Finasteride Treatment is a prescription medication used to help slow the progression of male pattern hair loss and maintain existing hair. It works by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone associated with hair follicle shrinkage. At Elegance Clinic in Adajan, Surat, Dr. Ashutosh Shah evaluates your hair loss pattern, medical history, and overall health before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
Early treatment may help preserve hair density and delay further hair thinning.
