Sobre o tratamento
Substância ativa: Finasteride · Dosagens: 1 mg / day
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor: it reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT, the hormone responsible for follicle miniaturisation in male androgenetic alopecia.
It's a continuous daily treatment — on discontinuation, effects fade over 6–12 months. A licensed doctor confirms the diagnosis, reviews the risks with you and rules out contraindications before prescribing.
Como ajuda
Targets DHT, the hormonal driver of pattern loss — not just the symptom.
Most men notice the shedding slows between months 3 and 6.
Effects are maintained with continuous use and periodic medical reviews.
O que esperar
One 1 mg tablet daily. Results are assessed over months, not weeks — and your doctor follows up through your account chat.

The doctor was upfront that results would take months. By month five the shedding had clearly slowed.

OUTROS TRATAMENTOS DE CRESCIMENTO CAPILAR
Finasteride is a selective type-II 5α-reductase inhibitor, EMA-approved in Europe for male androgenetic alopecia.
WHAT IT IS
Finasteride is the same molecule sold as Propecia (1 mg, alopecia) and Proscar (5 mg, benign prostatic hyperplasia). For hair, the relevant presentation is the 1 mg oral tablet.
It blocks 5α-reductase type II, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — the main hormone driving progressive follicular miniaturisation in male androgenetic alopecia.
HOW IT WORKS
By lowering scalp DHT (≈60–70 % in studies), finasteride slows follicular miniaturisation. The clinical effect has two components:
The action only persists while treatment continues — once stopped, shedding resumes its natural course within months.
WHO IS A CANDIDATE
The EMA indication is for adult men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia. It is not indicated in women of childbearing age or during pregnancy (teratogenic risk).
The licensed doctor reviews your questionnaire, history and expectations. Alternative causes — telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, nutritional deficiencies — are ruled out before proposing finasteride, which is not a universal solution.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Visible effects appear slowly. Most men on sustained treatment notice stabilisation in the first 4–6 months; density changes typically take 6–12 months to become visible on photographs.
Daily adherence is critical — missed doses reduce cumulative efficacy and reset the response cycle.
SAFETY
The most reported adverse events are sexual: erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, ejaculatory changes. In clinical trials the incidence is 1–2 %, though post-marketing series report wider rates and persistence after discontinuation in a minority of cases (post-finasteride syndrome).
The doctor discusses these data openly before prescribing and monitors via the private chat throughout treatment. If side-effects appear, treatment is paused and alternatives reviewed.
It is contraindicated in pregnant women — even contact with crushed tablets is restricted due to teratogenic risk for male foetuses.
