Good result from finasteride alone

It is unusual for 30 year old men to reverse hair loss on finasteride alone. This man may have experienced a late onset hairline recession which would more likely reverse.

The message is simple. Some men, with appropriate medications and dedication, can get their hair back, These are, however, lifetime commitments.

This man shaved his head so that he could tell the benefits of finasteride better with photos. He had restoration of much of the crown and some or the frontal hairs. This is not unusual in most men responds better in the crown.

I have been taking minoxidil 5% on my hairline for 1 year and I wanted to ask you if you think that adding finasteride will help grow more hair?

Adding finasteride will only add potentially more benefit. What you already got from minoxidil over one year is remarkable and unusual.

Amazing results from finasteride on the frontal hairline which is not common.

It is interesting that you are filling in suggesting that some of the miniaturization is reversing but the drug has not impacted your hair line regrowth.

I believe it is much better after a year. What do you think doctor?

Because your hair is curly and you can’t replicate the exact same hair style and hair length, you must use subjective evidence of the value of the year on minoxidil unless you were checked with the HAIRCHECK test (https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/) which will give you a clear measurement of what has happened to your hair over the past year. Everyone who cares about their hair should do this if you are going to take the time and spend the money on saving your hair. See this post: https://baldingblog.com/follow-haircheck-test-5-years/
