Why Hair Loss Happens

Hair loss can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutrient deficiencies, or medical conditions. One of the most common causes is androgenetic alopecia, a genetic condition that affects both men and women. In women, hair loss may also be linked to hormonal shifts during menopause or postpartum periods. Regardless of the cause, losing hair can affect not only your appearance but also your confidence and emotional well-being.


How Minoxidil and Finasteride Work Together

The combination of minoxidil and finasteride is a powerful solution for combating hair loss:


  1. Minoxidil:
  • Increases blood flow to hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen.
  • Encourages thicker and faster hair regrowth.
  • Slows the progression of hair thinning.


  1. Finasteride:
  • Blocks the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
  • Helps maintain existing hair and stimulates regrowth in areas affected by DHT.


By targeting hair loss both externally (minoxidil) and internally (finasteride), this combination maximizes the potential for visible results.


What to Expect from Treatment

Patience and consistency are essential when using compounded minoxidil and finasteride. While every individual responds differently, here’s a general timeline of what you might expect:


  • First Few Weeks: Some users may notice increased shedding as weaker hairs fall out to make room for stronger regrowth.
  • 3–6 Months: Visible improvements typically start to appear, including reduced shedding and the beginning of regrowth.
  • 6–12 Months: Continued use leads to thicker, stronger hair and more significant regrowth.


It’s important to stick to the regimen and stay in communication with your provider to adjust the treatment if needed.


The Benefits of a Compounded Solution

Compounded minoxidil and finasteride offer advantages over using these medications separately:


  • Customized Dosages: Tailored to your specific needs and hair loss severity.
  • Convenience: Combining both medications into a single topical application saves time and effort.
  • Fewer Side Effects: By applying finasteride topically instead of taking it orally, users may experience fewer systemic side effects.
