Sorry nesta, I disagree. I think that once you stop the miniaturation process, the follicle can sustain a larger hair in length and diameter. Propecia not only stops miniaturization, but also increases hair counts in the majority of men who use it, I would guess that spironolactone would do have the same effect, as it also inhibits DHT. this would probably take anywhere from 6 to 12 months, just like propecia.
