Does Finasteride Stop the Hairline from Receding?
Would you agree with the results of this article?
Link: Finasteride in the treatment of men with frontal male pattern hair loss.Also, even if it doesn’t promote regrowth, does Finasteride at least stops the hairline from receding further?
The results of that 1999 study you referenced says: “There was a significant increase in hair count in the frontal scalp of finasteride-treated patients (P < .001), as well as significant improvements in patient, investigator, and global photographic assessments. Efficacy was maintained or improved throughout the second year of the study. Finasteride was generally well tolerated.”
Based on what I’ve seen in my own practice, I do agree with it for the most part. I believe Propecia can slow down or stop the frontal hair loss in those genetically prone to frontal recession. It does regrow hair in the frontal hairline on rare occasions, but it has shown to work much better in the crown.
Propecia worked incredibly well for me along the hairline
4 years ago my hairline began to thin and recede…I started taking Propecia and today my hairline and frontal hair looks exactly the same! I’m living proof :) Propecia can stop hair loss anywhere on the scalp!
Propecia halted my receding hairline within the first six months and had regrown all by start of the second year. It may be rare but I’m clearly not the only one it works for.
Medications (Finasteride and Minoxidil) made a huge difference in scalp coverage for me also. I even regrew some hair in an area that hadn’t had hair there in years.
If you have severe/moderate acne, rosacea, oily skin etc….I seriously doubt finasteride or even dutasteride would stop frontal hair loss. You would need to directly stop what is causing the hair loss there…the androgen receptors that are expressed. Either remove them somehow with genetic therapies or chemotherapy agents (I don’t know anything about this, but it is possible)….OR use an antagonist. Take hair loss seriously because or society has no tolerance for it.
where can i attach a picture to show some results?
I’m 18 and I started losing hair at the age of 17 which is really early, but I’m getting motivated to start taking propecia as a lot of people seem to have great experiences with it. I’m just really curious about the “It interferes with your sexual function myth” which I know it sometimes does… but I’m still a virgin so I have nothing to lose… Im conserving to when I get married so it doesn’t really matter…. but on a serious note, I will start taking it as soon as I get the money and the medication…
