Statistics and symptoms
The most common symptom of hair loss is gradual thinning of the hair, particularly at the crown.
Shedding more hair than 100 strands of hair per day, particularly when combing or washing your hair, can be a sign of clinical hair loss.
Hair loss often begins with a receding hairline at the temples, which can eventually form an "M" shape.
Hair loss can also cause changes in the texture of the hair, such as making it feel finer or more brittle.
Hair loss can also cause small bald patches on the scalp, which may be circular or irregular in shape.
Some medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, iron deficiencies, androgenetic alopecia or poor scalp health can lead to excessive hair shedding.

Frequently asked questions
Male Pattern Baldness has several genetic components. Or, 287 if we’re being precise. But all of these genetic regions essentially boil down to one significant issue. And that’s the level of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your body.
DHT is a hormone related to Testosterone and has a direct impact on the health and performance of hair follicles.
Too much, and hair follicles begin to shrink. This makes them less likely to support hair growth and retention. Eventually, when enough follicles have been affected, hair growth slows down significantly.
Other factors, though, can also have an impact on hair growth and retention. These can include stress, poor nutrition, and harsh chemicals or dyes.
Our treatments can help reduce the level of DHT in your body, transforming hair growth and significantly reducing hair loss.
To help treat MPB, our therapies are provided as either a once-daily pill, a topical compound, or a combination of both.
We offer a once-daily therapy. Finasteride works by blocking DHT, the hormone responsible for hair loss.
Our topical treatment is a specially-formulated compound of Finasteride, Minoxidil and retinoic acid, which increases blood and oxygen supply to hair follicles as well as stops shedding.
Results are often specific to the individual. You may see improvement in hair growth after 3 to 4 months of daily treatment. Alternatively, it could take 12 months for the treatment to take full effect.
Treatment for hair loss can be a slow process, but patience and persistence will pay off.
Any therapy can have side effects in a small percentage of the population using it.
Once-daily Finasteride can cause erectile dysfunction, low libido, and decrease in semen volume.
Although these side effects occur in just 3.8% of men receiving treatment, it’s important to know what may happen.
Science & Humans’ therapies also include a purely topical treatment, significantly reducing the likelihood of side effects.
