There is no way to tell for sure - hair loss progression is really unpredictable. It can speed up and slow down at any age. Some people hit a plateau of no loss for a while, only to fall off the cliff with exponential loss. You can get an estimate - pretty much an educated guess - during a consultation, or look at your family's history for clues. Medications like Propecia, Avodart, Rogaine, etc. can help slow the progression, but it cannot stop it completely.

Its a good topic to discuss for those considering hair loss medications and/or transplant. Think about all the possibilities and plan for the future.
