Duration

Male pattern hair loss is driven by DHT shrinking follicles over time. Finasteride blocks most of the enzyme that makes DHT, which is why it is the most studied oral option for keeping the hair you have.

HOW FINASTERIDE WORKS

Protects the follicles you still have.

Glucose control.

Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, the androgen responsible for shrinking scalp follicles in men with a genetic susceptibility to pattern hair loss.

Blocks DHT conversion

Inhibiting type II 5-alpha reductase lowers DHT levels at the scalp, reducing the hormonal pressure that shortens each follicle's growth phase.

Preserves before it regrows

The primary measured effect is slowing and stopping loss. Regrowth occurs for some men, but maintenance is the realistic frame.

Works on a follicle cycle timeline

Hair follicles cycle over months. Visible change is generally assessed at 6 to 12 months, not weeks.

Requires continuous use

The effect lasts only as long as treatment does. Stopping allows DHT levels and the original hair loss trajectory to return.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions, answered

What is finasteride used for?

Finasteride 1 mg is FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It is not for use by women who are or may become pregnant due to risk of fetal harm.

How long until I see results?

Results typically become visible after 3–6 months of daily use. The medication works primarily to stop further loss first; regrowth, if it occurs, follows. Stopping finasteride reverses its effects, typically within 12 months.

What are the side effects?

A small percentage of men report sexual side effects (reduced libido, erectile dysfunction). These are generally reversible on stopping the medication. Discuss your risk profile with your provider before starting.

Does finasteride affect PSA?

Yes. Finasteride reduces PSA levels by approximately 50%. Inform any provider ordering PSA tests that you take finasteride, so they can adjust interpretation accordingly.
