-To my ear, most of us want to maintain whatever advantages we have, particularly with regard to cosmetics. I've just recently come to terms with the shedding experienced on TRT. I understand that it is putting me at the place where other members of my family have been at, at my age and doesn't mean i'll have to develop a personality.
-If you are looking for a solution to (accelerated by aas) MPB that is genetic in your family... But, if the men (particularly on your mother's side) are not predisposed, you have more options.
-My view:
if you're predisposed to MPB and you love your hair more than your virile appearance, you already know what is going to happen. Plugs or transplants may be your answer and you were going to need this anyway.
if you are not predisposed, perhaps there are other solutions than that. Lantanaprost is one.
from Defy Medical-
"Latanoprost - A double-blind scientific study published in the May 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology has found that latanoprost, a drug that mimics naturally-derived compound molecules called prostaglandins, significantly increases hair density on the scalp after 24 weeks of treatment in young men with mild hair loss. Latanoprost, like the eyelash restoration drug bimatoprost (better-known by its brand name Latisse), has been used to treat glaucoma. And like bimatoprost, latanoprost has been used to treat eyelash alopecia. The scientists who conducted the study sought to determine if latanoprost could stimulate hair growth when applied topically on the scalp."
-It seems to me that if one still has the ability to sustain hair growth, something like this (Lantanaprost) is cheaper than a transplant.
