How Bad Could the Hair Loss Be After Stopping Propecia?

Hello Dr.,
Thank you for answering all questions and thank you for this blog.

You have mentioned that catch up hair loss could be very dramatic after stopping propecia. Do you have any examples that you can provide us? (i.e a NW 2 going to a NW6).

Thank you

Let’s say you now show a Norwood Class 3A pattern and have been on finasteride for 10 years. Upon stopping the medication your hair could remain the same… or you could begin to show progress to a Norwood Class 5, 6, or even a 7. The catching up of the hair loss just means you’ll go to the pattern you would’ve been had you never taken the medication in the first place. So what you are asking is a look into your future, but you’ll need to see an experienced gypsy for that.
