Propecia - How long does propecia start to work.

It can take up to 3 months to see improvement. I suggest seeing an expert to evaluate your hair loss and consider the best treatment options. Propecia works best in combination with other non-invasive options like PRP/progesterone or transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Matthewr,It takes about 3 months for propecia to slow the hair loss, and 6-12 months before you see re-growth in the fortunate who have such a response. That is seen in 26% of men who mostly re-grow in the crown area.Sincerely, Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Approximately 3 to 4 months on average before you see results however sometimes longer. Be patient because a full result takes approximately a year.

Propecia is in your blood stream as soon as you begin taking it.  However, it takes about 3-4 months before it begins to take effect and slow the progression of hair loss.  Be patient, it will take about 6-9 months to see the full effect of the drug.  Also remember, not seeing changes, or more hair is still good news because you are not losing hair - That is the biggest benefit of the drug!

finasteride works pretty quickly usually for most patients in the first 2-4 weeks of daily use. However, the full effect of the medication will take at least 6 months, even up to 12 months.

Most will notice results after the first 8 months. You will need to continue taking it for continued benefit.

This drug starts to work fairly quickly but you might not see the results for 6-12 months while the hair grows out and the miniaturized hairs reverse
