If Propecia/Finasteride is not likely to work well for your hair loss, why take it? Scientific studies show that finasteride/Propecia has a stronger therapeutic effect on some people than others. Non-invasive genetic testing can predict your chances of a significant response to finasteride/propecia. A private consultation with Dr. Bauman is the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for genetic testing and/or treatment. The finasteride/propecia response test can be send directly to you with instructions or performed at the time of consultation in-office.
