I'm 19 years-old and I'm already experiencing thinning hair.
Will hair transplant surgery be effective for me?
As previously stated, I'm 19 years-old and already experiencing thinning hair.
My family has a history of male pattern baldness.
When I'm partaking in my normal activities, I do often find hair falling off my head and
I'm getting concerned because I can notice the receding hairline.
Would it be okay for me to do it at my age?
Thank you for your question!
You’re 19 years old and clearly noticed that you are already losing your hair.
And that is unfortunate it’s the early onset of hair loss is very often an aggressive onset.
We see patients come from all over the world for out treatment and we certainly see younger
and younger people because prior to recently, there wasn’t much that you can do.
As you know, male pattern hair loss is a genetic determined trait.
And there’s a programmed loss or thinning process that goes on.
Now, in the past, the only options were essentially oral medications like finasteride or topical
like minoxidil and hair transplantation, surgery.
It’s certainly an option for you to try finasteride.
For some younger men, it will slow down the progression but it will not stop it.
A lot of time, people who have this early onset tend to not respond to finasteride.
At the current time, a lot of people are not taking finasteride because of concerns of
long term sexual side effects.
This where what we do our practice, a huge benefit and opportunity for patients who come
from all over the world.
We developed something called Hair Regeneration was developed over the past several years
using material called extracellular matrix.
Extracellular matrix is used for wound healing.
It was serendipitous discovery but ultimately, we were able to create a formulation combining
this with a byproduct of your own blood called platelet-rich plasma and we’re able to actually
stop the progression of hair loss close to 100% of men who come to us for male pattern
hair loss.
Not only are we able to stop the progression, but we are also able to reverse the thinning.
That means that hair that was thinning and disappearing, is not becoming thicker.
It seems to be too good to be true.
We have certainly met with a lot of skepticism and a lot of our so-called colleagues are
opening trying to disparage the treatment which means that we’re obviously doing something
right because these colleagues are not behaving like scientists but rather behaving like very
unprofessionally.
Nonetheless, we have hundreds and hundreds of patients who are the living proof of the
benefit of this treatment.
So what I would suggest for you to learn more about Hair Regeneration, this treatment, this
methodology that we developed.
And what it can do in a minimum is at least stop the progression.
With 3-5 years of data, we have seen the benefit of the longevity and unlike some doctors who
are doing something similar and doing this by several injections, we have observe our
patients very closely.
We see people every 3 months and we do very objective observations with photography and
microscope photos and we have not seen anybody regressing.
We’ve seen this as a one-time treatment.
We are more than willing to treat people as much as needed but it’s been very successful
for us the way we’ve developed and there’s not standardization at this time with this
very new technology.
So I think that there’s an opportunity unlike people older than you who didn’t have this
technology available to them, you have an opportunity.
I always state that our patients tend to do better when they come in early from the time
of the onset of their hair loss.
You see the time of onset of hair loss and the progression are two factors.
And there is definitely some tendencies.
For example, a man who starts thinning in their 30s can still have hair well into their
30s.
But there are many younger men who start thinning in their teens and in their 20s and be bald
between their 20 to 23.
So onset and rate of progression are very important factors.
And so from perspective, the sooner comes in, the better off they are because we can
save the hairs that are existing.
A lot of times we can’t see them with a microscope because they are in a quiescent
or the telogen phase of hair growth but it does mean that hair that has been gone for
a long time cannot be salvage.
So the sooner someone comes it, the better it is.
So with that being said, learn more about Hair Regeneration and the medical treatments
such as finasteride and minoxidil and then meet with qualified and experienced professional
for a consultation.
So I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your question!
