Hi there,

Age 23 is the time that most people with male pattern hair loss start seeing some degrees of baldness. You did also mention that your father is not bald. Although it could be related to men’s hair loss in its typical form or male patterned alopecia is a genetic condition, many people may not find baldness in their immediate relatives. In other words, the gene expression for hair loss may skip some generations. A small group of men with hair loss may suffer from other types of hair loss such as alopecia areata, cicatricial alopecia or other rare balding conditions.

You need to see a good hair specialist who can examine your hair and come up with an accurate diagnosis for your hair loss condition before you can start on any hair loss medication or treatment. I generally spend around one hour with every new patient to evaluate the hair loss and to come up with a proper treatment plan in our California hair transplant centers. Most shampoos, conditioners, lotions or vitamins that are extensively marketed for hair loss do not really help stop the hair loss or re-grow hair. If you have male patterned baldness, there are some medications that can stop your hair loss. You may as well need a hair transplant to restore the hair that cannot be restored by means of medical treatment.

A linear scar on the back, some swelling and redness on forehead for a few days after surgery and possibility of some numbness at or around donor and recipient area.  For more you see donor scar complication post in my blog.

We are in process of having regular visits to Dubai, but we don’t have a certain day yet.  Please check with our office within the next few months for the schedule of our Dubai, UAE hair transplant clinic.  However, if you are willing to travel to get your hair restoration surgery done in our Los Angeles hair transplant clinic, we do have a special program for the patients from other countries in which they can get 10% off the cost of their hair restoration procedure toward their traveling expenses.

It usually takes 3 months for you to see any growth, and then it will get better and better until 1 year post surgery.
