Finasteride works by lowering levels of DHT, the hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and weaken over time. By reducing DHT, it helps slow hair loss, decrease shedding, and preserve existing hair density, while also supporting thicker, healthier strands in areas affected by thinning.
Hair is noticeably thinner and softer to the touch. Scalp is now visible.
Finding more hair than usual on your pillow, in the shower drain, or on your brush can be an early indicator.
Gradual pulling back of the hairline, often in an "M" shape, is typical in men but can also happen in women.
If your hair part looks noticeably wider or more scalp is showing, it could be a sign of diffuse thinning.
