Clinically proven treatments

MINOXIDIL

The only topical treatment approved by the FDA to treat hair loss.

First approved by the FDA in 1988 as Rogaine, minoxidil has been proven to be effective. In fact, its so effective that it can even grow hair elsewhere on the body – for example the beard area.

And while drugs that reduce DHT levels – such as finasteride and dutasteride – are effective at maintaining hair, minoxidil is the most effective for regrowth.

​

Reported side effects include scalp irritation in around 6% of users, headaches, and rash. It may take anywhere from several months to one year to see an effect. The early use of Minoxidil is recommended to help prevent the spread of small areas of baldness.

FINASTERIDE
Finasteride is taken in tablet form and has a specific effect on an enzyme called 5 alpha-reductase which can produce high levels of DHT causing subsequent hair loss. One tablet a day will arrest further hair loss in over 95 per cent of men and stimulate partial hair regrowth in two thirds of men. Regrowth may be apparent at six months, but can take up to two years to be visible. It is FDA approved and has been proven in numerous studies to be an effective hair loss treatment.

Side effects are uncommon, but include reduced libido and sexual dysfunction.  Finasteride requires a prescription from your doctor.
