waittosee,

Thanks for sharing these awesome photos! Your reaction to the medications is extremely positive and reminds me of my first reactions to them back when I first started taking them in 98 or so.

***DONT DO WHAT I DID***

which is get complacent with my new regrowth and stop using them. After I saw the astounding results I got, no one ever told me that I had to STAY on them to keep my results. What a shock! Within 5 months, maybe less, I was back to square one. Believe me, it is much harder to grow it back again after you've shed it that second time.

Keep up your regimen and keep us updated on your progress! You're back in business, baby!

-Robert

Waitosee,

Your results are simply amazing. I'm surprised by how much regrowth you got in your hairline with Propecia/minoxidil.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Pat

IMO there aren't enough pics posted with before and after progress for Propecia (and Minox). Great post! The results are nothing short of amazing.

Those of you younger posters/lurkers considering a HT.........seeing these results would prompt me to seriously consider trying this non-surgical alternative before jumping in the HT chair.

Waitosee - thanks for sharing your progress.............these are the BEST results I think I've ever seen.

I thought that my results were really good but yours are outstanding.

After 1 year do you still have hair regrowth ! ? ! I have read here that after 1 year you will fully see the results of propecia but I always thought that after that you just keep your hair and you do not regrowth anymore.

I am in my 10th month of propecia. Right now Im satisfied with my results but after looking at your pics I might have a chance to get even better !

Im 26 and just like everybody else here I wished really much that I would have started taking propecia when I all started when I was 23 ...

Hey Waittosee,
Ive been on propecia for 19 days and I see regrowth everywhere....my hairline is growing, and the view of my scalp is decreasing...Question, i believe I was thinning very badly causing me to look bald. Is it true that propecia will grow any hair as long as it is not completely lost?. Your results are so amazing, and Im glad it worked out for you. Seeing your results makes me siked for great results to come for me. Maybe its because were younger...Im 28. anyway, thanks for sharing...good luck for both of us! >Mike

Mikie,
I am 28 too and I got new hairs sprouted all over the head including the hairline within one and half month of using Finasteride. Now I am 4 months old using finasteride and those hairs are really growing. It is true that it works well on young guys. It normally stops the hairloss. But few will regrow hair. I guess you are also coming into the few lucky fellows category. Congrats and all the best.

-Jagdish
