I have been on minoxidil for about 3 months and I was wondering about how long it takes to see some significant improvements. Is it like propecia in that you should wait for 1 year to assess it?
Most people reach the maximum benifit in 1 year, and start seeing fuzz in reduced shedding in 2-4 months.
Propecia does NOT have it's maximum benifit in a year. That is just the average hair count on the graft. If you look at the group that was on placebo and switched to propecia after a year, they took 3 years to reach the maximum. Probably the sooner you start, the less time it takes from then to reach maximum.
