The Manes plan
One plan.Every angle.
Hair loss has more than one driver. Your clinician can combine treatments that work in different ways: one to slow the loss, one to support regrowth, at a dose set for you.

Finasteride has been studied in thousands of men for decades. Here’s what the landmark trials found, in plain numbers.
Phase III trials of finasteride 1 mg in men with crown hair loss (McClellan & Markham, Drugs, 1999). Results vary; these are not a promise of your outcome.

Most men’s hair loss follows a known pattern called the Norwood scale. Drag to find yours. Follicles at the edge are shrinking, not gone, and that’s where treatment does its work.

Skips two questions. Your clinician confirms your stage from photos.
Illustrative photos. The Norwood scale is a general guide to male pattern hair loss, not a diagnosis. Hair loss that is patchy, sudden or spread all over can have other causes, so tell your clinician.
Most treatments are one-size-fits-all. Yours isn’t.

The Manes
formulary
Four ingredients your clinician can draw from. Open one to see what it does, and what to know before you start.
What it does
Blocks 5α-reductase type II, lowering DHT, the hormone that miniaturizes genetically sensitive follicles. FDA-approved for men since 1997.
Worth knowing
Sexual side effects were reported by 3.8% of men vs 2.1% on placebo in trials. Depression and suicidal thoughts are listed as reported reactions. It lowers PSA test results.
What it does
Thought to lengthen the growth phase and enlarge follicles, partly by improving blood flow. Its exact mechanism isn’t fully understood.
Worth knowing
Scalp irritation and temporary early shedding are common. Benefits fade within months of stopping.
What it does
The same active ingredient as the topical, taken as a small daily tablet. A 2025 international expert consensus supports careful off-label use.
Worth knowing
FDA-approved only for high blood pressure. Can cause unwanted body hair, fluid retention or a faster heartbeat, so your clinician screens your heart history first.
What it does
Designed to act mainly on the scalp. Often paired with minoxidil in a single serum.
Worth knowing
Not FDA-approved and less studied than the oral form. Some is absorbed into the body, so similar side effects remain possible.

The honest timeline.
Month by month.
Hair grows slowly, so treatment is measured in months. Here’s the honest version.
Get startedMonths 1–3: Treatment gets to work
Effects start below the surface first.
- Finasteride begins lowering DHT
- Some temporary shedding is possible with minoxidil
- Baseline photos set your starting point
Months 4–6: Shedding slows
Often the first change men notice.
- Many men see less hair in the shower and on the pillow
- Visible change can begin around month six
- A photo check-in with your clinician
Months 6–12+: Judge and adjust
The fair point to measure results.
- Clinicians typically assess response at 6–12 months
- In trials, gains held through two years of continued use
- Benefits fade if treatment stops
