9 months after applying Dr. Yaker’s Topical Finasteride + Minoxidil (HÄR Lab No. 2) View post
A male patient suffering from male pattern hair loss consulted Dr. Yaker, hoping to restore his hair, and the results did not disappoint. To get these results, this patient applied Dr. Yaker’s Topical Finasteride + Minoxidil (Hair Lab No. 2), and he is now enjoying his youth again after only 9 months.
Pattern hair loss, also called androgenic alopecia, is widespread. In the US, it affects over 50 million men and 30 million women.
In men, the signs are receding hairlines and bald spots on their scalp. The hair loss often starts at the top of the temples. With time, the hairline pulls back into an “M” shape.
Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is linked strongly to male hair loss. It’s an androgen that comes from testosterone. This androgen gives men certain qualities. These include a deep voice, more body hair, and more body mass. But DHT also makes hair follicles smaller. This leads to thinning hair.
Finasteride and Minoxidil are the only FDA-approved prescription medications for treating male pattern hair loss. Typically, Finasteride is administered orally as small tablets. However, some studies suggest that oral Finasteride may have side effects including impotence and decreased libido.
In 2017, Dr. Yaker started providing patients with a special topical formula. He named it HÄR LAB NO. 2. It combines Finasteride and high-quality Minoxidil. HÄR LAB NO. 1 has just Minoxidil in it. HÄR LAB NO. 2 adds the DHT-blocking drug, Finasteride.
Topical Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, slowing hair loss as a result. With topical Finasteride gaining popularity due to proven results with minimal risks of side effects, more men are choosing this treatment option as opposed to oral Finasteride.
In addition, men who are concerned with or who have had sexual side effects with oral Finasteride have been able to switch over to HÄR LAB NO. 2 safely. Female candidates include women who are not of child-bearing age, who are on birth control, or who cannot get pregnant.
