It appears that people who had a good response to finasteride early do get better long term results. Like I’ve said before, I’ve had patients on this medication for over a decade with continued great results. I won’t be able to know what kind of time frame of success you’ll have, though. If you’ve had […]

Your result are rare. Propecia is mainly effective on the top and the crown (not the front hairline). But if it works, then stay on it. The crown may respond within a year on the drug. There is no right time or optimal time to take Propecia. The goal is to take it everyday at […]
Snippet from the press release: Read the rest — Further Analysis Reveals Double Digit Hair Growth in RepliCel’s First-in-man Clinical Trial These are updated results that were announced, but the release goes on to say that the trials will be continuing into August 2013, with results to be announced by the end that year.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear in my prior post. A simple way to think about this is that Propecia does not stop hair loss completely, and it works best at the top / crown area. So if you are balding in a Norwood 6 or 7 pattern, Propecia will slow down the hair loss on […]
It’s reasonable to wash your hair once a day. Washing your hair isn’t going to cause more to regrow, but as long as your treatments are working, you should keep up what you’re doing.
I believe that improvement while taking finasteride has been reported for as long as 24 months. Shock loss is often protected by finasteride… so as long as you stay on the medication, having a hair transplant should not produce shock loss.
In response to a recent post about stress hair loss vs genetic causes: These numbers of 6 or 12 months are in the ballpark of what we see. It’s an educated guess based upon experience over a long time frame. Either number works, but clearly, if you see regrowth in 6 months then you’re on […]
You are already 25 years old. How much taller are you expecting to grow? I think it is safe to assume you will not likely grow any taller regardless of whether or not you took Propecia. Most men will stop growing by their late teens, maybe early 20s. You’re in the clear. I can not […]
Last week I asked readers to share their stories about body hair growth (increased or decreased) while taking Propecia… This is not an atypical story. Most men who do their research and keep a level head about the hair loss problem will tackle it with logic. The logical steps are clearly defined in this and […]
Propecia rarely reverses frontal hair loss, though it may happen on occasion for certain men. I have no idea how to determine before starting the medication if it’ll work to regrow in the frontal hairline for a specific patient. This rare regrowth is often not related to the degree of miniaturization. The optimal age for […]
As I’ve said before, when finasteride/Propecia works well for a patient, he isn’t likely to bombard internet forums with his positive results (they just go about their daily lives)… but if he feels like he’s been wronged or cheated, he might have no problem going out of his way to let everyone know on every […]
As stated in my previous post: “Propecia (finasteride) blocks DHT. DHT is known to be responsible for secondary male characteristics, such as body hair. At least in theory, if you block DHT you would have less body hair. I have heard and seen on several occasions patients stating they got less body hair after a […]
I have seen substantial growth from Propecia, and even a complete regrowth in the frontal area once or twice in my years in practice. Regrowth in the crown is much more common and expected in men under 30 years old. As for forums vs scientific data, well… let’s put it this way. If you got […]
I honestly don’t recall anything that would really qualify as a “miracle story” using your criteria of having major hair loss, yet the hair spontaneously regrows without treatment. If someone came in with a lot of miniaturization showing at a young age (late teens to 20s), I’d probably prescribe them Propecia… so there’d be a […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article at SunTimes.com I wonder at times if there is justice in this world and the lawyers do level the playing field. Based on the lawsuit, it sounds like this is one of those cases where the refund guarantee wasn’t worth anything and these consumers were out a […]
