Propecia is the most prescribed hair restoration supplement by hair transplant surgeons. It is the only hair loss treatment FDA approved to be safe to use for male pattern baldness. Although considered a safe product, some patients have experienced a few side effects.

What are the chances of the scar widening and becoming more visible?
