Step 01Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the primary hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp by up to 60%, finasteride helps prevent further miniaturization of hair follicles and allows them to return to their normal size.
Step 02Minoxidil is a vasodilator that widens blood vessels and opens potassium channels around hair follicles. This increased blood circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, helping to revitalize shrunken hair follicles and stimulate them to grow. Minoxidil also prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, allowing hair to grow longer and thicker before entering the resting phase.
Step 03With consistent daily application, the combination of finasteride and minoxidil works synergistically to create an optimal environment for hair regrowth. Dormant follicles are reactivated, and existing hair becomes thicker and more robust. Most patients begin to see initial results within 3-4 months, with optimal results typically visible after 6-12 months of continued use. Regular application is essential to maintain benefits.
