Propecia® (Finasteride) has been available to buy within the UK since 1997 and is the first and only oral medication to be approved for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. This treatment for a condition which is thought to effect up to 25% of the male population is effective in around 99% of men at both preventing further hair loss, as well generating new growth on both the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp areas.
You can expect to see results in as little as 3 months of using Propecia, with hair growth likely to begin in around 6-12 months. Although this treatment may not work for everyone, many people who use it have achieved dramatic hair growth, with many of these having a full head of hair within 5 years of using the medication.
How does Propecia work?
Propecia contains the active ingredient Finasteride, which is a medication known as a type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which works to prevent the conversion of testosterone in to the considerably stronger hormone dihydrotestosterone. This hormone, also known as DHT, is formed on the scalp when testosterone and the enzyme type II 5-alpha reductase react with each other. The hormone which is created as a result then gets into the hair follicles and works to damage and shrink them, preventing visible hair from growning. As Propecia helps to inhibit this process the amount of DHT on both the scalp, this cycle can be reversed allowing hair to grow once more.
Propecia is taken orally once a day and must be taken for as long as you wish to keep the results that you have achieved from using this treatment. These results can be expected within 3 months of taking treatment, with a slowing down and prevention of further hair loss being initially experienced. Soon after, within 6-12 months, it is possible for hair to re-grow and within 5 years this can result in a full head of hair, depending on how well you react with this treatment.
Will Propecia work for me?
Propecia has been proven to work in around 99% of men suffering with male pattern hair loss. Out of these, around 2 out of 3 will experience hair growth, with the majority of remaining patients successfully preventing any further loss of hair. Propecia has been designed specifically to work on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp area, there is currently no evidence to suggest that this treatment will work to prevent or restore a receding hair of the temporal area on both sides of the head, however it has been thought that Propecia may be effective in other areas for some patients.
What are the possible side effects of Propecia?
Like all prescription products, Propecia may cause side effects. In American clinical studies, side effects from Propecia were uncommon and did not affect most men. A small number of men experienced side effects, approximately 2% of all those who took part in clinical trials of the drug. Any side effects experienced were low in severity and often subside within the first few days of treatment, leaving you to continue your course of Propecia without any adverse reactions or unpleasant side effects.
