Hormonal alopecia or male pattern hair loss the main culprit is testosterone acting on hair follicles which leads to thinning and eventual bald patches
So to counteract the effect we need some anti androgen specifically counteracting the effect on hair follicle without affecting other functions
That’s finasteride
You have to take it till you have to maintain the results
There are other treatment as well like PRP , mesotherapy which helps
