How Finasteride stops hair loss.
It inhibits the production of an enzyme (type II 5-alpha reductase) that plays an important role in the development of DHT. The reduction in DHT stops the miniturisation of hair follicles and consequently stop hair loss.
Clinical Trial
Proscar, Propecia, Fincar, Finpecia, Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, Prosteride, Gefina, Finasterid IVAX, Finasterid Alternova In a 5-year study of men with mild to moderate hair loss, 48% of those treated with Propecia (finasteride 1mg) experienced some regrowth of hair, and a further 42% had no further loss. Average hair count in the treatment group remained above baseline, and showed an increasing difference from hair count in the placebo group, for all five years of the study. In clinical studies, Propecia, like minoxidil, was shown to work on both the crown area and the hairline, but is most successful in the crown area.

Treatment
Finasteride is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6-12 months of ceasing therapy. The clinical trials were based on men aged from 18-41 years old, who had mild or moderate hair loss at the crown and frontal areas. Hair growth was seen within in a period of 3 to 12 months. No studies have been carried out to test the effectiveness of Finasteride on individuals who are over 41 and who experienced severe hair loss.

Side - Effects
Around 1% of finasteride users experience side-effects: erectile dysfunction and gynecomsastia. Side-effects cease after the user stops medication, however this means that hair loss returns.

Finasteride reduces DHT production, this causes a rise in testosterone levels, because testosterone that would normally be converted into DHT remains testosterone. Continual high levels of testosterone in the body could possibly have negative side effects.

At the same time, artificially low levels of DHT is also harmful to the body. Men also produce a small amount of the female hormone estrogen. DHT works as an antagonist of estrogen, by reducing DHT with drugs, a man’s protection from the effects of estrogen may also be reduced. This could result in gynecomastia.

Been on minoxidil for about a year and a half and have not seen even the smallest amount of regrowth that i almost fell into depression.

My hair only started visibly growing on the balding spot after attempting the various natural techniques to re-grow lost hair for about 1 week plus @ http://rds.yahoo.com/**http%3a//www.regrowmyhair.info

I would highly recommend the website easy to follow step-by-step informative guide with pictures to anyone who is suffering from hair loss right now. But remember this isn’t a miracle cure for baldness as you will also need to put in some effort in order to see results. And its only a minimum commitment of 15 minutes a day to help re-grow your lost hair. ( Sorry that I can’t share the various natural techniques taught as i might be sued for copyright violation )

I am also convinced that a natural approach is a much more safer way of re-growing lost hair compared to those unnatural ways which may involve harsh chemicals that may have serious side effects.

** Please note that this guide WILL NOT help you if u r a LAZY PERSON who got no desire or motivation trying to understand and applying the techniques taught.
