I’ve Been Losing Hair for 6 Years — Will Propecia Still Help?

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’ve been gradually losing hair for 6 years. My temple area is very thin and my crown is somewhat thin. Can I benefit from Propecia since I’ve been losing hair for 5+ years? Thanks!

I’ll keep it short and sweet as well. I don’t know the sure answer to your question, because if you don’t try it you won’t know. I would like to think it should help if you have genetic balding (it does work for treating genetic balding by slowing or stopping the hair loss). Propecia works best when the hair loss is caught earlier, but I don’t think it’s too late if your loss has been gradual. Go see your doctor and get your scalp evaluated for miniaturization so you will know for sure what the diagnosis is.
