Since My Hair is Short, Would My Propecia Regrowth Results Come in Faster?

Hello Doctor,

I have a question that I don’t think you’ve gotten before, it has to do with when I should expect to see results with Propecia.

I understand it takes about 6+ Months to start to see results, I assume time line is meant for people with average length hair. However; I have very very short hair, I crop it pretty close. Since my hair is short enough that mere buds would be noticeable…when do you think I should start to see new hairs?

How long would it take for the budding hair to just start to show itself on an almost bald head?

First, hair length won’t make the hair regrow faster or slower.

Propecia doesn’t always grow new hair, though it can thicken existing miniaturized hair. If your hair is short, I suppose you will be able to see new hairs (if there are new hairs that grow)… but I doubt you are that observant to see a few hairs out of thousands of existing ones. It’s like trying to see new grass grow from an existing field of grass. Long or short, it would be pretty hard.

If Propecia is really working, you will see it overall in your appearance, not at the individual hair level.
