The facts are that 30% of men in their early thirties are affected by hair loss. Two out of three men who use Propecia for one to two years have benefitted from the drug and either prevented further hair loss or have experienced regrowth.
It really is a miracle cure for hair loss but it is not available on the NHS despite having a success rate of 80%. The drug is taken by 800,000 men over 38 countries. Once treatment commences, one must continue to take the drug every day indefinitely. It works by suppressing an enzyme that changes testosterone into DHT which inhibits hair growth.
Sometimes people get confused with alopecia which actually refers to a form of baldness which in many cases is extreme. Losing an unusual amount of hair and losing it suddenly means that there is something wrong and that one should go for tests. This is very different to male pattern baldness which is an inevitable consequence of ageing in men and often too, due to a hormone issue in certain men at any age. Many men will experience the beginnings of hair loss in their late twenties and early thirties.
