community Most studies seem to say the vast majority of increase in hair count occurs in the first 12 weeks, why does everyone say you need to wait years to know whether fin/dut are working?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 66 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can show initial hair count increases within 12 weeks, but visible improvements often take longer, with many users reporting noticeable changes after a year or more. While early results may be seen under a microscope, significant cosmetic improvements typically require more time for hair to thicken and become visibly denser.

cosmetic product that temporarily makes hair appear thicker

learn Stemoxydine

Can stemoxydine help improve hair density in both men and women? Stemoxydine is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair loss drug, and the manufacturer's three-month trials enrolled men only, reporting a small increase in measured hair density. One small uncontrolled study that included women reported improvement in both sexes but more in men, so a benefit for women is not established.
