Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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

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

Gregory Michael Bazell, MD · Answer

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.
