Anyone here start finasteride in their late 40s?

Hi everyone, I posted my story earlier in the My Story section but wanted to ask here too since this board seems more active.
I am 48 and started thinning in my mid 30s. It has gotten worse over the last few years and I am finally thinking about trying finasteride.
I keep wondering if starting this late can still make a difference or if it just helps to slow down the loss at this point.
For anyone who began in their 40s or even 50s, what kind of results did you actually see?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences before I decide. Thanks.

If it just slows it down that is a win.

I started in my early forties. Topical Finasteride. I only took Minoxidil before that.

Appreciate it guys. Slowing it down would already be a win for me.

Thanks, man. I can’t use topicals, but glad it worked for you.

You mentioned a bald spot…how is your hairline and general density doing?
