Hair loss can be caused by genetics, hormones (especially DHT), stress, certain medications, or underlying health issues. The most common cause in men is androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).
Yes, both finasteride and minoxidil are generally safe when used as directed. Finasteride and minoxidil are topical solutions which are used to treat hair loss.
Some men using finasteride may experience decreased libido, erectile issues, or mood changes (though side effects are rare and often reversible). Minoxidil may cause scalp irritation or dryness in some users.
This depends on your goals and how advanced your hair loss is. Many men see the best results using both finasteride and minoxidil together. A healthcare provider can help tailor the right approach for you.
Finasteride is more effective at preventing further hair loss, while minoxidil can help with regrowth, particularly around the crown. Together, they offer a powerful combination for managing hair loss.
Topical minoxidil is available over-the-counter. Finasteride, however, requires a prescription to ensure it’s used safely and appropriately based on your medical history.
In addition to medication, you can support hair health with a balanced diet, stress management, scalp care, and avoiding harsh styling practices. In some cases, professional treatments like PRP or hair transplants may also be considered.
Finasteride is a prescription medication that blocks the hormone (DHT) responsible for shrinking hair follicles. By lowering DHT levels, it helps slow hair loss and may even promote regrowth over time.
Minoxidil is an over-the-counter topical treatment that increases blood flow to the scalp and stimulates hair follicles. It can help prolong the growth phase of hair, leading to thicker, healthier strands.
