A 2-in-1 solution to treat hair loss and regrow new hair. Finasteride and Minoxidil is great for men who would like an alternative to taking a daily tablet for hair loss. Each ingredient in this quick-drying solution is clinically proven to regrow hair in as little as 6-9 months.
Combination Solution
Finasteride with Minoxidil is an easy-to-use home treatment that just needs to be applied to the scalp twice a day.
How it works
Finasteride + Minoxidil treats hair loss in men by reducing scalp DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is an androgen hormone derived from testosterone thought to shrink hair follicles and cause many guys to experience hair loss.

How long until I see results?
The Finasteride + Minoxidil solution starts acting right away, but it typically takes about 3 months to see the initial results, and up to 9 months for the full effect to be evident.
It’s significant to mention that initial hair shedding may occur for some men when they first begin using the solution. Although this may be alarming, it’s a positive indicator that the treatment is effective. The solution enhances blood circulation to the scalp, leading to the shedding of older hair. However, with regular use for 9-12 months, this should be followed by the growth of stronger, healthier hair.
What are the potential side effects?
Like any medication there might be side effects. The most common side effects of topical finasteride + minoxidil solution typically occur at the site of medication application (scalp) which can include itching, irritation or a dry flaky scalp.
Some patients may notice a temporary increase in hair shedding 2 to 6 weeks after starting treatment. This is a sign that the treatment is working, as it accelerates the growth of new hair and stimulates regrowth. The increased hair loss will subside within a few weeks.
Why should I use this treatment?
The most frequent cause of hair loss in men is a reaction to the hormone dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT. It is a byproduct of the male sex hormone testosterone. This type of hair loss is known as androgenetic alopecia. It is therefore DHT that causes hair loss; DHT shrinks the individual hair follicles. In the first period, the individual hairs become thinner. Over time, the hair follicle dies, after which no new hairs are produced.
