be like that again after the op

It is unlikely you will get the hairline back from your last picture. You have to be realistic with your expectations. You can get a very good result, especially if the meds work for you. Your crown is thinning which probably is an indicator that your mid section is thinner too.
Try the meds suggested by the doctor and take it from there.
