Why Finasteride & Minoxidil is the most effective hair loss combo

Why Finasteride?

Finasteride is a medicine that inhibits the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a role in the development of male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. By inhibiting this enzyme, Finasteride reduces the amount of DHT in the body, particularly in the scalp, slowing or even reversing hair loss in some users. 

Benefits of Finasteride: 

• Lowers the production of DHT, one of the main causes of hair loss. 
• Stabilises hair loss and promotes hair growth. 
• Clinically proven effective in treating men with genetic hair loss.  

Why Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a topical solution used to promote hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia. By applying Minoxidil to the scalp, the hair follicles are stimulated, which may help prolong the anagen phase (growth phase) of the hair growth cycle. Minoxidil's vasodilatory properties are thought to play a key role in promoting hair density and reducing hair loss. 

Benefits of Minoxidil: 

• May stimulate hair growth by prolonging the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. 
• Reduces hair loss in people with genetic hair loss. 
• Clinically studied for effectiveness and proven to deliver results in men and women with androgenic alopecia.   

Why the most effective hair loss combo?

The combined treatment with Finasteride and Minoxidil tackles hair loss in two ways: 

• Finasteride reduces DHT production, which is a major cause of androgenic alopecia.  
• Minoxidil may stimulate hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles and increasing the anagen phase of the hair cycle (although the exact mechanisms are currently unknown). 

Research shows that a combined Finasteride and Minoxidil treatment has better results than using either treatment alone. A systemic review found that a combined treatment worked synergistically in many users to support healthier, fuller hair and slow down a receding hairline. 

How to maximise the effects of your combined treatment

To get the most of your treatment, it is important to follow this routine: 

1. Once daily Finasteride (usually 1 mg) – an oral tablet that lowers DHT production. 
2. Twice daily Minoxidil (5%) – apply to the scalp for maximum results. 
3. Patience and consistency – Users can expect to see results after three to six months of regular use, although it may take up to a year for optimal effects. 
4. Healthy lifestyle – A balanced diet and a good hair care routine are crucial to optimise results.
