Regular Member Monza Posted September 2, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think age 19 is a bit too young for a HT. Your best bet is to start on Propecia (finesteride) to maintain your current hair growth. Costs for a HT can vary greatly and will depend upon the number of grafts, but ballpark a cool $10k on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted September 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm guessing here, but I'd say you have extremely minimal hairloss and that combined with your age no good doctor would work on you at this point. That said, I'd post some clear pics here or do a consult with a clinic or two if you are really worried. They are generally free and the advice excellent. Also, as already mentioned, look into propecia/finasteride and rogaine/minox 5% foam.....ideally, you'd get on these ASAP, hope to stabalize your loss if not regrow your hair, and in a year's time re-evaluate your situation. 2cents ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!
