Hello, I'm 29 and coming up on 6 months of treatment on finasteride. When I started, I was a NW3 with a mildly thinning crown. So I started treatment fairly early before things got worse.
I've been a good responder to finasteride. I went through a few pretty good sheds in the initial three months of treatment...but since then, have seen nothing but improvement all over...including in the front. My hair just looks healthier and thicker all around in general. The single hairs that shed on occasion (into the sink, etc) are looking so much more noticeably thicker (I have dark hair, so it's easy to tell). It's really amazing (the 'naked eye' improvement I can see in those single strands).
My question is...when does finasteride max out? I'd say I'm getting closer to my old NW2, although still a little thin in the crown....but I'm reversing it for sure. Will it continue to get better? Could I get all the way back to my old NW1? I'm coming up on 6 months now (approx 15 days) and I'm finally seeing these legitimate results (after sheds and patience)...I hope improvement continues into months 9, 12, 18, and 24....and maybe beyond...
Are these reasonable expectations?
