Will finasteride hold my hair?
I’m in a bit of a predicament now. I can feel my hair getting thinner over the past year, but visually, my hair density still looks somewhat the same as before. If I were to take a picture right now, no one would even suspect I’m thinning because I still have a full head of hair. In fact the dermatologist I visited just took a look without using a trichoscan thought I was crazy and just prescribed me Minox unwillingly.
From what I have seen here, almost everyone hopped on Fin only when they start to see visible thinning. I haven’t come across anyone who has a head of hair on Fin. Despite people saying that prevention is the best, it seems that people only start medication once thinning becomes noticeable?
Finasteride has been shown to slow hair loss significantly when compared with men who didn’t take it. The spread between the two groups last years, showing that people who lose hair on finasteride lose it slower than they would have had they not taken in. Another way to look at it is that men on finasteride kept their hair longer over more than a decade than men who didn’t take it. Here is the graph that shows this: https://baldingblog.com/5-year-growth-plotted-with-propecia-compared-to-control-group/
