The only hair growth spray of its kind

Finasteride prevents more hair from falling out, slowing or even stopping excess shedding. Minoxidil promotes new hair growth. Now the first time ever, you can get both treatments in a fast-drying, fine-mist prescription spray—no pills required.

How it works

Finasteride &
minoxidil team up

• Finasteride stops testosterone from turning into DHT that can weaken follicles.

• Minoxidil promotes hair growth by reversing the shrinkage of follicles.

Finasteride & minoxidil for hair loss

Not your average two-in-one

When it comes to hair care, 2-in-1’s have (rightfully) gotten a bad rap. But sometimes, more convenient does mean more effective. Especially when that combo includes topical finasteride and minoxidil. Spray two shed-stopping ingredients at once. Get on with your day. It’s as simple as that.

How to use it

Spray on, regrow

Part your hair to get better access to your scalp.
Spray in the areas of your scalp where you want to see improvement.
After spraying, lightly massage into your scalp so it absorbs.
Once you’re done, wash your hands with soap and water to avoid reactivating any strands of hair on your hands.

2 IN 3 postmenopausal WOMEN experience HAIR LOSS

It’s science, in a spray

Stop hair loss with finasteride

DHT is an androgen that can shrink follicles and cause excess shedding. Finasteride inhibits DHT, helping follicles stay open and active.

Regrow hair with minoxidil

Minoxidil stimulates follicles and increases how long they stay in the active growth phase, helping you grow thicker hair.

Simply spray for results

Minoxidil is often used as a serum or foam. Finasteride is often taken as a pill. This spray flips the script with a topical spritz that dries fast.

Experts in female hair loss, no waiting room required

FAQ about Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil Hair Growth Spray

  • Finasteride for women slows down the production of androgens. These are male sex hormones, including testosterone. Reduced production of androgens can slow down the progression of hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia (aka female pattern hair loss).
  • It can also increase the total number of hairs in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle.
  • Finasteride is only safe for women who are postmenopause.
Clinical studies show that combining finasteride with minoxidil can promote faster hair growth and achieve better results long term. That’s why we’ve combined them into a single-step, once-a-day routine that nourishes your scalp health and leads to more healthy hair.
  • Finasteride stops testosterone from turning into DHT that can weaken hair follicles.
  • Minoxidil promotes hair growth by reversing the shrinkage of follicles.
Finasteride is the best option for women who are postmenopause and experiencing excessive shedding, thinning hair or hair loss. If you have not gone through menopause and are experiencing hair loss, spironolactone and minoxidil might be a better hair regrowth treatment for you.
No. Finasteride is only recommended for women who are postmenopause.
  • 1 in 3 women experience hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia, making it the most common reason. 2 in 3 women experience hair loss postmenopause. It’s a genetic and hormonal condition that can be treated.
  • With female pattern baldness, hair thinning occurs on the top and crown of the head. This thinning in women often starts as a widening of the center hair part that leaves the front hairline unaffected.
  • Women can also experience hair loss due to stress, nutrient deficiency, postpartum hormonal shift or other medical conditions.
It’s a prescription hair growth product that can only be prescribed by a licensed medical provider. It contains topical minoxidil and topical finasteride, which is a prescription strength compound. It is not available in stores. Start a free online visit now to see if it’s right for you.
