What Is The Best Hair Loss Treatment?
what is the best possible treatment for baldness for a 23 years young male?
The best treatment for a 23 year old male with hair loss will vary somewhat depending on the degree of hair loss at this young age. If you have an advanced degree of hair loss, surgical solutions should not be considered. The reason for this is simply that hair loss is a lifelong process. Once it begins, it will continue the remainder of one’s life. Typically it will advance in stages. This means there will be periods when the loss is stable and periods when the loss accelerates quite rapidly. An advanced degree of loss usually means that one will lose an excessive amount of hair over their life time beyond the capacity of the donor area to keep up with the pace of loss. Eventually there will be a mismatch between supply and demand. This can result in an unnatural result later in life. One should avoid crown work when possible at this age or at least minimize the size of the grafts to one and two hair grafts that will appear more natural as the surrounding hair is lost later in life.
For the advanced degree of loss at an early age, medical and other non-surgical solutions would be the best options. These include DHT blockers such as Propecia and Avodart. It also includes minoxidil (Rogaine) along with Nizoral shampoo. We like Hair Cycle shampoo and conditioner too. One might also consider a hair piece.
Less aggressive degrees of loss should also be treated medically, but one might also consider a surgical solution. The surgical solution should never include a strip procedure. Rather one should have FUE or FIT when they are less than 30 years of age. It used to be that the only surgical option was a strip surgery that left a permanent strip scar. Today, this is not the case. Alternatives that avoid strip scars are available today and a much safer surgical solution.
It is a good idea to put off surgery as long as possible when you are young. The longer you wait, the more likely you are to know the bald pattern you are likely to develop into. In addition, you may find that you panicked as a 23 year old and solved the problem surgically. As men mature, sometimes they become comfortable with their hair loss. Once you begin surgery, you increase the probability that you may require additional procedures as you mature and your hair loss progresses. If you are certain that you want to maximize the hair on your head and you are not expected to have an advanced degree of loss, then surgery may be an option for you, however.
