Regrowth After Taking Finasteride

Finasteride is a very effective form of treatment routinely given to men experiencing male pattern hair loss and other alopecia conditions.

Once you’ve used the medication, how likely is it to see regrowth? And what other effects can you expect from Finasteride? Let’s look at the answers to these questions.

What is Finasteride?

Usually prescribed in its oral form, Finasteride is an FDA-approved medication that targets male pattern hair loss to try and halt the symptoms. Initially, the treatment was reserved for men battling prostate problems but excess hair growth was a reported side effect and studies concluded that, under the right dosage, it can work positively against male pattern hair loss.

There is a chance you could get Finasteride in its topical form as an alternative, which would need to be discussed with our prescribers. 

The severity of your hair loss will be ranked on the Norwood Scale and if you score a 2 or 3, this could be deemed the best approach for you. 

Will My Hair Regrow Using Finasteride?

The goal of Finasteride is to stop testosterone in your body from converting into DHT, a hormone that is responsible for the development of characteristics in men. However, DHT also has negative consequences, like contributing to hair loss when it’s excessively present on our scalps.

Limiting the amount of this hormone you’ll be subjected to means your hair loss should slow and hopefully stop altogether. But will regrowth occur?

Regrowth is possible after a long time of taking Finasteride as thicker and healthier strands should grow in place of your previously thinned hair. Finasteride promotes hair growth so it’s reasonable to believe that hair regrowth might occur if you stick to the dosage suggested and consistently consume it.

What to Expect with Finasteride

You need to be patient when it comes to Finasteride; after around 3 months, you should see the first signs of progress appear, even if some slight shedding occurs. Then after 6 months of continued use, more significant and promising signs will be on display. It’s not until about a year into the treatment that any regrowth will appear, but you must continue consuming it beyond this point as it might even happen later, if at all.

Finasteride works effectively in 80% of men but the chances of regrowth could be enhanced if you were to take the medication alongside other products Sons supplies, all of which can be bought in a bundle like the Full Works plan.
