Feeling the effects of male pattern baldness? You’re not alone. In the UK, over 7 million men are suffering from hair loss and many feel that there’s nothing that can be done about it. In a modern world that still clings to taboo subjects such as male balding, it can be tough for men to open up and confront the problem face-to-face. Just a few decades ago many men would have ignored the issue and suffered in silence. Thankfully, there is a solution - finasteride.
The compound was approved back in 1997 by the FDA and has gradually become one of the most essential tools when it comes to fighting male hair loss. Various clinical trials have shown that finasteride results can be truly remarkable. One study states that 80% of men found that finasteride stopped hair loss, while 66% of that group were shown to have improvements in their hair growth after just two years of consistent finasteride use. As you can see, finasteride results have the potential to be very successful.
Even so, these results don’t come about overnight. Finasteride still takes time to get into its groove. Men who start taking finasteride should see impressive results after around 12 months of use. If you’re in it for the long-haul, finasteride results after more than two years still manage to astound us. With commitment, regular use and supplementation, finasteride results can be life-changing. So, to help speed things up, we’ve got together a few ways you can maximise your finasteride results.
Consistency
Consistency is crucial when it comes to following your treatment plan. Even skipping a few days could affect the quality of your results. The odd day here and there might not seem like a lot, but they eventually add up. We recommend talking finasteride alongside another part of your daily routine so you can stay on top of your usage. Before you go to bed at night, after you’ve brushed your teeth or alongside your daily lunch are all great routines to attach your finasteride to. Alternatively, you could set up a daily reminder on your phone to be extra sure.
Head massages
If you’ve never had a head massage, you’re missing out. Not only are they relaxing, but there’s also scientific evidence that proves scalp massages improve finasteride results. Researchers in Japan discovered that a four-minute scalp massage every day over a 6 month period improved finasteride results significantly. Hair became thicker and growth was stimulated as a result of these regular massages. Scientists are still unsure as to why a simple scalp massage has such an effect, but many believe that the skin is softened and blood flow increases as a result. If you can get your partner to give you a relaxing massage, it’s a win-win in our books.
Additional treatment
While finasteride is a remarkable drug in itself, boosting your hair growth with other compounds increases your chances of achieving some incredible results. Alongside finasteride, our treatment plans include biotin, minoxidil and DHT-blocking shampoo to create an all-round package that enhances your hair.
Minoxidil is another FDA approved medical treatment that works synergistically with finasteride by increasing blood blow to the scalp, allowing the tablet to reach the site of action. Biotin is taken in pill form and has been shown to improve the infrastructure of the essential protein keratin in the body. Finally, our DHT-blocking shampoo contains saw palmetto extract that, when used daily, reduces the levels of DHT in your scalp. If you’re looking for some successful finasteride results, these three additional products in our treatment plans are sure to get you on the right track.
Finasteride is one of the most powerful tools we have to stop male hair loss, but it will inevitably take some time to start seeing the results of consistent use. Despite this, there are still ways to make your results even more successful. If you’re looking to get your hair back to its best, our treatment plans, with finasteride included, are made for you.
