Some take aways from this video:

- Stabilization of the hair loss process starts immediately after taking the first pill! DHT is reduced in hours.
- 4 to 6 Months. That's the time it takes to see improvement.
- A hair that falls off today doesn't grow for another 3 months
- When a hair undergoes miniaturization over 50% of the hairs thickness, it won't be able to grow back, just to maintain its current growth
- 16% of patients experience significant improvement over 1 yr, but 36% over 2 yrs. Patience is key.
- The main benefit of finasteride is stabilization of male pattern hair loss. Thickening is a bonus.
- There are no real areas of more effectiveness (front, crown...) for finasteride, that's a myth. Hair will get best results in areas where the thinning process is less prominent.
- The two major classes of medical treatment for male pattern baldness are blockers (fin) and stimulators (minoxidil). The key is the blocking (fin).

Wow. These videos are more informative than any information I have found on the internet about MPB. You guys are awesome!

Thanks so much for the price less information. There are so much BS out there when it comes to hair loss treatment, it's so relieving to have a reliable source of information like you guys. Please keep doing what you're doing, it's helping me and so many other guys out there.

This show has been so informative, you guys and MPMD have done so much for us balding guys.

Wow, this channel is a BLESSING to people experiencing hair loss!

I have just started finasteride 1mg per day. I feel better because I am taking action to protect my hair, whereas before, I felt helpless. My only regret is that I did not start sooner. I let the bottle of pills sit in the cabinet for months because I was so alarmed at the horror stories on the internet. I am glad I started and am on my first week.

[malharjajoo]

Im surprised at how accurate this is. I have been on finasteride for 9 months by now and its no miracle, its just like you have described .. the quality may improve but quantity wont.

[Joefromthevalley]

Glad to be on finesteride. I really don't want to lose my hair, and since 2019, I've seen it get thinner and my metabolism slow down. Getting closer to 30 has been a bit rougher than I expected.

I'm 28 and noticed a few weeks ago my hairline at my forehead looked thin. Caught this early and started taking Finasteride. Talked to my Dermatologist and he said realistically you'll restrengthen what currently exists. I'm fortunate that I haven't lost much but the name of the game is that if you want to keep your hair then you need to get in front of the issue as soon as possible. I'm okay with thinner hair and stopping the damage - it was naturally thicker than what I wanted. This is a highly informative show and it tells you a lot about Australian healthcare vs. the US. It's amazing how better outcomes can be achieved when marketing and profits come second to numbers, science, and the patient's well-being

This show is incredibly helpful and needs to be advertised to every single grown man that can be reached.

Almost a year on finasteride, your videos and other youtubers helped me pull the trigger. I am a NW 1.5 (not totally bald in hairline just some thinning so there is hope for REGROWTH) so I still have a good head of hair and my hair feel much healthier and thicker. Before I took finasteride, the hair seemed so sensitive and when I brushed it with my hand it felt weak. I am so glad I did, no sides for me thus far. :) thank you.
I fear to think what it would be like if I waited another year or two.... only regret is that I didn’t start even earlier but I feel that I am rather lucky in that I didn’t wait all that long.

Finasteride is such a scary thing, well based on what people have been saying on Google etc. You guys really explain everything so well and it actually helped me make a decision to start taking Finasteride. I have been taking Minoxidil and Finasteride since the start of the year and honestly, the results for me have been astonishing! My receding hair has stopped completely, and even started to grow back! All the hair I have is thicker and looks in better condition. The pigment of my hair shaft is darker, they are more dense and thicker! I did a whole video about my experience after 6 months of treatment and I can't wait to see what it will be like after a year! Thanks for giving me the courage to start Finasteride!

55 years old.I started and have continued on Finasteride for about 13 years now. The Doctor took a picture of my thinning hair before I started Finasteride. I recently had another picture taken by the same Doctor. I could not believe the change! My hair now looks like what it looked like 20 years ago.I didn't realized the difference Finasteride had made until I saw the before and after pics! When he showed me the" before pic" I actually asked him who is that? (forgetting how thin my hair was)

Finally a video you can rely on. Just feel the honesty and professionalism, that´s something hard to find on this topic.

This is THEE best video I’ve seen on Finasteride and hair loss

[kvantaliani]

you guys are so good - i wonder why i found you randomly just now and NOT when i was searching material for finasteride.
Thank you folks for your content ❤️

[masoudmuhammad]

Thanks for the video (the hair loss show). Good informations and it really helps a lot of people that are experiencing male pattern baldness. You guys are awesome and continue the good work!!!

[BigBen]

I don't know why I didn't look for this channel sooner. Luckily I'm only 20 so there's hope, I've been reading about fin on reddit and the internet which has created an anxiety around taking the pill for me but starting first of September I'll be taking 1mg 3 times a week, thanks to you two doctors. Much love from South Africa
