What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is an FDA-approved medication that helps reverse male pattern baldness by addressing the root cause - hormonal hair loss. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair follicle shrinkage and eventual hair loss.

At Hairsthetix Cape Town, Finasteride is offered in oral tablet or topical solution form, prescribed after a thorough consultation to ensure it’s the right solution for your individual hair restoration goals.

How Finasteride Works

Finasteride targets hair loss at a hormonal level, ensuring long-term results:

1

Blocks DHT Production:

Prevents the hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturisation.

2

Revitalises Hair Follicles:

Allows dormant follicles to re-enter the growth phase.

3

Prevents Further Hair Loss:

Helps maintain and thicken existing hair.

Note: With consistent use, noticeable improvements can typically be seen within 3 to 6 months.
