Will the hair that falls out whilst taking Finasteride recycle back in? (Photo)

Question

I've been taking finasteride for 5 months and my question is Im Still losing hair in the same pattern as I was before I started taking it..no more and no less...will the hairs that are falling out whilst on finasteride cycle back in or are they completely gone because none of them Seem to be growing back at all and my scalps looking really thin.?? I'm 42 years old..Thanks Marcus

Finasteride shows its results in long term use. The hair will grow back eventually but it is also important where the shedding is and what's your scale on Norwood.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

There is initial hair shedding with Finasteride and it will take up to 6 months to see results. You will need to keep using it to maintain your results. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone which can help with hair regrowth and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Sometimes the hairs shed that you might see when taking finasteride will reverse given time but there is no such assurance here in this post
