How effective was propecia at regrowing you hairline?

[Iopu]

My hairline is quite bad. What could I expect from propecia? The rest of my hair isn't thinning. But my hairline may become even worse.

I'm 25 and my hair loss started about 2 years ago. I will probably will get on finasteride soon. I tried just rogaine alone first. It's been 6 weeks and it hasn't really done anything yet.

I guess I gained about 20% density around my hairline when I was on it

I disagree a little with the above poster.

I don't think it matters how long ago you were having problems, it is more about what your hair looks like now and your expectations. For instance, if you experienced hair loss 5 years ago but it stabilised and it's no worse, then you could achieve good results; on the flip-side if you experienced aggressive hair loss a year ago, where you are now a NW4 (unlikely obviously), then finasteride will probably not bring you back to NW0.

Well, i'll try it and see what happens. My Gp would'nt give it to me. It's a bit harder to get here in Ireland. I am waiting til the end of the month. For an appointment with a hair loss clinic that does prescribe it.

Yeah the less bad your hair loss is though the harder it is to convince an ignorant doctor to prescibe you propecia because it says your hair is fine get out of my office
