42% of the men in the trial who had taken Finasteride experienced renewed hair growth in areas where they had started balding, another 48% of the men involved in the trial period noticed that their hair loss had ceased and that no more hair had fallen out. Overall, 90% of the men who were taking the clinical trial experienced positive results and effects from the treatment.
The five-year clinical trials involving Finasteride not only showed the conclusion that it is a successful hair loss solution for men who are suffering with male pattern baldness but that it also improved the overall condition of their hair with many saying that it was noticeably thicker and stronger.
How does Finasteride work for hair loss?
Finasteride is used as a long-term method of decreasing the effects of DHT* on hair follicles. It has a very high success rate for those suffering with mild/moderate levels of hair loss but is required to be taken for several months before any effects are seen.
*DHT is the more commonly known terminology for dihydrotestosterone. Genetic baldness is caused by a disorder that causes individual hair follicles to become sensitive to DHT and as a result of this, they start to shrink, weaken and eventually die which in turn causes the hair loss.
