Medical Therapy for Hair Restoration

With Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration Method practitioners, medical therapy for hair loss offers patients a non-surgical solution to treat and manage hair thinning or balding. Our comprehensive approach revolves around developing a customized treatment plan uniquely tailored to each patient’s needs and lifestyle.

Get to Know Your Medical Options

Medical therapy focuses on utilizing proven treatments and medications to slow hair loss, stimulate new hair growth, and strengthen existing hair. By addressing the root causes of hair loss—whether hormonal, genetic, or environmental—medical therapy offers a solution that targets the progression of thinning and balding without surgery. Some of the most effective options available include the following:

Finasteride

Finasteride, commonly known by the brand name Propecia, is a prescription oral medication that reduces the levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and leading to hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, Finasteride helps prevent further hair loss and, in many cases, promotes regrowth. It is most commonly used for men experiencing male pattern baldness but can be part of a customized plan for women when appropriate.

Minoxidil

Available in both topical and oral forms, Minoxidil is an FDA-approved hair growth treatment that stimulates hair follicles. While it doesn’t stop the underlying causes of hair loss, it increases blood flow to the scalp, nourishing hair follicles and encouraging growth. Minoxidil is often recommended for both men and women and can be easily incorporated into a daily routine.

Spironolactone

Commonly used to treat hair loss in women, Spironolactone is a medication that blocks the effects of androgens, the male hormones that contribute to hair loss. It is particularly effective for women with hormonal imbalances, including those experiencing hair thinning during menopause.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

A revolutionary non-surgical treatment, PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate natural hair growth. The process involves drawing a small sample of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging stronger and thicker hair growth.

Topical Compounds

In addition to Minoxidil, there are other topical treatments, such as customized compounds, that contain ingredients tailored to the individual’s hair loss needs. These can include formulas with DHT blockers, anti-inflammatory agents, or nutrient-rich components that nourish the scalp and promote hair growth.

Laser Light Therapy

Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to stimulate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth. It has been shown to improve the quality and thickness of existing hair, particularly when combined with other medical therapies.

The Benefits of Medical Therapy

Medical therapy offers a range of benefits for patients dealing with hair loss, including the following:

  • Non-surgical: Medical therapies, such as Finasteride or PRP, provide excellent non-surgical solutions for those who want to avoid more invasive procedures.
  • Preventative care: For individuals noticing the early signs of hair loss, medical therapy offers a way to slow down or halt the progression, preserving the hair you have and promoting regrowth.
  • Customizable: A combination of therapies can be adjusted over time to match the patient’s progress and individual needs, providing a highly flexible approach to hair restoration.
  • Comprehensive: Whether used as a standalone solution or in conjunction with surgical procedures like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), medical therapies provide a holistic solution to hair loss, tackling both its causes and effects.
