Hair Loss Treatments for 24 Year Old Male with Thinning Hair?

Hi, I’m 24 years old with thin and receding hair. What can I do?

Your first step should be to consult with a dermatologist or hair restoration physician about medical [tag]hair loss treatments[/tag]. [tag]Rogaine[/tag] ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]) and [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) are the only two clinically proven and FDA approved drugs for the treatment of [tag]androgenic alopecia[/tag] ([tag]male pattern baldness[/tag]). Starting these drugs early can help save a lot of hair that would otherwise be permanently lost. You may even [tag]regrow hair[/tag] that you’ve already lost, although medical treatments are not known to be effective on a receding hairline. This is typically treated surgically.

You may not be a candidate yet for [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery. However, a skilled, experienced and ethical hair transplant surgeon can assist you in formulating a long-term plan that may eventually include surgical [tag]hair restoration[/tag].
