The Safe and Strategic Use of Finasteride in Hair Loss Patients By Dr. Waqar Maqsood, Hair Transplant Surgeon | Sculpt Roots Medical Clinic, Dubai

Hair loss can be an emotionally challenging journey—impacting self-image, confidence, and overall well-being. As a hair restoration specialist at Sculpt Roots Medical Clinic, I’ve worked with hundreds of patients dealing with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), and one key component in the long-term management of hair loss is Finasteride.

What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is a DHT-blocker. It works by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for miniaturizing hair follicles. By inhibiting this hormone, Finasteride helps preserve existing hair and, in many cases, improves density over time.

Is Finasteride Safe?

Yes—extremely safe for the majority of patients.
According to multiple clinical studies and my own clinical experience, Finasteride is 98% safe when used under medical supervision. Most patients tolerate it well, and serious side effects are rare.

However, like any medicine, it requires careful monitoring. This is where our approach at Sculpt Roots stands out.

Our Unique Approach at Sculpt Roots Medical Clinic
At Sculpt Roots Medical Clinic, we don’t just prescribe Finasteride and walk away. Every patient who uses Finasteride is closely monitored using a custom-designed Performa created by me personally. This Performa helps us track patient response, any side effects, and overall progress.

Our 3-step Monitoring Process:

  1. Initial Assessment: Before starting Finasteride, we perform a detailed history, check contraindications, and counsel the patient on what to expect.
  2. Monthly Follow-Ups: Through our Finasteride Performa, we record mood, libido, energy levels, scalp condition, and hair density.
  3. Long-Term Tracking: Every 3-6 months, we do a photographic and dermoscopic analysis to ensure sustained benefits.

Finasteride is Part of a Bigger Picture

Hair restoration isn’t about one magic pill—it’s about a customized strategy. Finasteride is one powerful tool in our toolkit, often combined with hair transplant surgery, PRP therapy, Minoxidil, and lifestyle optimization.

Think of Finasteride as your shield, protecting the native hair while transplants fill in the gaps. When used responsibly, it significantly enhances both short-term satisfaction and long-term results.

Conclusion

If you’re struggling with hair loss and want a scientifically-backed, personalized, and safe solution—Finasteride could be a game-changer. At Sculpt Roots Medical Clinic, we ensure your journey is guided, monitored, and optimized every step of the way.
