Topical Finasteride provides a modern and efficient hair loss treatment with potentially fewer systemic adverse effects, according to clinical studies. Our doctors recommend applying it twice daily onto the scalp.
Happy Head uses the strongest version of Finasteride concentration (Finasteride 0.3%) because a clinical pharmacokinetic study of topical Finasteride (Caserini et al. in 2015) showed that only the 0.25% Finasteride produced a similar scalp DHT reduction as the oral Finasteride 1mg. In addition, topical Finasteride may be a safer alternative to oral Finasteride. The key difference is that topical Finasteride is applied topically to the hair loss areas of your scalp, not ingested, thereby reducing chances of side effects. With Happy Head, your dermatologist will prescribe the optimal concentrations of medications specific to your hair loss dynamics, medical history, and gender.
Minoxidil can maintain its efficacy over a long period of time, even if used year after year. Clinical studies have shown that Minoxidil is effective in promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss when used consistently. In a study conducted over a 48-week period, participants who used Minoxidil experienced significant hair regrowth compared to those who used a placebo. Additionally, long-term use of Minoxidil has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated. So, you can use Minoxidil for 10 years and still expect it to maintain its efficacy in promoting hair growth. That being said, results can differ, and not everyone responds to treatment equally. Some individuals may experience a gradual decline in effectiveness over time or may require combination therapy with other treatments for optimal results.

Consistent and continued use of Minoxidil is necessary to maintain results, as discontinuation of treatment may lead to hair loss resuming. Shedding is a fairly common side effect when first starting Minoxidil. It sheds the telogen (resting) hairs as they are replaced with the anagen (growing) hairs. It usually lasts the first 6 to 8 weeks of starting the treatment and will stop afterwards as you start to see lasting results. Regular monitoring by a dermatologist can help assess the ongoing efficacy and you can adjust treatment as needed.
Regarding the choice between Finasteride and Dutasteride, both medications work by inhibiting the production of DHT. With daily application, you may start seeing results as early as 3 months, and up to 6 months of use. Individual results may vary. That being said, Dutasteride is generally considered to be stronger than Finasteride in terms of its inhibition of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. While both medications work by blocking this enzyme that is responsible for converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Dutasteride inhibits both Type 1 and Type 2 isoforms of the enzyme, whereas Finasteride primarily targets only the Type 2 isoform. This broader inhibition of 5-alpha reductase by Dutasteride results in greater suppression of DHT levels in the body, one of the main causes of hair loss.
