There is zero difference.

It's difficult to say from those pictures. Any slight difference in your hairline could be attributed to the difference in lighting, for instance.

Are you sure it's male pattern baldness?

I think there is a slight difference and that on the left (as you look at the picture) you have new hairs coming out and a slight thickening (very slight) overall. Just my opinion and also like the member states above, give it more time for sure.

how long mate?

A year (not a joke).

Yep. A year is correct. It takes time to regrow hair just like it took to lose it. The average time to see results with any treatment is between 7 month to 1 year.

People, don´t forget the question. The question was "is finasteride working"?
Well, I say yes. You have maintained your hair. Finasteride first objective is to stop further loss. It happens with 90% of the users, and with you, I believe that happened.
Some lucky folks (about 48%) get a second benefit of the drug - regrow some hair. But if that doesn´t happen, it doesn´t mean that the drug isn´t working!

The only way to tell with certainty is if you quit the drug - if you have shedding after, it means FInasteride worked (and that hair would be the hair finasteride dependent).


Cheers

 

[kthxbi]

youve definitely maintained and the left side looks a bit thicker to me. but as has been said, give it a year before you make any judgements.
