Finasteride for Hair Loss in Newport Beach & Orange County
Medical hair loss management. Prescription-only. Physician-led.
Finasteride is a prescription medication used to slow hair loss and preserve existing hair by addressing the hormonal cause of male pattern hair loss.
At Newport Beach Hairline Restoration, finasteride is prescribed only after an in-person or virtual consultation with Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD to ensure safety, appropriateness, and proper dosing.
Serving patients in Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Tustin, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, and throughout Orange County.
What Is Finasteride?
Finasteride is an FDA-approved oral medication that lowers levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone primarily responsible for androgenetic hair loss.
By reducing DHT, finasteride helps slow or stabilize ongoing hair thinning and supports long-term preservation of existing hair.
It does not create new follicles, but it plays a critical role in maintaining native hair and protecting long-term transplant results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate if you:
• Are experiencing early to moderate hair thinning
• Want to slow or prevent future hair loss
• Are planning a hairline restoration procedure
• Have already undergone hair transplant surgery
• Prefer a physician-guided, non-surgical treatment option
Finasteride is typically prescribed for men. Candidacy is determined during a required consultation.
How Finasteride Works
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT.
Lower DHT levels reduce follicle miniaturization and help stabilize density over time. Results depend on consistent daily use and are best evaluated over several months.
What to Expect
Administration: Oral tablet taken once daily
Initial stabilization: 3 to 6 months
Best evaluation period: 6 to 12 months
Duration: Ongoing use required to maintain results
If discontinued, hair loss may gradually resume.
Consultation Requirement
Finasteride is a prescription medication and requires medical evaluation before initiation.
At Newport Beach Hairline Restoration:
• Prescriptions are issued only after in-person or virtual consultation
• Medical history and risk factors are reviewed
• Treatment plans are personalized and physician-led
This ensures appropriate and safe use.
Finasteride as Part of a Complete Hairline Strategy
Finasteride is often integrated into a broader restoration plan that may include:
• Scarless FUE hairline restoration
• Topical minoxidil
• Scalp microneedling and regenerative therapy
Combining surgical precision with medical stabilization helps protect existing hair and support long-term results.
