You’ll stop losing hair and old dead hair will be pushed out.
Hair thickness improves and most men will see more hair coverage on top.
You’ll reach your full potential for regrowth. Stay consistent to maintain results.
As with all medications, a very small percentage of men may experience side effects. The vast majority of these effects go away completely if treatment is stopped.
Dutasteride treats hair loss by blocking a hormone called DHT—the main cause of male pattern baldness. Your body primarily makes DHT using two types of 5AR enzymes: Type 1 and Type 2. Finasteride blocks Type 2, while dutasteride blocks both Type 1 and 2.
Think of Type 2 as the main engine driving hair loss—and Type 1 as the backup generator. Finasteride shuts off the engine. Dutasteride shuts off the generator.
We recommend starting with Locklab and switching to Locklab + Dutasteride if you need something stronger to stop hair loss. Locklab + Dutasteride is stronger, but it is only necessary for the minority—if you believe you are still losing hair while taking standard Locklab, or if finasteride alone has not been effective for you in the past.
Not really. Your primary hair regrowth comes from minoxidil, that’s why Locklab + Dutasteride is a 4-in-1 pill, because different ingredients do different things better. The purpose of both dutasteride and finasteride is the same—to stop further hair loss. Dutasteride is stronger at stopping hair loss (it blocks 90% of DHT) while finasteride blocks about 65% of DHT. However, research shows dutasteride is not statistically superior to finasteride for regrowing thick (terminal) hairs. What you need for visually striking hair regrowth is the combination of ingredients in Locklab + Dutasteride.
Locklab + Dutasteride is a regrowth-forward medication. Your primary hair regrowth comes from oral minoxidil, that’s why Locklab + Dutasteride is a 4-in-1 pill—because different ingredients improve your hair in different ways. Dutasteride’s role is to stop hair loss by fighting off DHT—the hormone that is otherwise constantly attacking your hair follicles. Since dutasteride blocks more DHT than other treatments, it is the best medication in the world at what it does. In conjunction, finasteride is the most widely researched and trusted hair loss medication available so it’s the perfect base for stopping hair loss. Finasteride shifts the medication toward blocking more of the Type 2 5AR enzyme—the main culprit for hair loss. Biotin has a cult-like following for improving hair health and is ideal for helping bind the other ingredients together.
You may be wondering why we start with a 0.1mg dose of dutasteride. The short answer is, it's safer and has the same effect as a higher dose for most men. Let's break it down:
First, some men may be considering a 0.5mg dose—we usually advise against it—because 0.5mg of dutasteride is the only dose of any drug prescribed for hair loss that has been found to decrease sperm count after 1 year (Amory et al, 2007)*. Since we know it’s the strength of the dose that causes this, our 0.1mg dose will likely have no negative affects on sperm count.
Second, The 0.5mg dose of dutasteride was designed to treat a condition called BPH (which shrinks your prostate). This means you will see a larger decrease in prostatic/ejaculate fluid (liquid surrounding sperm) from the 0.5mg dose. Again, this is not nearly as much of an issue with the 0.1mg dose.
Third, According to the largest study on taking dutasteride for hair loss (Harcha et al., 2014)**, the 0.1mg dose by itself is 70% as effective as the 0.5mg dose. When you combine this with finasteride (which already stops hair loss for nearly everyone) you have the ideal balance of stopping hair loss effectively while taking a safer combination of medication.
The ingredients in Locklab INCREASE testosterone slightly. This happens from partially blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT—the hormone responsible for genetic hair loss. So instead of losing testosterone, your body keeps more of it. Learn more
With an industry-leading 97% rate of stopping hair loss and 90% rate of visibly improving hair coverage, Locklab was created by Dr. Dan McGrath—world-renowned president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ABHRS)—to stop hair loss and help you reach peak hair regrowth. But no matter how effective a treatment is, it doesn’t work if you fail to take it consistently. That's why Locklab comes in a once-daily pill, to combat the failure of topicals and multiple medications that frustrate men and cause them to give up on treatment. “One pill taken daily” is a great marriage of the right ingredients and the right lifestyle choice for most men.
Locklab works to stop hair loss as soon as treatment begins. Most men will see regrowth around 3-6 months, but potentially up to 12 months in some cases. It is also possible over the first 12 months for your hair to thicken significantly and thus have the appearance of regrowth, without new hair actually appearing.
