How
long does it take to see results from any hair loss
treatment program?
A:
At least 2-3 months, though usually significantly longer.
Many do not notice any apparent improvements until
well after a year. Best results are often seen after
the two-year mark. This is because hair follicles undergo
a relatively long dormancy period in between hair growth
cycles (usually about 3 months). In addition, hair
only grows about 1/2 inch per month in non-thinning
areas and usually considerably slower in thinning areas.
Since it generally takes several cycles of growth/fallout/regrowth,
with the hair getting thicker and longer each time,
it can take a great deal of time to see noticeable
improvement. Note that best regrowth results are seen
with hair that was lost within the last five years
and in areas of the scalp in which there is still some
fine hair. |
