What they say about Finasteride

Great product, great staff

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.

Improved density overall

I 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.

I was amazed at the progress

I 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!

Increased hair density

This 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.

Fast and smooth, great staff.

I 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.

Great improvement within a year!

My 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!

How does finasteride 5mg work?

Finasteride blocks testosterone from becoming DHT, a hormone that damages hair follicles and causes hair loss. Finasteride comes in 1mg and 5mg doses. 5mg is known as Proscar and is used to treat men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). But it’s the same exact ingredient as the 1mg version that’s used to treat hair loss—just cheaper. You can use the free pill cutter we include to split 5mg in quarters. Then, take one 1.25mg piece every day. It’s an effective hair loss treatment, and it cuts down your costs.

Finasteride stops testosterone from turning into DHT. That’s good because DHT is a hormone that damages hair follicles and contributes to hair loss. Taking finasteride daily helps grow thick and healthy hair. Remember, the earlier you begin the better: it’s easier to keep your hair healthy from the beginning.

Yes, it’s approved by Health Canada and well-tolerated by most guys. Finasteride can sometimes result in side effects, but they’re uncommon. When they do occur, most guys will see the side effects go away after stopping treatment. Always take finasteride under the direction of a medical professional to ensure your health and safety.

Finasteride 5mg pills must be split before taken for hair loss treatment. We provide a pill cutter to split them into quarters. For best results, take one quarter (which is about 1.25 mg) every morning with water. When you use it consistently, you should see results in about 3 to 6 months.
