Oral finasteride is prescribed in tablet form – the correct dosage for the treatment of hair loss being 1mg per day.
Some specialists suggest that finasteride applied in solution as a topical liquid, either on its own or in conjunction with minoxidil, can have a beneficial effect in reducing DHT levels in the scalp and hence slowing hair loss.
Q) How long does it take for Minoxidil to work?
A) Whether on its own or with an additive, Minoxidil typically takes between 4 and 6 months to achieve hair regrowth. Therefore, there is no point in trying a 3 month course and then stopping. It is important to continue for 6 months. If nothing happens by then it is probably best to stop or try another product.
Minoxidil with additives
The main additives used by specialists are:
Tretinoin (vitamin A)
Known as Retin-A. This helps to prolong the Anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle.
Nicotinate
This acts as a vaso-dilator, ensuring better absorption of the minoxidil.
