What causes male pattern hair loss?
Male pattern hair loss is caused by the hormone DHT acting on genetically sensitive hair follicles. It typically follows a predictable pattern, starting at the temples or crown.
-
What prescription treatments are available for male hair loss?
Finasteride is a once-daily tablet that reduces DHT levels and has been shown to slow or stop hair loss in most men. Minoxidil is a topical treatment applied directly to the scalp.
-
How long before I see results from hair loss treatment?
It typically takes three to six months to notice the effects of treatment. Hair loss treatments work best when started early, as they cannot restore hair from completely bald areas.
-
Are hair loss treatments safe long-term?
Finasteride and minoxidil are both well-established treatments with good long-term safety profiles. A small percentage of men taking finasteride experience reduced libido, which typically resolves on stopping the medication.
-
What happens if I stop taking hair loss medication?
Hair loss will resume if you stop treatment, often returning to the level it would have reached without treatment within 6 to 12 months. Ongoing use is recommended to maintain results.
