Proven Ingredients
Why our formula works
Four prescription actives targeting the four root pathways of female hair thinning at the same time.
Finasteride 0.1%
DHT blocker
Inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT — the primary cause of follicle miniaturization in androgenetic hair loss.
Ketoconazole 2%
Anti-fungal & anti-inflammatory
Competes with DHT at the androgen receptor while reducing scalp inflammation and yeast.
Azelaic Acid 5%
Sebum regulator
Regulates excess oil production and provides mild anti-androgenic effects in scalp tissue.

Top 3 concerns by age
Hair thinning has different drivers at different life stages. Here's how HairMax addresses the most common concerns at each.
Postpartum shedding
Telogen effluvium 3–6 months after pregnancy. Minoxidil shortens the resting phase and pulls follicles back into active growth.
Stress thinning
Cortisol shortens the anagen growth phase. HairMax actives extend it again so lashes hold longer.
Early genetic pattern
First signs of androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride blocks DHT before significant follicle miniaturization.
The science
A four-pathway attack on hair loss
Hair thinning in women has multiple simultaneous causes — vascular, hormonal, microbial, and inflammatory. HairMax Rx is designed to interrupt all four at once.
I
Reactivate blood flow
Minoxidil 5% vasodilates scalp capillaries to flood dormant follicles with oxygen and nutrients. Directly lengthens the anagen growth phase.
II
Block DHT at the source
Finasteride 0.1% inhibits Type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT in scalp tissue.
III
Block DHT at the receptor
Ketoconazole 2% competes with DHT directly at androgen receptors on hair follicles while reducing inflammation and yeast.
IV
Restore scalp environment
Azelaic Acid 5% clears follicle-blocking sebum, reduces microbial load, and creates the ideal environment for follicles to thrive.

Application protocol
How to apply HairMax Rx
Follow your provider's personalized instructions. The standard protocol below applies to most prescriptions — once or twice daily depending on your plan.
- 01
Start with a dry or towel-dried scalp
Apply to a clean, dry scalp. You may apply immediately after washing — pat hair gently dry first. Do not apply to wet hair.
- 02
Part hair, apply directly to scalp
Using the dropper, apply 1 ml (≈20 drops) to the thinning area. Part hair in sections to ensure scalp contact.
- 03
Massage gently for 1–2 minutes
Use fingertips to gently massage the serum into the scalp. This enhances absorption and stimulates blood circulation.
- 04
Allow to absorb — do not rinse
Leave in. Do not rinse. Allow at least 4 hours before washing hair. Ideally apply at night.
- 05
Wash hands immediately
Always wash hands thoroughly after application. Avoid contact with face, eyes, and mucous membranes.
When to apply
Most providers prescribe once-daily PM application. Some protocols call for twice daily. Follow your provider's recommendation.
The shedding phase
Expect increased shedding in weeks 2–6. This is normal and temporary. Most patients see it resolve by week 8.
Consistency is everything
Hair growth actives require uninterrupted daily use. Stopping treatment will gradually reverse gains within 3–6 months.
Styling & heat
Allow serum to fully absorb before heat styling. Give it 20–30 minutes before using hot tools.

Your questions
Frequently asked
Is topical Finasteride safe for women?
+
Topical Finasteride at 0.1% is used off-label for women with female pattern hair loss under provider supervision. At topical concentrations, systemic absorption is significantly lower than oral forms. Not for use during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.
Why am I shedding more after I start using it?
+
This is expected and temporary. Minoxidil shifts follicles from the resting phase to the active growth phase. Old resting hairs shed to make way for new growth. Most patients see shedding resolve by week 8.
How is this different from regular Minoxidil foam?
+
Standard OTC Minoxidil is a single active. HairMax Rx contains three additional prescription actives (Finasteride, Ketoconazole, Azelaic Acid) that work on multiple pathways simultaneously.
Can I use this if I color or chemically treat my hair?
+
Yes, with timing. Avoid applying the serum within 24 hours before or after chemical treatments. Your provider can advise on your specific hair-care schedule.
What happens if I stop using the serum?
+
Hair loss actives require continuous use to maintain results. Stopping treatment will gradually reverse gains over 3–6 months.
Can I use this alongside HerTeleMeds skincare Rx products?
+
Yes — HairMax Rx is formulated for scalp use only and does not interact with face-applied skincare Rx products.
