When using Finasteride and/or Minoxidil treatments for hair loss, it may take up to 3-6 months before you start to notice any early signs of visible results.
Finasteride & Minoxidil start working as soon as you begin using the medications. This means that you will start blocking the conversion of testosterone and have lower DHT levels as soon as the first dose of Finasteride gets into your system. However, your hair grows through a gradual, multi-phase process that’s referred to as the hair growth cycle. This means that even though Finasteride & Minoxidil start working immediately, you shouldn’t expect to see any visible changes in your hair for several months, even if you are using the medication consistently as directed. Rest assured that Finasteride & Minoxidil are actively working long before you can see the results.
When looking for early signs of visible progress, you can expect to see small, thin hairs appearing, similar to baby hairs. These should get thicker and darker over time, and become similar in appearance to your other hairs. Please be advised that the full results of Finasteride & Minoxidil can usually be expected after 9-12 months of consistent treatment.
