Please suggest the best treatment for baldness.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Unfortunately, the medicine that you have taken for the male pattern baldness does not work much in this condition. After certain limit, oil and tablets are useless.
• As you are young, hair transplant is the only way to get your hair back. You are a good choice for hair transplant as your donor area (back of the scalp) is good. In seven to eight months, you will get the proper look again.
• Stress is another factor, which increases the hair fall. Though you are taking medicine for that, please avoid it as much as you can.
• I recommend hair transplant as the best way to get your hair back. It is safe and highly successful procedure.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There are some side effects on sexual health with the use of Finasteride, but 1 mg is a very low dose.

• I usually prescribe Finasteride for three months continuously and then stop for one month. However, Finasteride, Minoxidil and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) have dependency effect. Once these medicines are stopped, then there will be hair fall again. So, these are not permanent cure. You cannot continue these medicines for many years.
• The hair after transplant will be permanent. There is no need of any medicine after hair transplant, as the transplant itself is the treatment.
• Follicular unit extraction - FUE is a good and painless method of hair transplantation and has no risk. You might require two sessions of hair transplant.
• Hair transplant is the only permanent cure or you can wear artificial wigs.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• You can take Finasteride 1 mg daily for three months. Then, stop it for 15 to 20 days. Again, restart the medicine and continue for three months. You can take the medicine in this pattern for about a year.
• Finasteride will stop your hair fall and you will get almost 40% to 60% hair back. Again, if you stop the medicine, there will be hair fall.
• You can take antidepressants with Finasteride as there are no side effects reported. But, keep an eye. If you feel dizziness, headache or have any urine problem, then it needs to be evaluated.
• You will start responding within 20 days of treatment with Finasteride. It stops hair fall very soon and hair will grow back in two months. But, you will not get 100% hair as many roots are lost in baldness and they will not grow back.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• As I told you before, this medicine has dependency effect. You will not have hair fall till you continue the medicine. Once you stop it, again hair fall will start. The hair that are weak will suddenly start falling.

• Now, you do not need to go to any dermatologist. You can directly start taking medicine as prescribed.

• You can use either tablet Finax 1 mg or tablet Finpecia 1 mg. The medicine is safe and as you have taken previously and you can start directly.

• You can take 1 mg daily for three months and then stop for three weeks and again take for three months. You can take it once a day at any time.

• You can take this medicine safely for one to two years. You may not have the hair that you had 10 years ago, but it will be almost 50% and hair fall will completely stop.

• Finasteride is safe and it does not have any interaction with antidepressant medicine. You can take it safely.

• You should stop taking Finasteride one month before marriage, so that there will not be even any chance of effect during sexual activity.

HI,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Yes, now you should stop it for three to four weeks and then you can start again.
• As I told you it is hormone condition and very difficult to stop altogether. If your hair still in the same situation as eight months back means the medicine is working.
• There is no side effect with other medicine. So, you can take it.
• A headache could be due to any other cause. Finax is not known for causing a headache.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• You cannot take Finax for a long time. And as I told it is hormonal, it is difficult to stop hair fall completely.
• The final solution is hair transplant. If you become bald get the hair transplantation done.
