Androgenetic Alopecia: Hair Loss Effectively Stopped with 1 mg Finasteride

In this clinical trial from 1999, the effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia were studied. The researchers found that finasteride, when taken at a dosage of 1 mg, effectively halted hair loss in the subjects. The study demonstrated that finasteride reduced scalp and serum DHT levels, which are associated with hair loss, thereby slowing the progression of androgenetic alopecia. The specific number of participants was not mentioned in the document.
