If you’ve invested months and money into generic hair loss treatments with little to show for it, you’re not alone. Research reveals a startling truth: up to 60% of people don’t respond to minoxidil, today’s most common over-the-counter option, because their genetics prevent the medication from activating properly. Similarly, roughly 10–30% of individuals experience minimal improvement with finasteride despite using it consistently.
The underlying reason? Your genes determine whether your body can actually process and activate these medications. Without the right genetic variants (especially those in the SULT1A1 enzyme that activates minoxidil), you may be applying treatments your body simply cannot utilize.
HairCodeRx & specialized prescription topicals change this reality by eliminating the guesswork. Instead of hoping a treatment works, we use your genetics to design a targeted medication that aligns with your biology.
