Finasteride
From £15 / month
Finasteride is one of the most popular treatments in the market proven to effectively treat hair loss. It functions by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone known to cause hair follicles to shrink, eventually leading to hair loss.

At a glance
Blocks DHT to shield against hair loss- Effective in 8/10 men
- Results in 3-6 months
Male pattern baldness typically occurs gradually. The hormone DHT attacks your hair follicles, causing hair thinning and eventually baldness.
Finasteride
Finasteride blocks the enzyme that produces DHT. This acts to prevent hair loss and promotes hair regrowth.
Hair regrowth, even with the help of a treatment, is a gradual process, therefore results take time. Sticking to your treatment plan is also important in maximising your results
Months 0-3No visible change. Some shedding is normal, and is actually a good sign that your medication is working and your hair growth cycle is restarting
Reset phase
Months 3-6 Hair loss will have slowed and you might start noticing some growth
Stabilization
Months 6-12Improved scalp coverage and hairline density as regenerated hairs fill in areas of thinning hair
Regrowth
Finasteride is a highly effective and popular medication for treating hair loss. It is generally well-tolerated and side effects are rare. In the unlikely event that they occur, they are usually temporary and mild, and may include dizziness, weakness, and swelling in the hands or chest. In fact, in clinical trials, 98.6% of men experienced no serious side effects from Finasteride. However, it is important to understand potential risks associated with the medication.
Sexual side effects with Finasteride are rare and usually reversible. It is important to note that sexual side effects are more commonly associated with the higher 5mg dose of Finasteride used to treat an enlarged prostate gland.
If you have any concerns about potential side effects, please do not hesitate to get in touch with a MANUAL clinician. In the rare event that you experience serious Finasteride side effects, please contact your GP for further guidance.

- Effective in over 7/10 men
- Results in 3-6 months
Male pattern baldness typically occurs gradually. The hormone DHT attacks your hair follicles, causing hair thinning and eventually baldness.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil acts by widening the blood vessels in the scalp, allowing for improved blood flow and oxygen delivery to hair follicles. This leads to promotion of hair growth, improved hair density, and thicker, healthier-looking hair.

The most common side effect of Minoxidil is skin irritation at the site of application, which is usually caused by alcohol present in the solution. If you have pre-existing scalp irritation or itchiness, a sensible alternative would be the oral form.
Minoxidil can cause a slight decrease in blood pressure, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness, tiredness, and swelling around the face and hands. Other side effects can include headaches, vision changes, nausea, changes to heart rate, chest pain, and flushing. Shedding is a common short-term side effect that may occur during the first 2-3 weeks of use, but it is typically a positive sign that the treatment is working. If shedding persists beyond this timeframe, it is recommended to consult with a GP to exclude other potential causes.
If you have any concerns about potential side effects, or you develop a rash or severe itching while using Minoxidil, please do not hesitate to get in touch with a MANUAL clinician. In the rare event that you experience serious Minoxidil side effects, please contact your GP for further guidance.
