This man worked his way up from 0.25mgs to 1mg over these 20 months. The results are impressive. Take a look at the hairline at the leading edge. It seems solid and significantly different from the photo 22 months earlier.

These photos show slow progress, with the hair filling in nicely. Give it another year and possibly a stronger dose and you might reverse the crown loss.
I have been taking 1mg of finasteride daily for the past 3 years. About a month ago, I cut my dose in half to .5mg by breaking the tablets in half. After about 3 weeks of doing this, I noticed what appeared to be a higher amount of hair falling out when I would run […]
Great result, which shows the sensitivity to crown hairs to these two drugs.
The dose you took is almost half the recommended dose. According to the original Merck studies, a half dose is 72% as effective as a full 1mg dose. You were probably at slightly less than 1/2 dose and it worked for you. Good job.
Week 1 on fin. Shedding has decreased from 100-150 hairs/day to approx. 10-30 hairs/day. Scalp itch is almost entirely gone. No sides. Taken every other day. I’m a diffuse thinner, so I’m sitting at a NW1 right now with density being my primary point of concern. I started fin about two months after seeing signs […]
Should Finasteride and Dutasteride be taken on the same day? For example: should I take Dutasteride in the morning, then Finasteride at night? It makes no sense to use both dutasteride and finasteride. Pick one or the other. Get a doctor to advise you.
Finasteride works well in the crown in men over 45. A 71-year-old friend went on proscar for his prostate and regrew his hair in the front and in the crown. He bragged to me.
No. Finasteride will eventually stabilize at some positive balance with your rate of hair loss. The original studies showed that over a 5-year period, men on finasteride lost less hair and kept more hair. I know from my practice that men on finasteride for 20 years who decided to stop the drug came crying to […]
The crown is often more sensitive to medications like finasteride and minoxidil. This shows up nicely in this young man.
So somebody who continues to take finasteride and does not stop like in the example you gave, it will often continue to provide it’s benefits in retaining hair and won’t necessarily lose its effectiveness? Correct; however, hair has its own agenda with genetic codes for Apoptosis (cell hair suicide) which is delayed by finasteride but […]
This is an amazing reversal of the hair loss in a young man who kept to a good plan. He is going to have to keep it up to maintain this achievement. The microneedling may or may not be critical to the maintenance program.
To answer your question, I need to see photos, know your age, understand what you have been doing to grow your hair and learn about your family history.
It is unusual to get such an excellent frontal reversal of hair loss in such a short period.
It may limit the negative effects of DHT which in balding men produces miniaturization which in turn slows down hair growth. Finasteride blocks this process so I guess you can say that it speeds up hair growth while I would say that it reverses miniaturization in which case, the hairs will grow faster.
