RootRestore: Advanced Oral Hair Regrowth Therapy

Dutasteride and Finasteride are FDA approved medications used to treat hair loss caused by male pattern baldness. Both work by inhibiting the hormone DHT, which is responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing hair thinning.

• Finasteride is used in the 1 mg dose to treat male pattern baldness. Research has shown that finasteride prevented further hair loss in 83% of men over two years.
• Dutasteride is a more potent option for androgenic alopecia (aka male pattern baldness). Dutasteride blocks DHT more effectively as seen in studies that 90% of men experience hair improvement on this regimen.

Both options are clinically proven to slow hair loss and promote regrowth, offering effective solutions for men experiencing hair thinning.

Minoxidil is the active ingredient in Rogaine, a popular over-the-counter hair loss treatment spray. The same active ingredient can be taken by mouth in pill form as a convenient once-a-day hair loss treatment. While topical minoxidil is FDA-approved to treat hair loss and is available without a prescription, oral minoxidil is considered off-label and requires a prescription. Healthcare providers have the discretion to prescribe a medication off-label if they believe it’s an appropriate course of treatment for a particular patient.

Finasteride and Dutasteride are part of a family of medications called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These drugs work by blocking the activity of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen (male sex hormone). DHT contributes to male pattern baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia) but using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to block this enzyme can slow or reverse hair loss.

Exactly how minoxidil works isn't fully understood, but the medication is believed to work by extending the growth phase of hair follicles and increasing the size of hair follicles, potentially promoting hair regrowth. Minoxidil is also believed to relax blood vessels, causing them to widen and increase blood flow. This may be one of the ways that minoxidil works to stop or slow hair loss and, in some cases, even regrow hair.

Oral minoxidil is for people experiencing androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. While there are many different treatments available, many patients find taking one oral minoxidil pill a day easier than. applying a topical treatment twice a day. A simpler routine can be easier to stick to, which can support better results.

While a patient’s preference is always considered, providers will ultimately make treatment recommendations based on the individual’s medical history, along with the contraindications and side effects associated with oral minoxidil.

• Take dutasteride/finasteride + minoxidil tablets exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to take it.
• You may take finasteride with or without food.
• If you forget to take RootRestore tablets, do not take an extra tablet. Just take the next tablet as usual.
• RootRestore will not work faster or better if you take it more than once a day.

Yes, both finasteride and dutasteride can help with hair regrowth. Studies show that finasteride effectively promotes visible regrowth in men experiencing hair loss:

• 61% of men achieved mild to moderate regrowth at the crown (vertex) after 2 years, with an additional 5% experiencing significant regrowth.
• 37% of men saw regrowth in the frontal area (receding hairline) after 1 year.

Dutasteride, being a more potent DHT blocker, may offer even greater regrowth potential, particularly for men who do not respond as well to finasteride. Both medications are effective options for combating hair loss and supporting regrowth in key areas.
