I first noticed that I was losing my hair when I was 16, and by the time I was 18 it had progressed rapidly. I looked into Essential Clinic because I hated that I was losing my hair at such a young age, and they've given me my youth back. Within a year I've already had amazing results, my hair loss has been completely halted and I've had significant regrowth.
BEFORE
NOWI was losing 20 - 30 hairs in the shower (just on my hand). I decided to use finasteride. Fortunately my fallout reduced to now where I see 5 - 10 hairs in my hand while showering. Visually, my hair is much better. Improved density overall.
BEFORE
NOWI always had thinner hair, but into my mid 20’s I was getting a noticeable bald spot on the top of my head. I was always under the impression that treatments for balding were mostly a money grab, but I figured I should at least try something before giving up. After some research I stumbled upon Essential Clinic and I’m incredibly happy I did!
BEFORE
NOWThis mid 20s male started noticing gradual hair loss. He began taking finasteride and slowly started to see results after three months. A couple years later there is marked increase in hair density. Continued use of finasteride will help maintain and improve density.
BEFORE
NOWI started noticing hair loss at 17. I visited a dermatologist who prescribed me finasteride and recommended laser therapy. After taking finasteride for 6 months, hair loss was reduced, and more importantly, I retained my hair. The receding hairline was also under control. I'm happy that I started finasteride before it was too late.
BEFORE
NOWMy friends told me about a balding spot at the back of my head around 2009. I started noticing receding front hairline in 2011. Thankfully I got in contact with Essential Clinic around 2020, I started treatment and the improvement within a year has been remarkable. I highly recommend them!

Finasteride, also known as Propecia, keeps testosterone from turning into DHT. DHT causes baldness by damaging hair follicles. By reducing DHT, finasteride keeps your hair healthy and full. Finasteride is approved by Health Canada and is well-tolerated by most men.
You can buy finasteride in Canada only with a prescription. To get a prescription, a qualified medical professional will ask you some questions and determine if it’s suitable for your case. You can have that consultation online right here at Essential Clinic. If you’re approved, you’ll be able to buy finasteride right from our online store and we’ll ship it straight to your door.
Finasteride blocks testosterone from breaking down into DHT. DHT is a hormone that damages hair follicles and contributes to hair loss—reducing it helps protect your hair. A small daily dose of finasteride helps ensure low levels of DHT and promote hair growth. Note that it’s easier to keep hair than regrow it. That’s why the more hair you have when you start taking finasteride, the better.
Yes, finasteride is approved by Health Canada and well-tolerated by most men. Like most medications, there is a chance that finasteride can cause side effects. When these occur, they are usually mild and go away when treatment is stopped. Always take finasteride under the guidance of a medical professional to ensure your health and safety. Learn more.
For best results, take finasteride 1mg pills every day. Consistent use should yield noticeable results within 3 to 6 months. You should see the final results after about a year. Continue to use finasteride to prevent hair loss over the long term.
