- Minoxidil and Finasteride tackle hair loss in distinct ways. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels to increase blood flow to hair follicles. Finasteride works internally to block DHT, a hormone that shrinks follicles in male pattern baldness. Peptide therapy operates on a more cellular level. These small protein fragments stimulate your scalp’s natural regenerative processes. They help enhance collagen production, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and strengthen follicle anchoring. Think of it as rebuilding the foundation for healthy hair growth rather than just patching up the problem.
