HairStim (6% Topical Minoxidil)

Topical Minoxidil & Finasteride

A 2-in-1 topical to treat hair loss and regrow new hair, made with two clinically proven ingredients. It’s a no pill option to treat hair loss and our best selling treatment for a reason.

Why use HairStim?

HairStim represents a revolutionary advancement in hair restoration by combining the two most powerful FDA-approved hair loss treatments—minoxidil and finasteride—into a single, convenient topical solution. This innovative 2-in-1 formula harnesses the synergistic effects of both medications: finasteride works to block DHT locally at the scalp, preventing the miniaturization of hair follicles, while high-potency minoxidil simultaneously stimulates blood flow and extends the growth phase of your hair. Clinical studies show that this dual-action approach achieves significantly better results than either treatment alone, with up to 94% of users experiencing maintained or increased hair count and noticeably faster, denser regrowth.

What truly sets HairStim apart is its scientifically enhanced formulation that goes beyond basic combinations. Our proprietary blend incorporates additional therapeutic ingredients like spironolactone, retinoic acid, turmeric, and resveratrol—powerful compounds that enhance absorption, reduce inflammation, and create an optimal environment for hair growth. Unlike standard over-the-counter options or even traditional prescriptions, HairStim is customized by CityHealth physicians specifically for your unique hair loss pattern and scalp condition. This personalized approach delivers maximum efficacy with minimal systemic absorption, providing you with a convenient once-daily application that addresses hair loss comprehensively without the hassle of multiple treatments or pills.

Prescription-Only Active

6-7% Minoxidil

Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth and slow balding. Because HairStim uses prescription strength compounds, our formulations are stronger than OTC or most hair loss brands you see online.

Topical Finasteride

Finasteride works by reducing your levels of DHT, the hormone primarily responsible for Male Pattern Baldness (MPB), stopping hair loss and promoting hair regrowth. We offer our formulation of finasteride in topical form.

Turmeric

Turmeric benefits your hair because of its anti-inflammatory properties. By reducing inflammation, it reduces the impact of pattern hair loss or directly inflammatory hair loss on the scalp and hair follicles.

Dutasteride

Dutasteride works in a similar way to finasteride, and reduces your levels of DHT, the hormone primarily responsible for Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) to treat hair loss.

Resveratrol

Research suggests that resveratrol boosts mitochondrial function and, in turn, the energy production of the hair cells. This helps keeps your hair follicles healthy and young.

Topical Spironolactone

In woman, spironolactone works for hair loss by inhibiting an enzyme that helps make testosterone.

How long until I see results?

Most HairStim users begin noticing the first signs of improvement within 2-3 months of consistent daily application. Initially, you’ll likely observe a reduction in hair shedding—an encouraging indicator that the treatment is beginning to work. By months 3-4, many patients report visible changes including increased hair density and the emergence of new, fine hairs (sometimes called “peach fuzz”) in previously thinning areas. This accelerated timeline outpaces traditional single-ingredient treatments, which typically require 4-6 months before showing noticeable changes. The dual-action formula of HairStim, enhanced with absorption-boosting compounds, allows the active ingredients to work more efficiently at the follicular level.

Maximum results typically become apparent between months 6-12 of consistent use, with the full benefits of HairStim’s comprehensive formula becoming increasingly visible over time. During this period, you’ll experience continued improvement in hair thickness, density, and overall coverage as more follicles respond to treatment. Clinical studies of combination therapy show that results continue to enhance throughout the first year, with maintenance of these gains in subsequent years of continued use. It’s important to remember that hair growth occurs in cycles, so patience and consistency are key—HairStim works continuously to improve your hair, even when changes aren’t immediately visible to the eye. Regular progress photos taken every 2-3 months can help you better appreciate the gradual transformation.

Common questions

HairStim is primarily designed for men experiencing male pattern baldness. For women, we offer customized formulations that exclude finasteride and may include alternative DHT blockers like spironolactone. During your CityHealth consultation, our providers will determine the most appropriate formulation based on your gender, hair loss pattern, and medical history.

HairStim offers several advantages over using separate treatments. The topical delivery of finasteride reduces the risk of systemic side effects compared to oral pills. Our proprietary formula includes absorption enhancers and anti-inflammatory compounds that improve efficacy. Additionally, the convenience of a single application improves treatment adherence, which is crucial for long-term results. Many patients also appreciate avoiding the daily reminder of hair loss that comes with taking a pill.

Some patients experience temporary shedding during the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. This is actually a positive sign that the medication is working—it indicates that weaker hairs are being pushed out as the growth cycle resets and stronger hairs begin to develop. This “shedding phase” is temporary and typically resolves within a few weeks as new, healthier hair starts growing in.

Yes, HairStim is an excellent companion treatment for hair transplant procedures. It helps maintain and strengthen your existing non-transplanted hair while creating an optimal environment for transplanted follicles to thrive. Many surgeons actually recommend starting a topical treatment like HairStim before and after transplantation to maximize overall results and protect your investment.

 

The benefits gained from HairStim will gradually diminish if treatment is discontinued. Most patients notice increased shedding within 3-6 months after stopping treatment, with hair density eventually returning to what it would have been without treatment. This is why HairStim is considered a long-term treatment for those who wish to maintain their results. Some patients choose to transition to a maintenance protocol after achieving their desired results, which your CityHealth provider can discuss with you.
