Hair loss can affect anyone; young or old, male or female. The American Hair Loss Association recommends the hair loss treatment Finasteride. This medication has been proven to slow and stop male pattern baldness. Finasteride works by lowering the body’s DHT level by as much as 60% when taken daily.

Our bodies will convert testosterone into DHT which shrinks the hair follicle and restricts new hair growth and eventually leads to balding. Finasteride can be found in the name brand drugs Propecia and Proscar. Ask your doctor about these drugs if you have any questions or concerns about the risk of taking these medications.
