What makes Locklab different?

December 1, 2023

Locklab is 60% more effective than topicals, and 35% more effective than generic treatments. Here’s how this 3-in-1 pill gives you more regrowth.

The right ingredients in the optimal dose

5mg of oral minoxidil holds the distinction of being found to increase hair count in 100% of men—more than any other dose of any other medication available. Whereas the generic 2.5mg dose has been found to increase hair count in only 65% of men. 5mg also "yields a faster clinical response than other AGA therapies, including topical minoxidil".

1.1mg of finasteride is rapidly catching on in the hair loss industry as a superior dose than the standard 1mg, and has been recommended by Dr. Dan McGrath, former president of the ABHRS.

1mg of biotin is used for two reasons. First, biotin is known to improve hair health, volume, and shine. Second, biotin can be used as a binding agent to give your hair a boost without adding needless filler to your medication.

Up to 60% more effective than topicals

Here's an industry secret. 60% of men don’t have enough of the sulfotransferase enzyme needed to convert topical minoxidil foams and sprays into their active form. That’s why The Locklab Pill treats hair loss through “systemic action” — allowing the medication to absorb from within to address the underlying causes of hair loss.

Easier to use

Locklab fits into your daily routine without mess or time-consuming application of topicals.

86.3% of men discontinue using topical treatments—partly due to the fact they are inconvenient to apply and cause skin sensitivity issues. What's more, topical treatments only work when they're rubbed into the scalp, so spraying something on your hair (without rubbing it in) won't give you the results you're looking for.

Recommended by more doctors

Nearly all hair restoration experts, surgeons, and dermatologists recommend oral treatments over topicals whenever possible. There are two reasons for this. First, doctors understand how much harder it is to absorb medication through the epidermis and other layers of skin. Second, the superiority of using a 3-in-1 medication to fight hair loss from different angles is well known.

When should you use topicals?

The vast majority of men have a better response to oral treatments, so whenever Locklab is an option, it is your best option.

However, in rare cases, if you have experienced an allergic reaction or uncommon side effect from oral treatments, or currently take medication for low blood pressure, then trying topicals may make sense.

If you need help deciding whether Locklab is right for you, you can take our online quiz to get a free consultation, and a Locklab physician will determine if you're eligible for treatment.
