    Impressive Finasteride Results

    I have recently been on Dr. Robert Bernstein's website and he has compiled a page devoted to results from Finasteride. It shows a lot of different levels of hair loss. Ranging in age from age eighteen to fifty-seven with some very impressive results. Look under in the medications section. I think sometimes it helps us if we see some positive proof.

    Wow, some of those are really impressive results. Occasionally guys on the forums pop up with results like that. Some of those are quite typical of the good responders who thicken up at the top of the head but the medication stops short of doing anything at the hairline.
    If only everyone could have such an experience with fin.

        In thirty years of following this industry, finasteride (Propecia) IMHO has been the most effective med in slowing down the effects of MPB. And in some cases as a few of you have noted, have even had a reverse effect on the progression of genetic hairloss.

            I think propecia nearly always works. But, sometimes it works by saving what you'd lose, in which case the customer notices nothing until they stop the medicine and then they catch up with where they'd originally would have progressed to. And sometimes it really grows alot of new hair.

            The problem is that you don't know which you'll be until after you take it for a year or so, and a few people get those dreaded side effects.

            I know, I had them.

              The meds are the secret to most great success stories. Proscar is most certainly the secret to my personal success as it has enabled me to stop the loss, bulk up the mid/crown and hit the front via HT.

              After meds and HT

                      Propecia is great stuff. It is unfortunate that it gets such a bad rap.

                            What I have noticed across the board with finasteride is that the earlier men get started on it for treating hairloss, the better chances there are for regrowth. Men who are post 40 years of age generally experience their hairloss stabilizing, but few note any regrowth. There are always exceptions. I started cutting Proscar in 1996 at the age of 41 and been using it ever since. To this day my hairloss is still relatively stable so I am thankful for that. The reason I say "relatively" is because it is still growing back in after recovering from some heavy chemo-therapy.
