    women in their 50s and 60s show female pattern hair loss

    as many women saw regrowth on minoxidil as on placebo, across 7 trials

    Source: Cochrane review, 2016
  • +13 hairs/cm²

    more with minoxidil than placebo, across 8 trials and 1,242 women

How it works

Pattern hair loss starts when DHT, a stronger form of testosterone, tells follicles to shrink. Finasteride lowers DHT, and minoxidil widens the blood supply around the follicle and lengthens its growth phase. Putting both on the scalp aims the effect at the follicles that need it and keeps finasteride exposure lower than swallowing a tablet.

Apply once a day to a dry scalp. Spread it over the thinning areas, let it dry, then wash your hands.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Week 1

    Some dryness or itching is common while your scalp adjusts. Message your team if it persists.

  2. 02

    Weeks 2 to 6

    A brief increase in shedding is expected and not a sign of failure.

  3. 03

    Months 3 to 6

    Shedding slows and hairs thicken. Your clinician checks progress.

  4. 04

    Months 6 to 12

    Visible regrowth typically shows. Keep applying daily, because benefits fade if you stop.

What makes it work better

Three things you can do alongside your treatment.

  1. Woman gently combing the ends of her hair by a window
    01

    Check the nutrients under your hair

    Low iron stores, vitamin D and zinc are linked to shedding. Our clinicians look for ferritin around 45 to 79 ng/mL and vitamin D around 50 to 90 ng/mL. Ask whether a blood test makes sense before you assume the solution is the only lever.

  2. Woman chatting with a friend in a neighborhood garden
    02

    Keep the scalp calm and the routine steady

    Poor sleep and high stress raise cortisol and inflammation. Seven to nine hours of sleep helps, and so does applying at the same time each day to a dry scalp so you never skip.

  3. Woman with short silver hair enjoying a hillside walk
    03

    Quiet the metabolic signal

    Insulin resistance lowers SHBG, which frees more androgen to act on follicles. Regular movement, fewer refined carbs and a steady weight keep that signal down while the solution works on DHT.

Who it suitsWomen who cannot become pregnantMost adult women not pregnant or breastfeeding

Evidence for topical finasteride in women is early and limited to postmenopausal women.

Before you start

  • Finasteride can harm a male baby in the womb. This solution is for women who are postmenopausal or cannot become pregnant, or who use reliable birth control as your clinician directs. Not for use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Do not use if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
  • Tell your care team straight away if you get depression or thoughts of self-harm, dizziness or a racing heart, or persistent scalp irritation.

How to take it

Apply 1 mL to the thinning areas of a dry scalp once a day, then wash your hands. A bottle lasts 50 days at that dose.

Side effects and safety

Finasteride is FDA approved for male pattern hair loss as a 1 mg tablet, and minoxidil is approved for hair regrowth as a topical solution. This combined scalp solution is compounded, so the combination itself has not been reviewed by the FDA.

Tell your care team straight away if you get depression or thoughts of harming yourself, breast lumps or pain or discharge, sexual side effects that persist, a rash or swelling, or a pregnant partner handled the solution.

Common side effects

  • scalp irritation
  • scalp redness
  • itching
  • a change in hair color or texture
  • unwanted facial hair growth where the solution spreads

Rare but serious

  • depression and suicidal thoughts, reported with finasteride
  • reduced libido, erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems, which can persist
  • chest pain, a fast heartbeat, faintness or dizziness, reported with minoxidil
  • fluid retention with sudden weight gain or swollen hands and feet
  • a lower PSA reading, which can hide a prostate cancer

Do not take this if you are pregnant or may become pregnant, or your scalp is broken, inflamed or infected.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Message your care team about any symptom that worries you. What we dispense is a compounded preparation made by a licensed US pharmacy. Compounded medications are not approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality.

Your questions, answered.

Messaging the care team from home
Can I use this if I could get pregnant?+

Finasteride is not used in women who are or may become pregnant because it can harm a male baby. Your clinician will ask about menopause and birth control before prescribing.

Is early shedding normal?+

Yes. Extra shedding 2 to 6 weeks in is common with minoxidil and usually settles.

How long until I see results?+

New growth usually takes 12 to 24 weeks to show, with fuller results over 6 to 12 months. Keep using it daily.

Does finasteride work for women?+

Evidence is early. Small studies in postmenopausal women are encouraging but not conclusive. Minoxidil has the stronger evidence.

Can it cause facial hair?+

Minoxidil can cause unwanted hair where the solution spreads. Apply only to the scalp and wash your hands.

Who else should not touch it?+

Anyone who is or may become pregnant should avoid contact with the solution or treated scalp until it dries.
