Finasteride is an FDA-approved medication that works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the primary hormone responsible for male pattern hair loss. Reducing DHT levels in the scalp may slow or halt hair loss progression in appropriate candidates.
Finasteride may cause decreased libido, changes in ejaculation, or erectile changes in some men. A small number of patients report these effects persisting after discontinuation. Your provider at Modern Wellness Clinic will discuss all potential risks before prescribing.
Yes. Many patients use oral finasteride alongside topical hair growth spray, PRP scalp injections, or minoxidil as part of a multi-modal hair restoration protocol at Modern Wellness Clinic.
Yes. Finasteride is a prescription medication. A provider evaluation at Modern Wellness Clinic is required before it is prescribed. Risks and benefits including potential sexual side effects are reviewed at every consultation.
Most men require 3-6 months of consistent use before noticing changes in hair loss progression. Results vary by individual. Finasteride is most effective when started early in the hair loss process and used consistently long-term.

Finasteride 1mg is an FDA-approved oral medication for androgenetic alopecia — the most common form of hair loss in men, affecting the hairline, crown, and vertex. It is one of only two FDA-approved medications for male pattern baldness, and remains the most clinically studied oral option for this indication. At Modern Wellness Clinic in Summerlin, Las Vegas, finasteride is prescribed following medical screening and a provider discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives. Purchasing initiates this evaluation — it does not guarantee that a prescription will be written.
Androgenetic alopecia is driven primarily by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen produced when the enzyme 5-alpha reductase converts testosterone into DHT in peripheral tissues including the scalp. In genetically susceptible hair follicles, DHT binds to androgen receptors and progressively miniaturizes follicles over time — producing the characteristic thinning and recession pattern of male pattern baldness. Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase type II, reducing serum DHT levels by approximately 70%. This reduces the androgenic stimulus on susceptible follicles, which can slow or halt the progression of hair loss and, in a meaningful proportion of patients, support partial regrowth of miniaturized follicles.
Finasteride is most effective when started early — before significant follicle miniaturization has occurred — and used consistently long-term. Most patients require 3-6 months of daily use before any change in hair loss progression becomes observable. Regrowth, where it occurs, typically develops over 12+ months of consistent treatment. Discontinuation results in return of hair loss progression as DHT levels normalize. At Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas, finasteride is frequently combined with our compounded topical hair growth spray for a multi-modal approach. For patients whose hair loss has a hormonal component related to testosterone levels, your provider may also evaluate hormonal contributors as part of a comprehensive assessment.

Finasteride has a well-established safety profile in men when used at the 1mg dose for androgenetic alopecia. At Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas, all patients receive a complete discussion of risks and benefits — including the sexual side effects discussed below — before finasteride is prescribed. This conversation is not optional, it is standard practice.
The most clinically significant side effects of finasteride relate to sexual function. A subset of men — reported in clinical trials at rates of approximately 2-4% — experience decreased libido, difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, or changes in ejaculation (including reduced volume). For most patients these effects are mild and reversible upon discontinuation. However, a smaller number of patients have reported persistence of sexual side effects after stopping the medication — sometimes referred to as Post-Finasteride Syndrome, though this remains an area of active discussion in the medical literature. Your provider at Modern Wellness Clinic will discuss this risk directly at your consultation.
Because finasteride reduces DHT, it can affect certain hormonal lab values. It lowers PSA levels by approximately 50%, which is important context if prostate cancer screening is relevant to you. Mild breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia) has been reported rarely. Mood changes including depression have been reported in a small number of patients and should be discussed with your provider if they occur.
Finasteride is not appropriate for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant — it can cause abnormalities of the external genitalia in male fetuses exposed in utero. Women should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets. This medication is prescribed at Modern Wellness Clinic for men only following appropriate medical screening. All risks and contraindications are reviewed at your consultation.
