Propecia functions by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. By reducing DHT levels, Propecia helps prevent further hair loss and may promote hair regrowth in men experiencing male pattern baldness.
Clinical studies have shown that Propecia is effective in slowing hair loss and promoting regrowth in men with mild to moderate hair thinning at the crown. Consistent use over several months is typically required before noticeable results are observed.
Users may begin to notice a reduction in hair loss after three to six months of daily use. However, it may take up to a year to see significant hair regrowth. Continuous use is essential to maintain the benefits, as discontinuation can lead to the return of hair loss.
Results after 6 months:
Many users experience a noticeable decrease in hair loss, with some observing initial signs of regrowth.
Results after 1 year:
Significant improvements in hair density and thickness are often reported, with continued prevention of further hair loss.
Results after 5 years:
Long-term use can lead to sustained hair density and, in some cases, continued gradual regrowth.
Propecia's active ingredient, finasteride, selectively inhibits the type II 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. This action decreases the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thereby reducing its concentration in the scalp and minimizing its detrimental effects on hair follicles.
While Propecia is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience side effects.
Common Side Effects:
Uncommon Side Effects:
Most side effects are reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. If any side effects persist or become bothersome, consult a healthcare professional.
