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. But there's no need to ignore the issue and hope it goes away, Sons offer clinically-proven treatments to halt further hair loss and promote regrowth.
Thankfully, there is a solution - Finasteride.
The compound was approved back in 1997 by the FDA and has gradually become one of the main treatments when it comes to fighting male hair loss. Various clinical trials have shown that Finasteride help prevent further hair loss and promote regrowth of stronger, thicker hair. 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. With commitment, regular use and supplementation, Finasteride can stabilise or even reverse hair thinning, to help you get a fuller head of hair. But to make sure you're getting the most possible from your Finasteride treatment, we’ve put 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 taking 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 with breakfast 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 may promote hair growth alongside Finasteride. 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 results. Our treatment plans also 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 flow 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 structure of the essential protein keratin in the body. Finally, our Strengthening Shampoo contains saw palmetto extract that, when used daily, helps reduce 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.
