Hair loss changes are typically noticed over months or years, not days, and treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil require time to show effects. People often overreact to daily shedding, but realistic expectations and patience are necessary for hair regrowth treatments.

Finasteride changed the user's hair texture from wavy to curly, reverting after stopping. Minoxidil was more effective for temple hair regrowth than finasteride.

Finasteride mainly prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT but doesn't reverse existing damage, while minoxidil can promote regrowth by waking dormant follicles. Ketoconazole helps with inflammation, but none of these treatments can reverse fibrosis or structural changes around hair follicles.

The user shared their positive experience with finasteride for hair loss, noting improved hairline and reduced hair fall without major side effects, except for acne. They expressed concerns about potential facial structure changes but concluded there were none.

The FDA policy change may speed up approval for hair loss drugs like PP405, VDPHL-01, and Breezula by potentially eliminating the need for a second confirmatory Phase 3 trial. Approval timelines could be as early as 2028 for some treatments if Phase 3 results are strong.
