AGA is a disease that is largely driven by genetic factors, so if you stop treatment, the condition will progress and there is no end to the treatment. 
Based on Nishikawa's experience, I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of treatment.
This is a must-see for anyone considering AGA treatment.

Try AGA treatment

To sum up, I honestly feel that it was a good thing that I did it.
It's true that treatment costs money and takes time, but the fact that I've been freed from worries about my appearance is a big deal, and overall I feel that it was worth it.

Making AGA treatment more accessible

More and more men are becoming concerned about their appearance, and makeup, hair removal, and skin treatments are no longer just for women.
As the term "beauty boys" has emerged, it is certain that the number of men with a high level of aesthetic consciousness is increasing.
Just 10 to 15 years ago, the term AGA was unheard of, but in recent years it has become quite widespread.I feel that AGA treatment is becoming more accessible thanks to advances in medicine.

Because AGA is a hereditary disease, its treatment cannot be lumped together with cosmetic treatment, but as an increasing number of people are undergoing hair loss treatment as part of their grooming routine, I think AGA treatment will become more commonplace in the future.

Thoughts after experiencing the effects of treatment

It was only after experiencing the therapeutic effects that"I wish I had known sooner that AGA could be treated!"I thought.
When I was suffering from hair loss due to the coronavirus, my friends around me started treatment, so I decided to get treatment too.I felt a sense of regret that if I had started five years earlier, I might have been able to maintain better condition.

AGASymptomatic treatment

・Effects and impressions of symptomatic treatment
Some of our clinic's patients have used commercially available hair growth products, wigs, and hair transplants for many years in the past, but have similar regrets, saying, "It didn't solve my problems at all," or "I wish I had gotten treatment sooner."
It is true that when you consider the cost and effort of treatment, some people are tempted to choose symptomatic treatment that is easy to implement.

・There is a risk of accelerating the progression of AGA!?
Many hair extensions, hair augmentations, and hair transplants only work if you have your own hair, so if AGA progresses and you lose your own hair, your options may become limited.
I don't want you to regret it, so I'll say it clearly from the perspective of a hair specialist:Symptomatic treatments such as using wigs or hair extensions may pose the risk of accelerating the progression of AGA.
It is important to know that continuing to use over-the-counter medications to treat AGA can mean small expenses piling up without you seeing the results you were hoping for, and that you may end up paying a lot of money without seeing any results.

If in doubt, consult the clinic
It is known that starting treatment early will result in less unnecessary costs and more effective treatment, so if you are unsure, we recommend that you consult a clinic rather than making your own decision.

If you didn’t know about AGA treatment

What if your hair was gradually thinning without knowing that AGA could be treated?
It might have been easier to just give up and accept it.
He may have chosen to have a hair transplant, or he may have simply given up and cut his hair short.
Common issues include:Once you experience the effects of treatment, you may be afraid of going back to the state you were in before treatment.

It is easy to put off treatment, thinking that since things are still okay, it's okay to wait and see how it goes before starting, but this is a disease that is known to only progress once it develops and cannot be cured.
That is why we recommend that you are prepared to continue treatment for the rest of your life and do not put it off, but rather start treatment as young as possible to preserve your hair, and then decide to stop treatment when you reach an age where the progression of the disease slows down.

Summary of this time

・AGA treatment is a progressive disease that cannot be cured completely with current medical science, so in order to maintain the condition, once treatment has begun, it is necessary to continue it for the rest of one's life.

- Although it may seem like a hassle to have to take medication every day, the sooner you start treatment, the better your condition will be.

- Although people are inclined to choose symptomatic treatment due to financial and laborious reasons, choosing treatment from the beginning may be more effective and less expensive when considering the timing of starting treatment and in the long run, so if you are unsure, it is recommended that you consult a clinic rather than making a decision on your own.
