How it works

How Crown actually works.

Crown blocks the hormone that shrinks hair follicles and feeds the follicles that remain. Two clinically-validated actives in one daily routine — finasteride and minoxidil, dosed at therapeutic concentrations.

Most men see reduced shedding by month three and visible regrowth around month six. Your provider monitors progress with check-ins and adjusts when needed.

What You’ll Take

One product, three mechanisms.

Stimulate growth, block DHT, strengthen keratin — all in a single prescription product.

Why This Protocol

Three mechanisms, one goal.

Minoxidil stimulates growth, finasteride blocks DHT, biotin strengthens. Attack hair loss from every angle.

About this protocol

Technical and clinical context our providers use when evaluating intake for combination hair loss therapy.

What is combination hair therapy?

Three compounds in one prescription — minoxidil (blood flow), finasteride (blocks DHT, the hair-loss hormone), biotin (keratin support)
Addresses both drivers of male-pattern hair loss — circulation and hormonal — in a single product
Topical solution or oral capsule — your provider picks the route
Six months is the standard window to gauge response. Provider follow-up at 12 weeks.
For men with androgenetic alopecia who want one prescription instead of three

Storage & handling

Store at controlled room temperature (68–77°F / 20–25°C).
Topical: apply to dry scalp once daily, allow to dry before styling.
Oral: take once daily with or without food.
Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Compounded in a licensed US 503A pharmacy.
Women's formulation excludes finasteride (contraindicated in pregnancy).
