What is Finasteride, Minoxidil and Tretinoin topical solution?

Son’s topical solution contains the active ingredients Finasteride, Minoxidil and Tretinoin. It is an unlicensed medicine for the treatment of male pattern baldness, which is a common type of hair loss that normally starts as a receding hairline, or you may notice some bald spots.

This solution should be applied once daily and continuously used. One 60 ml bottle is enough for 2 months' worth of treatment. 

Let's look at how each active ingredient helps prevent hair loss:  

Finasteride

Finasteride works by blocking the overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body, which causes hair loss. 

Finasteride spray stimulates hair growth and prevents further hair loss in men suffering from male pattern baldness. Finasteride is well tolerated by many men long term and a popular approach to the management of this condition. 

Finasteride, also known by the brand name Propecia, is available online in the form of Finasteride 1mg tablets. 

Minoxidil

Minoxidil works to reverse the effects of male pattern baldness by reversing the miniaturisation of hair follicles, increasing blood flow around follicles, stimulating follicle movement to the growth phase and extending each follicle growth phase.  

Minoxidil, also known by the brand name Regaine, is available to buy from Oxford Online Pharmacy in the form of Minoxidil spray, foam, tablets and capsules. 

Tretinoin

Tretinoin is a retinoid (vitamin A derivative) which is normally used for the treatment of acne and wrinkles but also aids in the treatment of hair loss by supporting the effects of Minoxidil.  

Studies have shown that the effectiveness and safety of combined 5% minoxidil and 0.01% tretinoin once-daily works as well as traditional 5% minoxidil twice-daily therapy for the treatment of male pattern baldness. In more simple terms, the study shows that Tretinoin helps Minoxidil get to work twice as fast.

Why choose this treatment? While you can purchase these ingredients separately, why not get it all in one? This saves time and money and targets your hair loss together with 3 of the best hair growth ingredients.  

What are the benefits of combining Finasteride with Minoxidil?

The combination of Finasteride and Minoxidil together is shown to work better to treat hair loss than just using Minoxidil alone in improving hair density (number of hairs) and diameter (thickness of hair).

Minoxidil is already a popular topical treatment for male-pattern hair loss. It works by dilating blood vessels in the scalp, which may increase the effectiveness of the Finasteride by allowing it to penetrate deeper.

Topical vs oral Finasteride

Minoxidil and Finasteride topical solution is a great alternative to taking tablets and is especially useful if you are experiencing male pattern baldness but cannot or prefer not to take tablets. Using Finasteride as a topical solution instead of tablets will also lower your risk of experiencing side effects. 

While the Minoxidil Finasteride topical solution may be the best route for some, this can be a more time-consuming treatment option as it needs to be applied once daily, every day. We also stock Finasteride 1mg tablets, Minoxidil capsules and Minoxidil tablets for those who prefer them.

Does topical Finasteride work?

Yes. Several studies show that topical Finasteride increases hair count considerably and is well tolerated. It has the same effect as taking oral Finasteride but with fewer side effects.

When should I expect to see results?

Like most hair loss treatment, it can take a while to notice the positive effects. With topical Finasteride, Minoxidil and Tretinoin, you will start to notice fewer hairs on your pillow and less hair coming out in the shower.   

By 3 months, you should start to notice changes to your hair. During this time, you might still be seeing some hair shedding. This is normal and temporary. 

By 6 months, you should notice your hair loss has stopped or slowed right down. At this stage of treatment you should also start to see hair regrowth, normally on the crown at first. 

By 9 – 12 months, this is when you should see the maximum benefits. You will notice improvement in hair colour and thickness and your hair density (number of hairs growing) will continue to improve. 

Who cannot use Finasteride solution?

You can't use this solution:

• If you were not born male, this treatment shouldn’t be used by females. 
• If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the solution. 
• If you are already taking Finasteride or Dutasteride for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 
• If you are under 18 years of age. 
• If you are susceptible to psoriasis or other scalp conditions. 
• If your hair loss is not caused by male pattern baldness, such as hair loss due to a side effect of a medicine.
