Hair Loss Treatment
Hair Loss Treatment – Finasteride
At McQueen’s Pharmacy, we understand how distressing hair loss can be. Whether it is thinning hair or a receding hairline, any form of hair loss can have a real impact on your confidence. That is why we offer professional support for those looking to slow down hair loss and encourage regrowth with Finasteride, a clinically proven medication.
What is Finasteride?
It is available in tablet form and is taken daily for best results. Many men begin to see improvements within 3–6 months, with optimal results appearing after a year of continuous use.
How Does It Work?
Finasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone largely responsible for genetic hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps to:
- Slow down further hair loss
- Thicken hair
- Encourage new hair growth in some individuals
Results vary from person to person and consistent, long-term use is essential for maintaining benefits.
