How does it work?
Targeted inhibition of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) at the scalp, minimizing systemic effects and enhancing hair regrowth.
Is it safe?
Side effects associated with Oral Dutasteride such as reduced libido and erectile disfunction are rare or absent when used in the topical format. See additional important safety information above.
Minoxidil
What is it?
A synthetic aldosterone receptor antagonist.
How does it work?
Known to stimulate hair growth by reducing androgen production, and can slow down the progression of hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia.
Is it safe?
Topical spironolactone remains localized, with no detectable levels of its metabolite in the bloodstream even when applied to large skin areas. See additional important safety information above.

Tretinoin
66%
Studies have demonstrated that combining topical tretinoin with 0.5% minoxidil resulted in terminal hair regrowth in 66% of subjects after one year.
Fexofenadine
100%
100% of patients treated with fexofenadine, in combination with topical corticosteroids and superficial cryotherapy, experienced major hair regrowth after approximately 7 months.

Hormone's matter
I never knew hormones played such a key role in attitude, daily emotional health and general well being. I appreciate the king protocol and I'm also taking the building blocks - it's been great so far.
I've accomplish more on the 2 months I've been on the protocol than I have in the last 2 years.

You have questions, we have answers.
Can I use the Dutasteride+ Gel with other Maximus Protocols?
Yes. Many men experience the greatest improvements when on more than one Maximus protocol as they are complementary and hold no contraindications. Your dedicated Maximus doctor will review your total health goals and symptoms to ensure you achieve the optimal results whether you are on one or multiple protocols.
Can I use the topical gels if I’m already taking prescription oral medication like Finasteride or Minoxidil?
Possibly, some hair medications can be taken both orally and used topically at the same time. Please disclose all medications you are taking with your Maximus doctor so they can advise further.
Can I use the Hair Improvement Protocol if I’ve had a hair transplant?
Please consult the doctor that performed the transplant to confirm when topicals may be safely applied. Disclose this information to your Maximus doctor.
What’s included in the cost?
Costs include your medical review, unlimited doctor messaging, shipping, and medication. Because hair products require at least a few months of use for visible results, we offer 3 month packages to ensure you have enough medication and time to properly get going on the protocol. If you are not a candidate for treatment, you'll be eligible for a refund, less $30 for the initial doctor's consultation. The dermastamp device is an optional add-on purchase ($14.99) and can be purchased alongside topical protocols.
How do I know if the hair medication is working?
As part of each refill you will have the opportunity to send new pictures of your hair growth, which will be shared with your doctor so that you can discuss results and track your progress over time.
What states is Dutasteride+ gel available in?
This product is currently available in all US States, including District of Columbia.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card to pay for The Hair Improvement Protocol?
Yes! Maximus accepts Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
Using your HSA/FSA is easy. Simply use your HSA/FSA card as you would any other debit or credit card when providing your billing information.
HSA/FSA plans vary on what services they are willing to cover. If you are uncertain whether your plan covers Maximus' services, check with your plan administrator.
Are these products different from Maximus Warrior Protocol or the Latanoprost formula?
Yes, we are always working to offer the most safe and innovative products and have created larger portfolio of products that are both efficacious and affordable. If you are looking for a specific formulation (such as Latanoprost) or customization, please ask your doctor to see if it can be accommodated.
Does your topical gel contain propylene glycol?
Maximus minimizes use of propylene glycol to avoid the greasiness and risk of irritation of the scalp associated with it. Our standard gel product does not include propylene glycol. However there may be a chance that your doctor prescribes a different (non-gel) format, which may include propylene glycol, but at an extremely low concentration of 0.0045%.
Will the Hair Improvement Protocol gel make my hair look greasy once applied?
The Hair Improvement Protocol uses a dehydrated base to prevent giving the hair a greasy appearance once applied.
What if the topical solution causes scalp irritation?
Please discuss any side effects or irritation with your doctor, they will advise clear options or next steps to reduce irritation.
What if I miss a day of topical treatment?
Consistency is key, get back on track with application as directed by your doctor as soon as possible. If you find that you are struggling with the daily topical application, you can discuss oral medication options with your doctor as well.
Do topical gels work better than oral pill treatment?
Individual results will vary, some may have better results on topical, some with oral, and others may do best with a combination. Topical treatment is superior to oral pills for any individuals concerned with systemic effects, as the gel is only applied to specific target areas for hair growth, which will limit risks of side effects. However, some find that the daily application is cumbersome or causes irritation and prefer the ease of oral medication.
What is the Derma Stamp and how do I order one?
Maximus sells a microneedle device called a Derma Stamp. It is recommended to be used in conjunction with any of the topical medications to improve absorption and stimulate follicle growth. Studies have shown that when you combine minoxidil (a key ingredient) with microneedling, you can boost hair growth by 4x. You’ll be able to add a dermastamp to your order at checkout for $14.99.
Does the Derma Stamp hurt?
The Derma Stamp uses very shallow needles and is applied with an even pressure, lightly into the skin. This can cause mild discomfort, including after treatment. But most customers report that it is very tolerable and easy to use.
What are the possible side effects of Dutasteride+ Gel?
Due to decreased systemic absorption, side effects are less common than with oral dutasteride.
Common side effects include:
Mild scalp irritation.
Temporary hair shedding.
Rare but serious side effects (less likely than with oral dutasteride):
Allergic reactions such as rash or swelling.
Hormonal side effects such as decreased libido, breast tenderness, or changes in mood.
Seek immediate medical care for any severe or concerning symptoms.
What else should I know about Dutasteride+ Gel?
Avoid allowing others to come into contact with the treated area before it is dry.
Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency of use.
