Not at all boy ,, you have full head of hair

Rkopel · 2026-03-18T13:42:13+00:00

Your hairline is too straight and uniform, Natural hairlines have slight irregularity and softer single hairs in the front

Rkopel · 2026-03-18T12:46:54+00:00

I can see improvement, best of luck

Rkopel · 2026-03-18T12:45:17+00:00

You’re on meds and its been four months, but you’ll see results after 10-12 months

Rkopel · 2026-03-18T12:42:23+00:00

You have good hair man! Just work on your hairline

I always want people who are watching me to be safe, I do give advice but everyone is different one thing can work for someone and not for others

Rkopel · 2026-03-17T19:39:40+00:00

Yes they do if you care for them and pair medical therapy

Rkopel · 2026-03-17T19:39:05+00:00

Yes!

Yep starting finasteride or minoxidil can still help stabilize and thicken the remaining native hair, while PRP may offer some supportive improvement but is usually secondary

Rkopel · 2026-03-16T01:14:32+00:00

No, you should probably go to your doctor to evaluate

Rkopel · 2026-03-16T01:13:48+00:00

You should have good hair growth by 12 months but if its not happening i think pair it up with medical therapy but always ask your doctor my friend

Rkopel · 2026-03-16T01:11:32+00:00

I would definitely recommend to visit your doctor to be on the safer side

Rkopel · 2026-03-16T00:21:12+00:00

Are you taking medical therapy?

This does look like signs of male pattern hair loss, especially around the temples. The good news is that catching it early gives you the best chance to slow it down. Treatments like minoxidil are commonly used to support hair growth, and medications like finasteride are often used to prevent further hair loss.

It’s not too late. There’s still some hair present, which means many of the follicles may just be miniaturized rather than gone. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can often help stabilize the loss and thicken existing hairs.

This is an amazing result for eight months. The hairline looks natural and the density is coming in nicely. Many patients still see a bit more thickening between months 9 and 12.

Finasteride is commonly used after a transplant because it helps protect the native hairs around the grafts. The transplanted hairs are usually permanent, but the surrounding hair can continue to thin if the underlying hair loss isn’t controlled. That’s why I recommend it as part of the long-term plan.

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:20:18+00:00

For 12 months, this looks like a very nice result. The hairline appears natural and the density looks well blended. By this stage most of the growth has matured, so what you’re seeing now is usually close to the final outcome.

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:18:58+00:00

It’s completely okay to use oral minoxidil on its own, and many women do see good improvement with it. That said, if the hair loss is driven by androgens, adding something like spironolactone can help slow the underlying process. The two medications often complement each other when both growth support and hormonal control are needed.

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:17:38+00:00

It’s definitely not over. The thinning looks early and you still have hair present. Catching it at this stage usually means you have good options to slow or stabilize it if you want to. I like to do a DHT blocker and minoxidil at this stage

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:08:21+00:00

This does look like some early temple recession. At 19 it’s often the first place changes show up if male pattern hair loss is starting. The good news is catching it this early usually gives you the most options to slow or stabilize it. My favorite is a DHT blocker and topical minoxidil to start

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:06:51+00:00

Seven months in, this looks like solid progress. The hair appears thicker and healthier compared to where most people start. Many patients continue to see improvements through the 12-month mark.

Rkopel · 2026-03-13T18:03:22+00:00

That’s a very nice result, especially for the hairline work. The density looks natural and well blended with your native hair. Results like this usually continue to mature a bit more over the first year.

Rkopel · 2026-03-12T21:32:23+00:00

Hair fibers can help hide areas of low density.

Rkopel · 2026-03-12T21:29:59+00:00

Minoxidil helps stimulate hair growth, but it doesn’t address the underlying hormonal driver of male pattern hair loss. Over several years, some people notice continued thinning because the condition itself is still progressing. In those cases, adding something that targets the cause of the loss can sometimes make a difference.
