Though no cure for hair loss exists to date, Non-surgical solutions such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) can be effective to slow down, stop, or even reverse the effects of male pattern baldness in some men.

Since these hair loss drugs are better at preventing the progression of male pattern baldness, many young men in the very early stages of balding have started to take Propecia (finasteride) in hopes to stop it in its tracks before it gets out of hand. But how effective is Propecia in young men trying to stop genetics from destroying precious hair follicles?

Recently, a young 21 year old male who recently started experiencing thinning hair asked this very question on our discussion forum. To learn how effective Propecia is at fighting genetic baldness in young men and to offer your input, you are encouraged to visit “Propecia for early stages of hair loss”.

Dozens of alleged treatments for female and male pattern baldness are manufactured and advertised every year. The question is – do any of these products actually work to stop hair loss or regrow lost hair?

Zenagen advanced hair solution is a shampoo that claims to block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), reduce hair shedding, and speed up hair growth all for approximately $17 per month. But is there any clinical evidence to suggest this shampoo is a successful solution for hair loss?

Recently, new forum member “Grany” who claims to be a physician asked the members of our community for feedback on Zenagen shampoo. You are encouraged to offer your input and/or experience with Zenagen on our hair restoration forum.

If the recipient area is exposed to sunlight (through glass) after a hair restoration procedure, can this damage the grafts or impede hair growth? I sit in front of a window with a thin curtain for about an hour a day.

This hair loss question was answered by Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. His professional answer is below.

Technically, you can get a sunburn through the window. Too much sun exposure after a hair transplant is not recommended. The recipient area is usually irritated already and sun exposure can only make it worse.

Sunlight through a window with a curtain will not likely cause any damage depending on the thickness of the curtain and the angle at which the sunlight hits the scalp.

I have two questions concerning long-term hair restoration goals. Regarding medications, doesn’t Propecia lose its effectiveness over time? Also, what happens when patients’ donor hair starts to thin? I was told that hair from the “safe zone” eventually becomes susceptible to Male Pattern Baldness. If these things are true, how can anyone guarantee lasting results?

This hair loss question was answered by Dr. Cam Simmons of Toronto, Canada, who is a highly esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

I know some patients who have taken Propecia (finasteride) since 1997 (before they met me) who feel that they haven’t lost more hair, and some who have had a slow decline.

Some hair follicles in the donor area may be affected by DHT, but most aren’t in most men. Take a look at the seniors you meet or pass in a day. In a few, you can see through their hair on the sides, but not in most. Some men can get generalized thinning of all of their hair in advanced age, called senile alopecia.

I just did a touch-up hair transplant for a 68 year-old man who had 4 sessions from 1976 to 1980 and the transplanted hair was still there. His hair was about 2 inches long, and the rows and rows of punch graft scars did not show. The scars made up about half of his 9mm wide, 30cm long donor strip, but we still managed to get 1408 grafts.
