These medicines work by inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the enzyme 5α-Reductase. Exposure to DHT causes hair follicles to shrink, weaken, and eventually stop functioning, preventing hair growth. Finasteride acts to reduce levels of DHT in the scalp, helping to reverse the balding process and prevent further hair loss.When taken daily, Finasteride can be highly effective in reversing the effects of Male Pattern Baldness. It helps prevent the thinning of hair follicles and is even thought to increase the number of hairs, thereby enhancing the overall appearance. In one study, 90% of men who took Finasteride once a day for six months halted their hair loss, and 60% even experienced regrowth of lost hair.5-ARIs normally take three to six months of consistent use before any effects are observed and up to one to two years for full hair growth, this is due to the natural growth cycles of hair follicles. 5-ARIs are not a permanent solution to hair loss, so any positive effects will be reversed if treatment is stopped.
