Real results from our patients
Hair loss affects up to 50% of men by age 50. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), caused by genetic sensitivity to DHT hormone.
Testosterone converts to DHT, which shrinks hair follicles and shortens the growth cycle.
Hair loss typically starts at the temples and crown, gradually spreading over years.
Finasteride blocks DHT production. Minoxidil stimulates blood flow to follicles.
Most effective treatment for male pattern baldness
Blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, preventing further hair follicle shrinkage.
Topical treatment to stimulate hair growth
Applied directly to scalp, increases blood flow to hair follicles and extends the growth phase.
Studies show that using both treatments together provides the best results for hair regrowth and prevention.
Finasteride prevents hormone conversion
Minoxidil stimulates follicle growth
