Follicle Fix (Finasteride/Minoxidil)
The dynamic duo of hair restoration—nothing fancy, just the two most clinically proven ingredients for reversing hair loss, combined in one powerful topical formula. Follicle Fix pairs the growth stimulator (minoxidil) with the DHT blocker (finasteride) to stop hair loss at its source while actively regrowing what you’ve lost. Simple, effective, results-driven.
What It Helps With:
- Male pattern baldness (receding hairline, crown thinning)
- Progressive hair loss and thinning
- Reduced hair density
- Hair loss not responding to single-ingredient treatments
- Preventing further hair loss while promoting regrowth
How It Works:
Minoxidil – Increases blood flow to your follicles, extends the hair growth phase, and reactivates dormant follicles. It’s FDA-approved and has decades of proven results for stimulating hair regrowth.
Finasteride – Blocks DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone that shrinks hair follicles and causes male pattern baldness. By stopping DHT production at the scalp, you prevent further damage while giving existing follicles a chance to recover and regrow.
Together, they create a one-two punch: finasteride stops the destruction, minoxidil promotes the growth. As a topical combination, you get the power of both treatments with better tolerability and reduced risk of systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride.
Application: Apply topically to affected areas of the scalp once or twice daily (as directed). Use the dropper to apply directly to dry scalp—not just the hair—and massage gently for absorption. Do not wash hair for at least 4 hours after application. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
What to Expect: Initial shedding in weeks 2-8 is common and actually a good sign (old hairs making room for stronger growth). Reduced shedding around 8-12 weeks. Visible new growth typically appears at 3-6 months, with optimal results at 9-12 months of consistent daily use. Hair loss prevention begins immediately, even before you see new growth.
Contraindications:
- Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding (finasteride causes severe birth defects)
- Children and adolescents
- Liver disease or dysfunction
- Known hypersensitivity to minoxidil or finasteride
- Cardiovascular disease (discuss minoxidil use with provider)
Important Warnings:
- NOT FOR USE BY WOMEN – finasteride is extremely dangerous during pregnancy
- Keep away from partners who might be pregnant and from children/pets
- Wash hands thoroughly after each application
- If your partner is pregnant, use gloves or applicator to prevent any transfer
- Results require consistent use—stopping treatment may result in hair loss resuming
Potential Side Effects: Scalp irritation or dryness (usually from minoxidil). Topical finasteride has significantly lower rates of sexual side effects compared to oral finasteride, but they can still occur in rare cases.
