Propecia and Hair Loss
Start
Propecia (generic name Finasteride), the first and only pill to treat Androgenetic Alopecia, was developed to treat Male Pattern Hairloss in the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area. Propecia is proven to maintain or increase hair count in most men.
What type of results should be expected from Propecia?
Propecia (Finasteride) begins to block the formation of DHT immediately. However, because hair grows slowly, visible results from Propecia take some time. Most men may begin to see the first benefit of Propecia-slowing hair loss- as early as 3 months. In clinical studies, it was not just ‘peach fuzz’ but real hair growth on both vertex and anterior mid-scalp area. Propecia must be continued to maintain any beneficial results. If you cease treatment, any hair you have gained is likely to be lost within 12 months.
