      Minoxidil stimulates bloodflow around the follicles and pushes them into the growth phase. It’s usually applied topically.

      Finasteride reduces the amount of DHT inside the body, as the hormone can attack hair follicles causing scarring. It’s taken orally. Some have complained of serious, permanent side effects after using this medication.
