Knowledge that keeps you going.
Hair Loss
Does testosterone cause hair loss?
The idea that high testosterone means baldness is a myth. Male pattern hair loss comes from how sensitive your follicles are to a hormone called DHT, not from how much testosterone you have.
Hair Loss
What causes hair loss in women?
Female hair loss has a different cause list from men's: pattern thinning, telogen effluvium, iron and thyroid problems, hormones and haircare damage. How to tell them apart.
Hair Loss
How long does finasteride take to work?
Finasteride lowers the hormone driving hair loss within days, but visible results run on hair's slow cycle: stabilisation by month six, the full verdict at a year or more.
Good to know
Questions, answered honestly.

Does it actually work?
For most eligible men, yes, but it protects existing hair more reliably than it regrows lost hair, and results take three to six months. A clinician will tell you what's realistic for your stage of hair loss.
What about side effects?
Most men tolerate finasteride well. A small number report sexual side effects, which are usually reversible on stopping (SmPC). Your clinician reviews your history and explains the risks before prescribing, and you can raise anything any time.
How long until I see results?
Typically three to six months of consistent use, sometimes longer. You may notice some shedding early on as the cycle resets. That's normal, and your clinician will guide you through it.
What happens if I stop?
The hair these treatments protect will gradually return to its previous course over the following months. That's why we treat it as an ongoing plan, and your clinician will advise on stopping safely.
Is the medication genuine?
Yes. All treatment is genuine, regulated medication dispensed by a GPhC-registered pharmacy. Eligibility and suitability are decided by a UK-registered clinician.
