If Propecia Works Best for Recent Hair Loss, What Is Considered “Recent”?

Propecia reportedly works best regrowing recent hairloss, but what is considered recent? Hair lost the last 6 months? The last year? Longer?

Propecia (finasteride 1mg) works best for men who are actively losing hair. If you are totally bald, it will not regrow hair. Propecia works best if you have many miniaturized hairs, if you are under 30 years old, and if the hair loss has occurred over less than 2 years (this does not necessarily mean that it won’t work with more chronic hair loss, though). I often write about getting a miniaturization study to document a starting point, particularly before you get on a drug to treat your loss.
