Regrowing my hair with Propecia

11-12-2019, 01:42 PM

I have been taking this drug every night for about five months, with the exception of one night in October when I forgot to take it. I'm not sure if I am seeing any results yet, but I expect I will by the time nine full months have gone by. And if not, I will keep taking it anyway, because it might take a longer amount of time to work for me. There was a study done in which sixty-six percent of men taking Propecia experienced hair regrowth at the vertex (top of the head). I have also seen before and after pics of men who took Propecia and had hair regrowth in the front area of the scalp. I'm probably going to take this drug for the rest of my life because it also prevents hair loss in men.

*UPDATE*

I have been getting positive comments about hair thickening / regrowth in the upper back region of my scalp. I looked at the area recently and saw for myself. Now I am just waiting to see real progress in the front area of my scalp above my forehead. I anticipate it will not show until I have been taking the Propecia for at least nine full months. I have been taking it for a little more than five months, so far...

It takes years for any real hair to grow back. Are you seeing the little fine "baby" hairs growing?

Have you considered using topical propecia? The type you rub on your head nightly? It seems to have better results. My husband uses it too- he has small hairs growing back where there were none, but he uses it topically.

I think I have been seeing two fine little hairs on the front of my scalp. The study I mentioned was actually a two-year study; so, like you said, it will probably take at least two years for me to see real results there.

I have been taking one Propecia pill each night; I think the pill form will work better for me. Thanks for your input.

**UPDATE**

I have been on Propecia for a little more than 10 months. I can see fine miniature hairs on the left front side of my scalp, where previously there were none. The results aren't really noticeable right now, but I expect they will be in another couple of years...

It's been more than nineteen months, and I am still not seeing the results I am looking for. It seems the Propecia has halted my hair loss, and I have experienced hair regrowth on the upper back portion of my scalp; but I am especially looking for hair regrowth on the front portion of my scalp. I am guessing it will take at least another two years for me to see results there.

It's been almost twenty-two months. I am still not seeing the results I am looking for, but I will keep taking the drug anyway.

It's been close to thirty-five months. I am still not seeing the results I am looking for. Perhaps I should double my dose. I have read that taking more than the recommended amount will not improve results. However, I am starting to wonder about the validity of that statement...

I have been on Propecia for more than three years. Still not seeing the results I am looking for, but I have seen results. That is, the prevention of further progression of my androgenetic alopecia. I have also experienced hair regrowth in the upper back of my scalp. Will I ever see hair regrowth in the front of my scalp?
