Hair Transplant Vs. Propecia for 25 Year Old Male

I’m 25 years old and my doctor recommended [tag]Rogaine[/tag]( [tag]minoxidil[/tag]) for my hair loss but people tell me it doesn’t work. I am also not sure if I’m willing to take [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) because I’m afraid of the possible side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Should I consider a [tag]hair transplant[/tag] instead?

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.

You should definitely consider Propecia and or Rogaine to slow down the [tag]hair loss[/tag]. There is even a chance that you could get some improvement without surgical [tag]hair restoration[/tag]. At least give it a try. If you have any side effects then simply discontinue use. The surgical option will still be available.

Doing [tag]follicular unit hair transplantation[/tag] in the crown on a 25 year old patient without even trying some non-surgical hair restoration options would not be very wise.
