Q: How is Anti-Aging 2 S different from Anti-Aging S?
A: Anti-Aging 2 S contains finasteride in addition to estriol, tretinoin, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Our healthcare provider can determine which formulation, if either, is appropriate based on your individual needs.
Q: Why does this formula contain finasteride?
A: Finasteride is a prescription medication that inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its role and appropriateness within your treatment should be discussed with our healthcare provider rather than assumed to provide a general cosmetic benefit.
Q: What role does tretinoin play?
A: Tretinoin promotes skin cell turnover and may be used for concerns involving uneven texture and visible signs of photoaging.
Q: What should I expect when starting treatment?
A: Skin may require time to adjust to tretinoin. Dryness, peeling, redness, sensitivity, or irritation can occur, particularly during the initial stages of treatment.
Q: Are there special considerations with this formula?
A: Yes. Anti-Aging 2 S contains several prescription ingredients, including finasteride and estriol. Our healthcare provider will review relevant health information, potential risks, and whether the combination is appropriate before prescribing.
Q: How long can Anti-Aging 2 S be used?
A: Treatment may continue when medically appropriate. Our healthcare provider may assess your response over approximately 3–6 months and determine whether the regimen should be continued or adjusted.
