Active Ingredients

Minoxidil

Increases blood flow at the scalp, supporting critical oxygen and nutrient exchange to support the growth of hair. Keeps hair follicles in an active growth (anagen) phase for a longer period of time, resulting in thicker, longer hair strands.

Caffeine

Counteracts effects of DHT, increases hair follicle energy production and mitochondrial activity, stimulates hair follicle keratinocytes, improves scalp circulation, and reduces scalp inflammation.  Studies have shown it to be as effective as Minoxidil in combating hair loss.

Finasteride

Lowers levels of DHT, widely considered a primary cause of hair loss in men.

Retinoic Acid

Aids in scalp penetration to ensure the medication is achieving maximal effect at the hair follicle root.

Hydrocortisone

Inhibits inflammation to decrease irritation of the scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Minoxidil, and how does it work for hair restoration?

Minoxidil is a topical solution or foam that is commonly used to treat hair loss. It works by stimulating hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth, and slowing down hair loss. Minoxidil increases blood flow to the hair follicles, encouraging them to enter the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

Can Minoxidil work for everyone?

While Minoxidil has proven effective for many individuals, results can vary. It tends to work best in individuals with mild to moderate hair loss, especially at the crown or the vertex of the scalp. For those with advanced hair loss, Minoxidil may help slow further hair thinning or regrow hair, but it may not be as effective for full restoration.

Are there any side effects of Minoxidil?

Some people may experience mild side effects, including: scalp irritation or dryness, unwanted facial hair growth (if the product inadvertently spreads to areas other than the scalp), and a shedding phase during the first few weeks (temporary hair shedding that often precedes new hair growth). If you experience significant irritation or other side effects, it’s best to consult with our doctors for next steps.

What is Finasteride, and how does it help with hair restoration?

Finasteride is an oral medication that inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturization, leading to hair thinning and hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to slow hair loss and may stimulate hair regrowth.

Can Finasteride help with all types of hair loss?

Finasteride is primarily effective for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It helps prevent further hair loss and may stimulate regrowth, particularly in the crown and middle areas of the scalp. However, it is not as effective for other forms of hair loss, such as male-pattern baldness or hair loss caused by medical conditions.

 

Note: It’s not recommended for use in women, especially those who are pregnant or trying to conceive, due to the risk of birth defects.

What side effects are associated with Finasteride?

Some men may experience side effects, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction and/or reduced semen volume. However, these side effects are rare and usually resolve after discontinuing the medication. If you experience any of these issues, consult with our doctors to determine the best course of action.

How does Caffeine help with hair restoration?

Caffeine has been shown to stimulate hair follicles and may promote hair growth. It works by improving blood circulation to the scalp, which can help nourish hair follicles and potentially enhance hair regrowth. Some studies suggest that caffeine can block the effects of DHT, the hormone associated with hair thinning.

How do Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Caffeine work together for hair restoration?

Each work through different mechanisms:

  • Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles directly.
  • Finasteride addresses the hormonal cause of hair loss.
  • Caffeine improves blood circulation and may prevent hair follicle miniaturization.

How long does it take to see results from Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Caffeine?

Minoxidil: It may take 2-4 months of consistent use to start seeing noticeable results, and up to a year for full benefits.

Finasteride: Results typically take 3-6 months to become visible, with optimal results seen after a year of use.

Caffeine: Results with caffeine-based products are generally seen after 3-6 months of regular use.

Can I stop using these treatments once I see results?

To maintain the results, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Caffeine should be used continuously. Stopping treatment may result in a return to the baseline of hair loss, and in the case of Minoxidil and Finasteride, any hair regrowth could be lost.
