A 22-year-old lady is experiencing hair thinning at the top of her scalp. Her dermatologist recommended she use men’s Rogaine (minoxidil 5%) to help. She is concerned that the solution will not work for her, and she says she can’t afford to lose more hair.

New York hair restoration specialist Amiya Prasad, MD reviews her photos in this video, and explains that hair loss in women in their 20s is unusual, but can be treated if it is properly diagnosed as female pattern hair loss, and not another factor contributing to hair loss:

1:19 - Dr. Prasad’s training and background, and his experience of treating hair loss surgically and non-surgically
1:54 - Why diagnosing hair loss first at age 22 is important because pattern hair loss in women is unusual at this age and usually appears in the 40s and older, so other causes need to be ruled out first
2:41 - How Dr. Prasad developed a non-surgical injection treatment for men and women to reverse hair loss by thickening thinning hair
3:20 - How pattern hair loss in men and women is revealed differently in age and severity
3:39 - How hair loss in women is more common after the 40s rather than in the 20s and 30s
3:50 - How Dr. Prasad would do scalp biopsies first in women in their 20s who come to him for hair loss to rule out inflammatory, scarring, or autoimmune causes of hair loss
4:38 - A lot of Dr. Prasad’s female patients in their 20s and early 30s are confirmed to have female pattern hair loss after results of biopsies are reviewed
4:52 - How more women are finding the Hair Regeneration option, with over 90% of female and over 99% of male patients seeing visible benefits of the treatment
5:19 - How 5% Rogaine on women carries the risk of side effects like facial hair growth, and a higher concentration doesn’t necessarily mean better results
6:05 - How minoxidil works by delaying hair shedding, and extending hair growth, but does not actually thicken hair or stop hair loss progression
6:51 - Why there are few options to treat hair loss, which leads to people to do desperate things, and use products that don’t work
7:21 - Why hair transplants are more an option for men, while in women hair transplants can damage existing hair follicles, which is why Hair Regeneration is good option to thicken existing hair instead of transplantation
