Hair Loss Treatment

Keep your crown.

Finpecia (Finasteride 1mg) — SA's most prescribed hair loss treatment. 94% of men stop shedding within 3 months. No GP queue, no awkward conversation.

The Reality

Hair loss is incredibly common.

By your 50s, roughly 1 in 2 men experience noticeable hair loss. It's not vanity — it's genetics, and it's normal. The good news? When addressed early with the right approach, most men see significant results within months and maintain their hair for years.

Important: We match you with licensed HPCSA doctors who assess your individual situation. Treatment success depends on many factors — age of onset, progression pattern, and your body's response. Your doctor will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.

Treatment options

Two proven treatments.

Finasteride 1 mg, dispensed by Chyna's pharmacy partner

Finasteride

Daily oral tablet

R500 – R800per month

The most prescribed hair loss treatment globally. Works by reducing DHT, the hormone that shrinks hair follicles in men with genetic predisposition. Most men see noticeable regrowth or stabilisation within 4–6 months of consistent use.

  • ✓ Proven to regrow and maintain hair
  • ✓ Simple daily routine
  • ✓ Works best when started early
  • ✓ Requires ongoing use for results
Minoxidil 5% topical solution, dispensed by Chyna's pharmacy partner

Minoxidil

Topical solution · Applied twice daily

R400 – R650per month

A topical treatment that stimulates hair follicles directly. Often used alongside finasteride for better results, or as a standalone option. Visible results typically appear after 3–4 months, with peak results at 12 months.

  • ✓ Targets hair follicles directly
  • ✓ Works well in combination therapy
  • ✓ Visible results in 3–4 months
  • ✓ Requires consistent twice-daily use

What to expect: Hair regrowth and loss prevention take time. Most men see noticeable changes between months 3–6. Consistency matters — missing doses or stopping treatment reverses progress. Every man responds differently based on genetics, age, and how long hair loss has been progressing. Your doctor will set realistic expectations based on your individual profile.
