YOU'RE NOT ALONE

Understanding male pattern baldness

Male pattern baldness affects around 50% of men over 50 โ€” but it can start as early as your late teens or twenties. Watching your hairline recede or crown thin isn't vanity. It's genuine loss of confidence in how you present yourself to the world.

The Pattern

Hair loss typically begins at the temples or crown, gradually progressing over months or years. Without treatment, the process continues irreversibly.

The Cause

Your hair follicles become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks follicles until they stop producing visible hair. It's genetic โ€” not lifestyle.

The Good News

Clinically proven treatments can stop further loss and stimulate regrowth. The earlier you start, the better your results โ€” most men see real improvement within months.

PRESCRIPTION ONLY

Finasteride 1mg Tablets

(Propecia)

What it is:

Oral tablet taken once daily. Blocks the DHT hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, stopping further hair loss and stimulating regrowth.

How effective:

Clinical trials: 9 out of 10 men experienced hair regrowth or prevented further loss. Visible results within 3โ€“6 months.

Who it's for:

Men with early to moderate hair loss who want to stop progression and regrow hair. Most effective when started before significant thinning.

Generic Finasteride 1mg โ€” more affordable Branded Propecia 1mg โ€” original formulation

Prescription required. Our pharmacist assesses suitability during consultation.

NO PRESCRIPTION NEEDED

Minoxidil Solution/Foam

(Regaine)

What it is:

Topical solution or foam applied directly to scalp twice daily. Stimulates blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging growth and preventing further loss.

How effective:

Clinical studies: Around 60% of men (3 in 5) reported hair regrowth after 48 weeks of consistent use.

Who it's for:

Men who prefer topical treatment over oral medication, or those combining with finasteride for maximum results.

Regaine for Men solution Regaine foam โ€” less greasy Generic minoxidil โ€” more affordable

Available over-the-counter. Our pharmacist provides application guidance.

Combination Therapy โ€” Maximum Results

Using finasteride AND minoxidil together provides maximum hair retention and regrowth. Finasteride blocks DHT internally while minoxidil stimulates follicles externally. Many men achieve best results combining both treatments.

Realistic expectations

Hair loss treatments work โ€” but they require patience, consistency, and realistic goals. Here's what to expect.

Timeline for Results

Visible improvement: 3โ€“6 months minimum. Peak results: 12โ€“24 months. Hair growth is gradual โ€” progress photos help track subtle improvements you might otherwise miss.

Consistency is Critical

Finasteride: one tablet daily. Minoxidil: applied to scalp twice daily. Missing doses reduces effectiveness. Treatment must continue long-term to maintain results.

What Success Looks Like

Success is stopping further loss and regrowing hair in thinning areas. Most men see thicker, healthier existing hair, slower recession, and regrowth in crown and vertex areas.

Ongoing Treatment Required

Hair loss treatments manage a genetic condition โ€” they're not a cure. Stopping means hair loss resumes within 6โ€“12 months. Think of it like managing any chronic condition.

Is hair loss treatment right for you?

Understanding who benefits most from finasteride and minoxidil helps set realistic expectations from the start.

Ideal Candidates

  • Men aged 18โ€“65 with male pattern baldness
  • Early to moderate hair loss (receding or thinning)
  • Committed to daily treatment for at least 12 months
  • Realistic expectations about gradual improvement
  • Generally healthy with no contraindications
Best results: Men who start treatment early see the best outcomes. Once follicles are completely dormant, regrowth becomes much harder.

Consider Carefully

  • Women (except specific formulations under medical supervision)
  • Men planning to father children soon (finasteride precaution)
  • Certain medical conditions (discuss during consultation)
  • Complete baldness (treatments can't revive fully dead follicles)
When to see your GP: If you have sudden hair loss, patchy bald spots, or hair loss with scalp irritation, see your GP first. These may indicate conditions other than male pattern baldness.
