Targeting DHT at the Source
Finasteride helps slow the hormonal process behind pattern hair loss. By reducing DHT, a key driver of follicle miniaturization, it helps protect existing hair while supporting gradual improvement in density over time.
-
01
Reduces DHT at the source. Inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into the DHT behind pattern thinning.
-
02
Protects existing hair. Helps preserve the hair you have and slow further loss with consistent daily use.
-
03
Best for early to moderate loss. Well suited for prevention, early intervention, and long-term maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results with Adegen?
Adegen starts working from day one, but visible results take time and consistency. Most people begin to notice changes around 90 days, and results continue to improve over the months and even years that follow.
How is Adegen different?
Adegen is not a basic hair loss product. It is a prescription-grade system designed to target the key drivers of follicle weakening, including poor circulation, DHT activity, and inefficient follicular delivery. Powered by 15% micronized minoxidil, ARB technology, dutasteride, caffeine, tretinoin, and more, Adegen delivers a more comprehensive approach than conventional hair loss treatments.
Will I need to use Adegen long term?
Hair loss is an ongoing biological process, so maintaining results requires consistent care, much like diet, exercise, or oral health. Continued use of Adegen helps support circulation, follicle health, and the natural hair growth cycle, making it a simple part of your long-term hair maintenance routine.
Does Adegen work before or after a hair transplant?
A hair transplant moves existing follicles but doesn't stop the hair loss underneath, so results often fade without treating the root cause. That's why we recommend the full Adegen system first, usually three to six months. It strengthens your follicles for a better result with fewer grafts, and some people find they need fewer than planned, or no transplant at all. Watch John, who had a transplant himself, explain why.
Is Adegen safe and are there side effects?
Adegen is designed to work locally at the scalp rather than systemically. By focusing on topical delivery and targeted ingredients, the system helps support follicle health without the hormonal side effects commonly associated with some oral treatments. As with any skincare or topical product, individual sensitivities can occur.
Can women use Adegen?
Yes, and many do. Women's hair loss often traces to the same root cause as men's: restricted blood flow to the follicle. Many women see excellent results, and our HairIQ assessment builds a protocol suited specifically to them. We've helped women from their twenties into their eighties. Watch John explain why Adegen works so well for women.
