Time to tell effect of treatment?

[Private Ryan]

anyone know normally how long will you experience whether changes in your treatment have any effect on your hair loss?

is it true that any changes in your treatment, the effect can only be know in about 4weeks or more later? this is what i read somewhere saying that your hair present condition is what you have been doing 4weeks ago.

thanks!

You need to give treatments at least 12 months before determining effectiveness.

Not necessarily. Sometimes people can respond early. 12 months is the rule of thumb for deciding that something is INEFFECTIVE and therefore not worth spending hard-earned dough on.

Although all this varies greatly from one person to another, using the one year mark to definitively gauge the effectiveness of drugs such as Finasteride or Dutasteride may still be premature - with both drugs my best results came after 14 months.

I must say, despite my pessimisitic state of affiars (receded hairline since this time last year when I began, now even thinning at the sides of the remaining "V" suggesting it'll turn into a "U" - and yes I really will have to stop using letters to illustrate my hairline!) I could understand 14 months being the point of no return and maybe only then move on.

Even but a few months ago I had a comparativly 'good' hairline and frontal region. Within the last couple of months it's really really seemed to me to have weakened.

I'm thinking this is just another shed. So it might thicken up a bit in the coming months.
I'm researching into Tricomin though for another possible angle on hair loss though as I'm sure it couldn't hurt.
