Hair growth treatments
Roman Hair Solution Rx is a compounded prescription medication formulated with finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin, applied topically.
Oral minoxidil is not FDA approved for hair loss, but healthcare providers may prescribe it for hair loss at their discretion. Oral minoxidil may cause serious side effects that impact the heart, including pericarditis, precardial effusion and tamponade. When tested on animals, minoxidil caused lesions of the heart as well as other adverse heart effects. The significance of these lesions for humans is not clear. See full safety information.

How do these different hair loss treatments work?
We offer both oral and topical treatment options that contain both finasteride and/or minoxidil, two ingredients that are clinically proven to treat hair loss.
Finasteride works to slow, stop, or in some cases even reverse hair loss by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a hormone that causes male pattern baldness. We offer finasteride in its oral form (generic Propecia) and it’s also available in our 3-in-1 topical spray, Roman Hair Solution Rx.
Minoxidil is thought to help increase blood flow to the hair follicle, helping more nutrients to get to the follicle, which can support hair growth. It’s also thought to extend the growth phase and increase the size of hair follicles. We offer minoxidil in 3 forms; 5% strength topical solution (what you can buy over the counter), 6% strength (as part of our 3-in-1 topical spray), and oral minoxidil, which providers on the Ro platform can prescribe off-label, at their discretion.
Can male pattern baldness actually be treated?
Male pattern baldness occurs when hair follicles undergo a process called follicular miniaturization. This is when the longer, darker hairs that once grew on the scalp get replaced by thinner, shorter, less pigmented hairs. This process occurs due to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is derived from testosterone.
The sooner you act, the better chance you have at slowing, stopping, or even reversing hair loss. Early on, it is still possible to stop (or even reverse) hair loss. However, at a certain point, the hair follicle also loses attachment to the small muscles in the skin (called the arrector pili muscles). When this happens, hair loss is permanent.
What treatments are proven to slow further hair loss?
In clinical trials, finasteride prevented further hair loss in 83% of men who took it for 2 years and 66% of men even had some hair regrowth. Topical finasteride has also been shown in studies to reduce hair loss in as little as 90 days of treatment.
What treatments are proven to regrow hair?
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of men 18-49 years old, 71% of men using 5% topical minoxidil for 16 weeks. In clinical trials, finasteride prevented further hair loss in 83% of men who took it for 2 years and 66% of men even had some hair regrowth. While the 3-in-1 topical spray is a compounded treatment that hasn’t undergone any clinical testing, it contains two ingredients that are each clinically shown to regrow hair.

Treatment timeline
In 1–2 months
Save it
You might not see a visible change in the first two months, though some people may shed more fine hairs than before. Not to worry—this is temporary and normal.
In 3–6 months
Slow it
You might notice that hair loss has slowed, stopped, or in some cases, even reversed. Remember to take a photo to track your progress.
In 6 months and beyond
Show it off
By now, hair loss may have considerably slowed or stopped, and some people may see signs of regrowth (usually at the crown of the head). To maintain results and increase the chance of regrowth, be sure to continue with consistent daily treatment.
