TLDR Finasteride effectively treats frontal hair loss with few side effects.
Finasteride is a safe and effective treatment for frontal male pattern hair loss in men, promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss in the frontal scalp area. Studies have shown significant improvements in hair count and appearance, with few side effects. The treatment is well-tolerated and can be effective for up to 24 months. However, some men may experience sexual side effects.
