When to expect hair growth results
It’s about commitment. You will need to take PROPECIA male pattern hair loss treatment, for as long as you want to grow or maintain your hair.
It's important to stick with PROPECIA for at least 12 months to judge how well it's working for your hair loss.
But don’t worry. Unlike some other commitments in your life, you’ll never come home to find PROPECIA has rearranged your wardrobe and thrown out all your old t-shirts.
After 5 years of hair loss treatment:
90% of men had visible results (hair growth or no further hair loss).
- 48% (134 of 279) had hair regrowth with PROPECIA
- 42% (117 of 279) had no further hair loss with PROPECIA
- 10% (28 of 279) had a visible decrease of hair
(In the same study after 5 years of treatment with PROPECIA male hair loss treatment among 279 men. Results based on global photographic assessment of the top of the head by an independent panel of dermatologists.)
Study Design
To find out if PROPECIA does really work for men with male pattern hair loss, two 1-year clinical trials were conducted on 1,553 men with mild to moderately severe male pattern hair loss on top of the head. The study was continued in 1,215 men in up to four, 1-year double-blind, placebo controlled extension studies.
Stick with it to see hair growth results
Although some men notice a difference in hair growth in as little as 3 months of starting treatment, most men have to use PROPECIA for at least 6 months before seeing visible results.
PROPECIA can work over the long term only if you continue taking it. If you stop taking it you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping the male hair loss treatment.
