Question 1

Does peptide therapy work for hair loss?

Accepted Answer

The evidence is early. The copper peptide GHK-Cu is the best-supported topical hair peptide, but human trials are limited, so it is best used as an adjunct alongside proven treatments like minoxidil, not as a standalone cure. We label peptide evidence honestly on our site.

Question 2

What is the difference between minoxidil and finasteride?

Accepted Answer

Minoxidil stimulates the follicle and prolongs the growth phase; it works for men and women and is available over the counter in Canada as a topical. Finasteride lowers the hormone DHT that drives male pattern loss and is a prescription. They work by different mechanisms and are often combined.

Question 3

What are the options for women's hair loss?

Accepted Answer

For women, topical minoxidil plus an anti-androgen such as spironolactone is a common evidence-based combination. All anti-androgens are avoided in pregnancy. A prescriber reviews your assessment first, and some causes are referred for in-person specialist care.

Question 4

Where can I get compounded hair-loss treatment in Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

SkinOnMain, operated with CareBridge Pharmacy on Main Street in Vancouver, compounds custom hair formulas after a licensed prescriber reviews your online assessment, and ships across the Lower Mainland and BC.
