Frequently asked

MEDICINE OPTIONS FAQs

Finasteride and Minoxidil tackle hair loss in different ways. Finasteride works by blocking DHT, the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness, effectively stopping further hair loss. Minoxidil, on the other hand, stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles to encourage new hair growth. For the best results, they are often used together.

Topical treatments (like sprays) are applied directly to the scalp and generally have a lower risk of systemic side effects. Oral medications (tablets) are highly effective and very convenient for daily use. The right choice depends on your lifestyle, medical history, and preference, which our medical team will help you decide.

Both medications block the production of DHT. However, Dutasteride blocks both types of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, making it a stronger and more potent option for reducing DHT levels compared to Finasteride. It is often recommended for more advanced hair loss or for patients who haven't seen desired results with Finasteride.

Yes! In fact, combining treatments often yields the most significant results. Using a DHT blocker (like Finasteride) alongside a growth stimulator (like Minoxidil) tackles hair loss from two different angles. To make this easier, we even offer a combined Min-Fin topical spray.

Treatments like Finasteride and Dutasteride are prescribed strictly for men due to how they affect hormones. However, treatments like Minoxidil are highly effective and safe for treating female pattern hair loss. During your consultation, our specialists will recommend the exact medications suited for your specific gender and medical profile.

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Arshad @ the Hair Dr and his team. They have done an astonishing job that I thought was unachievable and exceeded my expectations. After the procedure, Dr Arshad explained the aftercare requirements in detail. I was then given a comprehensive aftercare package with an easy-to-follow video and checklist.

Dr Arshad was amazing. He went into great detail about the procedure and what to expect, explaining the best way to achieve optimal results from both his side and my aftercare routine. The aftercare was very well provided, including a clear step-by-step chart for the 7 days following the procedure. All the staff were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the day. I’m happy with the results so far and now waiting for the initial growth over the coming months.

I had wanted to undergo this procedure for quite some time, but finding the right clinic was not easy. After my 11-hour day yesterday and previous consultations with the highly professional and knowledgeable Dr Arshad, I know I made the right decision choosing this team. The clinic is lovely, and the team is friendly and caring. A big thank you to Laura, Samina, Sarah, and Jenna for taking such great care of me alongside Dr Arshad. As a clinician myself, I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to any of my patients needing this type of treatment.

Dr Arshad and his team were excellent from my initial consultation through to the end of the procedure. It has been a week since my surgery, and my hair already looks great. The donor area is almost completely healed and barely noticeable. On the day of the procedure, the entire team, including the technicians, were friendly and welcoming. The aftercare package was very well prepared, and everything was explained clearly. I’m really looking forward to seeing the full results over the next few months.

I came in for an FUE hair transplant on 20th July. Dr Arshad and the entire team were fantastic from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone considering the procedure. I’m excited to see the final results. Thank you all!
