Learn how to stop male pattern baldness. Discover treatments that block DHT, regrow hair, and prevent further hair loss.
Quick Summary
You’ve noticed it—male pattern baldness creeping in with thinning at your temples, a receding hairline, and extra strands in the shower drain. It doesn’t happen overnight, but once it starts, it won’t stop unless you take action. Left untreated, hair follicles weaken over time until they can no longer produce hair at all.
The good news? You can stop hair loss before it’s too late. FDA-approved treatments like Finasteride (Finarid) and Minoxidil have been clinically proven to halt hair thinning and reactivate dormant follicles for regrowth. The sooner you start, the better your chances of preserving and restoring your hair.
The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to reverse hair loss. Take control now by following this step-by-step guide to the most effective treatments and how to use them for maximum results. Your hair is worth fighting for—let’s get started.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a byproduct of testosterone that binds to hair follicles, causing them to shrink and weaken over time [1]. This process, known as hair miniaturization, causes hair strands to progressively get thinner until the follicles eventually stop producing hair altogether. Once follicles shrink beyond a certain point, hair regrowth becomes nearly impossible, making early intervention critical.
Finasteride (Atepros) is an FDA-approved oral medication that blocks 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT [2]. By lowering scalp DHT levels by up to 70%, it prevents ongoing follicle shrinkage and halts hair loss progression before it becomes irreversible.
Clinical studies show that Finasteride effectively slows hair thinning and, in some cases, promotes thicker, healthier hair within three to six months [3]. Because Finasteride targets the root cause of follicle damage, starting treatment early can help maintain long-term hair retention before hair loss progresses to advanced stages.
Finasteride reduces DHT-related hair loss at the hormonal level to prevent further thinning. Minoxidil, a hair growth serum, boosts blood flow to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to dormant follicles and reactivating the hair growth cycle [4].
By expanding blood vessels and extending the anagen (growth) phase, Minoxidil delivers more oxygen and nutrients to weakened follicles, allowing them to produce thicker, stronger hair over time. With consistent use, most men notice visible improvements in hair density within four to six months.
Studies show that combining Finasteride and Minoxidil enhances results, as Finasteride prevents further hair loss while Minoxidil stimulates regrowth [5]. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to hair restoration, making them the most effective solution for stabilizing hair loss and encouraging regrowth in men with early to mid-stage hair loss.
Finasteride and Minoxidil are not one-time fixes. They only work as long as they are used regularly. Once you stop taking Finasteride and Minoxidil, hair follicles will no longer be kept at their active growth phase and DHT levels will rise again, causing hair follicles to shrink and weaken all over again. Any hair that was retained or regrown during your treatment period gradually falls out, with full relapse occurring within three months to a year.
Committing to a long-term treatment plan is the only way to maintain results. Skipping doses or stopping completely halts your progress, allowing hair thinning to accelerate again. For men serious about preserving their hair, consistency is non-negotiable.
Some men experience mild side effects from Finasteride Atepros or scalp irritation from Minoxidil, but adjustments can help. A doctor can fine-tune your treatment plan based on progress, ensuring optimal results with minimal side effects. Regular check-ins allow adjustments to prevent setbacks, keeping hair loss under control for the long term.
Male pattern baldness is progressive, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it. The combination of Finasteride and Minoxidil is scientifically proven to stop you from going bald and promote thicker, healthier hair.

Male pattern baldness occurs when DHT shrinks hair follicles, causing thinning and eventual hair loss. While full regrowth isn’t guaranteed, androgenic alopecia treatment like Finasteride and Minoxidil can slow hair loss, thicken existing hair, and sometimes restore growth where follicles are still active. Early and consistent treatment offers the best chance of maintaining hair density.
Yes, signs of balding at 20 or 25 are common and often linked to genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors, sometimes starting as early as the late teens.
If you notice thinning at the crown, progressing through receding hairline stages, or excessive shedding, early receding hairline treatment is key to preventing further progression. Finasteride and Minoxidil are clinically proven to slow hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth.
Genetics plays a major role in male pattern baldness, but it’s not the only factor. The baldness gene can increase your risk, and some may even experience balding in teenage years, but DHT levels, lifestyle, and early treatment also matter.
It's important to distinguish between telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia—telogen effluvium causes temporary shedding from stress or health issues, while androgenetic alopecia is progressive and genetic. If you're noticing early signs of either, Finasteride can help block DHT, slowing hair loss and improving long-term results.
