Purpose and Benefits

How It Works
- Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink.

What is Finasteride 0.1% Minoxidil 5% Hair Loss Foam Used For?
Purpose and Function
Finasteride 0.1% Minoxidil 5% Hair Loss Foam is designed to prevent further hair loss in men experiencing hereditary thinning while also promoting new hair growth. This topical foam works by reducing the overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and enhancing blood flow to scalp hair follicles. The active ingredients, finasteride and minoxidil, work together to stop hair thinning and stimulate regrowth, making it a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
Ideal Candidates
- Works best for men with thinning or hair loss at the top of the scalp.
- Younger men, or those who have only recently begun to lose hair or have a small bald spot, typically see the best results.
- May be less effective for men who have been bald for a long time or have extensive hair loss.
Recognizing Hereditary Hair Loss
Hereditary hair loss is usually marked by:
- A distinct pattern of hair loss (refer to diagrams above).
- A gradual onset and steady progression.
- A family history of hair loss.
- No other accompanying symptoms.
Understanding Hair Growth
- Hair typically grows about 1 centimetre (half an inch) each month.
- Each hair grows from a follicle beneath the skin, remaining in the growth phase for 2-4 years and then entering a rest phase for 2-4 months before shedding.
- Because each follicle is in a different stage of this cycle, losing a few hairs daily is normal.
What is Male Pattern Hair Loss?
Male pattern hair loss is a common condition where men experience thinning hair on the scalp, often resulting in a receding hairline or bald spot at the crown. This condition is primarily due to genetic factors and the effects of DHT, which shortens the hair's growth phase and causes thinning. These changes can start as early as the 20s and become more noticeable with age. Without treatment, prolonged hair loss may become permanent.

How Does Finasteride 0.1% Minoxidil 5% Hair Loss Foam Work?
Mechanism of Action
Finasteride 0.1% Minoxidil 5% Hair Loss Foam uses a dual-action approach that targets both hormonal and blood flow factors contributing to hair loss.
- Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that stops the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles.
- Lowering DHT levels helps slow hair thinning and encourages the regrowth of stronger, healthier hair.
- Minoxidil, acting as a vasodilator, widens blood vessels to improve circulation to the scalp.
- Enhanced blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, boosting hair density and resilience.
Overall Benefits
By combining these two ingredients, the foam offers a comprehensive treatment that not only prevents further hair loss but also promotes effective hair regrowth.
