Male pattern hair loss affects a significant number of men, leading many to seek effective treatments. One such treatment is finasteride, a medication that has been clinically proven to combat hair loss. At Sons, we offer finasteride as part of our comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
What is Finasteride?
Finasteride is an oral medication that works by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair follicle miniaturization in men genetically predisposed to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps to halt the progression of hair loss and can even promote regrowth in some cases.
Effectiveness of Finasteride
Clinical studies have demonstrated that finasteride is effective in stopping hair loss in approximately 90% of men, with 60% experiencing increased hair density. These results typically become noticeable after consistent use for three to six months.
Usage Guidelines
For optimal results, finasteride should be taken as a 1mg tablet once daily. Incorporating it into your daily routine—such as taking it with a meal or at a consistent time each day—can enhance adherence. Setting reminders may also be beneficial. It's important to maintain consistency, as discontinuing treatment can lead to the return of hair loss.
Potential Side Effects
While finasteride is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience side effects, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or mood changes. These occurrences are relatively rare, and the medication is considered safe for use in treating male pattern hair loss. At Sons, we collaborate closely with medical professionals to ensure the suitability of finasteride for each individual.
Combining Treatments for Enhanced Results
Combining finasteride with other treatments, such as minoxidil, can improve outcomes. Studies have shown that this combination is effective in stopping hair loss in 94% of men. Sons offers a Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil Spray that targets hair loss through multiple mechanisms, potentially leading to better results than using either treatment alone.
