How does our medical therapy treatment works
Medical therapy is an effective treatment option for hair loss. It offers different types of medication for varying hair loss problems
Hair loss examination
Your medical treatment therapy starts with a thorough assessment from our hair restoration specialists and board-certified dermatologists.
They will check your existing medical condition and the results of your hair loss examination to devise the proper treatment approach.
Additional laboratory procedures may be requested to give your doctor a more informed opinion of your condition.
Customized medical therapy plan
After confirming that your condition falls under a medical therapy approach, your doctor will start planning a personalized hair restoration program.
It may involve using a multi-pronged method where your physician will combine different medical therapy that suits your hair loss problem.
Assessment
Your medical therapy should work within 3-6 months, depending on the type of treatment you are given. However, there may be cases when your doctor may advise you to continue other hair restoration procedures, with the aid of medical therapy, to improve the health of your hair further.

How does our medical therapy treatment help
Medical therapy for hair loss is a non-surgical treatment that offers a more convenient and accessible option for hair restoration.
Avoid undue health risks
A non-surgical procedure allows you to avoid complications that may happen, especially if you have underlying medical conditions. If you have other existing conditions, choosing medical therapy instead of surgery, such as a hair transplant, may be your best option.
Convenient approach
Oral and topical therapies are available for convenient use. They do not require downtime, unlike surgeries where you need hospital admission and time off from work. While the treatment's effect may need months to surface, you can start your hair restoration journey without affecting your routine.
Avoid higher expenses
Getting surgery for hair loss comes with a hefty price, not only during the procedure itself but also even for aftercare. With our medical therapy, you will have a more affordable option for hair restoration.
We offer different medical therapy treatments
You can restore your hair with oral and topical treatments depending on what your hair requires.
Oral
Several oral treatments for hair loss range from prescription agents to over-the-counter supplements. The exact types of oral therapies are recommended depending on the type of hair loss.
Finasteride
A prescription medication for men with hair loss, specifically with androgenetic alopecia or male pattern hair loss. This FDA-approved treatment slows down the rate of hair loss and facilitates new growth.
You may start seeing results as early as four months, but you can notice its full effects one year after starting your medication.

Oral Spironolactone
An off-label oral treatment for women with androgenetic alopecia that cease hair loss progression by slowing down the production of androgens. As a result, hair regrowth begins to develop.
Oral Dutasteride
An oral hair loss treatment that slows down hair loss among men by restraining testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) conversion. It results in the increase of estrogen and testosterone levels within the normal range and improves hair count.
Oral Low-Dose Minoxidil
An off-label treatment that increases hair growth for both men and women by concentrations of 5% without affecting blood pressure.
In inflammatory types of hair loss, oral prescriptions targeted at decreasing inflammation can be helpful to reduce the inflammation at the level of the hair follicle to minimize future loss and avoid irreversible damage such as scarring and permanent loss of the hair follicle.
Our hair restoration surgeons and dermatologists at Root Hair Insitute are all familiar with the level of evidence of these medications. They can discuss your individual case’s efficacy, safety, and appropriateness.
Many of these agents can also be formulated as topical agents for those who want to avoid oral agents.
Topical
There are many topical agents for different types of hair loss. These agents are often formulated as a solution, foam, or oil to allow easy application onto the scalp. A topical hair loss treatment is an excellent option for patients who do not want to be on medications by mouth for their hair loss.
Multi-pronged approach
Topical therapy allows a combination of multiple active ingredients into one product to allow a multi-pronged approach to hair loss with straightforward application of a single product. This is often done with a compounded topical prescription.
Talk to our doctors at Root Hair Institute to get the most accurate prescription for your hair loss restoration.
Our doctors are skilled in determining the right ingredients for your case, what ingredients to combine, what concentration to use, and what formulation to use.
Topical treatment application
One thing to remember is that topical medication will only work if you apply it! If you are not likely to consistently use the product on your scalp at least once daily, consider other treatment options.
It is also essential to understand how to apply topical agents properly. Ensure that when applying these agents, you are parting the hair in multiple areas, applying the product, and then using your fingers to massage the product into the scalp.
Scalp contact
The hair shaft itself is made of a protein called keratin. The living cells in the hair follicles that make the hair are located on the scalp, so any topical treatment must make contact with the scalp.
This allows effectiveness at the level of the hair follicle to decrease shedding and increase growth.
Combination with other hair loss solutions
Topical agents can be combined with microneedling to increase delivery to the level of the follicle; however, it is essential to discuss this option with an experienced hair loss doctor.
