I am 21 years old and my hair was visibly thinning all over. I went on finasteride one year ago and all of my thinning is gone. Amazing. Is this common? Young men (in your case 21) are often very sensitize to getting hair growth from finasteride. Total reversal at your age, is not unusual.

Long and short, what I wanted to know was whether your natural balding pattern that is determined by your genetics eventually manifests itself despite finasteride use or not. Hence, I asked, does finasteride just delay the inevitable, or does it continue to work to prevent the progression of hair loss for the duration it is […]
Amazing result from these two drug. You should show your hairline pulled back to cement what we are now seeing.
These results show that the apparent miniaturization that was there prior to starting these medications, have reversed.
It’s now been 1 year since I started Fin only. I’m mid 40s and been thinning for 15+ years. Finally took the plunge to get on Finasteride 1 year ago. Nice improvement, but still now where you need to be. You might add microneedling on the left side to induce more growth as finasteride doesn’t […]
Good early response to this combination of finasteride and minoxidil. It would be best if he waited 6 months to show even more dramatic photos.The crown is usually more responsive than other parts of the scalp to such treatment.
Finasteride delays atherosclerosis progression in mice and is associated with a reduction in plasma cholesterol in men – https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38272355/
I hear some people say that brand name worked better for them and then I also hear other people say that it doesn’t matter what brand you use… It works because the FDA requires comparable testing for generic drugs. Some companies may not comply. If caught without compliance, they may never return to the market. […]
Thank you for BaldingBlog and for answering all questions about hair loss! I have a bit of a less common question although I’m sure it comes up in your practice from time to time. I understand that if a balding man were to stop Finasteride then hair loss would resume and the balding pattern would […]
At 19, hair loss is very recent, so men of this age are very sensitive to finasteride and in this case also minoxidil. He reversed his hair loss in just 6 months on this combination of drug.
Young men with recent hair loss, like this 17-year-old male, most often are very sensitive to finasteride and can get a complete reversal in a very short period as shown here. This is an amazingly good response.
I do not doubt that this is the result primarily of using microneedling, supported by minoxidil and finasteride. Microneedling can bring out fantastic hair growth, in your case in just 4 months. The question, of course, is when and if to stop the microneedling. I suggest that it should be continued monthly, almost indefinitely, or […]
Yes. Finasteride does seem to work more often in the crown when the frontal area has no response. I have seen finasteride reverse crown loss in men as old as 70.
There seems to be a lot of different opinions floating around regarding it’s long term effectiveness … With consistent use, does it maintain it’s therapeutic effects, or does your genetically predetermined Norwood level eventually develop as you age despite taking it? I’ve seen some people state that it continues to have it’s effects for as […]
Fin at a young age, 18, 19, 20, etc. Should you do it? Messing with your hormones at such a young age doesn’t seem like a good idea. Does it mess with them as much as people say and would you advise someone of that age to take fin if they’re balding? I routinely prescribe […]
