What Is Male Pattern Hair Loss?
Also known as androgenetic alopecia, male pattern hair loss is a hereditary condition caused by a sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – a hormone that shrinks hair follicles over time. This leads to thinner hair, slower growth, and eventually baldness if left untreated.
Treatment is most effective when started early, before hair follicles become inactive.
How Do Hair Loss Treatments Work?
Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles.
Regaine (Minoxidil) works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, encouraging oxygen and nutrients to reach hair follicles.
Used consistently, both treatments can help maintain existing hair and support regrowth in areas affected by thinning.
Symptoms of Hair Loss
Hair loss (also known as alopecia) can occur gradually or suddenly and may affect the scalp or other parts of the body. The most common form is male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), which typically progresses over time and is influenced by genetics and hormone levels.
Common symptoms include:
- Gradual thinning of hair on the scalp, particularly at the crown or temples
- A receding hairline, often forming an “M” shape
- Widening of the part or thinning at the crown (in women)
- Increased hair shedding during brushing or washing
- Overall reduced hair density
Hair loss can be distressing, but treatments such as Finasteride (oral) and Regaine® (Minoxidil) (topical) can help slow progression, stimulate regrowth, and maintain hair density when used consistently.
How to Take Hair Loss Treatments
Finasteride / Propecia® (Tablets):
- Take one 1mg tablet daily at the same time each day.
- Swallow whole with water; can be taken with or without food.
- Continued daily use is required for results — stopping treatment will reverse any benefits over time.
Regaine® (Minoxidil Foam or Solution):
- Apply directly to the scalp, targeting areas of thinning.
- Apply twice daily (morning and evening) for best results.
- Wash hands thoroughly after use and allow the product to dry fully before styling.
Common Questions About Hair Loss
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetics (male-pattern baldness or female-pattern hair loss)
- Hormonal changes
- Stress or trauma
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders)
The most common cause in men is androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern hair loss).
What are the symptoms of male-pattern hair loss?
Typical signs include:
- A receding hairline
- Thinning hair on the crown of the head
- Gradual overall thinning, often starting at the temples
Hair loss tends to progress slowly over time.
How is hair loss treated?
MediClick Pharmacy offers clinically proven treatments for hair loss, including:
- Finasteride (Propecia®): An oral tablet that helps stop hair loss and promote regrowth by reducing DHT hormone levels.
- Regaine® (Minoxidil foam or solution): A topical treatment applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
Both treatments are most effective when started early.
How long does it take for hair loss treatments to work?
It typically takes at least 3–6 months of consistent daily use to see noticeable improvement. Maximum benefit is usually achieved after 12 months. Continued use is required to maintain results.
Can hair loss be reversed?
Early treatment can often stop further hair loss and promote some regrowth, but it may not fully restore a previous hairline or hair thickness. Treatments are most effective when started during the early stages of hair loss.
Are there any side effects from hair loss treatments?
Possible side effects include:
- Finasteride: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced semen volume (usually mild and reversible if treatment is stopped).
- Regaine (Minoxidil): Scalp irritation, dryness, temporary increased hair shedding when starting treatment.
Severe side effects are rare. Always follow the instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent issues.
