How long does it take to regrow the lost hair with Finasteride?

Question

Hello there. I am Ajay. I am 22 years old now. I am taking Finasteride 1 mg tablets from the past one and half month and I want to know how much time it takes to regrow the lost hair and how much time it takes to thicken the hair? I am not bald but I lost hair at temples area and I have small vellus hair below the hair line, Is it those vellus hairs grow thicker if I continue to use these finasteride?? Please suggest me

Jay Goldstein, MD · Answer

Generally it takes 3-4 months of intervention to show results from any hair loss treatment. I would also mention that in a young male, Finasteride has serious sexual sequelae in many males and would not be my first choice for you. You should read up on this and reconsider your treatment.

If you get good regrowth from finasteride which is not uncommon in a 22 year old, it usually can be seen nicely by one year
