Finasteride & Minoxidil combination treatment

• Finasteride blocks the production of DHT and thus the impact of DHT on hair follicles.
• Finasteride ensures that when you suffer from hair loss, fewer new hair falls out and hair grows back where it fell out before.
• Minoxidil reduces hair loss and sometimes minoxidil also causes new hair to grow.
• After 4-9 months, you will notice that hair grows in areas that were previously bald. If you stop taking finasteride and minoxidil, the new hairs will disappear again within half to 1 year.

In low doses of 1 mg, Finasteride inhibits the effect of DHT on hair follicles.

How Finasteride works

Finasteride inhibits the effect of DHT. This allows the hair to grow again in places where growth had previously stopped. It is particularly effective on the bald spot on the crown.

Effect of Finasteride

After 6-9 months of use, you may notice hair growth in areas where it stopped growing before that time. For a lasting effect, you must use this remedy continuously. If you stop, the newly formed hairs will disappear again after half to one year.

Minoxidil effect
Minoxidil reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth in some people after a few months. The hair often has a slightly different color and structure than the original hair. Minoxidil works best for men under the age of forty who have not lost that much hair.

After a year, the maximum effect is reached. For a lasting effect, you should take this medication every day. When you stop, the newly formed hairs disappear again. If you do not notice any growth after one year of use, further use is pointless.
