Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil hair loss treatment for Male Pattern Baldness( MPB) is a proven, well researched, FDA approved success story hair loss treatment used by millions globally.

Don’t lose hair over losing hair. Yes really.

At Science&Human the science of restoring hair loss is almost art, and we have got it down to a T.

Win the battle first by stopping hair loss, with topical Finasteride which will stop the amount of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) a potent form of testosterone conversion by 5a alpha reductase enzymes shrinking your hair shaft and making it fall. Minoxidil will nourish and foster new healthy hair. This is how you win the hair loss war.

If needed additional reinforcement in the form of 1 Mg. Finasteride pills will be prescribed if needed. All depends on age and how far you are in the hair fall cycle.

I am twenty. Should I start hair loss treatment for Male Pattern Balding (MPB)?

Starting early hair loss treatment, even in early 20s, as a preventive measure is good for Male Pattern Baldness(MPB). Since this is genetic, it is easy to tell from your relatives if you are likely to run into hair loss too.

The advantage of starting early hair loss treatment for alopecia is that you will prevent the hair shaft miniaturization which causes hair loss, and stops regrowth.

Both topical finasteride and minoxidil act in complementary fashion to keep your hair. One will stop hair loss and stabilize growth, while the other nourishes the follicles with increased blood flow.

Does hair loss treatment with finasteride and minoxidil really work?

Yes! Hair loss treatment with finasteride and minoxidil really works. Many studies, random double-blinded studies have proved this beyond doubt.

Finasteride both topical and oral, is prescribed to treat hair loss from MPB, while only topical minoxidil is used for hair loss. Both are FDA approved hair loss treatments.

Finasteride is the advancing cavalry that disrupts the phalanx of dihydrotestosterone. Minoxidil the rear guard, will tie down defences, secure the beachhead (pun intended) nourish and feed the hair follicle so new healthy hair unimpeded by 5a reductase enzyme inhibitors can grow a lustrous mane.

Consider Finasteride and minoxidil as your personal knights who will fight and win the hair loss war.

Stability is the first stepping stone of hair loss treatment. Stopping hair loss, keeping what you have by extending the anagen phase, growing new hair and reducing the rest period or telogen phase is the main strategy.

We understand general stress is high due to an extended pandemic and the restrictions that have changed life adding stress.

The reason we wanted to keep this blog light-hearted was intentional. After hearing from many about stress being high, we cannot emphasize enough that stress is an evil enemy and should be overpowered.

We have armed you with the facts and the strategy to overcome so go slay the dragons!

Go ahead, take deep breaths, stay physically active, indulge in your hobbies, but do not dwell on your hair. It is self defeating and a feedback cycle you don’t want to feed.

Just be cavalier about hair loss. Science&Humans hair loss treatments will help win the hair loss war and restore your crowning glory.
